What is the status of this issue?
Comment 3 jcatchpoole 2008-05-02 12:30:19 UTC
I'm sure this is a duplicate, but now I can't find it ... Collab, when I visit the login page, and am already logged in,
I do not expect to see a login form.  (BTW something odd with the attachment here, if I click it I see binary garbage in
my browser, rather than the image, some MIME weirdness I guess).

Comment 8 Unknown 2008-05-09 14:12:11 UTC
After multiple tries, I was able to hit on what was causing the issue.

This issue is browser related & will never occur consistently because it depends on the user preferences set in the browser.

For example:

In firefox,

When you clear cookies & start again, it would hit upon this issue. But when it is tried for the second time it will not
be replicable.(preferably if cookies & cache are enabled)

In Opera,
When you login to netbeans.org for the first time, it would ask for saving the passwords.If saved, this issue will not
be replicable.Here cache/cookies should be enabled

Hence this issue is purely based on the user settings in the browser & vary from setting to setting.

As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any clarifications in the above stated.

Ramya

login problem in IE
Comment 10 ejvyas 2008-05-09 14:25:53 UTC
It is not a browser issue. It is reproducible at will in any browser. I have attached Internet Explorer screen shot. 
Comment 11 Unknown 2008-05-09 14:44:04 UTC
I still do not face an issue in IE. Please check the Tools-> Internet Options settings.I am not logged off from the screen.

Attaching the screenshot

Comment 13 ejvyas 2008-05-09 15:02:32 UTC
How do you track a user and how do you know if I am logged in? Maybe I am help with this. 

What settings should I check? I can reproduce it in multiple browsers
Comment 14 jcatchpoole 2008-05-13 12:56:58 UTC
ejvyas, the first screenshot you attached is from the TLogin page, at http://www.netbeans.org/TLogin.  However the steps
you describe in #desc7 should not involve the TLogin page.  Can you clarify ?

a) After logging in on http://www.netbeans.org/community/index.html, what URL do you land on (pls copy-paste the full
URL).  If it is the community page, does the login box now show you are logged in ?

b) After logging in, what happens if you try to visit your StartPage : http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/StartPage ?

My first comment here, in #desc4, is about that TLogin page : "Collab, when I visit the login page, and am already
logged in, I do not expect to see a login form".  I do consider that a bug, but it looks like we're talking about
something else entirely different now.
Comment 15 ejvyas 2008-05-13 13:51:22 UTC
jcatchpoole, I think you are confused. I do not know what is TLogin (http://www.netbeans.org/TLogin) That url does not
work for me. Just follow the my steps and you will see that the login box appears. Do you have multiple logins in
netbeans site? 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.netbeans.org/community/index.html
2. login using the login box on top right corner
3. Click <submit bugs and feature requests> http://www.netbeans.org/community/issues.html
4. You see the login box again on the top right corner even though I am logged in!!
Comment 16 jcatchpoole 2008-05-13 15:03:58 UTC
Heh, I am confused, but only about your conflicting reports :-)

Pls check the first screenshot you attached to this issue :
http://www.netbeans.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/55408/Login%20when%20logged%20in.jpg

As I reported earlier this shows garbage in my screen, but if I -> save as and then view, it works.  The URL shown in
your screenshot is http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/TLogin.  How did you get there ?

> Just follow the my steps 

I did, and I do not land on servlets/TLogin at any time;

> and you will see that the login box appears

No, I don't;

> Do you have multiple logins in netbeans site? 

Yes.

Pls answer the a/b questions I asked, thanks.
Comment 17 ejvyas 2008-05-13 16:46:23 UTC
Please ignore the TLogin thing. I do not know how netbeans redirected me there!

a) After logging in I am redirected to http://www.netbeans.org/community/index.html with logged in status and no login box

b) I have attached the StartPage

I do know how I ended in the TLogin page but the series of steps present a similar issue

Comment 19 Unknown 2008-06-05 08:09:53 UTC
Whenever you are logged in , login screen does not appear & this works as required according to your screenshot.

As I have already provided the detailed steps in desc9 & it is localized to the browser settings, I am closing the issue
as Worksforme.

Jack,

Kindly direct the user to have the browser settings intact, so that he would not face the issue in future.

Ramya

2. login using the login box on top right corner

Comment 21 Unknown 2008-06-05 13:44:03 UTC
Can you try shift + reload in the browser after reaching step 4 (or) after each step mentioned above?Let me know if you
face the issue.
Comment 22 ejvyas 2008-06-06 01:34:15 UTC
Does not take the log in link away. How is this implemented? There are some issues as I can see. I have tried it on
multiple boxes with default browser configuration. 
Comment 23 Unknown 2008-06-06 05:16:05 UTC
I am not sure if this would help you, however check issue 84866 where you might find answers for this type of behavior.
Comment 24 Unknown 2008-06-19 14:47:04 UTC
Jack,

Could you please guide the user on this ticket, since I feel it is user defined browser settings & it worksforme.

Regards,
Ramya
Comment 25 ejvyas 2008-06-19 15:17:32 UTC
I have tried it on multiple browser and even on multiple systems without any browser configuration. Looks like the
testers have some browser settings customized.

We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
Comment 27 ejvyas 2009-11-08 16:05:11 UTC
If it works you may close it but INVALID is certainly not the correct status!
