Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Possible I think. The default for phpBB was *not* to retain sessions between login and you needed to set it at login to retain.
I made sure that the DEVs know about it so we can see if it can be fixed.

Especially since the Oracle login seems to be annoyingly slow.Hans Eberhardt wrote:It is annoying to log on every time after a mail for new messages i want to see.
No vacant threats from me, but it's inevitable that if participation is a pain in the ass, then people will participate less.

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
I admit that the need to re-login after the previous session ended is annoying. The reason is that the live time of the SSO cookie is only for the current session. Currently we investigate if this can be tuned.

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Interestingly today at the office the "old" login cookie was still valid.
Here at home I have to login for each new session.

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Ditto for my home PC this morning. Has the cookie lifetime been tuned already? Good work if so.Martin wrote:Interestingly today at the office the "old" login cookie was still valid
I did have a glitch for much of yesterday afternoon. I keep logging in to Oracle SSO, but when I was redirected back to the forums it still didn't show me as logged in. Reproduced on two PCs (Win7 and XP, Firefox 10 and 9). Frustrating. Hopefully this was just a short term glitch while the cookie lifetime issue was being worked on?

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Anybody else having problems with the new login under Opera?
I'm constantly getting: when I try to login.
When I first got this message I went to Firefox and claimed my old login without problems.
I deleted any cookies in Opera but still getting the error message.
I'm constantly getting:
Code: Select all
Error
System error. Please re-try your action. If you continue to get this error, please contact the Administrator.

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Using opera you need to right click on the page, edit preference and set Operate to emulate FF or IE.

Thanks for your reply.Perryg wrote:Using opera you need to right click on the page, edit preference and set Operate to emulate FF or IE.
Unfortunately neither identifying nor masking as FF or IE is doing the trick for me. Always the same error message.
Anybody any other idea?

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Sorry for this post but the forums are not letting me post anywhere until I have posted somewhere... if that makes sense... So I am just trying to get one post out so that I can post my main post... (sorry)

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Goedl,
I'm using Opera. For login.oracle.com, I'm identifying as Firefox. For all other sites, I'm identifying as Opera. For all sites, I'm deleting cookies at the end of the session and only accepting them from the site I visit. I've told Opera to remember passwords for login.oracle.com and for forums.virtualbox.org and http://www.virtualbox.org, so I don't actually see the login page anymore.
Of course, this may be exactly what you've tried, but I offer the information just in case it isn't.

I weeded now through my cookies, deleted all but very few I'm sure about and now it seems to work.
Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
I was attempting to register an account as it wouldn't accept my typical username (I guess I forgot I signed up with Oracle along time ago and must have already linked this user). It was asking for capitals and numbers in my password, which I do not use for dummy forum accounts (could care less if mine got hacked). Not only that, it forced me to type in a fake address, postal code, phone number, etc. to sign up. I beg, Oracle, remove these qualifications.

Re: virtualbox.org switching to single sign on
Trying to signin to the bug tracker, and I'm getting message:
"Nick name MarkCranness is already associated with a different user."
What is the process to claim/reclaim an old Id?
Edit: I used one email for my forum account and another email for my bug tracker account, which apparently is causing me Oracle SSO problems...
I wonder can two sso accounts be merged?
