cookies problem

Hi,


I upgraded to 2.1.9 recently (late last week). 

 

Some users the same day complained that the website they were using was
logging them out. The only thing  I can think of is that the cookie that
maintains info about the user's  session was not handled correctly by
ATS.

 

Any ideas?

 

Mav

Thanks Leif,

Forgot to say my setup is using ats as reverse proxy.

Hmmm, well, same applies, but seems even less likely. You'll have to
trace some sessions, and try to understand why the cookie sessions would
expire. I do this all the time as well (reverse proxy from ATS to
Drupal) with no issues.

Nothing rings any bells, I use ATS in forward proxy mode myself, and I
never have a problem.

I'd check to make sure that the problem sites aren't sending too relaxed
headers, allowing content that shouldn't be cached to actually be
cached. We've seen this before, even Amazon shopping carts are(or were)
cacheable under certain conditions, this is why we changed the default
settings to be more strict:

    CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.required_headers INT 2
