1.6.0.14: Web UI not staying signed in?

[Shuttleu]

Not sure if it’s something I have enabled or a checkbox I’ve forgotten to tick, but I seem to be unable to get the Remember Me box to function.

If I log in to the web interface, check the box to Remember Me, come back to it a few hours later, I’ll get a message that my session has expired and I need to log in again.

Are there any known issues regarding this functionality?

@Shuttleu This is a bug in 1.6.0, not a setting you missed. The inactivity timeout signs you out and clears the Remember Me cookie, even when you checked Remember Me. The default timeout is 1 hour.

Workaround until the fix ships: go to FOG Configuration → FOG Settings → Login Settings. Set FOG_ALWAYS_LOGGED_IN to 1, or set FOG_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT to 24.

I will post here when the fix reaches the stable channel.

@Shuttleu The fix is now in stable release 1.6.0.158. Update to it, and remember me should work appropriately.
