Users Mix!

Hi,

I use InstantMantis-1.0.8, I created 2 users as follows:
Amani --> Administrator
Dummy--> reporter

on the same PC, I first logged in as 'Dummy' and accessed the 'Report Issue' page, then I logged out and relogged as 'Amani', now Mantis displayed the new user correctly (Logged in as: Amani (Amani Hamdan - administrator)) , but when i navigated to the 'Report Issue' page, it displayed the following (Logged in as: Dummy (test - reporter)). Is there any thing wrong with my installation or this is a bug that should be reported?

Please advice
cheers,

Amani

have you tried pressing refresh on your browser?

when i try the refresh, it works.... system reads the right user, but i think this could be a problem if i forget to refresh:

I repeated the case as follow:
Amani (Admin and works on X project)
Dummy (Reporter and is not assinged to X project)

I started by Amani this time , opened the report issue page for Project X then logged out. Then I relogged as Dummy, I navigated to the report issue page and mantis read the user as Amani. I didn't refresh and reported an issue! when I tried to View the issue as Dummy, Mantis raised the msg: Access Denied.
Going back to amani, X project view, I found that the issue was reported for the X project by Dummy, so Mantis read the right user but didn't prevent the reporting process even though Dummy is not assinged to the project!

Regards,
Amani

I don't suppose you're going through a proxy by any chance? We had these sorts of problems with whatever proxy was being used on our network at work (it was an authenticated proxy).

Once we told the browsers to bypass the proxy for the (local, internal) Mantis server, we had no more problems...

yes, we don't use a proxy.
