Hi,

I upgraded my "SSL admin" testing site from CMSMS 1.10-beta3 to 'beta4. The upgrade was fine, but I tried something new and noticed something odd...

I successfully created a new shortcut (to Site Admin » Global Settings), but each time I click the new shortcut link, I'm required to log in again. It appears that the session ID is not getting passed along by the shortcut.

System Information is attached. Additional config info:

Code: Select all

$config['admin_url'] = 'https://example.com/4admin';
$config['root_url']   = 'http://example.com';
$config['ssl_url']   = 'https://example.com';

Note: suPHP is used, so PHP scripts are executed with the permissions of their owners.

Okay, I did more investigating. It seems the problem is "intermittent", but I haven't figured out what triggers it.

To clarify further: I create the shortcuts by browsing to the page I want to bookmark and then selecting the "1. Add Shortcut" link from the navt_bookmarks "Shortcuts" div, on the right of the admin console. I am not entering the URLs manually under "Manage Shortcuts".

I just tried again on a second beta4 site that was exhibiting this behavior last night. I successfully created a new shortcut. This one works normally, yet the older (failing) shortcut still does not.

So, I looked in the cms_admin_bookmarks table and noticed that the url column for the failing shortcut is missing the trailing '[SECURITYTAG]' that appears in the other (working) shortcuts. For example:

Code: Select all

https://secureXXXX.hostgator.com/~example/admin/siteprefs.php

Not sure what may have caused this condition.
