Cookie management issue

Reported by: awarnock Owned by: ticheler
Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: User interface (web) Version: 2.1.0 Final
Keywords: user session, cookie Cc:

Description

Running a GeoNetwork session sets a cookie in a way which prevents multiple sessions in the same browser (ie, different tabs or windows) at the same time. Being able to run multiple simultaneous sessions is desirable behavior - one might want to perform different roles in different windows simultaneously in order to prevent unintentional changes and limit the potential for damage.

This issue came to light during the GeoNetwork Developer's Workshop.

This bug on the long term might be interesting to fix. At this point it is too risky to fix because the behaviour in the different browsers is not known.

At this point it can be worked around by opening 2 different browsers (like FF and IE).
