[Koha] AOL users and koha logins?

[Krishnan Mani]

Hi Ray,

i see this message often, but only when i am in the middle of doing stuff in Koha (on the staff client so far, and not in an OPAC login), and i happen to reboot my router or something else happens to drop my Internet connection.

In this case, when i click on the next link, Koha says my IP address has changed and i need to login again, though my session hasn't timed out yet. I am assuming that this because my internet provider uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to my router every time it connects. Usually addresses assigned via DHCP have a certain life (called a lease), and it is likely that your AOL user may be experiencing a change of their IP addresses.

Otherwise, i fail to see any other connection with AOL users and this problem in Koha. And i don't use AOL.

Thanks and regards,

Hi all - any AOL users logging into Koha OPACs out there?  Can you
help me, please?  I've a report from a borrower that "the site tells
me I am entering from a different IP address (whatever that means)
and require I re log in again each time i wish to access a different
part of the site"

I've had a quick search of the Koha sites and not found any reports of
this and AOL is big enough that I'd expect someone else to have seen
the problem.  Can any AOL users test their OPAC and see if they can log
in OK, please?

That site was running Koha 3.0.0rc1 at the time of the report, I think,
in case it matters.

Thanks in advance for any help.
