My IT access at work is regulated via a highly secure network of 130,000+ government workstations. Strict IE settings are applied, proxies, and all sorts.

I can access both my web sites from work no problem. But after logging in both sites always log me out almost immediately after loggin me in (about 10 seconds). Odly though, I can access Xoops.org and stay logged in for the time period specified by the site admins. I am typing this from work in fact.

I use XOOPS 2.0.13.2, I have Protector Module, and HTTP_REFERRER is turned off (hard code disabled). Firewalls are not applied per workstation either. All sites are 'approved' sites for access.

Can anyone help me understand why I can stay logged in on Xoops.org (and other like it-hq.org) but not on my own sites? What am I missing?

Cheers

Ted

Maybe this could be of a help.

Thanks, but his issue is different to mine.

I have no problems logging in to either site on 'everyday' computers. It all works fine. It's just when I log on via my work network, and apparently some other govt. staff have reported the same problem.

But, as I say, I can log into Xoops.org. without any trouble from work. So Xoops.org must have something configured differently to my site. Perhaps it's the way my commercial host have their servers configured?

I'm not too bothered about fixing it as such if it's beyond my control, but I'd like to have an explanation for people when I meet them at conferences when they ask "Why can't I log into your site?".
