Description Lucas Gass (lukeg) 2024-11-01 13:45:30 UTC

This is a change in behavior that is occurring due to CSRF protection ( Bug 34478 ). 

Prior to 24.05:
1. Set timeout to something low for testing.
2. Checkout some items 
3. Go to check in screen, wait until you are sure that you'll be timed out. 
4. Check an item in
5. You will be forced to login back in, once you've done so the action completes.

After 24.11: 
-At step 5, after logging back in, the check in does not complete and the user just again check in the item.

My example is check in but the same can be true of many other actions in Koha, I think.

Comment 2 Donna 2024-11-01 14:00:05 UTC

Is this really something that should be changed?  I don't think actions should complete when you are logged back in.  It seems to me that this update is now making Koha work the way it should have always worked.  It's pretty much understood that across the webs, if your session timeout/ends/you log out, you have to start over again.
