Description Shelley Gurney 2012-03-13 03:54:18 UTC
The majority of our users are still using IE and navigate via the browser buttons. This is causing some issues with their sessions expiring when they navigate forwards and backwards several times.

Is there a fix for this in Koha, to stop this from happening? Can we trick IE into not cancelling the session. (not an apparent issue in Chrome or Firefox)

Can you provide the steps required to reproduce the problem?
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2015-01-06 20:42:03 UTC
I have run into this before:

1) log into Koha
2) Use the return button to get past the login page
3) Notice you are logged out

It might happen in other circumstances too - don't have IE to do more testing.

IE isn't supported anymore by the Koha community (or Microsoft)
