I had the same issue, it's a security feature for sure... It will also happen if you follow a link from a cached page in your app/config/core.php
Change your config:write to Configure::write('Security.level', 'medium'); And that should do the trick. I don't remember where I found the answer to this... but it has something to do with the 'high' level of security checking against a unique session key that gets regenerated on each page request. -----Original Message----- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:cake-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Onkel Judith Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 6:14 AM To: CakePHP Subject: Re: Auth losting authentication with no reason Same effect here if you double-click a link you are also logged out.
