Summary: Check for wrongly set system clock on login Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: User login AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: gti...@gmail.com >From time to time someone runs into the problem that his system clock is set more than a month in the future, rendering login cookies immediately invalid. This means that logging into MediaWiki is impossible - the logon seems to work, but on the next page load, he is logged out again. This is a very annoying bug as the system clock is not something one would typically check for login problems so usually the afflicted person is unable to use the wiki for days until the problem is located. It would be nice to include a timestamp in the successful login page, compare it to the system clock via javascript, and either show a warning or just extend the validity of the cookie if the system clock seems to be off. (Or at the very least change the "check if you have cookies enabled" text to include checking the system clock.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
