Yes, the pass_hash key rotate often on your installation.

Can you please take a look at the following settings in IPB2 admin:
Tools & Settings => View All General Settings => Security and Privacy

Which values are you using for:

Member's log in key: Expiration
Reset member's log in key upon each log in?
Session Expiration (in seconds)

The only issue I can reproduce is the logout issue. I hope to have a fix for it in the next 2 days.

The authorization mismatch or login issue is something that I can't reproduce anymore. Did the users in question actually cleared the cookies/browser cache and then restart the browser? This is an important step after an older cookie could cause this problem.

If i not solve this cookies or what is it error i will have to abandon CT as cms of choice.

I get hundreds mails from members who can't login and get authorization mismatch. Everything worked well for several years.

I discovered so far two behaviors:

1) Logging in from Contentteller will keep me logged-in for 2 hours in both Contentteller and IPB.
2) Logging in from IPB will keep me logged-in in IPB but logged me out after a while in Contentteller. Revisiting the forum again will log me back in Contentteller.

I suspect that IPB will expire the pass_hash after a while. This would explain the temporary logout. I will do some more tests later on my local test installation.

I will keep an eye on it. I am current logged in for the last 30 minutes on your website but so far no problem. Perhaps it is a browser specific issue?

Contentteller. It's definitely CT issue.

Look like you changed in the meantime the cookie domain. Your site is now working fine for me. I only had to delete all old msfn cookies in the browser.

I just register on your website. The cookie issue is caused by cookie domain mismatch.

Basically, Contentteller is using  www.msfn.org (the address entered in the browser) as cookie domain while IPB2 is always using .msfn.org. Removing .msfn.org from the Cookie Domain field in IPB2 admin should fix the problem.

Not sure what the wrong usernames cause but I will investigate the problem shortly.

I suspect there is something with the cookie setup that cause a conflict between the Contentteller generated cookies and the original IPB2 cookies.

I did that but im not logged in in CT after login through forum.

Works fine on my test setup. Login in IPB2 will also login in CT.

I currently use the following settings in IPB2:
Cookie Domain: empty
Cookie Name Prefix: empty
Cookie Path: empty
Create a stronghold auto-log in cookie? Yes

and in Contentteller (Manage Websites):
Cookie prefix (optional): empty
Cookie path (optional): /
Cookie name: empty

I put back CT login. This is what happens:

To take full advantage of all features you need to login or register. Registration is completely free.

When I click login i get this:

Error

You can't login because you are already logged in.

You need to clear the cookies or logout

Hmm.. Contentteller is not changing the pass_hash in the middle of a session?

The only function that create cookies/added sessions is login. You could try to use IPB2 login function instead.

You could do this by changing the template site_login_anon and replacing the login link:

contentteller{$insert['param_ext']}{$insert['param_ct']}users{$insert['param_action']}login{$insert['param_page']}index.html

with:

 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=Login&CODE=00

At the time of reply
session_id.msfn.org/ 49c287ea339ffe846695f9f6bd2a4bf5
pass_hash.msfn.org/ c7f06a3e0abxxxxxxxxxxxxORIGINAL

wait 22 minutes

values after getting mismatch error
session_id.msfn.org/ 49c287ea339ffe846695f9f6bd2a4bf5
pass_hash.msfn.org/ 3621f1454xxxxxxxxxxxxDIFFERENT

another member reply:

WTF, I have the same password hash?

A few more characters to confirm: 3621f1454cacf99xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EDIT: Confirmed with Tripredacus that the hashes were the same.

There is something wrong with script. Members have same password hashes.

I still have a lot of issues.

I'm having to log in again/auth error when I click in a subscription email. You need to give it some time from your last browsing session to see it. I also get a session ID in my address bar when I get here after clicking the link....site not seeing my cookie.

Tried clearing cookies but still happens.

I'm still getting the authorization mismatch error when using the "Fast Reply" box every so often.

It happens with fast reply, reply and new topic.

Still being asked to login everytime i close & open browser.

People get authorization mismatch when sending PM. People cant login.

The only issue I can reproduce so far is the problem that login from CT will not automatically login on the forum. It seems one of the last IPB 2 updates added additional security features to prevent cookie stealing. I will look into it tomorrow in the office.

Do your users get still the authorization mismatch error after you moved the CMS to the root?

Is the option "Everyone can post a comment? (optional)" enabled under News Preferences? This option allow everyone (including unregistered users) to post comments.
