Description
At a customer site, the computer time was 25 minutes in the future and my django session was set to expire in 20 minutes:
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 1200
The users could not login, that seems fair but there was no error in the login form, the login form should set a test cookie and then mention that the cookie could not be set. But the login form came back as is, empty.
This happened in IE6, I could not test with another browser.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
If the client's time is that far ahead, then it won't be sending back any cookie data. Django *does* set a test cookie, and checks it as part of the login process; if the test cookie can't be read, you should be getting a "Web browser doesn't have cookies enabled" error. That's what I get when I try to reproduce the circumstances you describe.
Closing worksforme. If anyone else can reproduce this set of conditions (and can provide more details on the setup required), please reopen.
