Hi Jack,

I’m no servlet expert either, but it seems you can change the default name (JSESSIONID) of the session cookie in your web.xml file to something else. For example:

<session-config> <cookie-config> <name>MYBELOVEDAPP</name> </cookie-config> </session-config>

If you open the Development → Application → Cookies panel of your browser, you should be able to see if your custom session key was adopted.

If that works, there should be no need anymore to change the DBA session key, as suggested in my previous reply.

Hope this helps, Christian

Hi Christian,

I think you're right, this is a browser issue relating to ports being ignored. Unfortunately changing the session key doesn't resolve the issue. It sounds like the DBA webapps need to be contacting different hosts to prevent session data from being overwritten. Do you have any advice on how to go about accomplishing this? I'm afraid networking is not one of my strengths.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Best,

Jack

Hi Jack,

It seems that the browser ignores different ports when handling session data (just a guess). Does it work if you change the session key of your second DBA instance [1]?

Best, Christian

Hi,

I have two separate BaseX installations on the same machine. Each has its own set of databases and users. I run their HTTP servers simultaneously, configured to their own sets of ports.

When I authenticate to the DBA webapp of one, I am logged out of the DBA webapp of the other.

What might I do to prevent this?

Best regards,

Jack
