Logging In Issues ~ One Possible Answer

[Danoinark]

Steve Smith first brought up the issue of problems staying logged in to OAF. He has come up with a solution that has helped his issue and he was kind of enough to allow us to pass it on. Dano.

From Steve:

I believe the issue might be with our company's proxy server. Ours is set to cache popular web sites to decrease loading time of web pages. It saves an image of common site until the site changes and then it refreshes it's image. It also blocks content or unwanted protocols from being received or transmitted. For whatever reason, our proxy is blocking OAF from “sensing” my identity when I go from one page to another. I have no idea how to fix it, but when I bypass it, I can stay logged on all day even when I leave the site and return. That is the reason I only had the problem when at work. Thought I'd pass this along that at least I now know what my issue is and hope it might help someone else.

You can go into Explorer and Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings. Uncheck any services that may be checked like Proxy settings and try the Internet. Be warned that some Internet providers may require a proxy to connect so careful notes need to be taken as to what was changed just in case.

I don't know what browser everyone else is using, but a couple of days ago I switched to Firefox just because of all of the security issues with Explorer. I haven't had the problems with logging in since.
