LoginModule does not use already logged in user information like default login module

[rupert thurner]

suppose we have two instances a, b. a user logs into instance a.

going to instance b, pressing login with the trac standard login module results in automatically logging in the user into instance b without asking username/pwd.

switching to form based login, this information is not retrieved, but a login screen is presented to the user.

it would be great if form based login would work the same way.

The reason to use form-based logins is to avoid exactly that behavior. Browsers cache HTTP authentication credentials, so when you go to login the second time, it does it for you.

This is now available as part of TracForge?. A sample config is:

[components]
trac.web.auth.LoginModule = disabled
tracforge.linker.auth.* = enabled

[tracforge]
master_path = /path/to/master/env

[anonymous]

what do you mean by "this" is available?

we changed to form based login just to have the "reset password" link.

[Noah Kantrowitz]

You can use the tracforge auth-link component so that when you log in to one Trac, you are logged into all in the configured group. This is unrelated to changing passwords.
