While User1 is logged in, if another user, User2, opens another browser window
on the same client and logs in, the second login overwrites the cookie generated
in the original User1 session. Assuming that User2 is a different user account, a
different current frame is built, and a new session is granted. The second session
is displayed in the Active Sessions section of the iLO Status page as current user:
User2.
The second login has effectively orphaned the first session (User1) by wiping out
the cookie generated during User1's login. This behavior is the same as closing
User1's browser without clicking the Log Out link. User1's orphaned session is
reclaimed when the session timeout expires.
Because the current user frame is not refreshed unless the browser is forced to
refresh the entire page, User1 can continue navigating using his or her browser
window. However, the browser is now operating using User2's session cookie
settings, even though it is not readily apparent.
If User1 continues to navigate in this mode (User1 and User2 sharing the same
process because User2 logged in and reset the session cookie), the following can
occur:
User1's session behaves consistently with the privileges assigned to User2.
User1's activity keeps User2's session alive, but User1's session can time out
unexpectedly.
Logging out of either window causes both window sessions to terminate. The
next activity in the other window can redirect the user to the login page as if
a session timeout or premature timeout occurred.
Clicking Log Out from the second session (User2) results in a
Logging out:
redirecting the user to the login page.
If User2 logs out then logs back in as User3, User1 assumes User3's session.
If User1 is at login, and User2 is logged in, User1 can alter the URL to
redirect to the index page. It appears as if User1 has accessed iLO without
logging in.
These behaviors continue as long as the duplicate windows are open. All
activities are attributed to the same user, using the last session cookie set.
