v11 - Sick of needing to lose so much for this antiquated popup login yuck sticky cookie curse

Dang me if I haven't gone and deleted 20 different sites' cookies along with losing my pinned tabs for various cloud services, etc., etc., because Aras doesn't actually respect logging out.

Yes, I can clear just the cookies for aras, but should I have to!?

I'm on a meeting and it comes up we need to log in as a different user. I click "log out", but Aras don't care! So, in a rush, I clear cache and cookies.... and this process screws all my other work, work tracking, bug tracking, everything! So, I try incognito windows. Seems to allow two log ins, one time. Then, even incognito windows do this dumb stuff.

I hate the login process from 1999. Is there a way to:

Make this thing clear cookie on logout so we can use different users?

Get rid of the three page login process!?

  • Hi Neil,

    I used to see this issue in 11.0 as well, though I haven't run into it since I've started doing the bulk of my work in 12.0. The way I used to resolve this issue was by closing and reopening Chrome. I wouldn't need to clear my cache, and I would be able to log in as a different user in the reopened Chrome window. This comes with it's own interruptions to work, but I would typically be able to just have Chrome open all of my recently closed tabs without losing any of my active work.

    As an alternative when I needed to test different users, I would open a different browser like Edge or Firefox. This would let me do things like make changes as an admin user in Chrome and then test those changes as a normal user in another browser.

    The login process can be modified. This is most commonly done by enabling Windows authentication. As you're part of a subscriber, you can find a configuration guide in the Aras Innovator CD Image called Windows Authentication Setup. With Windows authentication, there's also an extra option that lets you bypass the login screen.

  • I'd like to just borrow you for a couple days. I'll drive, you give directions. Slight smile

  • I've been developing with Aras for years now, so there's a lot of details like this that I take for granted and assume that everyone knows. I appreciate these kinds of questions you've been asking. It's nice to see things from a fresh perspective since it lets us know what kinds of resources would be useful to create. :)
