[SOLVED] Prestashop keep asking for username and password on every link clicked

[gogosng09]

I searched the forum and saw someone turn off IP checking of cookies.

I've already did that for both Chrome and Safari, but it's not working.

I also amended the isLoggedBack() on cookie.php by making the fourth condition a comment:

 

AND (!isset($this->_content['remote_addr']) OR $this->_content['remote_addr'] == ip2long(Tools::getRemoteAddr()) OR !Configuration::get('PS_COOKIE_CHECKIP'))

 

Is there anything else I can do to make the login go away?

Are you using the same IP as other people? Maybe a shared work ip or Public Hotspot?

I'm using a home router... Does it affect?

I solved the issue from the following post http://www.prestasho...-login-problem/   

Actually for versions greater thatn 1.5 the line needs to be commented in Employee class in classes folder.

Hi gogosng09, I was looking for a solution but you have found it first. 

 

Were you using a dynamic IP on your home router? Everytime the IP is changed, you need to re-log in. This is for security purposes.

I'm not sure what kind of security the IP check is supposed to bring, but it causes problem with IPv6. I have a server that has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. From one connexion to the next, I may be switching between the IPv4 and IPv6 route (i.e. it sometimes sees my IPv4 address for one page load, and my IPv6 address for the next one). Each time is seen as an IP change and causes the login prompt to reappear. This seems bogus.
