Description

It seems as if it is not possible to login to different versions of backend (e.g. 4.4.6 and 4.5.0) on the same domain. A restart and cache-cleaning of the browser is required.
It's unusual to use different versions on the same domain, but in our case we use an SSL proxy:
https://ssl-proxy.net/www.typo3-4.4.6-page.com/typo3/
https://ssl-proxy.net/www.typo3-4.5.0-page.com/typo3/

Without a browser-restart it is impossible to login. Backend claims that user or password is wrong. Using an other browser or restarting the used one solves the problem - unless the other backend is called.

Opening the second BE without using the Proxy works fine (Both can be open the same time, but one of them is unsecure):

http://www.typo3-4.4.6-page.com/typo3/
http://www.typo3-4.5.0-page.com/typo3/

In general, working in more backends on the same domain simultaneously is not possible, as this results in a clash of cookie data.

However, it's weird that you can't login two a different installation after logout. I assume, there's a session cookie left, which is not cleared on logout and thus disturbs the login to the next installation.

Can you try to figure out, whether that's really the case? Just use Firebug or a similar tool, to show the remaining cookies after logout and remove them one by one.

Thanks

Hello Steffen,

until 4.5.0 it was no issue to have multiple backends opened. The be_typo_user value was stored in a session cookie which is related to the path - so there is no problem. This remains for 4.5.0, so the problem must be somewhere else.

I added a dump of "firecookie". PHPSESSID is not related to this issue as far as I could find out.

I will try to get more details on this issue.
