Description

The FE session cannot be restored after it has been lost because a change of the IP address. This did work with all TYPO3 versions before TYPO3 8.7.

Use case:

A user has put items into the basket. Then the IP changes. This leads to a lost FE session. All the items in the basket are gone. This is fine so far. However now the user realises that he has to restart with putting items into the basket. Now the FE session is completely broken. Every item in the basket is immediately gone with each reload of the page. It is not possible any more to put any item into the basket. The storing of the FE session does not work any more.
It only helps to clear the FE TYPO3 Cookie in the browser (Firefox). Then everything works fine again.

Hey Franz,

you should be able to use the lockIP option in TYPO3_CONF_VARS[FE] to disable the IP switch, right?

Hello Benjamin,

I use this Install Tool setting

[FE][lockIP] = 2

Integer (0-4). If >0, fe_users are locked to (a part of) their REMOTE_ADDR IP for their session. Enhances security but may throw off users that may change IP during their session (in which case you can lower it to 2 or 3). The integer indicates how many parts of the IP address to include in the check. Reducing to 1-3 means that only first, second or third part of the IP address is used. 4 is the FULL IP address and recommended. 0 (zero) disables checking of course.

But if the IP address changes then it is ok, that the basket is now empty and a FE user logged out. The problem is, that the feature to put a product into the basket is broken, if the IP address did change. I will never be again possible to buy a product unless the user clears his cookie.

I made a little test extension, but I fail to reproduce the error.

Can you point me to the code in your ext that fails?

The session reading does not work after the IP change.

$tmpBasketExt = $TSFE->fe_user->getKey('ses','basketExt');

...

if ($bStoreBasket)  {
    if (is_array($this->basketExt) && count($this->basketExt))  {
        $TSFE->fe_user->setKey('ses','basketExt',$this->basketExt);
    } else {
        $TSFE->fe_user->setKey('ses','basketExt',array());
    }
    $TSFE->fe_user->storeSessionData(); // The basket shall not get lost when coming back from external scripts
}

The storing of the session data only works for the current run of the PHP script. But at the next execution of the php script, the getKey function reads an empty value and not the formerly stored array.

The full extension is here:

I tested with

        /** @var TypoScriptFrontendController $tsfe */
        $tsfe = $GLOBALS['TSFE'];
        $session = $tsfe->fe_user->getSessionData('dummy_date');
        $tsfe->fe_user->setSessionData('dummy_date', date('c'));

        return $session;

I simulated the IP change by adjusting \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\AbstractUserAuthentication::ipLockClause_remoteIPNumber to report different IPs.

I have inserted your script inside of tt_products/model/class.tx_ttproducts_basket.php.

This PHP code is run twice in my case (one shop plugin and one minibasket on the same page). During the first run $session is always empty. At the second time it gives the correct date value. I can repeat this wrong behaviour several times by a page reload. The behaviour remains wrong until I will remove the FE TYPO3 fe_typo_user cookie. Then everything will be fine again and the $session is filled until the IP changes again. The session features is broken as soon as the IP changes for one time. It only still works during the run of one PHP script.

I did always change the IP address by making a new connection with the router.

what is your FE|lockIP value?

Actions #9

Updated by Franz Holzinger about 7 years ago

[FE][lockIP] = 2

This is really strange then, because it means that changing your IP should not invalidate the session at all. Your router will most likely deliver IPs within the C subnet so with lockIP=2 any address will be accepted.
Can you please debug what \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\AbstractUserAuthentication::ipLockClause_remoteIPNumber returns whenever it is called?

AbstractUserAuthentication.php (typo3_src-8.7.6):

protected function ipLockClause_remoteIPNumber($parts)
{
debug ($parts, 'ipLockClause_remoteIPNumber Pos 1 $parts');
    $IP = GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR');
    if ($parts >= 4) {
debug ($IP, 'return 1 $IP');
        return $IP;
    }
    $parts = MathUtility::forceIntegerInRange($parts, 1, 3);
    $IPparts = explode('.', $IP);
debug ($IPparts, '$IPparts Pos 1');
    for ($a = 4; $a > $parts; $a--) {
        unset($IPparts[$a - 1]);
    }
debug ($IPparts, '$IPparts Pos 2');
debug (implode('.', $IPparts), 'return 2');
    return implode('.', $IPparts);
}

Okay the issue has to do with a BE user being logged in at the same time. Reading the output above your BE|lockIP = 4.

So we need to check whether the invalidation of your BE login also kills the FE session.
