Is this a bug ?

Hi there

Using the DA Reseller's panel, it's possible to login as one of the users using your reseller password. This then launches a new window with the reseller logged on as the user, and with the reseller window still open.

However, if I then go back to the reseller window, DA won't let me do anything, as it thinks I'm logged in as the user, not the resller.

Is this a bug, or can I not be logged in as both reseller and user at the same time ?

Thanks,
David

That "feature" came with the new sessions system a few versions back. I don't like it; I preferred the http login system, but John seems to like sessions :)

Specifically NS/Mozilla (and there's not much other choice these days if you're using Apple or Linux on your desktop) wasn't properly processing logouts; you couldn't logout as one user and log in as another.

That's cool, but maybe when we use the "Login as User" feature DA should create a new session indexed by a key and carry the key via the page query string.

I imagine you could also (to remember the key) use a cookie with multiple values or multiple cookies entirely.

Yes, that would definitely be better :) I hate all the logging in and out I've been going through lately.

What I like best is the way Plesk does it; when you're logged in as admin you have full control over everything on the box, without any additional logging in or out. When you're logged in as a reseller you have full control over all your accounts without any logging in or out, and when you're logged in as a domain owner, you have full control of your domain.

Yeah, I agree - that's by far the best. I think what's implemented right now is more of a slap-it-in quickly job, I hope :D

Also there's the "remember login" option we need when we're logging in ;) (right now DA only remembers login for your current brower session, I think)
