Darthkatzs Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Ever since updating to 7.5.1 I can't stay logged into the admin area. It logs me out every day eventhough I select "remember me". I have already tried clearing all my cookies. I've also checked to make sure that my ip isn't changing. I've restarted my browser several time but nothing seems to be helping. Edited August 17, 2018 by Darthkatzs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Technical Analyst II WHMCS Alex Posted August 17, 2018 WHMCS Technical Analyst II Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hello @Darthkatzs, If you navigate to `Utilities -> Logs -> Admin Log` are you seeing your IP address consistently (in other words not changing)? Being logged out is an indication of the IP address changing, which would cause you to be logged out due to the Session IP Check. You can read more about this (and you can also disable it which would resolve this) here: https://docs.whmcs.com/Security_Tab#Disable_Session_IP_Check In most instances, you won't want to disable this for security reasons, so it would be necessary to identify why your IP address is changing frequently, prevent this from happening, then leave the Session IP Check enabled. An example I see often is when clients are using Cloudflare, which is easy identifiable by reviewing the System Admin Login Log, where you will see Cloudflare IP address listed. If that is the case, you will want to add Cloudflare IP addresses to your Trusted Proxies inside WHMCS. You can read more about this here: https://docs.whmcs.com/Trusted_Proxy_Settings The Proxy Header field allows you to configure the HTTP header WHMCS will use to figure out which IP address is the authoritative IP address for the request, in other words, your connecting IP address. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, I'm dumb, it seems my pc is randomly turning on ipv6, I can see it jump from ipv4 to ipv6 like every day and the ipv6 address changes constantly too. My bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
