After a short time, I get logged out of Vista
-
Vista sets a cookie and must match the time and the computer's Internet address (called an IP address) to the cookie.
- Check the time configuration. The computer should be set to have your time zone and time set correctly. A time set significantly ahead or behind can result in an inability to stay inside WebCT Vista.
- Internet Service Providers who use proxy servers do not assign a consistent Internet address to their customers. Each time your computer appears to come from a different Internet address, you will have to log in again. Some ISPs are worse about this than others.
We intend to implement new hardware that should assist WebCT Vista in better managing the connections of other computers and increase the longevity of the sessions. We hope to set up, test, and implement this new hardware before the end of the Fall 2005 semester.
