Bug #4625
closedauthenticate against KNB, switch source to DEV, and still have access
0%
Description
I have packages that exist on DEV but not KNB. I start Morpho r4682 with KNB set as the metacat source and authenticate. I can confirm my packages are not on KNB. I then switch the metacat source to dev and open the package list and can see my packages. I can export the packages and extract the data. There was no re-authentication.

This might not be a morpho bug, now that I think about it. Maybe this should go against metacat and its authentication?

are the packages saved locally? then they'll show up no matter what source is used.

I thought about that, so I temporarily wiped my .morpho folder, but it didn't make a difference.

what are some of the docids you are talking about: bot h for DEV and KNB?
Updated by Oliver Soong about 15 years ago
soong.28.5 should be on DEV but not KNB. The data tables in it should only be accessible by kruger-tpc and jing. Search for soong.

Morpho is switching to certificate-based authentication and will not be tied to any particular Member Node (Metacat) by a 'session'. While the behavior described here is unfortunate (if replicable) I think we can, in good faith, mark it as 'won't fix' because we fully expect to keep someone "logged in" even if they change to use a different MN.
