Good day,
I have been noticing similar issues, but I get a ‘no auth’ warning. Same setup with CentOS and AD-LDAP.
Authentication log shows that I’m logged in, but as soon as I browse any device I get no auth everywhere. Then when I try and refresh I am forced to login again and then it starts all over with the no auth pages.
I checked communication between our AD server and Observium and I can’t find any issues or timeouts.

I finally got it to happen to me, so the network guys aren’t crazy. In my case I logged in, did a search pressed enter (rather than clicking on the result) and it reloaded the page. When I went back up to the search box to search again, the search box had a pop up that said, “session expired, please log in again!”. Does that mean the search box thought I wasn’t authenticated or would it be related to a cookie issue?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
I started to have an intermittent issue with users being forced to login when they browse the webpage. I have the timeout settings defined in php.ini:
session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 259200
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.cookie_httponly =
Socket timeouts are set to the following in php.ini:
default_socket_timeout = 259200
I did have a lifetime cookie set to 0 and socket_timeout to 14400. Users that had the issue had a cookie. My authentication mechanism is AD-LDAP. Any other advice on where to look to find out why users are being forced to login intermittently? I have had a hard time tracking this issue down since it is so intermittent.
Thanks,
Mike
