[Mediawiki-l] Timeout after one hour when editing an article with non-permanent login [8411]

Sat Dec 9 13:13:06 UTC 2006

Hello,

when I am logged in non-permanently on MediaWiki 1.6.8 (with LDAP-Auth and
PageProtecion) and edit an article for over one hour (e.g. start editing, go to
a meeting and leave the window unchanged, come back and finish article or also
if I spend one hour with pure writing and editing the article) I receive the
error-message that I am currently not logged on, when I want to save the
article. Logging in again with the given link as well as navigating with the
browser's back-button, flushes the cache (maybe because of the disablecache() in
PageProtection) without saving my changes. So my work of at least one hour is
deleted.

I don't know why MediaWiki has a timeout with runs out after one hour and I also
don't know how to configure this value.

Does anybody know, which parameter is reasonable for this behavior?

Thank you in advance,

kind regards,

Frank
