[TYPO3-dev] FE-user becomes someone else

[Christopher Lörken]

Hi Bart,

did you manage to find the problem?

Some months ago we had the same issue and I know for sure that it was 
neither related to caching nor to any proxies that where used. Our users 
even had different IP addresses and the IPlock did not help.
We found out that the user switch occurred while switching languages 
(e.g. from &L=1 to &L=0) so we mapped the different language versions to 
different domains and did not see the problem again.

Still I'd like to see if there is any explanation to this...

Regards,
Christopher
