Dear friends,
I have come across an issue regarding the single sign-on (SSO) used throughout the Cisco website and CSC that starts to be increasingly annoying:
Would it be possible to correct this behavior? I've lost quite some time rewriting my lost answers.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I wanted to give you a quick update on the two issues.
First Issue:
We are currently working on a long term and short fix for this issue. Unfortunately the long term solution will be a drawn out effort as we move all our legacy content into our new data center farm. The team is currently testing the short term fix, will keep you posted on the progress as I get more details.
Second Issue:
We are currently doing root cause analysis for this issue and I will provide you updates weekly on this issue as we roll out the fix.
Thanks a lot again for you continued support and patience.
Sudheer.

Hi Peter,
We are looking into this issue. Can you provide some info for us to replicate this issue?
1) Which browser you were using and version.
2) Cisco url's that you browsed in the second tab.
Thanks a lot for you support.
Sudheer.

Hello,
This is just a test - please ignore.

Hello,
Another test - please ignore as well. Just testing whether it wreaks havoc again.
Change 1, 1.1
Change 2, 2.1

Hello Sudheer,
Thank you for your response.
So far, I have been able to confirm and reliably reproduce the first complaint: the SSO does not actually work seamlessly across different Cisco website sections. I am using Firefox 3.6.13 both on Windows and Linux and the behavior is consistent under both operating systems. I have not yet verified other browsers. The sequence of steps is as follows (assume that my CCO account is associated with a Cisco partner):
Thus, even though I logged in in the first step, I need to re-login in the Step 5.
I have not been so far able to reliably reproduce the second part of my complaint - that after logging in the Step 5, the current session in the CSC is invalidated. I will keep on doing experiments to find out how to trigger this issue.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the details. I was able to reproduce the issue on my machine. I will provide an update on this issue by end of this week. If you are able to reproduce the second issue,could you please note down the time and page you are on, it will help us in troubleshooting.
Thanks again for you support and patience.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

Hello Sudheer,
I have found out a reliable means to reproduce the second part of the issue.
I will gladly provide you with additional data (visited pages, dates) but as this issue can be 100% reproduced by following the described sequence of steps, I am not including these data right now.
I guess that there are more URLs similar to the one suggested in the Step 2 that will result in the same issue.
Best regards,
Peter

Hello Peter,
my personal workaround for this issue is to use two different browsers:
I started to use Google chrome to access CSC and to use Firefox to look for documentation in CCO.
Actually I started this practice when many mounths ago I was not able to login to CSC with Firefox.
the single sign on is also a problem in some other cases, like when you need to log in with a different (customer) account to CCO for job.
In this latter case the use of two different browsers is a need.
Best Regards
Giuseppe

Hello Giuseppe,
Thank you very much for joining this discussion!
I am sure your workaround is effective. I guess, though, that when these issues are resolved, it will be more convenient even for you to use just a single browser for all necessary tasks. One thing I am trying to avoid is having duplicate (and disparate) sets of settings, bookmarks, etc. in two distinct browsers.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delay in responding, as I was paternity leave last week.
For issue #2, we have coded a potential fix for this issue, and we are currently in the process of testing it. If testing goes well, it will then need to go through a review and (if nothing goes wrong) should be available in our next release. I will keep you posted as we reach different milestones and determine a release date for this bug.
Thanks,
Sudheer.
