#159 closed Bug (fixed)

Circular logout problem

Description

When a not-logged-in user goes to /admin/logout/, they get a login form. When they subsequently log in, they're logged out again. This is probably not desirable behavior; it's very confusing when it happens.

I'm not sure what the correct behavior would be: probably say that the user is already logged out instead of showing a login form, though (with a link to the login form, which could just be /admin/).

Don't know when it was re-introduced, but tested using r16730 and this problem exists.

To recreate:

1. Log into the admin.

2. Log out of the admin.

You should see a special logout screen that says "Thanks for spending some quality time with the Web site today." Notice that the URL is still set to /admin/logout/.

3. Refresh browser.

You will now get the normal admin login screen. Notice that the url is still set to /admin/logout/.

4. Log back into the admin.

Notice that you are sent to the "Thanks for spending some quality time with the Web site today." screen.

ashchristopher, I can confirm the same behaviour in Django 1.3 . Are you on this bug now? If so, can you claim it?

Not on it yet. Already working on ticket. Will claim in the future if not already claimed.

Patch looks okay, but how about just redirecting to admin:index when the user does not have perms and is on admin:logout?

Sorry - not quite sure I understand what you mean.

In https://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/159/ticket159.diff in contrib/admin/sites.py:193 you set the REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME in extra_context, I propose return a HttpResponseRedirect to admin:index, which will then handle the login part anyway.

Patch looks good: has working tests and does what it says on the tin.
