all of those worked fine for me, and the forums page did not say I was logged in. However, I was logged in at progress.o.o, but not at bugzilla.o.o nor at connect.o.o.
For clarification - while you can use the same account everywhere, we have two separate login servers[1] running, and these two don't share login sessions or cookies AFAIK.
a) Services running in Nuremberg (progress.o.o, connect.o.o, wikis etc.) use login2.opensuse.org as login proxy. You can recognize these services by their DNS entries (pointing to login2.o.o):
# host connect.opensuse.org connect.opensuse.org is an alias for login2.opensuse.org. login2.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.161 login2.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::161
(As a sidenote - I'm surprised that progress.o.o and connect.o.o disagreed about your login status - they should see the same.)
b) Services running in Provo (buzgilla and forums) use a different set of login proxies.
A DNS query will give you an IP in the 130.57.66.* range (at least for the services I just checked) for services running in Provo.
This means depending on the services you want to use, you might have to login twice - and ironically we still call this single sign-on ;-) [1] technically it's more than one server/VM at each location, but from the outside view, "server" describes it good enough
It's happened at least twice since my last thread mention. It seems that the Provo connection is by far the quicker to timeout, and maybe the only one to timeout, and without any communication of same to Nuremberg. Timeout notifications on forums.o.o seem to be difficult to encounter. If I think to do a refresh on any BZ page requiring login (e.g. saved search) before opening the ?goto=newpost email link, then all works as expected. The problem is there's no simple way to keep up with how long any of these pages have been open and might have timed out. The login servers need some TLC, as this these email links always used to work. My guess is this has to do with cross-site URL blocking built into Necko or mozilla-n*, links between suse.com or novell.com and opensuse.org that shouldn't be exposed to user agents. FWIW, I can't remember having to screw around with cookies anywhere in many years - except for on *.o.o pages. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
