We've encountered the same problem before, we used email as user name too but that's not the problem. The thing is the user's identity is created in session alone the way before he arrives the login page. How's that happened, any page uses identity will cause an empty identity object to be created.
Our solution is on entering the login page, we remove the identity from session. That way, the identity will be created again, and according the the cookie on the login page, the rememberMe property will be set properly.
Shane Bryzak,is this a bug?
Or,is there any grace solution for this?
I am joining this question, and adding: is there already a support for autologin
?
Thanks,
Guy.
should I file an issue in JIRA for this?
I thing one of us will eventually have to report this issue as a bug... ;-)
By all means report this in JIRA, but make sure to include a reproducible test case. I haven't been able to reproduce any of the behaviour described in this thread so far in my own personal tests.
