Steps to reproduce

1. Login via URL on your nextcloud instance e.g. https://cloud.mycompany.com
2. Save a URL as a bookmark of a room/call e.g. https://cloud.mycompany.com/index.php/call/znq3okmr
3. Close the browser completely (all tabs etc.)
4. Open the browser and the the url of your login instance e.g. https://cloud.mycompany.com => Now your are logged in => That's ok!
5. Close the browser completely (all tabs etc.)
6. Open the browser and click on the bookmark (yes it sounds crazy but it must be a bookmark - paste the URl will work) - repeat this speed 3 or 4 times if necessary

Expected behaviour

The room/call should be opened and the user is still logged in without any dialog

Actual behaviour

• A dialog occurs: Please enter your name (in NC 29 and NC 30).

Additional info

• Info 1: If you now close the browser after the login dialog occurs and open it again and enter your url https://cloud.mycompany.com you always need to login

• Info 2: We just updated last week from 28 one instance to 29 and another instance to 30 (Latest patch level). In 28 and before it works many years without any problem.

• Info 3: This doesn't happens if you first login, let the browser open and then click on the bookmark

• Info 4: I can share a video if necessary.

Server log (data/nextcloud.log)

I will post it if this is really necessary. Please give me an info if you need it.

Hi, thanks for the report!
Could you clarify if:

• that happens on another pages (not only Talk, but Files or another app)?
• which browser are you using?
• just to be sure, it's not incognito mode?

I'm asking because it sounds like a server-side issue with browser sessions, which are mostly reproducible on Chrome

[Speed7811]

Hey @Antreesy,

I just changed the description - please see again: It must be a bookmark (thats crazy but I can reproduced it on NC 29 and NC 30 with two browsers).

1. I will test it with other pages within the next hours
2. Browser is Chrome and Opera (latest version).
3. Yes, I'm sure it's not incognito mode

[Speed7811]

Hey,

i just tested it e.g. with files and it is the same behavior too. Whenever I open a NC url via Bookmark I need to login. Therefore it looks like it is not a spreed thing. Where is the best location to report it? https://github.com/nextcloud/server?

[Speed7811]

I created a new issue on the server side (See here: nextcloud/server#49968). I think with issue can be closed because it is not Spreed related.

[Antreesy]

We could have just transfer it to the server repository, but that way is also fine. Thanks for double checking!
