Topic: [SOLVED] FA from mobile requires constant login

I installed FA in a shared host (bluehost, through one-click install). It works beautifully from both firefox and chrome from a desktop or laptop.

But if I open it from mobile (I've only tested android so far), whether chrome or firefox, it keeps asking to login in between steps of any given transaction (no matter if I check the box to request a desktop version). So this will become the workflow to check outstanding work orders:

  • login

  • click manufacturing tab

  • login

  • cick outstanding work orders

  • login

and to invoice something against an existing sales delivery:

  • login

  • click invoice against sales delivery

  • login

  • ...

What do I need to do in order to access FA from mobile without that much hassle?

Re: [SOLVED] FA from mobile requires constant login

Mobile phones in some ISP environments (most?) tend to provide an IP change for each bunch of submissions..... Some el-cheapo mobiles also change their MAC Address for each session!

There has been atleast one post in this forum where you can disable IP address change protection for your specific need. Bluehost's version of FA is pretty old. Install from latest Git v2.3.35+.

If you try it from native browser.  Other than chrome and Firefox it works fine.  You can check it.

Re: [SOLVED] FA from mobile requires constant login

There are quite a few mobile brands (like some LAVA, Lenovo, no name brand ones) that have a flaw in their Android OS which provides a different Mac ID for each session. This is at the OS layer and has nothing to do with the browser per se.
