The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

It depends on the version of Sympa you're using.
It looks like the old Sympa behaviour regarding non SSL web access, where session was renewed on each request (causing occasionnaly sessions to break when an eaction implied more than one HTTP request).
Maybe, with your particular setting, Sympa considers itself in non SSL context (which may be the case, if transactions between your proxy and the sympa server are non SSL). If, for some reason, there are more than one exchange between the two server for one HTTP query, then you will lose your sessions. The solution would be to upgrade to the latest stable 6.1 version.

Showing us the Sympa logs when you access the web interface woulde certainly put some light on your problem.

Cheers,

David

Here is what I have.  Sympa running under nginx with the following lines in sympa.conf

http_host https://sympa.andrews.edu
domain    sympa.andrews.edu
wwsympa_url https://sympa.andrews.edu/wws

and in wwsympa.conf:

cookie_domain sympa.andrews.edu

I can log in and it shows that I am a listmaster, but when I click on Sympa_admin it takes me back to the login screen endlessly.

We don't use a reverse proxy for sympa, but I suspect your issue is going to be cookie domains. For the hostname that users use, to access the sympa server, set cookie_domain in the wwsympa.conf or robot.conf. We have to do this because we have many robot domains all pointing to the same Sympa server, and need their auth cookies to be kept separate. Eg, if your sympa server is mysympa.subdom.andrews.edu But your reverse proxy hides it as www.andrews.edu/sympa Then set the options cookie_domain www.andrews.edu http_host www.andrews.edu host www.andrews.edu wwsympa_url http://www.andrews.edu/sympa Steve Steve Shipway address@concealed
