No hacks are needed.

Protobit:
Thank you very much for that patch, HorsePunchKid.

It doesn't work for 2.1 out of the box, but I just edited the source manually, based on the information in the patch file.

P.S.: I too, would very much like to turn this feature off. I completely agree with openmotive, that the iPhone interface is practically useless, if you have to log in every time.


Protobit:

Could you post how you modified this code to work in 2.1 (and higher?) I am trying, and the system just hangs, now -- no page will load anymore! Thanks!!

Nothing is more frustrating than logging into something on the iPhone when all you need to do is check on a ticket or look up some contact information.

Lack of this ability is the only reason I very very very rarely use the iphone version. It's just too painful.

All respect for having a tight security model, but this is not banking software, neither are most of our customers potential hackers, so to be honest I'm not that worried about session highjacking.

IMO it should be possible to turn off that feature, at least if you're running the site in https as noone between the computers can sniff the sessions then

Don't get me wrong - i like that security has been addressed - i just find it really annoying because i use i somehow always manage to launch Active Collab from the wrong browser - and in addition the fact that when i go home and want to check i have to login in again..

This behavior is by design and is implemented the way it is for security reasons (mainly because of session hijacking). It cannot be turned off.
