OTRS has been killing me lately with it kicking me out with a message saying
Invalid "SessionID Invalid!". It has happened when traveling and using my
laptop on a WiFi network but it usually happens on my iPhone when I'm NOT on
a WiFi network, either Edge or 3G.

The way it works is this: I log in and view the Queue. I might be able to
zoom in on a ticket, but sometimes I get kicked out when I click Zoom. If I
log back in, I get to see the zoomed ticket. Then I click "Empty Answer" to
reply. I get kicked out. I log back in and I go to the Compose screen. I
type my response, I click send and I get kicked out. I can log back in but
my response has been lost.


We have OTRS 1.3 installed, is there a way to config OTRS to use cookies or
something that will prevent these crazy "SessionID Invalid!" messages?


Please.

...maybe you should have a look at the Config.pm/SysConfig-key
"SessionCheckRemoteIP". I don't know if it's already available in 1.3
but your symptoms describe pretty much what this param causes for some
dial-up connections.

I don't see anything in /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm about the Session so I
guess what you're describing is only in newer OTRSs.

Anyone other help? Thanks.

But never edit Default.pm. If you want to change a default setting,
copy it to Config.pm and then set your preference. Or even better:
change it through SysConfig if available. OTRS 1.3 is pretty old by
the way.

I know. We once went to 2.x and my users hated it so we quickly went back.
I know that some day we need to try it again.

What would I look for in Defaults.pm? Thank you.

the same as mentioned above: "SessionCheckRemoteIP". If you find it,
make a similar entry in Config.pm but set the value to "0".
