Assumed Users Disappearing

[brupptech]

Hello, Any help would be appreciated. I give authorization to my other computers by using the Assumed User feature. I created different user accounts, and give them access by IP Address. This has worked fine for me for quite awhile. Recently, however, I went into the Assumed Users and find that some of them disappeared (the bottom half). The user accounts were still there, just IP Address we missing. I imported the users back in, figuring this was a one time deal, but it happened again today. Wingate is still running fine for the IP addresses that are still in there. Any help would be great. THANKS!

I haven't seen that before. What version of WinGate are you running?

[brupptech]

I am using version 6.0.3

Ok, that narrows down on source code to look through, thank you. But looking at that, I cannot pin down anything that will strip IPs off Assumptions by IP. Do you know of any system changes / setup / UI actions at the time?

Well there really hasn't been any system changes or setup changes. I mainly just use this machine for wingate. One thing however, is that sometimes wingate is not releasing a session. For example, if I go from www.yahoo.com to www.google.com to www.excite.com, then go to the activity tab in wingate, it says that i am connected to all three of these sites. To fix it, i just stop and start the wingate engine. This has happened about 5 or 6 times, and both times the assumed users were dropped this happened. Sorry, i should have included that in the first post. Thanks for your help!!!

That sounds interesting. When the sessions do become stuck like that can you delete the sessions from GateKeeper?

PS

It is quite normal for sessions to remain in GateKeeper for HTTP.

This is because most browsers keep the connection to the proxy or server open for a while even after pages are downloaded, for performance reasons - it's called Connection: Keepalive.
