This flag identifies you by recognising the IP address you connect from
I really dislike this flag in
TWikiDotCfg. It is enabled on
TWikiDotOrg, and it causes me issues when I connect from behind the same Network Address Translator as another
TWikiDotOrg user.
I've ended up with the wrong
WebLeftBar, and often have to repeatedly authenticate.
It unnecessary and archeic, especially now that we have
TedPavlic's cookie-based
SessionPlugin which is
BetterThandoRememberRemoteUser. I assert that cookies are a reasonable system requirement and we ought to refrain from recommending use of this flag.
