#3073 auth_type signon - odd behaviour at ex- and importing.

[Hans Meiser]

after switching to auth_type signon (like described here http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Auth_types\) we notice odd behavour of phpmyadmin at ex- and importing sql-files.
uncompressed sql exporting is only possible if $cfg['MemoryLimit'] is set to huge values. with compression it works in more cases.

at importing behaviour is at follows: if i use firefox and small sql files a aja-message is shown: "The file being uploaded is probably larger than the maximum allowed size or this is a known bug in webkit based (Safari, Google Chrome, Arora etc.) browsers."
But neither i am using a browser with webkitengine nor my upload-limits are reached.
if i use regular auth_type http all is working fine.
in support forum we could not find a solution: https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/forums/forum/72909/topic/3777936

we use apache 2.2.10 and php 5.2.12 as common mod_php
i hope someone will have a look at it

Thanks,
Hnas

i was able to reproduce the bug. the cause seems to be located in the signonsession handling, f.e. config.inc.php:

$cfg['Servers'][1]['auth_type'] = 'signon';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['SignonSession'] = 'ssessionserver1';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['SignonURL'] = 'loginscript.php';

$cfg['Servers'][6]['auth_type'] = 'signon';
$cfg['Servers'][6]['SignonSession'] = 'ssessionserver6';
$cfg['Servers'][6]['SignonURL'] = 'loginscript.php';

i createt the PMA session for ssessionserver6 and cannot import a file via importscript, the ajax error is:

"The file being uploaded is probably larger than the maximum allowed size or this is a known bug in webkit based (Safari, Google Chrome, Arora etc.) browsers."

Yes, no need to add a reminder for each version. This bug is not marked as being fixed.
