#4428 (ok 4.2.2) Token Mismatch when creating users

[Ryan G]

We have an odd bug that is only affecting us whenever we try to create a user.

We can do any number of actions in PMA, but if we try to create a user we get the error "Error: Token mismatch" and are stuck with that until we logout/login. We can modify user permissions, passwords, etc, but cannot initiate a new user creation.

Auth_type is 'cookie', if that matters.

session.save_path is set properly and the path is properly permissioned.

Any clue as to what might cause this? I saw another Bug report for Token Mismatch, but they said it was affecting anything after a long period of idle, this is very specifically once we try to create a user.

I won't be upset if you merge/close this bug if it is too much like #3893, I just don't know if the issues are stemming from the same root cause.

I'm getting a similar issue with v4.2.2 - I can log in, go to user management, try to add a user and get a 'Token Mismatch' error in response. One thing of note - this appears to happen for me when administering a MySQL instance running on a different server to the one where phpMyAdmin is installed.

Ryan G,
did you try with our current, 4.2.2 version?

David S, I am not able to reproduce, even with a MySQL instance running on a different server than the web server where phpMyAdmin runs.

[Ryan G]

I have not, I will work on upgrading and see if it persists.

[Peter Arien]

Same problem occurred here twice, each time after an upgrade. Happened also with the latest upgrade to 4.2.2. The problem disappeared after I removed everything the browser remembered about the host where phpMyAdmin was running (cookies, cache, history).

[Ryan G]

My issue persists through clearing of cache, cookies and history.

Not able to reproduce the bug in v4.2.2

Okay, marking as fixed.
