The client admins are accessing our site from a VPN/outbound proxy. Their IP address can change during the session and they are continually getting logged-out.
I see libraries/Session.php.fetch_session_data() expects the IP address to remain the same.
How can I accommodate the changing IP addresses?

Can you switch to cookies only?

Thanks for the assist, Kernon.
Moe - Try setting Require IP Address and User Agent for Login? to No in the Security and Session Preferences.

What exactly does setting Require IP Address and User Agent for Login? to No going to do? The session is still created using the ip address and, up further testing, the user is logged out when the ip changes.
Client’s security standard will not allow Cookies only for admin sessions. I need another option.
Just out of curiosity—CI has a sess_match_ip config setting to disable ip address matching. It appears this has been overriden in EE - why so?

Hi Moe,
Cookies Only is probably going to be your best bet given the limitations of the VPN. What in particular is the issue with going the cookies-only route?
