Start the server, go to http://localhost:8080, sign in with open id.
Create a test file.

Log out and got to the same server, but using an IP address, or machine name
http://127.0.0.1:8080
http://mymachinename:8080

Login with the same open id user and you get a different workspace, the test file is not there.  The URL used to get to the server is tied in with the login account and different addresses result in different users.

I am not able to reproduce this bug. Things work perfectly fine and the same workspace is loaded whether I am using localhost or machine name or IP address as long as I am using the same login account. Can you please check again?

This is reproducible. Gosia, feel free to take over the bug when you are back.

This is caused by Google OpenId "feature". Whenever you log in from a different domain (string-based comparison) Google assigns you a different identifier, see this:

I'm not sure, but I think other OpenId providers return the same identifier even for different domains. I'm not sure how we could handle this.
Maybe always translating the domain to IP? But IP may change as well.

Open ID is no longer supported. There's an all new workflow for the supported login flows.
