Bram,

Thanks for the follow up.  (I realized I did not CC the list on my prior
reply).

I am using XMLUI.

The ticket you shared with me pointed me
to org.dspace.app.xmlui.utils.AuthenticationUtil.

Looking at that class, it seems that the following session variables
control the behavior that I am describing.

   - dspace.request.resume
   - dspace.request.interrupted

It appears that these variables are only reset once the resume action has
taken place.

In order to resolve my issue, I would need to find some mechanism to clear
these variables if a user navigates away from the authentication page
without logging into the system.

I presume that this would not be a trivial change.

My hope is that most users will complete the login and will not witness the
behavior that I described.  I may be encountering this scenario frequently
because of the testing that I am currently performing.

Terry
