[wp-testers] changing backend without having to log in?

Tue Apr 6 20:55:40 UTC 2010

This is regarding the changing backend without having to login. I'm
probably stating something you already know, but here goes nothing, in
2.9.2 If your sub-blog is on an entirely different domain you will
have to login again, there's no way around it because the cookie
doesn't transfer between top level domains. This would also be the
case for 3.0 MS. If it's a subdomain or a subfolder that is not the
case and there would indeed be a bug.

Hope this helps.
