Pressing ctrl+f5 doesn't change the behavior. Creating a new Windows user on my remote Windows laptop doesn't change the behavior. Changing to a different browser doesn't change anything.

I'm running Calibre on 3 different computers: 2 on Windows 11 and 1 on Linux Mint. The Linux machine is running the Calibre content server via a service at boot time. Both Windows machines are running the Calibre UI (with the content server enabled) via a StartUp shortcut, with the Windows user auto-logged in at boot time. Each computer uses a different port. The ports are forwarded at the router. I use a free domain name service to reach the router over the internet.

EDIT: only the Windows 11 machines exhibit this behavior. They are running the Calibre UI. The Linux machine running the explicit content server, always prompts for login. Sorry for the confusion.

I am trying to log on remotely. No matter which port I use, I am never requested to log on. I'm already logged in and can't change to a different user. All three machines have the same user/password combinations. I've even tried using a VPN through a US location (I'm in a different country at the moment).

When I use an iPad running Safari, I am always prompted to log in, regardless of which port I use. That means, I suspect, it's a problem with my laptop (also running Windows 11), but a hard reboot doesn't change anything.


EDIT: Safari has the same behavior, sorry. Only the Linux machine always requires log in. Now I'm thinking this is a bug in the Calibre UI version of the content server.
