Log in Link Persists on 404 Pages Even After Logging In (Plone Classic UI)

[rohnsha0]

BUG/PROBLEM REPORT (OR OTHER COMMON ISSUE)

On 404 pages in Plone Classic UI, the "Log in" button persists even after the user has logged in.

What I did:

• Navigated to a non-existent page in Plone, triggering a 404 error page.
• Logged in to the Plone Classic UI.

However, when navigating to the site root, the user is logged in

What I expect to happen:

After logging in, the "Log in" button should change to reflect the authenticated state (e.g., display the username or a "Log out" option).

What actually happened:

• Even after logging in, the "Log in" button persists on 404 pages in the Plone Classic UI.
• This may cause confusion as it appears that the user is not logged in.

What version of Plone/ Addons I am using:

• Plone 6.1.0rc2.dev0 (6107)
• CMF 3.6
• Zope 5.12
• Python 3.11.11 (main, Dec 29 2024, 13:41:59) [GCC 14.2.1 20240910]
• PIL 11.0.0 (Pillow)
• WSGI: On
• Server: waitress 3.0.2

Per my comment, #4094 (comment), we should consider a redirect after login, either to the site root (my preference) or to the same 404 page.

After logging in, you can visit /404, and the Login link still displays, but should instead either be removed (my preference) or Logout displayed.

I agree with the given suggestion!

The redirection in the login view got fixed here #4094 ...
When using the login "modal" there is one more issue with the modal options: #4100

The persistend login link on "not found" pages is a complete different story, because this page template has no authentication information and therefore displays the "anon-tools" viewlet.

I understand.
But my question is, how a user will userstand that the login is a success? as there is no feedback!
However my question might be irrelevant, but just out of curiousity!
