I'm using ost 1.9.8 in Linux, apache.
To clone a new OST installation for testing, i just restored OST data into a NEW database using backup SQL file.
For the ost_config.php, i updated the database connection details to point to the new database.
For the secret key, i purposely made some changes and randomize it again.
However, i found that i still can use the previous agent login ID and SAME password to login to the new installation.
It seems weird to me but i don't understand why i can.
Anyone can explain to me please?
