Question:

If a user logs into Vault on another tab of the browser, the previous tab receives an invalid session error.  How can multiple tabs be used in Vault? 

Answer:

Logging into Vault a second time using the same browser causes the first sessions token to become invalid.

If a user needs to have multiple tabs open in Vault, it is important to not go to the login page on the second tab and log in again. Doing so refreshes the session token and causes the original tab to become invalid. There are two options to use multiple tabs in Vault:

• Right-click on the original tab and choose Duplicate Tab, if that option is available on the Browser.
• Copy the URL of the original tab and paste it into a new tab.

Either of these solutions allows the user to work within Vault on multiple tabs.
