I'm having trouble with Wolverhampton Univerity's Library and Wolf Intranet as I keep having to re enter my id and password every 20 minutes or so. The system tells me I need to activate Browser Authentication so that this is done automatically. How does one do this in Opera?

I'm on Windows 8.1. and as for browser authentication I've no idea that's why I'm asking the question in the first place! If you don't know then I fear you can't help

http://www.wlv.ac.uk/about-us/governance/legal-information/cookies/ , you will find some Wolverhampton cookies (visitor, athens, ti, oaid, oaid_*) that are used to "keep track of whether you have authenticated to use our electronic resources". The sessionid3045 and lastaccesstime3045 cookies contain session id and a session-timer/re-login functionality. If something is interfering either with the cookies being set or being renewed as needed, then that may be causing a 're-authentication' issue. I was unable to find any Wolverhampton online materials that specified "acceptable" browser brands/versions for interacting with their site, but it might also be worth contacting their IT department somehow to explore that.
