Hey guys, 

I'm running an Enterprise MW 1.30 on RHEL7 with CA Policy Agent on Apache as 
the enterprise access control and I'm having the exact problem that has been 
described here [1] as the "First Save Bug" with the extension: Auth-Remoteuser 
[0]. 

Fortunately, someone presented a workaround work around for a known issue, 
however, that issue is from the mid-2000's and I'm not having any luck 
contacting the original posters about the workaround solution they described as:

Try adding:
```
if( !isset( $_COOKIE[session_name()] )  ) { User::SetupSession(); } ``` in 
front of the $wg->isLoggedIn() and see if that helps.
(presumably in the mediawiki file "User.php")

I'm eager to solve this issue I'm having [2] and think this might be a 
solution, but I could use some expert insight in where to modify MW1.30 user.php

Thanks!
-Rich
