Coldfusion 2016 Administrator - Multi Instance Login Bug

Working with CF2016 has been quite the adventure...

One major annoyance (bug) I have come across is being unable to manage multiple Administrator sites for separate instances running on the same server.

To reproduce this, open Chrome and browse in 1 tab to the Default Tomcat administrator area https://wt-cf2016-1:8443/CFIDE/administrator​ and login.

Next, open a second tab and browse to another instance running on the same box https://wt-cf2016-1:8601/CFIDE/administrator and don't login

Select your original tab from the first step and click on any menu link to the left.  You will be instantly logged out.

What is ironic about this, is that I can be logged in to the same instance multiple times in the same Chrome browser with the Allow concurrent login sessions for Administrator Console enabled...

Anyone have a work around for this?

    Please file a bug report for this issue on the Bug Tracker. Otherwise Adobe will never know (only a few members of the ColdFusion team actually monitor the forum, as it is really peer-to-peer support).

    You can paste a link to this forum post into the bug report if you'd like.

    Looks like loading the Admin login for another instance in a separate tab clears the CFAUTHORIZATION_cfadmin cookie :

    Cookies after logging into instance 1 on tab 1

    Cookies for instance 2 after opening admin login page on tab 2

    Cookies for instance 1 tab 1 after opening admin login page on instance 2 tab 2

    Adobe - please oh please - for the love of all things binary - fix this! : )
