Hard to edit ticket with dial-in connection

Description

It seems the login status of this bug tracker is related to the current IP of the user. I'm using a dial-in connection at home, that hangs up after some seconds of no traffic. However, at a new dial-in I'm losing my logged-in status. Therefore it's quite annoying to edit a ticket in this situation. Since the IP usually changes with each dial-in, I came to the thought in the first sentence.

I know that this is a security method, but is there the possibility to do without this feature?

(Ok, of course I have a workaround by keeping the line up with continueous pings - but it's just a workaround.)

Unfortunately I don't think I can do anything about this. The authentication is provided by the web server, which I can't configure, so I can't remove the IP address relation.

There might be a way of using a different authentication system which relies on cookies, but I'm not sure.
