issue using ep_guest together with ep_hash_auth

[antonlinus]

i seem to have an issue with ep_guest when trying to access the /admin panel. when i type in the url i am rerouted to /admin/login but when i authenticate using the correct admin account credentials i still get a little red pop up saying Login Failed and i am again routed to /admin/login therefore stuck in a loop. checking the log, i can see „Successful authentication from IP XXXXX for user guest“ but no mention of a failed login by the admin user, neither in the standard log nor in the error log.
i can work around the issue by first authenticating as the admin user on a pad (after being auto authenticated as a guest) using the login button. afterwards i can access the admin panel normally without being routed to /admin/login.

any idea what could cause this? i have ep_hash_auth installed but i don't see why this should interfere with ep_guest in this way…
