You would be better off connecting the logout button to your sites own logout control or file, then add the following to also log you out of the forum:-

Session("USER") = ""
Session("PASSWORD") = ""

Great API! I say just: wow.

one modification has to be documentated. The "logout" button must be easy to configure with this API too. Depends on the self-login system, the logout button is not working by using the API for login control

Wow!  I'm impressed!

I'll still stick with WWF as the base as its more secure, but I am very impressed that you made it so simple.

Version 8 full is out now if you want to try this.

There is no documentation for this yet except nots in the 'functions/functions_member_API.asp' file, but it is so simple to use I doubt much more is needed.]]> Fri, 14 Apr 2006 16:24:27 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/bug-two-logons-required-for-admin_topic19265_post104228.html#104228 <![CDATA[Bug: Two Logons Required for Admin : Awesome :) ]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/bug-two-logons-required-for-admin_topic19265_post104227.html#104227 Author: djlurchg

I came up with a more simple way of building an existing member API yesterday, and it took me around 30 minutes to build and test this morning.

It would have been quicker but I wanted to add in error handling, and data checking.

The new 'Existing Member API' will be very simple to setup, you will have to set one variable in the file 'functions/functions_member_API.asp' to true:-

Const blnMemberAPI = True

Then in your own login system add the following two session variables:-

Session("USER") = Member_Username
Session("PASSWORD") = Member_Password

It's as simple as that, then when members log into your site they will also be logged into the forum, if an account doesn't exist for them in the forum one will be created. If their password changes in your login system it will also be updated when they go to the forum.

You may also want to disable new user registration in the forum to prevent users by passing your own login system

Of course this new API relies on the security of your own login system which may not be as secure as that used in Web Wiz Forums.

The API has been built to make it as simple as possible to setup, and I don't think you can get much simpler than that.

Well, hopefully the API coming soon will help you with the hook-in.  I too am looking forward to the API.

And, as far as hooking in, its always easier to replace a less secure login system with a more secure one than the other way around.  Why?  Because the more secure one is more complex.

I know security is a pain, but unfortunately there are people out there who will steal or destroy what you have if its not locked down.

I don't like having to login twice myself, but I'll do it so my website is more secure.  I've spent years building my site up, and I would be very angry and depressed is something happened to it due to someone breaking in.  So I'll live with the security.

borg,

The reason I chose WWF years ago was because it was
A) Written in ASP, which I knew quite well
B) Priced competetively
C) Easy to hook in to so I could integrate with other applications
D) A mature, stable product, with the right feature set.

Reason C is now gone, which is disappointing.

I can understand your frustration, I have to deal with the same thing. I've had to put up with several telephone calls and emails form forum members this week because they can't understand that they now need to log in twice to the site instead of just once like before. I've now spent 4 of the last 5 days on this project.

Do you feel like I've been out of line or unprofessional in any way?
