 Topic: Firefox not saving sessions
Posted: 27 August 2008 at 9:44pm |
|
Firefox is having problems saving sessions. Anytime I try and submit information (like changing profile) it acts like I haven't logged in and shows this message:
Error
Only members with sufficient permission can access this page.
Then when I try and log in again I get this error:
Error: Un-Successful Login
Your login was un-successful due to a session tracking error.
Please ensure that cookies are enabled on your web browser and you are not hiding or masking your IP address.
Cookies are enabled and there is no IP masking. I saw this similar error in the forums search. However, there is a difference from that person's post. The SID is being displayed in the URL on each of these error pages. I have also tried setting const blnDatabaseHeldSessions = True. This still doesn't work. However, in IE no such problem exists.
Please help, I cannot have users who use Firefox unable to use these forums.

There should be no issue with Friefox. We use it as our default browser here in the office, so web wiz forums is tested more in Firefox than any other browser.
You should make sure that Javascript is enabled in Firefox and that you are not using any plugins that may affect cookies, javascript, or block actions within the browser.

It may also be a case of having to clear ALL the cookies and private data in your Firefox browser - what version are your running? Are there ticks as follows?

Yes that isn't the problem but I've got a new slew of problems since I integrated AD into it. But I am doing a fresh install again since I played with some stuff to try and fix it, I'll be posting them later once I can get the original errors to come back up after going through the steps outlined in the mod readme.

I wish you had mentioned AD in your original post as the information provided would be completely different to that given above.
If you have enabled the Active Directory integration in Web Wiz Forums then how you are logged in and stay logged in is completely different to the standard installation.
You should make sure that anonymous access to the website is disabled so all users have to login through their Active Directory login.
You should also ensure that you are running the latest release which fixes some issues with editing forum profiles, however with active directory integration enabled you should edit profiles through the admin area.

That original post I made was prior to be integrating into AD, that's why I said it's not an issue anymore. I got all the stuff working, I only have one question.
Is there anyway to change the domain for internet explorer? Or achieve single sign on between my intranet and the forums? Everything works fine in Firefox, but in IE when the login auth comes up there is no domainname\ in the username, and if I just put in my username like I do in firefox, it won't accept it. After doing this the auth login comes back up again this time in the format of DNS\username which also doesn't work. Only if I manually type in the correct domain name will it log me in. I tried using basic over SSL in IIS like we do for our intranet, but then that gives an error. In the functions_windows_auth file I do have the correct domain name, but it seems like IE wants to use the DNS the forums are on as the domain name by default.

The Windows login when you browse the site is out of the control of the Web Wiz Forums software and is something controlled by the OS, IIS, and your browser.
You should contact Microsoft support about how best to login to a web site using Active Directory.
