I'm integrating a DotNetNuke site with WebWiz so that when a user logs on to DNN, they are automatically logged on to WebWiz.

When the user logs in, I am use the HttpXmlApi to retrieve the login cookie data, and attaching it to the Request.Response.Cookies collection. This functionality is working correctly, and I have verified that after logging in, a cookie with name wwf10sLID is present with a value in format

NS=0&UID=testuser101-7A5E-961-124F-5D84. This mimics what happens when the user actually logs in directly to the forum.

Both the forum and the DNN site share the same domain, so the cookie should be accessible by both sites.

However when I navigate to the forum after logging in to DNN, the forum does not show the user as logged in, as I would expect.

Have I missed something here? 

Help appreciated with this.

Regards,

Not sure what cookie prefix you have given your forum, but the default is 'wwf10' not 'wwf10sLID'.

The cookie prefix is configured as wwf10, but the authentication cookie (as far as I am aware) has the name wwf10sLID. Is that not the case?

What I did was to log on to the forum normally, and inspect the login cookie. I then programmatically create a similar cookie using data retrieved from the HttpXmlApi and attach it to the response, when the user logs in to DNN.

It's OK, I have solved the problem. Thanks.
