Hey forum,

Just want some insight before I proceed to initiate an auto log in feature for my site. I will be using the API for this, however I have a question. When the cookie is return, what do I then do. I assume I must place the cookie in the browser via my code and this will allow the forum to login in the user. Is this correct? Thanks

Which API are you using?

There are two API's, the HTTP XML API or the Member Login API.

The API will return the information required to construct and set a cookie in your own code which will then auto log the user in to your forum.

Been a long time for a follow up question, been busy. Anyhow...

What values should I use. I was using all and it did not log in the user.

<Username>sahil42</Username>

<CookieData>sahil4u-61DE-996-DB34-A2DA</CookieData>

<CookiePath>/</CookiePath><CookieDomain/><ForumPath>http://forums.xxxxx.com/</ForumPath>

</Record>

</ResultData>

</ApiResponse>

Additionally, I was using a similiar Vb.net code to place the cookie in the browser.

Response.Cookies.Remove("XXXXX")

Response.Cookies("XXXXX").Value = AppSettings("CookieBlockSL").ToString + read.GetString(2).Trim

Response.Cookies("XXXXX").Expires = DateTime.Today.AddYears(10)

From the information you have back you need to create a cookie with the name:-

wwf10sLID

This cookie needs to have the cookie key UID with the CookieData:-

UID=sahil4u-61DE-996-DB34-A2DA
