Problem with several users behind same proxy

If you a using one single computer for all you’re students it could be a cookie issue. Every student has to log out before the next logs in. Just closing the browser the last user could still be logged in if it hasent gone if I remember it right 3 days.

If the remember me checkbox is set the user is remembered for 30 days.

??

Thanx for the reply...

But; No, all students have their own computers!

Strange. I have used Php-Fusion in a local intranet behind a router with no problem before. The server had one static ip and the clients had dynamic ip addresses (192.168.1.1/254). In the fusions main setting I had set the host url to the servers ip address.

I have hosted the site on a server on the "outside", and all the students have to go through a proxy to connect to Internet...

This is a interesting question. Doesn't PHP-fusion feel good about a lot of users with the same ip? Is IP critical for a user session?

I did some more tests...

When I created a new user from home and logged in with that user from my wifes computer, at the same time as I logged in with my "regular" user from my own computer, everything worked just fine!

Both users shows up with the same IP so the IP doesn't seem to be the problem!

But I'm still puzzled that it doesn't work from school! Is there anybody out there that have a possible explanation and solution!

Best rgrds,

I cant find anything in the fusion code that involves ip in the login process other that it also checks the blacklist settings. The only way for me to simulate the same ip is to use one computer with different browser like IE and Firefox and i cant find any problem.

The only thing i can think of is that you try emptying the Cookie cache on the computers in the school and try again.

Take a look at the maincore.php to see hove the login together with the cookie setting works.

Now I'm pretty sure it has to do with the proxy!

But it also seems like a "security" problem with/in PHP-fusion!

I did another test where I logged on at this forum (www.php-fusion.co.uk) with my user, then I logged out! After I logged out I borrowed a computer from a colleague that never have been on this site and on that computer I could still see my username in the "profile"-box...

Fortunately it didn't seem like I could do anything from his computer on my account! I was redirected to the page saying that "you have to be logged in..."!

But if there are several users with accounts behind the proxy it seems like they can see each others accounts! And I suppose that there could be users out there that work in the same organisation, with a proxy similar to ours, and maybe log on here and if they then can see each others accounts it seems like a security problem!

A REALLY long time ago (probably long purged from the forum) Digitanium or perhaps Rayxen helped me out with a cache issue i had from work with a really weird cache proxy issue. If i logged in i wasn't really logged in until i pressed F5.

I don't remember the details but it had to do with headers in maincore.php Maybe someone remembers it...worth a try...

Fetloser seems to have a point here. Try Ctrl F5 for a complete reload of the page it seems to be different from just F5 to see if it is a cache issue.

Hi again!

I tested Fetloser's suggested code snippet in maincore.php and it worked very well!

There are no problems with the different users seeing each others information!

Thanx for the help!!!

amazing, i thought it was a longshot at best :D
