mollify - issue #578

No logout possible after remote user single sign on


Posted on Dec 12, 2014 by Quick Ox

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. add .htaccess file with remote user indicated in require valid-user usera 2. change configuration.php addding "authentication_methods" => array("pw", "remote"), 3. create url prepending usera:usera@http://www.blahblah

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Once the remote user is automatically logged in, it is not possible to logout. For example, i would like to occassionally logout and log back in with an admin account to upload content

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest. Ubuntu 10.04

Please provide any additional information below.

Please disregard. I found a workaround that works for our implementation. Thanks!

It's not actually even meant to be there.

It's the web server that just passes the login information from some other part of the system, so if you want to logout or login as other person, you need to logout from that other place. Then when you get back to mollify page, it will recognize the new login.

Thanks ! What i ended up doing was creating a new link under our site's admin profile with mollify's admin credentials. Worked to our advantage also as the restricted user wont be able to logout mollify at all
