Security Assist - Adding Session Values impossible

Hi Chaps,

I've always had a bit of an issue with Security Assist where adding Session Values is very hit and miss.

I am using the Authenticate User behaviour and I refer to the Session Values tab.

By clicking the + icon I get a list of the fields in the table that is being used for authentication but no matter how persistent I am I just cannot select one to commit it to the table.

I've tried 79 times now (yes, I counted) but it just doesn't work.

Sorry!

Cheers
Ian

I'm not able to reproduce the problem that you describe, What is your OS and What version of Dreamweaver are you using?

Testing in Mac OSX 10.6.8 With DW CS5.5, I am not able to reproduce.

Hi Jason,

10.7.4 and CS6.

I used to have a problem with CS5.5 but eventually it would work. I think it was Ray who once said that the dreamweaver control was very temperamental in an old post and that an alternative would be sought in future releases?

Cheers :-)

Yes, I just talked to Ray, and he is aware of the problem, we will need to look into using a different control to fix the issue. it will p[robably take a couple of weeks for a fix to be released for this one.

in the mean time, you can work around it by manually editing the code. in the login page, you will see code similar to this that sets the session variables:

"sessionColumns" => explode($WA_Auth_Separator,"UserID"),

    "sessionNames" => explode($WA_Auth_Separator,"SecurityAssist_UserID"),

you can add another session variable by editing that code:

"sessionColumns" => explode($WA_Auth_Separator,"UserID",$WA_Auth_Separator,"ColumnName",$WA_Auth_Separator),

    "sessionNames" => explode($WA_Auth_Separator,"SecurityAssist_UserID",$WA_Auth_Separator,"SessionName",$WA_Auth_Separator),

Thats fine Jason, thanks for the update and workaround.

Cheers
Ian

you're welcome.
