Logged in to nowhere

Hi Jason

Just bought the Bridge and the Extender so I think everything is up to date.

I have site where all I am trying to do (for now) is build a login .. to a specific page.

The wizard has built the table, the pages I defined and such. I look at the Access Pages Manager and the page access rule is when someone is logged on ..

In the registration form I enter a valid username and password and check the database and it is there.

I go to my login page and type the same username and password and voila it says logged in. And keeps me on the login page. When I try to just type in the URL for the one page I want to access I get a Mozilla warning about an infinite loop and it stops the process. Lots of things going on here.

Any direction or thoughts on where to go next? Session being saved properly? I have no idea (it is too simple to be this much work right?)

Thanks.

send me a copy of the page you are trying to protect and a copy of the page it is redirecting to if not logged in. I have a felling they are both using the same rule

Sorry .. the URL's or the code or screenshots/ Don't mean to sound dumb .. but what would you need?

Any chance of taking the request for more info off the grid as perhaps this isn't mine but a client site?

Update:
- I thought this might be a sessions pathway issue and called the hosting company .. no problems (tested on competitor software and worked)
- checked out both SecurityAssist videos on YouTube and confirmed the steps I have taken
- built another login page and set up on new site, deleted database and such

No change.

I log into the page and it stays right there.

Not sure what to do but beating my head against the desk is starting to hurt.

Help!

compress a copy of the login page, the protected page and the redirect page to a zip archive and attach the zip file so i can look at the code please.

Here it is .. thanks!

the page you sent is not restricted at all, but from the screen shot, i think you are using the wrong access rule.


You are using the logged into group access rule, but your login page seams to log into the pcms2_users table. you should be using the logged into pcms2_users rule instead.

Deleted everything and started again (table, files .. all new)

Defined the security against the user table and the group.

I don't understand why my login page has to be restricted (I mean should this be the one page that isn't?) .. but I tried both with and without .. no difference.

Attached are more screenshots and the two pages following the changes I made.

Do I need to go through authenticate user?

Thanks.
