PowerCMS, PowerMessenger & SecurityAssist

I have a website that uses PowerMessenger and PowerCMS. The issue I am having is that if someone logs onto their profile using PowerMessenger this also gives them access to the PowerCMS backend. I have tried renaming all instances of the session variable $_SESSION['AdminLogin'] to $_SESSION['PMAdminLogin'] in the powermessanger application, but it still allows me to access the PowerCMS admin area if I am logged on to my profile in PowerMessenger?

You must have missed a spot. You should be able to rename the session variable for one or the other, and then create two separate rules in the helpergroupsrules.php file for SecurityAssist. Then you can refer to the two separate rules when restricting access to the two groups.

Didn't work. I think it must have something to do with:

case "Administrator":
$comparisons[0] = array(TRUE, "".((isset($_SESSION['AdminLogin']))?$_SESSION['AdminLogin']:"") ."", 1, "".((isset($GLOBALS['CMS_WAGLOBAL_Admin_Password']))?$GLOBALS['CMS_WAGLOBAL_Admin_Password']:"admin") ."");
$comparisons[1] = array(TRUE, "".((isset($_SESSION['CMSUserGroupID']))?$_SESSION['CMSUserGroupID']:"") ."", 1, "1");
break;

I changed the $GLOBALS['WAGLOBAL_Admin_Password'] to $GLOBALS['CMS_WAGLOBAL_Admin_Password'] and now client logins can't access it anymore which is good, but the super admin login fails now. I can still log in with other users though.

You probably would have to keep the global variable name what it was. I think you would only update the Session variable. At this point I'd use echo() or die() statements to write the session and global variable values you are comparing and see if they have the values you expect them to.
