Sessions problem

scandog

Hi,

I have created a webportal on a private network for a client, and everything is working just great.

A problem that I have run into is with sessions. I set a session variable to true if a login in is successful. At the top of each page I check for that variable, and if it is not set then it displays that you are not authorized to view that page. Simple enough.

The problem I have is on one of the pages there is a link to open up the web interface for Exchange server. Seems fine opens window user logs in checks his mail etc. When he logs out of exchange and goes back to the webportal he gets the not authorized screen.

If I open up the exchange web interface from a browser not from the link it is fine.

How is Exchange closing my php sessions. Aren't they totaly differnet systems asp and php.

I am very puzzled by this

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks

i'dont have an answer... but i had problems with session-handling before and usually i've found the error quite fast with some debugging code. First, look what's in the request - then check what's in the session...

print_r($_REQUEST); # Prints all the values from post, get AND cookies (including your php-session-id)

print_r($_SESSION); # Show everything that's in the current session

Now you should check what's happening to your session / request values when you open up the exchange website. First of all you should check if the php session param is still there.

If that gives you no clue you should check the cookie-directory of your browser before and after accessing the exchange page. After all sessions are nothing more than cookies & some values stored in an array on the serverside...

Hope that helps,
