Auto stop impersonate when new impersonate occur

Hi guys,

I have a list of users that i can impersonate that is basically a bunch of anchors with href like "DWExtranetSecondaryUserSelector=<ID>".

When i start to impersonate some user i still can select the others. The issue is when i use "DWExtranetSecondaryUserSelector=<ID>" when i'm impersonating the feature not always works. It seems that the DW try to see if the impersonated user can impersonate this user and do not allow it.

To fix this i need to stop the impersonation (DwExtranetRemoveSecondaryUser=1) and then go to select the new user i want.

Is this the right behaviour? Shouldn't the system always impersonate the main user?

Thanks,

BR,

António Ramos

Hi António,

Nowadays the ability is not provided, we have to stop current impersonation to apply new one, the feature will be implemented with new TFS 25846 created, planned release of the fix - 891.

Thanks.

Hi Oleg,

I noticed that this feature was not published in 8.9.1.

Can you tell me when it's due? We have a website to go live in a month or so and we were waiting on it, to avoid developing a workaround if we don't need to.

Hi Nuno

It is - it was just not on the public list. And it is not even a code change, but simply a template update. See attached new template.

Hi NIcolai,

First of all, thank you. I tried rerunning the updates but did not get the templates updated.

Anyhow I tried with the template you provided, but did not work as I expected. http://www.screencast.com/t/fP0DJqmn

And I tracked down why. We are using the impersonation mode to "Replace current user with impersonated user" (which is what we do with 100% of our implementations of this feature). When I switched to "Only tag orders with impersonating user" it worked

Can you repro the problem?

Best Regards,

Nuno

Hi Nuno,

I've tested 891:

1. The new template can be get via rerunning the updates successfully, uploaded template is the same as one provided by Nicolai. Number of the updates.xml.aspx should not be higher than 966 (I've used 960). Place of the template - /Templates/UserManagement/Login (keep it in your mind if you use specific design uses Extranet module)

2. Yup, the second issue is reproduced, I've created new TFS 28538 to fix it urgent and provide with nearest hotfix. If template will be changed only then I'll upload it here directly.

Thanks

Hi Oleg,

1. I tested this again and using 8.9.1, and having templates upgrades enabled, this did not work for me. Another thing is that based on the update log, the folder was file C:\Domains\Sites\crazyharry.dw-demo.com\Files\Templates\UserManagement\Login\LoginWithImpersonation.html. It would have made sense to be in Extranet.

2. Great, thanks.

Best Regards,
