ExtranetLogin randomly getting logged out

Hi.

After using the API call (Dynamicweb.Security ExtranetLogin(string, string)) to log in, some users get logged out at random times.

We are using a custom notification subscriber that logs the browser into a special account if the parameters are correct, not the module.

I have noticed that if im logged in with another user before i use the API to log in it resets, after som time, back to the first account.

Are we missing a call or using the wrong one ?

var sec = new Dynamicweb.Security();

sec.ExtranetLogin(user.UserName, secretPassword);

Thanks

Henning

Hi Henning

It looks right - we do the exact same thing...

Logout only happens if the session resets.

When you login using a form, it might submit some additional parameters like save username and password. So if your custom login times out, the login will fall back to the saved username and password. I think that must be it.

Thanks Nicolai, that seems probable.

I dont really know what my options are, should i save the login info for the custom thing in a cookie and read it in the pageloaded subscriber to log them in again?

That is my best bet - if that is your desired behavior - set a validation timespan on the cookie that makes sense.
