Hi Adrian

In the latest DW10 - 10.17, if a page have permissions and the current visitor is either not logged in or does not have access to the page, they are automatically redirected to the first page in the website using the new login module - aka UserAuthentication app.

So if you add a page with the login module, and setup permissions, you should be ready to go.

Hi Nicolai, 

Thank you.  A few questions then:
1. Is 10.17 already available?

2. What happens if I need to have a few public pages and the rest of the site protected? Is there any way to create a redirect to Login if a page is protected? Or set up a generic Login without messing up the Swift V2 master template?

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Nicolai,

Please disregard my 2nd point. I re-read the response, and you have already answered it.

Adrian

Sorry - it is out in 10.16.

You can see all releases here: https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/fundamentals/dw10release/releasenotes/changelog.html and on Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Dynamicweb#versions-body-tab

Hi Nicolai,

Thank you,

I am running on DW 10.16.5, and I could not see the new Apps. I suppose I need to search for them and install?

Thank you,
Adrian

The new user modules are behind feature flag:

The Authenticate app is described here:
https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/implementing/content/apps/users/index.html

If I try to use the Authentication module combined with a Permission set at Website level, it ends up in a series of redirects and crashes.

I have also mentioned in another post (https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/swift/swift-2-existing-solution?PID=1605) another issue related to setting up permissions at website level

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Adrian

We will look into it. But did you give permissions to see the login page? If you have set the permissions at website level - that would include the page with the login. So you need to allow anonymous access to that page.

I will take a look at the code and ensure that DW will not go into infinite loop and maybe provide an error message instead.

Hi Nicolai,

That's not the point.
If I protect the website, in Visual Editor the ProductRelated pages are not displaying any content.
The login issue is a different matter and maybe it can resolved by granting explicit permissions to it for anonymous users. That would probably take care of the redirects. But the Context issue will still remain.
