• Authentication Problems

    By Chris Baumann 2 decades ago

    Hello,

    I've been having authentication issues with the forum. I used IE 6 and Opera to register users, but I never could login with them. ACL settings seem to be okay, since some of the users work perfectly.



    I've had another effect, that sometimes after a reload, the @username became anonymous, thus appearing logged off. After another refresh, the user was authenticated again. This happend in the main forum screen.



    I put this on high severity as it basically keeps users from trying to evaluate/ use the forum…



    If you think I have some ill settings in my internet options , please advise. Thanks very much for the efforts you put in, the forum in general seems to be quite advanced alredy.

    • We just tried the template and found the same issues - unable to get any users above Anonymous access

      We have followed the rollout steps and then registered a few users with the appropriate settings, e.g. Member role. When we visit the site in a browser (IE 6.0x) the following shows on the main screen:

      > Your Forum Roles : Anonymous

      > Attachfiles : No

      > Postnew thread : No

      > Post replies : No

      > Post Polls : No

      > Forum hidden from Anonymous : No



      Any tips for getting past this?
