[opencms-dev] Disappearing nav links...[Scanned]

[Jon Mayes]

All,

 

I'm still having a problem with this... For example if I log in as
'Director', browse through the site pages, log out, log in again as a
different user (e.g. "Sales"), then when I browse to sections I've
already visited, the login element still shows that I'm logged in as
'Director', and the links within the site still reflect this (as certain
folders are restricted access).

 

Here's the code for my login element:

 

<code>

<%@ page session="false"
import="java.util.*,org.opencms.jsp.*,org.opencms.file.*" %>

<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>

<%

//get the required OpenCms Object

    CmsJspActionElement cms   = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext,
request, response);

    CmsObject cmso              = cms.getCmsObject();

 

    //variables to catch the parameters from the request

    String username             = "";

    String password             = "";

    String action               = request.getParameter("action");

    String requestedResource      =
request.getParameter("requestedResource");

 

    //catch the parameters if the user is trying to log in

    if ( "login".equals(action) ) {

    username = request.getParameter("username");

            password = request.getParameter("password");

 

        //log in the user

        cmso.loginWebUser(username, password);

                        //out.println(cms.link(requestedResource));

                        response.sendRedirect(cms.link("/test2"));

                        

} else if ( "logout".equals(action) ) {

            request.getSession().invalidate();

            cmso.loginUser("Guest","");

            response.sendRedirect(cms.link("/test2"));

} else if (cms.user("name") != null && !"".equals(cms.user("name")) &&
!"guest".equals(cms.user("name").toLowerCase())) {

%>

<div class="login_element">      

<form method="post">

Logged in as: <b><%= cms.user("name") %></b><br/>

<input type=hidden name=action value="logout"><input type=submit
value="Logout">

</form>

</div>

<%

    } else {

%>

<div class="login_element">

<form method="post">

<input name="username" size="15" value="<%=username!=null?username:""
%>"><br/>

<input name="password" size="15" type="password"><br/>

<input type="submit" value="Login"></td><td><input type="hidden"
name="action" value="login"><br/>

</form>

</div>

<% } %>

</code>

 

I feel that this is a problem with caching, but should I be setting
something different in the page properties, or in the code?

 

*scratches head* :)

Hi guys,

 

I'm using the webuser function to authenticate users for certain areas
of an intranet. I have an interesting problem whereby sometimes after
logging a webuser in, the links that are not shown to unauthenticated
users sometimes disappear when browsing through pages after logging in.
Presumably this is due to a previously cached version of the page being
used, but do you think this is an issue with the browser or is there
some caching setting that I should change within opencms to prevent this
from happening?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon
