Multi siteaccess - clear session cookie on registration

Wednesday 08 September 2010 2:32:21 pm

Hello,

I'm building a site with 2 siteaccess.
Each one uses a different user class.

The problem I'm facing is that when a person goes from one registration to the other, something is cached in the session cookie, both registration forms end up using the same user class.
Is there any configuration I can set that will remove/timeout the session cookie when a person navigates to the registration page of another siteaccess?

I do see some session settings in the site.ini documentation, though I'm not sure which would work.
Alternatively, is there something in the form of a template operator/function I can call on the template to clear the cookie?

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

We had the exact same problem. There is no ini setting for that. The only solution is to replace session variable "RegisterUserID" with something like "RegisterUserID_".$user_class_id so it will be different for different siteaccess. To do that you need to hack the user/register.php or make custom module with original register.php changed.

Cheers

The default is disabled (its written to your siteaccess during setup) at least for frontend siteaccesses in flow / webin.

Additionally you'll need SessionNameHandler=custom so that above setting actually does anything.

Thank you very much André and Ivo.
The session config solution works.

[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom
SessionNamePerSiteAccess=enabled
SessionNamePrefix=something_
Using a different prefix for each siteaccess of course. (in case anyone else is looking at this)
In addition to these settings, when logged in from one siteaccess, other siteaccess sees the user as logged in as well.
(this was one of my concerns, because I have 2 more siteaccess to control the languages)

Tested under Ez Publis 4.3.0, PHP 5.2.8
