Re: [VuFind-General] Login but no logout

[Belanger, A. <art...@ya...>]

Hi Michael.

We have seen this too.  The problem appears to be in the Logout.php script in ../web/services/MyResearch.  The userinfo cookie was not being expired properly.  I resolved the problem by changing the line

 setcookie('userinfo', null, time()-1, '/');

to

 setcookie('userinfo', null, time()-1, $configArray['Site']['path']);

I also added the following lines to destroy the php session (deleting the session file on the server) and to expire the PHPSESSID cookie:

Session_destroy();
setcookie('PHPSESSID', null, time()-1, '/');

I don't know the "official mechanism" for reporting bugs or fixes so I hope this helps.

Subject: [VuFind-General] Login but no logout

Hi all,

I've hit a curious problem with the trunk version of VuFind. We can use
the login function, but once someone has logged in ... they can't log
out again. The only way to logout is to go to the cookies in the browser
and manually delete them. I've tried this when logging in via LDAP, and
via the database itself, and I've seen the same behaviour both times.

I assumed it was a bug, but was curious that it doesn't already seem to
have been reported, so wanted to check whether anyone else is seeing
this behaviour?

Michael.
