[Phpip-support] Authentication Problems when migration PHPIP to IIS

[<Mar...@pr...>]

Hi there,

After migrating to IIS, I have been encountering problems with the
authentication levels after logging in.  On the IIS server, PHP is
configured to disallow global registers so I had to make a couple of changes
in lines 55-64 of results.php:

if (isset ($_POST['username']) && ($_POST['passwd']))
// they have just tried logging in
{
      //$valid_user = $username;
      $_SESSION['valid_user'] = $username;
      $_SESSION['auth_level'];
    }
    else
    {

With these alterations, I can login fine but neither the username is
displayed under "logged in as" nor are the authorization levels properly
set.  I seem to have only read access despite the fact that my user has
admin rights in the user table.  I think I also need to set some
Superglobals in user_auth_fns.php but I can't figure out how.  I've tried
making following changes in the functions login and check_valid_user:

function login($username, $password)
...
    	$GLOBALS['auth_level'];
    	$auth_level=$row[access_level];
    	$_SESSION['auth_level'];
...

function check_valid_user()
...

  $GLOBALS['valid_user'];
  if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user']))
  {
      echo "<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;Logged in:</b><i><font color=blue>
$valid_user</font></i>";
      echo "<br>";
      echo "<br>";
  }
  

However, after making these changes I can no longer login and get the error
"You do not appear to be logged on. This could be due to your Session timing
out."


Anyway if anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks,
Mark
