Can not log in using PC at workPosted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 7:30 am    Post subject: Can not log in using PC at work

Hi
I've found that I can not log in at all using the computer at work while I can login fine using my computer at home. Network at work is using a proxy.
Please advise what can I do.
Thanks

Maybe your proxy is not allowing cookies, if so and if you are using the guest sessions mod, you may not be able to log-in.

Can not log in using PC at workPosted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:21 am    Post subject: Re: Can not log in using PC at work

I am talking about my own forum not the current one here. The network at my work is using a proxy, does there is any thing that could be done in my machine at work or at the forum files settings or edit any files to enable or disable any thing to let it work.
Thanks

Yes, I understood that, if it's phpBB2 (as the forum where you posted is suggesting) it's as a said, you may need cookies with the guest session mod.

If it's with phpBB3 (oh well it's possible isn't it Wink), then, it could as well be because the ua is filtered by the proxy, or because it is jumping among several ips, depending on your security settings in phpBB3's acp, it could explain as well.

Can not log in using PC at workPosted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 11:43 am    Post subject: Re: Can not log in using PC at work

Really ... could it be possible with phpbb 3.0.1?
I can give you my log in details to the acp to do what you may need to let it work and access to ftp as well to try to edit what does it may takes.
So please let's try to let it work because I need it very very much.
Thanks

So it's phpBB3 ? topic moved Wink

And yes, look at the security settings in ACP (Security settings), they are not hard to understand, by default ip and browser are checked to validate sessions, so it's possible that your proxy does not transmit the User Agent things likes that.

Do you mean:

  • Session IP validation: Set to non
  • Validate browser: set to no

Do you mean this settings? or you was talking about something else?
Thanks and best regards Very Happy

That's less safe, but yes, it should circunmvent the proxy issue.

You could try to only bypass these for a given account, the one requiring the trick, could lower the risk.

To do this you could add :

Code:
if ($user->data['user_id'] == 2) {
   $config['ip_check'] = 0;
   $config['browser_check'] = 0;
}


after :
Code:
$config = $cache->obtain_config();


in common.php, and keep them on in acp.
Just replace the 2 with the id of the account that need the trick, should work.

Thanks for your reply mate. Please just to make sure that I've understand and got you right, you mean to enable the options I've disabled above in the acp, and to just do this edit in the file common.php?
Also another thing, suppose that there is more then one user complaning this issue, shall I separate the user id with a comma (,) or (Wink ?
Please advise.
Thanks and best regards.

Do you mean the file
Code:
/public_html/forum/common.php
?
I can not find any thing from the code you told me about above.
I am using 3.0.1 Rolling Eyes
I've forgot to tell you that I've integrated drupal with phpbb3 and nothing wrong at home regarding log-in but it is just at work.

So the code will be like this
Code:
// Grab global variables, re-cache if necessary
$config = $cache->obtain_config();
if ($user->data['user_id'] == 2) {
   $config['ip_check'] = 0;
   $config['browser_check'] = 0;
}

yes, assuming that the user which should be able to bypass these checks is the one with id = 2.

You can change it to match the user id you wish to use at work Wink

If there is any other members have the same problem, shall I separate their IDs with a Comma ( , ) OR ( ; ) ?
Or I should add a new line?
Thanks and much appreciated.

Code:
// Grab global variables, re-cache if necessary
$config = $cache->obtain_config();
$special_users = array(2,3,5);
if (in_array($user->data['user_id'], $special_users)) {
   $config['ip_check'] = 0;
   $config['browser_check'] = 0;
}


Should then do.
you can add as many id as you want in the $special_users array (coma separated list) :
Code:
$special_users = array(2,3,5);
