Not sure what the correct subject should be here... but figured this might get attention 8-)
Okay, I've been trying to setup an auto-login script (i'm in a single sign-on enviro). I have my users setup properly in the UBB DB. If I go through all the login pages using UBB everything works fine. When I go through my login script (behind the scenes) I can get to the first page (whichever, start_page, ubbthreads, etc) with no probs, full auth. But any other page thereafter will not authenticate the user.
After much time going through all the UBB login code, and initial pages, and debugging, I've discovered that the reason the subsequent pages don't work is that the cookies are being dropped.
Now here is the interesting part, if I go through my login script after a POST from another page, everything works fine and persists the cookies on all pages.
So it looks like the login script works, but the cookies are wiped out unless I do a POST from a previous page.
Is there something I just don't know about how PHP or UBB is handling cookies? Please help!!!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
