ProtoUser.autologinFunc and sessions

[Jeppe Nejsum Madsen]

Hi,

I'm trying to use ProtoUser.autoLoginFunc to automatically log in a user when running in dev mode. So I have this:

 def testUserLogin() {
    val testUser = User.find(4)
    testUser foreach {u =>
      logUserIn(u)
      info("Auto login for %s id is %s, session=%s".format(u, currentUserId, S.session))
    }
  }
 
 autologinFunc = if (Props.devMode) Full(testUserLogin) else Empty
 
And while this works, the method is called repeatedly (4 times for each request). It logs S.session as Empty even if a session has been created, and I believe this causes the logUserIn call to not register the user id in the session var?

I think maybe the autoLoginFunc is called early, before the session is set up. Any clues as to how this can be solved?

Hm, i've not looked at the code, but perhaps its memoizable? Either that, or perhaps the session is being torn down explicitly to avoid session fixation. 

Cheers, Tim

It is a regular SessionVar and there doesn't seem to be any explicit
session handling in the code path, but the autologinFunc seems to be
called early (when checking sitemap) which made me guess that might be
the reason...

So has anyone used autologinFunc successfully? If so please share :-)

Hi Jeppe,

the following code works for me on 2.3-RC3:

if (Props.devMode) autologinFunc = Full(autoLogin)


private def autoLogin() {
println("autoLogin\n\n\n")
val u = User.findUserByUserName("du...@altus-insight.de")
if (u.isDefined) {
logUserIn(u.get)
} else {
debug("could not find dummy user for auto login. please create user
du...@altus-insight.de")
}
}


The method autoLogin is called one time. If i do not call "logUserIn"
int this method, it is called several times.


I hope, this helps,

Helmut

Thanks for the update. I forgot to send an update to the list, but I
also got it to work at some point.

Not sure if it was fixed by updating to the latest 2.3-SNAPSHOT or
removing some code in our own impl of the User class (the stuff we
made is now in ProtoUser so it was obsolete, but may have interfered
with the use of autoLogin)
