[support] webserver_auth

[Metzler, David]

I'd check session/cookie settings to make sure you understand how long these sessions are supposed to last.  It's possible that you're drupal session is outlasting your browser session. Also, verify that this behavior exists even after you explicitly click the logout link in drupal (that should eliminate this as a problem). 
 
webserver_auth doesn't do anything if the user is already logged into drupal, and the default drupal install often leaves you logged in across browser sessions. (Depending on your php.ini settings of course).

Subject: [support] webserver_auth


I am using the webserver_auth module with drupal 6.12 / Apache 2.2 in a windows 2003 server
to take advantage of the NTLM and Active Directory in windows and automatically sign in the 
user when they access our local intranet site.

I look at the phpinfo.php page and it knows each different user when I take
a look at _SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] and REMOTE_USER 

The weird thing is that when I access the site it knows me 'user20'.
But when user1 access the site it recognizes 'user1'
but when 'user2' or 'user3' or any other user after that access the intranet site, 
it logs other users as 'user1'
I go back and access the intranet site and it still knows me as 'user20'

I have not done anything special to tell drupal that 'user20' is special.

I do not understand, I had this working last month and then I re-installed the module and 
it is not working now.

PHP knows who the user is but Drupal automatically sign on users as the first 'user1'

The only differences between user20 and any other user is that user20 is the main admin user
but why does it treats all other users as the same user?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Néstor :-)
