SSO Example Not Working

[Liam Hicks]

Hi,

 

Using the SSO example provided here: 

 

I'm getting a random string of characters e.g. '7a63e65db1164d4b5e7824e12fc97f64'.

 

I'm using a Laravel install, with the forums folder placed in the '/public' directory. I've created a test.php file in the '/public' directory which has the following in it:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

/* Require the init.php file from the Community Suite root directory */
require '/home/forge/mysite.com/public/forums/init.php';

/* Initiate the session to verify who this user is */
\IPS\Session\Front::i();

/* Print the user's name */
print \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name;
print \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->email;

If I move my test.php file inside the forums folder, I'm able to get the name and email correctly.

Any thoughts on why I cannot get the details when they're outside the forums folder?

Hi,

 

This is none of those things - it's a question specifically related to an example that you yourselves provide as documentation.

1.  I guess that's the hash for the "Guest" langstring;)
2. Have you set the cookie domain and path in your IPS installation? My guess is that the IPS cookie is set for www.yourdomain.com/forums.
Pls see https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/configuration-options/using-constantsphp-r25/ for further information how to set the cookie domain

I would suggest to also take a look at https://invisioncommunity.com/4docs/advanced-usage/development/single-sign-on-sso-r98/
