Topic: Remote login.php POST

I'm trying to setup PunBB as an external app for Oracle Portal - I've set:

Login URL: http://myforumpath/login.php?action=in
User Name: req_username
Password: req_password

Auth Type: POST

Additional Fields:

form_sent = 1
redirect_url = index.php
login = Login

When I try it, the page reloads itself an no action is taken - I'm guessing maybe there is a cookie check going on I am not accounting for? Do I need to edit the login.php or some other other page to allow remote POST?

Your thoughts on making this work are appreciated.

Re: Remote login.php POST

It sets a cookie and redirects the user to index.php
You'd have to take a look at the traffic between your browser and the app to see where the issue is

Edit: You wouldn't happen to use IE, would you?

Re: Remote login.php POST

Hmm dumb mistake - was invoking code that passed the wrong form variables in a related package.

For anyone that cares (and future reference) the default External Applications portlet works perfectly with the variables indicated in the parent post.

Thanks for the replies.
