Subject:

module wiping out needed helper cookies

We have a wrapper system that provides authentication. It runs on an apache level. We cannot alter it. The system provides cookies which this module wipes out each time because they are unrecognized. The solution as I see it would be to either have an ignore list or have a list of cookies that this module manages. From the looks of it I don't see an easy way to subclass this module to easily fix the problem. Would it be possible to provide this as a feature in this module?

Hmm this is surprising, because we also use a cookie based authentication system, and its cookies are not wiped out by LFB. I know this is unlikely to be possible, but would you be able to send me an example of your authentication cookie, including the domain/expires/path/secure settings? If anything, the domain/path might help. To be honest, the ExtJS handling of cookies for state is a bit of a black box to me, I just flicked the switch on the feature. However this means it's also easy for you to disable them locally, at least to confirm the bad interaction. Look for a file called list.tt in your LFB installation, and comment out the first little bit which mentions Ext.state.Manager.setProvider. Please do let me know how you get on, regards, oliver.

Hi, I've not heard much about this issue in some time so I assume it's the local application, unless I get a reply otherwise. Also if this is still a problem, I need to know whether it's an issue with Catalyst::Plugin::HashedCookies or Catalyst::Plugin::AutoCRUD. I seem to have lost along the way which module your error report was raised against. Feel free to remain silent if you are no longer bothered by this issue. -- regards, oliver.

The project which had the issue was with a company I'm no longer with and the issue was too long ago for me to remember the details. you're ok to close if you like. Todd
