[SM-USERS] External Login Not Completing Login

Tue, 16 Nov 2004 15:58:39 -0800

Hey guys.  I know the subject is fairly vague, but there’s no “short” way to describe my problem/question.

 

I am writing a script that will allow users to log-in to their webmail account from our front page.  So I have the form which submits to another script so that the login username can be formatted properly.  That formatting script then posts variables to the src/redirect.php script via cURL functions.

 

When I run my script, I get the error that I have to be logged-in in order to view that page.  I have looked at the true SM login form, and changed my variable names to those in the form fields (“login_username” and “secretkey”).  That did not work.  So could someone tell me where I’m going wrong?  I’m including some scripts below as well as other information:

 

n       IMAP/POP3 server

n       PHP 4.3

n       Apache Server

n       Linux OS

n       Installed by uploading & configuring config.php

n       SquirrelMail Latest build

n       No plugins

n       Error Message: You have to be logged in to view this page.

 

PHP email_login Script (Posts vars to redirect.php):

<?

$username = $_REQUEST['username'];

$pass = $_REQUEST['password'];

 

if($username != "domain_login"){

            $user = $username.'@domain.org';

}

else{

            $user = $username;

}

 

$url = "">

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://'.$url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "login_username=".$user."&secretkey=".$pass);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

?>

 

The $_REQUEST[‘’] gets the correct variables and all works, but it just won’t log me in.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.
