Solution for atmail custom logout with demo

[Silverbug]

if gadgetgal was to make the changes to logout.pl (or what ever the atmail logout page is) would brad be more likly to install it? so that we could you the cookie solution (in one of ggals previous attempts?) (brad if you out there, let us know your thoughts)

actually logout.pl is redirected to uti;s.pl fopr cleanup work before it returns to index.pl. The changes really need to be there so we could also trap the error messages when a user logs in incorrectly. Currentlyu you have the same problem with an error on login as on logout, atmail takes the user to the default login screen to show the error message.

yeah but we can check that page using xmlhttp for key sentances before we send the user to the page.

admittingly this slows the login process down a little but, its one way of doing stuff, and is how my change password script works on my custom login page.

I'm finding the same issues gadgetgal99! I have everything working GREAT... right up to the pass of to the parse.pl then KAHBLUEY!! Session Timeout!

I even went so far as downloading and installing the demo so I could look at the source... bingo. The atmail.pl page calls for the global.pl scripts in the \lib\ folder. This is where the sessionID Cookie is set... without that cookie, the authentication in the parse.pl page fails because it cannot find the sessionID cookie. I have tried everything to get that cookie set from IFrame, to including images, to "AddHeader" all the form variables... no luck.

I posted this on their forum but so far they are unwilling to respond. I am about to the point of giving up.

CHALLENGE: IF you can get the customlogin.htm to open atmail.pl and listen to it until it changes, perhaps there is a solution.

In otherwords...

custom.asp (form action {webserver}/atmail.pl)
Atmail.pl window (hidden) opens parse.pl
---
Then, parse.pl close
atmail.pl (redirect to index.pl?func=logout results in window close)
Closed window cause custom.asp to change to customlogout.asp.


or something like that.
