I am having some issues with logging in

I want all users to log in to view the database.

In my config.ini I have this:

[_auth]

users_table=users

username_column=username

password_column=password

require_login=yes

When I have this set, I get this from my firefox web browser:

Redirect Loop

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

When I take the requre_login=yes out, it does not give the error but it does not give me a place to log in either.

Can someone give me some direction to diagnose this issue?

Perhaps a problem with the require_login directive. Instead of using require_login, add a getPermissions() method to your application delegate class:

Code: Select all

function getPermissions(&$record0{     $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();     if ( $auth->isLoggedIn() ){          return Dataface_PermissionsTool::ALL();     }     else {         return Dataface_PermissionsTool::NO_ACCESS();     } }
