Hello,

I have recently encountered a problem with automatic logouts within a child portal for every role except the host role (including portal admin).  This only occurs when using a third party module that utilizes ajax for functionality.  When a user navigates to the page with the third party module, the user gets logged out as soon as they try to navigate to another page.  This only occurs in child portals and does not seem to effect the core modules included with DNN.

I have been able to implement a workaround by adding all child portal users into the parent portal.  By doing this, it seems to solve the problem.  This, however, is not a good long term fix for moving forward with my solution.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone have an recommendations for correcting the issue?

I am using DNN 4.3.7.

Any thoughts or recommendations are most appreciated as this issue is preventing me from moving my portal solution into a production state.

There used to be a similar problem with ASP.Net 2.0 validation controls. The scripts for these controls used a .axd extension. However, the links did not include the portal ID so when DNN attempted to resolve the portal it failed and DNN logged out the user. This problem was fixed, however I just looked at the source code for DNN (4.3.6) and it will authenticate for .aspx or .asmx pages. Since this is an AJAX module, my best guess is that it’s using a web service with a .asmx extension and isn’t passing the portal ID with the request.

The fact that host accounts and members of the main portal aren’t logged out is consistent with the behavior I saw with the .axd extensions. Host accounts are valid with any portal so authentication always passes. DNN defaults to the main portal so members of this portal wouldn’t be logged out.

To fix this you’ll probably have to have the 3rd party module developer include the portalID in the request for the .asmx web service. Or you could modify the OnAuthenticateRequest method in the DNNMembershipModule.vb module to exclude the 3rd-party .asmx web service.

For the long term, it would be nice if DotNetNuke added a section to the web.config so you could specify exclusion filters to URLs that should not do authentication.
