login from external site

Posted by Community Admin on 29-Apr-2011 00:00

Is it possible to login to Sitefinity from an external site? I created a basic html page with a form to post to the Sitefinity login page and redirect to the page maintenance page but it isn't logging in.

Here's the code:

<html>
<body>
<form id="aspnetForm" action="localhost/.../Login method="post" target="_blank">

  <input name="LoginFormControl$Password" id="LoginFormControl_Password" type="hidden" value="password" />
  <input name="LoginFormControl$UserName" id="LoginFormControl_UserName" type="hidden" value="admin" />
  <input name="LoginFormControl$hiddenSubmitButton" id="LoginFormControl_hiddenSubmitButton" type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

The console application you provided works if the user isn't currently logged in but not if a user is already logged in.

If you press y to "Do you want to logout the other user", it says try again.

Any ideas? I'm using version 4.1 fresh install. I haven't done anything to it.

Cheers.

Hi Brian,

What is the response that returns inside InvokeWebMethod?

Kind regards,

the logout method returns true and the subsequent InvokeWebMethod call returns 9. If i go to the site in the browser and try to login it says that a user is still logged in. So the logout doesn't appear to be working even though it is returning true.
