FrontEndUsers - Logging via IP or Cookie?

Post by rmakings »

Hi -

Just curious as to how the FrontEndUsers module tracks logins.  Here's the reason behind my question:

If I log in to my CMSMS site as "usera" from my corporate network, EVERYONE on that network is now logged in as "usera".  I'm just trying to figure out how exactly this is happening!  The first thing that pops to mind is that the module is tracking logins via IP addresses - but that didn't seem logical - so I was hoping to get some verification of that.

Otherwise - it must be some cooky network setting where we're all sharing cookies?!?

Thanks!

it uses sessions..... I recently (last night) fixed this bug.  as the session was not necessarily being created, in the next day or two I'll cut a new release of feusers.

this also seems like it could be a problem with the UserID module as well, feusers was originally based on UserID
