User ID and ProtectedPages Not Working

[thorntma]

I'm a new CMSMS user, so I have all the latest versions.  I am trying to make some pages available only to logged in members, and I am still able to access these private pages when I am not logged in.

On my homepage template, I have this:
{cms_module module="userid"}
I am able to log in and log out successfully, from what I can tell.

In my private page template, I have this:
{cms_module module="protectedpages" allow_groups="member" hide_info="1"}
And I am still able to access the page.

I am pretty sure that I have just missed something or am doing something wrong, but I cannot seem to figure out what.  I hope that someone can help.

Well, the UserID and protected pages modules are fairly old.  and have some serious sessioning bugs. 

The CustomContent, and FrontEndUsers modules are the replacements.

FrontEndUsers allows you to specify different properties (age, sex, location, name, etc) for users, and associate those properties to groups, as well as to specify some simple password policies, etc.

CustomContent allows you to have different content for different users on the same page.  Or it can be applied to an entire content area.

Lots of people have had success with these two modules, and they have proven to be stable.
