I can't get this extension to work correctly. I'm adding the Security Provider Executor behavior and choosing Custom Login form. I select my form and fields, and push ok, but the only thing that happens is a javascript is added to my page. Nothing is added to my form tag, and therefore the form doesn't work. It doesn't do anything, at all. Please Help.

Hello Tony,
Unfortunately your explanation does not tell us everything. What exactly do you mean by: "Nothing is added to my form tag"? What do you expect to be added there?
Did you check our tutorial how to setup the login/out/restrict actions on your page?

Yeah, so my form looks like this, and does nothing when I click submit. I was expecting that when I applied the enforcer with custom form that the extension would add whatever was needed to make this form work. When I used to use the old MM authentication, this is what would happen. It would create an action for the form. This form doesn't do anything, at all.


<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post">
<p>
<label for="textfield">Text Field:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield">
</p>
<p>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password">
</p>
<p>
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>

Have you created a server action file for log in / out ? Have you created login executor which runs on form submit?

I have tried many different ways with the login/out. I did not create a login executor on submit. How would I know to do that? I watched many videos and looked at the "manual" but never mentions creating a login executor on submit. How do I do that?

Are you using database users or static entered ones?

I need to be using database users. But I have tried making it work with single users also, with no luck.

then you somehow missed this tutorial: www.dmxzone.com/go/32338/filtering-a-database-query-using-the-identity-of-the-logged-in-user
Check it please, even if you do not need to filter a query.

I missed it because it's called "Filtering a Database Query Using the Identity of the Logged In User" and that's not what I was trying to do. You should rename the video.

What if I want to use just a single login with no database?

Did the video i sent help you to build your login form?

www.dmxzone.com/go/32338/filtering-a-database-query-using-the-identity-of-the-logged-in-user

I have watched this video no less than 20 times, read the step by step and I still cant get it to work at all. I even changed the behaviors to show a pop up message on success and on fail... NOTHING WORKS. When I took out the secret key on Security Provider Properties - went directly to the action file and made it blank... I could at least get an on error to finally pop up. I just purchased the year subscription and have wasted 3 weeks trying to get these to work. Any help would be great.

Hi Oliver,
It would be good if you send us a link, where we can check your page.

Here's my at a feeble attempt. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.

You didn't save the server action file after making additional changes, but I daresay you did when you tried before.

I expect the problem is that you didn't click the 'link to file' button - this appears in Server Connect, when Security Provider: (yourProvider) is selected. This creates a new file which is required - I don't know why this step appears to be optional.

Hi Raymond,

The issue there is that you should not define a security provider executor. Everything is done now through server connect.
Please check this video: www.dmxzone.com/go/32338/filtering-a-database-query-using-the-identity-of-the-logged-in-user/ as it describes how to setup the login.
