ckfinder wont recognize role?

Hi everyone, if somebody could help with this please.

I am trying to incorporate ckeditor and ckfinder to an Asp.Net Mvc 1 project. SO far everything is working fine. The only thing I cann't get to work right is the Access Control for ckfinder.

For what I understand, in the file ckfinder/config.ascx, the variable string RoleSessionVar is used to assign the role to be restricted. The default value is:

RoleSessionVar = "CKFinder_UserRole";

Re: ckfinder wont recognize role?

Make sure you're assigning a value to a session variable: Session[ "CKFinder_UserRole" ]

Session[ "CKFinder_UserRole" ] = "Administrators";

In the configuration file you should define permissions for all roles ("*") and for "Administrators". For example something like this should work fine:

      AccessControl acl = AccessControl.Add();
      acl.Role = "*";
      acl.ResourceType = "*";
      acl.Folder = "/";

      acl.FolderView = true;
      acl.FolderCreate = true;
      acl.FolderRename = true;
      acl.FolderDelete = false; // deny

      acl.FileView = true;
      acl.FileUpload = true;
      acl.FileRename = true;
      acl.FileDelete = false; // deny

      AccessControl acl = AccessControl.Add();
      acl.Role = "Administrators";
      acl.ResourceType = "*";
      acl.Folder = "/";

      acl.FolderView = true;
      acl.FolderCreate = true;
      acl.FolderRename = true;
      acl.FolderDelete = true;

      acl.FileView = true;
      acl.FileUpload = true;
      acl.FileRename = true;
      acl.FileDelete = true;
