The file browser is disabled for security reasons. Please co

Hello,

I'm having the following problem:

When I want to browse the Directory's as I want to choose an image from the server,
i get the following error:

The file browser is disabled for security reasons. Please contact your system administrator and check the CKFinder configuration file.

Does anybody have any idea how to solve this?

Thanks.

Its due to there not being a session check in config that returns a bool true if the user is logged or false if not.

Yep, it is all about the CheckAuthentication function in the configuration file.

The sample piece of code with

$_SESSION['IsAuthorized']

that some users uncomment, without checking what is it exactyl, is just a sample code, that will not work in most cases, becuase such variable is not defined anywhere. It is just a sample code to show that returning "true" (and thus allowing anyone to upload files) is not generally safe.
