Hi,
I'm sure this has been addressed in this forum, but searching doesn't show the answer I need. The documentation isn't very clear on this either.
I'm setting up an evaluation site in asp net on a Windows 2008 server. I've got multiple users that I want to upload/download from their own 'private' folders. I understand from reading the documentation and some of the posts in this forum, that ckfinder is supposed to be able to handle multiple logons with their own folders.
I've tried various settings in the config.ascx, various uses of the CKFinder_UserRole and so far, only the default folder is visible on the ckfinder web browser when logging on as any user.
I haven't been able to find any examples of setting up multiple users in the documentation or in this forum.
By the way, I can get a 'normal' logon to see the default folder structure in the userfiles folder, but beyond that, nothing I've tried has worked yet for multiple users.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
klindberg

Re: multiple user config for asp net
I've been able to get this working, sort of. I finally found a post in this forum that suggested using Session variables in asp net on the login page and passing the BaseURL and BaseDIR to the config.aspx.
It does work! I've verified that the users are seeing their own private folders.
I also had to duplicate the userfiles folder inside the ckfinder folder. I then renamed the duplicated userfiles folder to something descriptive of the particular user. I set that new folder as the BaseURL and BaseDIR when I pass the Session variables.
HOWEVER! How do you enable a user to logout of a CKFinder session? There are no 'Logout' buttons on the CKFinder window.
This is an administrative problem only. I find that in Safari and Firefox, if I logon as one user, view files, etc., Then open a new browser window (leaving the first open), and logon as another user, thereafter both windows only show files from the SECOND user logon. The first window does NOT, after this, show files from the first logon.
I suspect this is because the ASP NET variable changes. It doesn't really make sense, I would have thought that individual browser windows would retain their own settings.
Any ideas on how to fix that?
Thank you!
