login and logout

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I have an application that uses lccs. All users are authenticated as guests. My problem is that I can't logout a user in order to login another user. For both users I use different authenticators (new AdobeHSAuthenticator objects with different names and no passwords). When I call connectSessionContainer.logout (also tried with close() ) everything seems to be fine. ConnectSessionContainer.isSynchronized is equal false, so I guess this means the user is logged out. However when I try to login the second user using the same connectSessionContainer I can see that after connectSessionContainer.isSynchronized is equal true the user descriptor contains the same display name even though there is a new authenticator with a new name. So when I want to send a message to SimpleChatModel, the MessageDescriptor uses displayName of the previous user. I don't understand why whould userManager.myUserDescriptor keep the same display name after relogging. I guess there's something fundamentally wrong with my understanding of how lccs works. How can I logout and login again so that userManager.myUserDescriptor would be changed ?

Many thanks,
Piotr

Hi Piotr (and sorry for the long-ish wait),

I think what's happening in this case is that the AdobeHSAuthenticator's authenticationKey is remembering the last session token you used. Try something like :

cSession.authenticator.authenticationKey = null;

cSession.authenticator.userName = "whatever";

cSession.login();

It worked out, thanks!!!

In my case I had to keep existing authenticator and set authenticationKey to null as you suggested. Creating a new authenticator wouldn't make it work.
