Set admin cookie

sowalsky · June 03, 2005, 02:33:11 PM

Hi,
I want to somehow trigger the setting of a cookie with my admin username and password when I access a certain page (outside of coppermine) so that when I view cpg, it gives me admin access. This is so I don't have to log in manually; I can use my private portal page to set the cookie.

How do I do this? I can't find where $config[cookie_name] or $config[cookie_path] are defined, so I can't place the proper cookie. Help, please!?

Here's the setcookie commands from login.php

Code Select

setcookie($CONFIG['cookie_name'] . '_uid', $USER_DATA['user_id'], time() + $cookie_life_time, $CONFIG['cookie_path']);
        setcookie($CONFIG['cookie_name'] . '_pass', md5($HTTP_POST_VARS['password']), time() + $cookie_life_time, $CONFIG['cookie_path']);

Hardcode in your details and it should work. Cookie name and path are those set in config, loaded into the $CONFIG array from your database in init.inc.php

Okay, so found cookie_name -- it's cpg133 and cookie_path is /
So would my syntax be:

setcookie('cpg133_uid', '1', time() + 3600, '/');
setcookie('cpg133_pass', md5('mypass'), time() + 3600, '/');

I'm trying this and the cookie isn't taking. It doesn't even show up in the FireFox cookie list... ('1' is the value of the uid cookie for admin placed when i logged in normally.
thanks for your help.

Nevermind -- I figured out what was wrong. I was putting it after my <HTML> tag. Oops.
