Login cookie change from 1.3.3 to 1.4.10

[outdoorresearch]

We recently upgraded from 1.3.3 to 1.4.10. It appears that the method of knowing whether a user is logged in or not has changed. In 1.3.3, there were two cookies set (cpg133_uid and cpg133_pass) when a user logged in. By setting these cookies, I could basically "force" a specific user to be "logged in" without having to go through the Coppermine login screen. In 1.4.10, this does not seem to work anymore.

Does anyone know how Coppermine maintains user login status in 1.4? Is it done through a PHP session now rather than cookies?

It's done using a single session (not php sessions) cookie. See bridge/coppermine.inc.php

Thanks for the reply. It appears that the way 1.4.10 handles logins is quite a bit differently than 1.3.3 . It was nice in 1.3.3 to be able to just set two cookies and be logged in. Now there is interaction with a record in the session table which requires a bit more manuvering to get around.
