Re: [Mediawiki-l] Can't setCookies() via hook to login user

Further debugging reveals that cookies are indeed 'set', meaning that a print_r($_COOKIE); outputs values for

[SSOLanguage] => en [SSOCookie] => 3b84iei838ei... [wikidbUserID] => 13 [wikidbUserName] => John Smith 123 [PHPSESSID] => njg7rnovlc8l...

So why won't the login 'stick'?

A few published autologin solutions, as well as SpecialUserLogin::processlogin uses the $wgUser= $u followed by $wgUser->SetCookies method similar to the below snippet to login an existing user.

When running this as a hook function, the Cookies won't set (won't login). Debug log shows $tmpuser->getID()=13 and $tmpuser->getName()='John Smith' just prior to the $wgUser=$tmpuser statement.

Cookies are enabled,

What else is needed?

Thanks for any input, Brian

function AutoL(&$user) { global $sso_UN,$wgUser, $wgCommandLineMode;

    if ( !$wgCommandLineMode && !isset( $_COOKIE[session_name()] ) ) {
       User::SetupSession();
    }

   //Cancel if session is current
   $tmpuser = User::LoadFromSession();
   if($tmpuser->isLoggedIn())
        return;

   //Is the user already in the database?
   $tmpuser = User::newFromName($sso_UN);

   //If exists, log them in
   if($tmpuser->getID() != 0)
   {
           $tmpuser->loadFromDatabase();
           $wgUser = $tmpuser;
           $wgUser->setCookies();
           $wgUser->saveSettings();
           return;
   }
