Core

I have the same problem

Is there a workaround for this issue?

I have the same problem

Same problem here.

I am having the same problem and it took me hours to figure it out.

It is also mentioned in the sysext frontend here: https://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3cms-core/repository/revisions/master/entry/typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/Authentication/FrontendUserAuthentication.php#L251

The problem is fixed by adding this call.

I have the same problem.

Any ideas how to handle it?

Here is a really dirty fix for the extensions. But it should work until the bug is resolved.

$reflection = new \ReflectionClass($GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user);
$setSessionCookieMethod = $reflection->getMethod('setSessionCookie');
$setSessionCookieMethod->setAccessible(TRUE);
$setSessionCookieMethod->invoke($GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user);

Should be called after:

$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->createUserSession($user);

In the comments in gerrit at https://review.typo3.org/31607 it was mentioned:
[...]
Markus mentioned on Slack that adding a dummy value to the session data forces to set a cookie:
$frontEndUser->setKey('ses', 'dummy', TRUE);

If you like to go on with dirty hacks (which might break in the future), this should do the trick:

$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->checkPid = '';
$info = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->getAuthInfoArray();
$user = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->fetchUserRecord($info['db_user'], $username);
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->forceSetCookie = TRUE;
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->createUserSession($user);
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->user = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->fetchUserSession();

Thx for the information. At my point of view, this ticket can be closed now.

But nevertheless: I did not test it but I found an old blog entry which describes how to use an own auth service, if anyone needs a link:
http://jimsuperfly.de/blog/typo3-auth-service/

My Logic for automatic Login with php.

$info = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->getAuthInfoArray();
$user = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->fetchUserRecord($info['db_user'],$loginData['uname']);
$login_success = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->compareUident($user,$loginData);
if($login_success){
     $userSession = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->createUserSession($user);
     $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->loginSessionStarted = TRUE;
     $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->user = $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->fetchUserSession();
     return true;
} else {
    return false;
}

• function compareUident ($login_success) return false.
• I see the problem in line 1491 ...
• ../6.2.9/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Authentication/AbstractUserAuthentication.php
• Field $logindata['uident_text'] does not exist
• is expected the password
• changes to the field name in uident everything is ok

Hi highly recommend to autologin a user by only creating the session and force a redirect afterwards.
This is the only way the Core will correctly initialize all parts of the system. (Show correct menus etc)

Sample code:

$tsfe = $this->getTypoScriptFrontendController();
$tsfe->fe_user->createUserSession($feUser);
// enforce session so we get a FE cookie, otherwise autologin does not work (TYPO3 6.2.5+)
$tsfe->fe_user->setAndSaveSessionData('dummy', TRUE);
$this->cObj->typolink(
    '',
    [
        'parameter' => 123
    ]
);
$url = $this->cObj->lastTypoLinkUrl;
HttpUtility::redirect($url, HttpUtility::HTTP_STATUS_303);

Can anyone please provide an example to a login service using TYPO3 6.2 (i.e. that makes use of namespaces etc.)?

Thank you

May I close this ticket?

Ticket is not assigned to anyone. In my opinion you can close it.

No answer

The login is possible again as described above, so all should be good.

There are serveral ways described above...which one do you mean?

My sample Code:

protected function loginUser($username, $password) {

    $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->checkPid = '';
    $info = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->getAuthInfoArray();
    $user = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->fetchUserRecord($info['db_user'], $username);
    $loginData = array('uname' => $username, 'uident' => $password, 'status' => 'login');

    $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->forceSetCookie = TRUE;
    $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->createUserSession($user);
    $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->user = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->fetchUserSession();

    $loginSuccess = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->compareUident($user, $loginData);

    \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\DebuggerUtility::var_dump($loginSuccess);
    die('login');
}

Dumps "False" in TYPO3 6.2.12

So could you please post a tested example before you close the ticket?

Thank you!
