Hi,

I am trying to get to grips with having to use the enhanced security in 6.

So I have changed my login form (using a database search) to be the login for in the solution.

I have defined a group called ‘Experts’ and I have written the following code:

```auto
var groups = new Array()
				groups[0] = 'Experts'; //normally these groups are for example received from LDAP
				var user_uid = globals.userid; //also this uid might be received from external authentication method
				var ok = security.login(globals.username, user_uid, groups)
				if (!ok) {
					plugins.dialogs.showErrorDialog('Login failure', 'Already logged in? or no user_uid/groups specified?', 'OK')
				}

```

The username is a string, the globals.userid defined from searching my table based on username and password.

This triggers a ok=false and the error as if I am already logged in, but I am not.

Any clues, otherwise my solution brings up the servoy form when i put it onto the production server.

David

Hi David,

With Servoy enhanced security enabled you must use an authentication module with which you communicate from within the login form.

Read the Servoy Wiki on this…
