Ok I have several modules in my application in symfony. I have only one module that is secure: on. I also have a layout.php that on top includes a tabbed menu to display links for each module in my application. This menu also has a part where the user is displayed link to 'sign in' if user is not logged in and 'log out' if user is logged in.
When I attempt to visit the module that is secure: on I am forwarded to the sign in page. I can log in fine and the cookie is created. If I go to any other module the menu displays the 'log out' link.
Lets say I close the browser (cookie is set to expire in 15 days) and open up browser again and i go to the homepage module. I should be logged in but the menu displays 'sign in' instead (thinking no user is logged in). I try to visit the secure: on module and then when page reloads the menu displays the 'log out' link because it now reads the cookie.
What I found out is that if a cookie is set and I close browser and reopen it at the homepage there are two cookies, one 'sfRemember', and second 'symfony'. After I visit the secure module and the cookie is read, the cookie for 'symony' is totally different from what gets displayed on the homepage - this means its not reading the same cookie and thats why the 'log out' link doesnt appear until I visit the secure module. If after I open that secure module I go back to home page the application reads the cookie just fine and 'log out is displayed'.
I really have no clue how to approach this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
