Auto login from cookie using auto action

Auto login from cookie using auto action was created by smalldragoon
Hi,
To give context first, I have an external auth system which creates a session cookie with the JWT when auth . is succeesfull. cookie created is JWT , in /
I would like to trigger an autoaction to automatically login the user into joomla, when he is NOT already.
To do so, I have created the following :

trigger : joomla_on AfterRoute ( all the time , I will reduce the scope later )
conditions ( see attached screenshot ):
- when the session cookie JWT is not empty
- when the session cookie "joomla_user_state" is existing , meaning no joomla user is logged-in

I tried several options for "joomla_user_state" as syntax :

- [cookie_joomla_user_state]
- [cookie_JOOMLA_USER_STATE]

and several operators ( equal to -> logged_in , contains -> log ..etc ...)

but nothing is working. as [cookie_JWT] is working, I don't get why it is not for this other cookie

anything I'm missing ?
thanks

What you're describing is the exact purpose of "Remember Me". Have your users check that checkbox during login or configure your CB Login Module to have it checked by default if you want it applying to everyone initially. The remember me cookie will cause Joomla to log them back in if their session expires.

HI, I was not clear apparently, but with other tests I discovered the issue :

I want to make a condition on the fact that a cookie named "JWT" exist ( or not )
I made some test : if I create an empty cookie, and use of course the empty criteria it works.

How can I define then the condition " if a [cookie_JWT] exists ?
Thanks

If the cookie doesn't exist then the parser that's parsing additional substitutions doesn't know it exists either. This means [cookie_JWT] will output literally as [cookie_JWT]. The Code condition is probably the best way to handles this. Example as follows.

Field: Custom > Code
Custom Code:
return ( isset( $_COOKIE['JWT'] ) ? $_COOKIE['JWT'] : null );
Operator: Not Empty

That should work how you're expecting.

There's no operator that could handle that case. Substitutions that don't exist are just as-is strings. The code condition helps cover those extra cases where the substitution may not exist.
