Subportal doesn't change when the user's group is changed, until next login

Question

Hi,
We have two subportals: Physician and Resident. We also have two groups: Physicians and Residents. Users belonging to Physicians see the Physician subportal when they login, and Residents see the Resident suportal. When a Resident becomes a Physician, we move the user from the Resident group to the Physician group (programmatically) when they log in for the first time after this event. Unfortunately, the resident still gets logged in to the Resident subportal. However the next time they log in, they are sent to the Physician subportal. So we are logging out the user when this happens. Can anyone suggest how the user can be redirected to the correct subportal after a group change? Could this be some kind of caching issue? Maybe there is a way to log the user in a second time behind the scenes?
We are using Plumtree version 5.5
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
R.A.

Answer 1

In reply to my own post, what we ended up doing eventually was a behind the scenes log out and log back in. Unfortunately we had to store the password in session, which is not a good practice.
Here is what we did:
     private AActivitySpace m_asOwner;
     public void Init(IModel model, AActivitySpace space)     {
          m_asOwner     = space;
     public Redirect CheckActionSecurityAndExecute(XPHashtable arguments)     {
          IXPRequest iXPRequest = m_asOwner.GetCurrentHTTPRequest();
          XPSession xPSession = iXPRequest.GetSession();
          String usersPassword = (String)xPSession.GetAttribute("usersPassword"); // this was added to the session in OMDGuestLoginActions
          Redirect redirect = new Redirect();
          redirect.SetLinkCreateNewSpace(LoginAS.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME, null);
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_hi_space", "Login");
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_hi_spaceID", 0);
          redirect.SetControl(LoginControl.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME);
          redirect.AddControlArgument(LoginHTML.PARAM_DOLOGIN, true);
          redirect.AddControlArgument(LoginHTML.PARAM_USERNAME, nameOnly);
          redirect.AddControlArgument(LoginHTML.PARAM_USERPASS, usersPassword);
          redirect.AddControlArgument(LoginHTML.PARAM_AUTHSOURCE, "OMD Portal");
          return redirect;
Password is set here:
     public Redirect OnAfterLogin(Object oUserSession, ApplicationData appData) {
                    String in_pw_userpass = appData.GetParameterValue("inpw_userpass"); // read from the login form
                    IXPRequest iXPRequest = _appData.GetRequest();
                    XPSession xPSession = iXPRequest.GetSession();
                    xPSession.SetAttribute("usersPassword", in_pw_userpass); // this is for passing it to LoginAgreementRepostControl
                    Redirect guestRedirect = new Redirect();
                    guestRedirect.SetLinkCreateNewSpace(LoginAgreementAS.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME, null);
                    guestRedirect.SetControl(GuestLoginAgreementControl.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME);
                    return guestRedirect;
}
