Security Problem

Hello, I have a little problem with the sessions.
I am using codeigniter session library, and that's how it works:


function _example_output($output = null)
{
if($this->session->userdata('logged_in'))
{
$session_data = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');
$output->ses_data = array('username' => $session_data['username'],
'id' => $session_data['userid'],
'permisos' => $session_data['userperms']);
$this->load->view('home_view.php',$output);
}
else
{
//If no session, redirect to login page
redirect('login/index/', 'refresh');
}
}




It works fine, when I try to access from another browser without being logged in, the problem is when I refer to Ajax_list, for example if I write

[b]mysite.com/panel/users/[/b]

Not allow me access because it is a private area, so far so good.

but ....

[b]mysite.com/panel/users/[color=#ff0000]ajax_list[/color][/b]

This shows the list! and I'm not logged in, any suggestions for handling sessions in this case?

Greetings!

HI! Don't use the security code in that function!
You should to use it before _example_output, for example in the __construct();




class test extends CI_Controller
{
var $ses_data;
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();

if ($this->session->userdata('logged_in'))
{
$session_data = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');
$this->user_data = array('username' => $session_data['username'],
'id' => $session_data['userid'],
'permisos' => $session_data['userperms']);
}
else
{
redirect('login/index/', 'refresh');
}
}

function manager()
{

//other code
$output = $crud->render();
$output->ses_data = $this->ses_data;
$this->load->view('home_view.php',$output);
}

}
