Tapping into MODx session on framed pages in Manager

I’m not sure how possible this is, but I have created a module for the Manager that simply redirects to a page outside the manager like so:

header("Location: http://mydomain.com/pages/index.php");

The page is on the same domain MODx is installed on.

I want to somehow tap into the MODx authentication so that if a user isn’t accessing this page from within the Manager (and thus isn’t logged in), it cannot be browsed to directly.

Is that possible? Can someone point me to a reference to tap into the MODx session or something?

Thanks!

Can you not use tradition groups and users? .htaccess maybe?

I suppose that is an option, but I didn’t want people to have to log in a second time if they are already logged into the manager.

Modules will only run within the manager module framework. Requests outside of that will not have access to the session, or, more importantly, to the $modx object or environment.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the response. Time for plan B...
