OnlineStatusModule.Logon not triggered

I have a Community 3.1-based site that has been upgraded from CMS 4.62 to CMS 5 R2 SP1. Since then the OnlineStatusModule.Logon event is not triggered when a user logs on. In the old version the method EPiServer.Util.LoginBase.HandleFormsLogin was used to log the user in. Now it's handled by the ASP.NET login control. Does this prevent the event from triggering?

Yes, that change is probably what causes the event not to trigger.

I believe this issue is fixed in the current version (3.2 SP1), but it would probably be possible to create a workaround for 3.1 if migration to the 3.2 series is not an option.

No, a migration is not an option. I'll move my code to the LoggedIn event of the Login control instead.

That should solve your immediate problem.

However, if the Logon event never fires, then I suspect that the OnlineModule will not work as intended. A workaround may be to call the OnlineModule.SetStillActive(IUser) method manually.

I use the OnlineStatusModule.GetLastLogins to populate a list of recently logged in usres, and it seems to include users that have just logged in (using the Login control), so somehow the OnlineStatusModule gets information about the login. Perhaps SetStillActive is called from within the framework upon the next request or so?
