Application log In

that should work ok...

just to rule out other possible issues, do this:

in your onSessionStart method in Application.cfc add
<cfset session.accessAllowed = false>

then clear the cach and cookies and authenticated sessions in your
browser and close it.

if you have another browser installed - strat that one and try accessing
your secured directory. ( if you do not have another browser insatlled -
shame on you as a web developer! :) you can start the same browser
again, but better after the session timeout period only...)

<cfoutput query="Getlisting">

<CFIF Getlisting.recordcount EQ 1>
<cfset Session.accessAllowed = true>
<cfset Session.name = '#user_fname#'>
<cfset Session.role = '#user_role#'>
<CFLOCATION URL="index.cfm">
<CFELSE>
<cfset Session.accessAllowed = false>
<CFLOCATION URL="login.cfm?login=failed">
</CFIF>
</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>

ok, that's better.

now, where do you set the session.accessAllowed variable? post the code
that sets it.

ok if you try to access any page inside the "Application" then you can get to it and are not redirected to the login page. However if you log in log out by using clear=1 in the url and then try and go back in and access another page without logging in the logic then forces you to go to the login page before trying to access any other page.

still not clear, sorry...

what do you mean by 'if you try and access the directory for the first
time it doesn't work'?

what does not work? how do you expect it to work? how is the way it
works different from what you expect?

what do you expect to happen when one accesses your directory for the
first time? what actually happens?

Meaning if you try and access the directory for the first time it doesn't work but if you log in then log out by hitting clear it forces you to go to the login screen which is what we want. So my question is what do I need to modify in the code so that we can have it start working on that first access?

> so how can we set it up to start out working

?? what do you mean? lost...

ok that works only if I log in then put ?clear=1 at the end of the url so how can we set it up to start out working?

sorry, my fault - bad copy/paste...

change this line:

<cfset var qsStruct = oRequest.getParameterMap()>

to:

<cfset var qsStruct = getPageContext().getRequest().getParameterMap()>
