Application log In

try this code:

<cffunction name="onRequestStart" access="public" returntype="boolean"
output="true">
<cfargument name="TargetPage" type="string" required="yes" />
<cfset var qsStruct = oRequest.getParameterMap()>
<cfif structKeyExists(qsStruct,'clear')>
<cfset structClear(session)>
<cfset onApplicationStart()>
</cfif>
<!--- check to see if logged in --->
<cfif (NOT structKeyExists(session,'accessAllowed')) OR
session.accessAllowed IS false>
<!--- if not logged in and not on login page, redirect to login --->
<cfif listLast(cgi.script_name,'/') neq 'login.cfm'>
<cflocation url="login.cfm" addtoken="no">
<cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfif>
<cfreturn true>
</cffunction>

<cflocation url="login.cfm">
<!--- <cfabort>
you can also use <cfset getPageContext().forward('login.cfm')>
instead of above 2 lines --->
</cfif>
</cfif>
<cfreturn true>

<cfif structKeyExists(url,'clear')><cfset onApplicationStart()></cfif>
<cfif structKeyExists(url,'clear')><cfset structClear(session)></cfif>
</cffunction>

that would be because session.allowAccess exists and is true.

where exactly do you have this line:
<cfif structKeyExists(url,'clear')><cfset structClear(session)></cfif>
?

instead of posting snippets from different parts of your onRequestStart
method, why don;t you post all of it? the order you have various <cfif>
clauses inside of it may be very important...

Azadi your log in code worked once then it didn't

you mean you are restarting your whole application (well,
re0initializing really) every time a user logs out???

but, really, if it is just a user logging out, why would you want to
call onApplicationStart()???

how else to do it would depend, to start with, on how you log your users
in...

I have this to process a log out how else could I do it?

<cfif structKeyExists(url,'clear')><cfset onApplicationStart()></cfif>
<cfif structKeyExists(url,'clear')><cfset structClear(session)></cfif>
</cffunction>

try this:

<cfif (NOT structKeyExists(session,'accessAllowed')) OR
session.accessAllowed IS false>

you may also need a <cfabort> after your <cflocation> tag to prevent
processing of originally requested page...

also, onRequestStart() method should accept one argument - targetpage.

try this for a full code:

<cffunction name="onRequestStart" access="public" returntype="boolean"
output="true">
<cfargument name="TargetPage" type="string" required="yes" />
<!--- check to see if logged in --->
<cfif (NOT structKeyExists(session,'accessAllowed')) OR
session.accessAllowed IS false>
<!--- if not logged in and not on login page, redirect to login --->
<cfif listLast(cgi.script_name,'/') neq 'login.cfm'>
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
<cfabort>
<!--- you can also use <cfset getPageContext().forward('login.cfm')>
instead of above 2 lines --->
</cfif>
</cfif>
<cfreturn true>
</cffunction>

This is obviously in the application.cfc?

well, instead of using <cflocation> you could simply set request.targetpage to the login.cfm ...

Let me know if it works
