Session Reset Problem

Question

hi,
I have been working on project where it has a admin area with
an admin log-in page, I track the logged in user using a session
variable set by a log-in function. my problem is it logs the user
in and when it clicks a link on the admin panel
it kicks out the user giving the login screen again, when I
had a closer look @ the problem, I noticed that, it resets the
session variable in the next user page request, I have been reading
few forums regarding this problem bub none provides a positive
answer rather than passing the session details into the next page
using the URL. has anybody come across this problem or any possible
solutions except the URL passing would be thankful.

Regards.

You may want to create another application.cfm at the root of your "Admin area" where you can check for the existence of your session ID and validity of this user_id in your table of "valid user".

If the session variable is not defined you can then use CFlocation to dispaly your Login Page otherwise the intended page will automatically be displayed.
Because Application.cfm is executed before every page in this area gets loaded, it will also prevent anyone from bookmarking a page in your "Admin Area" while bypassing your login screen.

Hope this helps,
Claude
