I am having issues with Session variables since I am not able to set a session variable. My company Intranet page checks for a session variable and then allows users to login. Please if any one can help me with code or guide what I am doing wrong.

I have tried updating session variable in application.cfm but so far no luck..

 

Auth.cfm

<cfapplication name="LID"

               ClientManagement="No"

               SessionManagement="Yes"

               SessionTimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#"

               SetClientCookies="No">

<cflock scope="session" timeout="30" type="ReadOnly">

        <cfset Session.LID="#cflogin.name#">

     

        </cflock>

                        <cfset Session.USERID= "Request.ses.LID"> ( Session.USERID is set to check user and allow their access)

application.cfm code runs before any code on any page.  In your case, this

<cfset Session.LID="#cflogin.name#">

will run before the user logs in.

Hello Dan,

Thanks for a reply and what approach should I choose so that once user logs in , session.USERID=cflogin.username.

I would really appreciate your help.

I've only had to do it once, and the code is below.  An improvement would be to change this sort of thing

<cfelse>  <!--- not logged in --->
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>

to this sort of thing.

<cfelse>  <!--- not logged in --->
<cflocation url="loginform.cfm">

<cflogin>
<cfif isDefined( "cflogin" ) and not cgi.SCRIPT_NAME contains "logout">

<cfquery name="authenticate" datasource="#session.dsn#">
select userid, roles
from users
where userid = '#cflogin.name#'
and password = '#hash(cflogin.password)#'
</cfquery>

<cfif authenticate.recordcount>  <!--- successful log in --->

<cfcookie expires="never" name="cashflowlogin" value="#authenticate.userid#">

<cfloginuser
name="#cflogin.name#"
password="#cflogin.password#"
roles="#authenticate.roles#"/>

<cfelse> <!--- unsuccessful log in --->

<cfset LogInMessage = "<h3>Invalid Login, Please Try Again<h3>"> 
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>

</cfif>  <!--- successful log in --->

<cfelse>  <!--- not logged in --->
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>

</cfif>  <!--- is defined cflogin --->

</cflogin>
