problem getting session vars to stay defined

[mbdooly]

I am frustrated please help. I have used earlier versions of CF but cf 8 is very new to me. I want to set session variables with in the application.cfc, I thought I had it correct for session management to be initiated, as session variables can be defined. However using them with SSL... well - when a user accesses a page that is under the secure socket layer the variables are undefined. I dont understand what is occuring. This is what I have in my application.cfc file to start session management:

<cfcomponent output="false" hint="Handles application level events.">





<!--- Set up the application. --->
<cfset THIS.Name = "AppCFC" />
<cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan( 0, 0, 60, 0 ) />
<cfset THIS.SessionManagement = true />
<cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false />

<CFSET request.dsn = "wlaw" />
</cfcomponent>

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Are you using multiple servers that are load balanced? In this case the load balancer needs to be configured so it keeps visitors on the same server.

I have not worked with CF 8, but CF 7 has no problem to maintain sessions going from http to https pages.

cheers,

problem fixed!

Thank you for your input, I discovered this morning that it was in my
application.cfc file that I had made the error... too weird cause CF never complained, it just did not provide me with session scope...

I am once again smiling, dont ask me why but it feels good.........
