Whos logged in

Has anyone got a script that does this?

Id like a logged in page, where it lists users logged into my app.

Thanks in advance

Since I am required to log every hit on my intranet application, I simply query my Hits database. Using session varialbes you can get a pretty good handle on who is currently logged in. I think there are tags in the community section of the Adobe website. Do a google search on "currently logged in" and "session variables" and you are sure to be on your way.

Thanks for your reply

I can find out how to display the amount of sessions, but not whos logged in.

Anyone?

If you have users logged in then there is a session connected with their account, when they log out that session is deleted. So if you know how your sessions are set and with what kind of named variables, then you can check on that variables and link them to the logged in user data that is in the db.

For example, when there is a session set with:

<cfset SESSION.username=username from database>

then there is a session.username variable active which holds the value of the username from the database.

These values corresponds which enable you to match those.

Thanks for your reply.

I'd rather not use a DB to reference a user ID. I'd rather keep it to the initial session itself, how do think I could do this? Use a struct assigned to a session variable, that contains the user name I can display on my logged in page?

Thansk again

I think the following link will provide insight on how to do that (for me also):
