:Q Do the people on this forum not know anything about cflogin OR is it they do
not wish to share??? I posted a ? a week ago and I am still waiting to here a
reply. Here is the problem. Hi I need some help. Ifind lots of tutorials for
simple login and for using cflogin in the Application...BUT nothing about using
cf_login for single pages. Here are the codes I am using and ALL that is
happening is I am returned to the login page everytime, if I enter correct or
false data and NO error message...PLUS there is no login happening. !. I put
this code in the BODY ON THE PAGE I want to secure: (The login form does show
up on the page just does nothing) <body> <cfif not len(getAuthUser())> <cfset
request.loginmessage = 'You need to Log In.'> <cfinclude
template='../LogIn/ForceUserLogIn.cfm'> </cfif>  <cfset ContactName = ListFirst(GetAuthUser())>
<cfoutput> <h2>Add or Edit a Event</h2> WELCOME BACK, #ContactName#
</cfoutput> </body> I then have a login form;   <cfif IsDefined('Form.UserLogin')> <cfinclude
template='LoginCheck.cfm'> </cfif> <html> <head> <title>Log In</title> <meta
http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'> </head>
<body>  <cfform action='#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#'

I replied to another post of yours--did you not see it? Here it is
again. I will try to answer any additional questions you may have.

Unless I'm just missing it I don't see that you're using cflogin or
cfloginuser anywhere on this page, so getAuthUser() is never going to
return anything. Think of cflogin this way. Anything you put between
your cflogin tags is only going to get executed if someone is not logged
in, so for example you could put your login form in your cflogin tags.
Also in my experience you have to have your cfloginuser tag inside a
cflogin tag for it to work properly, so you'd have to do a check for the
form submission, validate the user, and if that's successful then log
the user in. There is a very basic example here that illustrates this:
[url]http://tinyurl.com/5lqy6[/url]

Whether you want to apply this to your entire site or one page, the
principle would be the same.

Hope that helps!

You did not read my reply on the first post NOR did you read this post. I
forgot in the first post to put in the forceuserlogin.cfm Which I did repost in
the first post and is on this post! I also have a application.cfm with the
session enabled. PLEASE HELP. READ what I am trying to do and please tell me
what I am doing wrong. Thanks

I think your problem is that you're using cflocation to route people
back to the same page, which affects the setting of the cflogin cookie.
I created a simplified version of what you're trying to do and used a
javascript redirect instead of cflocation and it worked fine, so try
that and see if it solves the problem.

now do i feel your pain. i've once had with the same problem you're having,
but i have found better solution. there's a framework out there called ONTAP
that does everything you're asking (there have been articles and macrumedia
presentations about it and it look very good) try it out and you will be
happy. use ONTAP.

greetings from italy!

The CFlocation used to cause problems with Cookies in early versions of CF
but that was fixed in MX6.1

Well, there's still something going on here related to that apparently
because when I replace the cflocation with a javascript redirect, voila,
things work as they should. I'll have to dig into it more tomorrow.
Could it be because in this case the page is getting routed back to itself?

My modified version of the original poster's code is below, and this
works fine. If I replace the javascript bit with a cflocation (I'm on
CFMX 7), it doesn't work and I see the behavior this person is seeing,
namely that the login doesn't seem to stick and you just see the login
form over and over. I've personally never routed things back to the
same page like this before when I use cflogin, but that's the behavior
I'm seeing. (Note that this code is cfincluded on another page that's
supposed to be protected by cflogin.)

<cflogin>

<cfif StructKeyExists(form, "username")>
<cfif form.username EQ "admin" AND form.password EQ "admin">
<cfloginuser name="admin" password="admin" roles="admin" />
<cfelse>
You need to log in.
</cfif>
<script language="javascript">
<cfoutput>document.location.href =
"#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#";</cfoutput>
</script>

<cfelse>
<cfform action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" method="post">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td align="right">User Name:</td>
<td><cfinput type="text" name="username"
required="yes" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Password:</td>
<td><cfinput type="password" name="password"
required="yes" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input
type="submit" value="Login" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</cfform>
<cfabort />
</cfif>
</cflogin>

If you use cflocation CF doesn't set cookies , session variables or run queries
on that cfm page. If you move the login script into a cfc, pass it the login
info and then, do a redirect on the cfm page based on the returned data from
the cfc it will work much better.
