I put CFOUTPUT just after the CFSET stmt and indeed the variable session.allowin was set to true. I also put a CFOUTPUT at the top of my application.cfm and found session.allowin was false. So why is this variable becoming false before it gets to my application.cfm? Do I need to do something to pass the values to it?

Or run the app in debug so you can watch SESSION.allowin my guess is a place you think is changing it, isn't. If I am not doing it in debug I put some script alert() to pop up the variables I want to watch. J.

They are now working as designed. Login.cfm calls login_action.cfm which checks the database and allows if the username and password works. It sets session.allowin = true. Then it calls out to the members dir where the member page and the application.cfm is located. Well application.cfm sets session.allowin default to false but it should skip that because it is already set to true supposedly. So then the application.cfm blocks me and I don't know why -----Original Message----- From: John Wilker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 12:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: login prob What happens?

Mostly it was a directory structure problem. My current problem is that I get logged in and then when it goes to the membersonly directory it runs a cfm page there where I have an application.cfm file with the following code. The problem is that the variable session.allowin does not seem to be set because it blocks me when it checks that in the cfif statement. The process page says I successfully logged in and then when I call the members page the application.cfm blocks me. Any ideas? <!--- Create the user login application ---> <cfapplication name="MyApp" clientmanagement="Yes" sessionmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,15,0)#" applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,2,0,0)#"> <!--- Now define that this user is logged out by default ---> <CFPARAM NAME="session.allowin" DEFAULT="false"> <!--- Now if the variable "session.allowin" does not equal true, send user to the login page ---> <!--- the other thing you must check for is if the page calling this application.cfm is the "login.cfm" page and the "Login_process.cfm" page since the Application.cfm is always called, if this is not checked the application will simply Loop over and over. To check that, you do the following call ---> <cfif session.allowin neq "true"> <cfif CGI.SCRIPT_NAME EQ "/login.cfm"> <cfelseif CGI.SCRIPT_NAME EQ "/login_process.cfm"> <cfelse> <!--- this user is not logged in, alert user and redirect to the login.cfm page ---> <script> alert("You must login to access this area!"); self.location="/login.cfm"; </script> </cfif> </cfif> -----Original Message----- From: Mike Miessen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 11:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: login prob Well that didn't change anything.
