I was reading the tutorial over on cfvault, and I noticed it wasn't using cflogin, or cfloginuser, or any of the newer MX security features, and I was wondering if anyone had a good url with a good introduction to application security using some of the newer CFMX features.
I'm trying to wrap my brain around application security, and I'm having a hard time following the CFMX manual. In fact, I'm not even sure of what questions I'd even *ask* at this point, other than maybe, "how on earth do I make this work?" I mean, I fundamentally understand how this is all supposed to work, and I understand application.cfm and all that, but I'm just having a hard time determining little things...like what to put where, and so on. Also, if I use <cfloginuser> I'm limited to "name", "password", and "roles", but the table is going to store more information than that, that I'd like access to, like first and last name for instance. I'd like to display that on each page, but I'm not sure how to get it for each logged in user. Etc.. Any help would be appreciated... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
