We have a cold fusion web application. Which is under the security of another applicaiton. Security application passes the user id to our application in form of something like below.
cgi.http_scempnum
We access this variable value in applicaiton.cfm file and query the user table for this user id every time when any cold fusion page is accessed.
SO for every coldfusion request send query is fired against the database.
We have 1000 users and out of them only 5 are losing that cgi user id variable passed on to us from security applicaiton.
In the first attempt some users get thru it and we are able to access above mentioned value.
But in is subsequent requests send after successfully login in to our site , we are losing that value.
For some users in the very first attempt we are losing the value of cgi variable.
It comes as blank string.
One work around we have though is to store in cookie for very first time and then in subsequent requests we can use cookie value.
But what if we dont get the cgi variable valiue in first attempt itself and so cookie will also contain blank string.
Users are using IE 6.0 all 1000 users.
Its happening in production only and not devleopment .
Can any help me on this issue.Is it related to some server settings?
thanks
