Instead of doing a CFLocation, do a CFInclude. This will replace the
current page's contents with your login page.
<cflogin idletimeout="29">
<cfif not IsDefined("cflogin")>
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
<cfelse>
<!---Invoke dbsecurity CFC --->
<cfscript>
//Instantiate the component
dbauth=createobject("component","components.Security");
authenticated=dbauth.authenticateUser(username=cflogin.name,password=cflogin
..password);
</cfscript>
<cfif authenticated><!--- if true get roles else invalid
login --->
<cfset roles=dbauth.getUserRoles(cflogin.name)>
<cfloginuser name="#cflogin.name#"
password="#cflogin.password#" roles="#roles#">
<cfset session.displayroles=roles><!--- for
displaying roles only --->
<cfelse>
<cfset loginmessage="Invalid Login">
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cflogin>

Subject: redirection/user authentication
Hey, folks. Having a bit of trouble setting up a basic application based
user authentication on my site. I keep getting an error in mozilla-based
browers, "redirection limit for this URL exceeded", that sort of thing. In
IE, it just won't load at all - eventually gives me a server unavailable
error.
I've been browsing through forum posts on this sort of problem, and it seems
it's sometimes related to cflocation, though I haven't been able to find any
sort of clear explanation.
Anyway, here's my application.cfm code:
<cfsetting showdebugoutput="no">
<cfapplication name="02133" sessionmanagement="Yes" setclientcookies="Yes"
applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,3,0)#">
<cfparam Name="Application.DSN" Default="MassInc2">
<cfparam name="Request.Debug" default="">
<cfparam Name="Application.SearchCollectionName" Default="02133">
<!--- check if user has logged out --->
<cfif IsDefined("Form.logout")>
<cflogout>
<cflocation url="/index.cfm">
</cfif>
<!--- check if user is logged in --->
<cfset referrer = GetFileFromPath(CGI.Path_info)>
<cfif referrer neq "login.cfm">
<cfif NOT IsDefined("cflogin")>
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
<cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfif>
What I'm looking for this to do is, if a user hasn't been logged in, send
them along to login.cfm - unless, of course, they're already there.
Any idea why I'm getting this redirection limit error when I try to call up
any of the pages in this application?
Thanks!
