Take a look at this... http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/messages.cfm/forumid:4/threadid:57 27
If you do this approach, you will need to CFCOOKIE (set cookies) to the user, based on the CFHTTP.ResponseHeader["Cookie"] which phpbb comes back, since that's how phpbb maintains sessions... If you do that, you'll probably need to send the user to a page which JS redirects to the phpbb app, but at least this will allow you to log into phpbb on the backend. At least, this is what I think would work in your case. Only other thing, is that you end up with 2 sessions. A CF session, and a PHP session... In order to keep the 2 in sync, you'd need to do something creative, like use a CFM file in CF to pipe out a transparent GIF when viewing PHP pages, and a PHP page which does the same, for inclusion on CFM pages. Then you'll end up maintaining the 2 sessions simultaneously... Ugly, but it should work 99% of the time. (just make sure both app servers have the same timeout for sessions)....

I have a website with a coldfusion login system which works fine. However, i have recently intergraded a phpBB forum to the site (clients request not my idea). I have managed to link the username / password tables to my exisiting coldfusion site, so when someone registers via the coldfusion script it automatically creates them a phpBB login too. The problem that I am facing is that when a user logs into the coldfusion site they have to also login to phpBB seperatly. I have used CFHTTP to try and force a login via phpBB but to no joy. Below is the script.. <!-- log into message board --> <CFHTTP method="post" url="/board/login.php" resolveurl="yes"> <CFHTTPPARAM type="formfield" name="username" value="test"> <CFHTTPPARAM type="formfield" name="password" value="test"> <CFHTTPPARAM type="formfield" name="redirect" value=""> <CFHTTPPARAM type="formfield" name="autologin" value="1"> <CFHTTPPARAM type="formfield" name="login" value=""> </CFHTTP> Now the above code does sucesfully authenticate the user with phpBB and log them in, but it does not save the session cookie so when the user navigates away they are no longer logged in to phpBB. I have done some digging about and found that the session cookie for phpBB is called php2mysql_sid. Does anyone know how to get this working? Probably a really simple solution......... :o/ cheers! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240882 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
