Example
The following example uses the auth and status fields to determine whether the
user is authenticated and the failure cause. It consists of three files that
you put in the same directory:
A main cfntauthexample.cfm page that displays the name if the user is
authenticated and contains a logout link.
A login form page that is displayed if the user is not logged in.
The Application.cfm page, which contains all the login, authentication, and
logout processing code.
For a full description of login processing, see ColdFusion MX Developer's
Guide. For information on how this example works, see the comments in the code.
Save the following page as cfntauthenticateexample.cfm. To run the example,
request this page in your browser or IDE.
<!--- The Application.cfm page, which is processed each time a user
requests this page, ensures that you log in first. --->
<cfoutput>
<h3>Welcome #GetAuthUser()#</h3>
<!--- A link to log out the user. --->
<a href="#CGI.script_name#?logout=Yes">Log Out</a>
</cfoutput>
Save the following page as loginform.cfm:
<!--- A simple login form that posts back to the page whose request initiated
the login. --->
<H2>Please Log In</H2>
<cfform action="#CGI.script_name#">
<!--- j_username and j_password are special names that populate cflogin tag
variables. --->
User Name: <cfinput type="text" name="j_username" value="cfqa_user1"
required="Yes"><br>
Password: <cfinput type="password" name="j_password" value="cfqa_user1"
required="Yes"><br>
Domain: <cfinput type="text" name="domain" value="rnd" required="Yes"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Log In">
</cfform>
Save the following page as Application.cfm:
<!--- If this page is executing in response to the user clicking a logout link,
log out the user. The cflogin tag code will then run. --->
<cfif IsDefined("URL.logout") AND URL.logout>
<cflogout>
</cfif>
<!--- The cflogin body code runs only if a user is not logged in. --->
<cflogin>
<!--- cflogin variable exists only if login credentials are available. --->
<cfif NOT IsDefined("cflogin")>
<!--- Show a login form that posts back to the page whose request
initiated the login, and do not process the rest of this page. --->
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
<cfelse>
<!--- Trim any leading or trailing spaces from the username and password
submitted by the form. --->
<cfset theusername=trim(form.j_username)>
<cfset thepassword=trim(form.j_password)>
<cfset thedomain=trim(form.domain)>
<cfntauthenticate username="#theusername#" password="#thepassword#"
domain="#thedomain#" result="authresult" listgroups="yes">
<!--- authresult.auth is True if the user is authenticated. --->
<cfif authresult.auth>
<!--- Log user in to ColdFusion and set roles to the user's Groups.
--->
<cfloginuser name="#theusername#" password="#thepassword#"
roles="#authresult.groups#">
<cfelse>
<!--- The user was not authenticated.
Display an error message and the login form. --->
<cfoutput>
<cfif authresult.status IS "AuthenticationFailure">
<!--- The user is valid, but not the password. --->
<H2>The password for #theusername# is not correct<br>
Please Try again</H2>
<cfelse>
<!--- There is one other status value, invalid user name. --->
<H2>The user name #theusername# is not valid<br>
Please Try again</H2>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cflogin>
