Sounds plausible. I checked my session variables from the debugging window and I found values for
CFID CFTOPKEN sessionId jsessionId the values of these variables do _not_ change when I go from Application A to Application B and vice versa. To check I do: in Application A: <cfset session.test="test app a"> <cfdump var="#session#" label="#APPLICATION.applicationname#"> Here session.test show the value test Application a and in Application B <cfdump var="#session#" label="#APPLICATION.applicationname#"> <cfabort> When requesting a page in Application B there is no session.test So it looks like Coldfusion uses the same session variables (CFID,CFTOKEN,sessionId,JsessionId) for 2 different applications but underneath they are 2 different memory pools. Why I want to know this is because I want to retain some information when switching between Application A and Application B. In Application A I login, if I then request a page from Application B I want Application B to see I'm already logged in (sort of Single Sign on). So in App A I log in; I store the jsessionId along with a value "1" for login in a table "users:login"; I send id=#jsessionId# as a URL parameter to the request of a page in App B; in App B I lookup the value of login using the value of URL.id; If found I know I'm logged in and change users:login to the value of jsessionId in Application B. If I go back to app A I do the same check on table users:login so I don't lose my login status when I switch from App A to App B and vice versa, So this works event thouigh the ids for Application A and Application B are identical... Is this a failsafe approach? I don't knowe much about SSO so I am curious about your comments.
