Gus, The session variables would be specific to the application name on the server, not just the server.
Some options: Log into every application on the main login page by writing a cfapplication tag, then set the session variables, then repeat for every application. Log into every application from the main login page using cfhttp to call hidden secondary login pages. Make every application name the same, which would mean they would share session and application scopes. You could make use of the server variable scope or the database to pass information between the various applications. I would be surprised if it turned out to be cheaper to pay an employee to code a work-around then it would be to buy some SSL certs. If you buy enough certs from a place like Thawte, they give you significant discounts, or you could go to a discount certificate reseller. I realize that many organizations pay employees and vendors out of different budgets, which I'm guessing is the problem. Good luck, Mike Chabot On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 12:57 AM, Gus Denton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here is my problem.. > I am working in a uni and we have multiple sites (on the same server) > requiring authentication.
