Yes, this is a common application. I describe how to do this in Instant ColdFusion (my 1st book), but the basics are:
Create a log-in page. When the user logs in, set a session variable, something along the lines of 'IsLoggedIn' or if you are dealing with group level access, I like to us a list of the groups the user belongs to. In the application.cfm in the subdirectory (Make sure your cfapplication tags have the same name) check the access like this: <cfif session.isloggedin is false> <cflocation back to login page> ( <-- not exact code ) </cfif> At 11:52 AM 01/28/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I am new to CF and wondering if there is a way to have a login page that >would be accessed when a user comes to any page in the application, (Say >they bookmarked a page deeper than the root,) and the user would be sent to >the originally requested page after logging in. > >ie. >User goes to <http://www.webaddress.com/photos/addphoto.cfm> >ww.webaddress.com/photos/addphoto.cfm or showphots.cfm >User is sent to to <http://www.webaddress.com/photos> >ww.webaddress.com/photos/login.cfm >After logging in user is replaced to ><http://www.webaddress.com/photos/addphoto.cfm> >ww.webaddress.com/photos/addphoto.cfm or showphotos.cfm respectively. > >Thanks for any help in advance. >Chris > -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: Reboog711 | ICQ: 5246969 | Fax / Phone: 860-223-7946 -- Need a Web Developer?
