If you don't set the cookies, it doesn't matter if a user already came to the site. User A comes to a page (by typing www.mysite.com) and CF detects that CFID & CFTOKEN don't exist. CF creates CFID & CFToken. User A goes to the next page by clicking a link <a href="page.cfm?CFID=123&CFTOKEN=12345678">. CF detects that CFID & CFTOKEN exist (you passed them on a url) and is able to find client info. User A types the url www.mysite.com/page2.cfm (and doesn't pass the urltoken). CF detects CFID & CFTOKEN dont exist and creates new ones. the user looses client info.
The only way to persist client info without passing the tokens with every link is setting the cookies. -----Original Message----- From: Bosky, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: vrijdag 22 maart 2002 15:38 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Client Variables So if User A has already been to index.cfm it will automatically discover the client.urltoken and if User B hasn't been to index.cfm it will create it? How can it do this without using a cookie and how does it differentiate User A from User B?

This means on the page the user calls first. On the next pages it exists if you passed it on the url. -----Original Message----- From: Bosky, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: vrijdag 22 maart 2002 15:00 To: CF-Talk Subject: Client Variables If I have clientmanagement =yes and setclientcookies=no in my application.cfm file, how does cf identify specific users in the index.cfm file? I understand you must append the client.urltoken to all pages if setclientcookies=no but how does index.cfm find the client.urltoken? Probably a silly question with a simple answer...
