Just flipping this one back to the group.
 
Has anyone tried this technique and gotten it to work?

Subject: [cfaussie] WWW-Authentication

Hi All,
 
Has anyone ever used the WWW-Authenticate 401 method to password protect a site?
 
I want to add a quick login within a staging site I am working on and instead of building a login form as per the norm I want the browser to pop up the username and password window like the windows basic authentication.
 
The code I am using is below,
 
 <cflogin>
 <cfif isDefined( "cflogin" )>
  <cfif cflogin.name EQ "myusername" and cflogin.password EQ "mypassword">
   <cfset roles = "user">
  </cfif>
 </cfif>
 
 <cfif isDefined( "roles" )>
  <cfloginuser name="#cflogin.name#" password="#cflogin.password#" roles="#roles#">
 <cfelse>
  <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes" showdebugoutput="no">
  <cfheader statuscode="401">
  <cfheader name="WWW-Authenticate" value="Basic realm=""MySecurity""">
  <cfoutput>Not authorised</cfoutput>
  <cfabort>
 </cfif>
 </cflogin>
 
When I activate it on the server I get the pop up window asking for the username, password AND domain. I enter the username and password, correctly as embedded in the page and the thing just pops up the window again. I keep entering the username and password and it keeps happening. Now the server has locked me out. Oops!
 
Has anyone used this type of authentication with CF? If I can get it to work I will tie it into the database and do it properly. For some reason I just like the little pop up window and thought it would save some time over coding a form page as it will be removed when the site goes live. Looks like a blew that theory, I think I have spent more time figuring out this problem than doing it the way I know and have done before.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Blake Foss
