hmm.. so either this question was so dumb I provided everyone with a good
chuckle.... or it's truly perplexing..

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [CFCDEV] Application.cfc variables
and cfloginDate: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:29:28 -0600
Howdy all - Summary:A top level Application.cfc sets up the application vars
and handles login with CFLOGIN.A child folder Application.cfc (extends parent)
does not seem to have access to the GetAuthUser() set in the parent
Application.cfcThe index.cfm file in this child folder however does correctly
report GetAuthUser().
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm constantly getting tripped up with the Application.cfc file and what it
will and won't do, and more importantlywhat 'I think' it should be doing.
Here's the scenario. I've got an application running in a sub-folder of an
intranet. The intranet will pick up the Active Directory user ID from AUTH_USER
that the browser picks up. The intranet then will user this username to
automatically log them in. It works great and I've done this many time on all
kinds of things. Except in this one case something is screwy... I guess the
best way to describe it is through a simple diagram with numeric keys
explaining the parts. Note:Session data is being passed, so that's not the
issue. Intranet Folders and Files: CFLHDIntranet (folder) (1)\---
Application.cfc (2)\--- DocShare (folder) (3) \--- Application.cfc (4)
\--- index.cfm (5) 1) - The whole intranet lives in this folder. 2) -
Application.cfc (abreviated) <cfcomponent output="true">
<cfset this.name="CFLHDIntranet"> <cfset
this.sessionmanagement="yes"> <cfset
this.SetClientCookies="no"> <cfset
this.loginstorage="session"> <cffunction
name="onSessionStart" returntype="void"> I do a bunch of
login stuff to log them in and set an EMP_ID from the DB
<cflogin> <cfloginuser name="#loginQuery.EMP_ID#"
Password="#loginQuery.password#" roles="#loginQuery.ROLE#">
</cflogin> </cffunction> 3) - Folder that the quarrelsome
application lives in 4) - Application.cfc - This file will not return the
GetAuthUser() as it was set in the parent Application.cfc<cfcomponent
extends="CFLHDIntraNet.Application"> <cfoutput>#GetAuthUser()#
|#this.name#|</cfoutput> - test before cflogin is called: returns
domain/username <cflogin applicationtoken="#this.name#"></cflogin>
<cfoutput>#GetAuthUser()#</cfoutput> - test after cflogin is called: returns
domain/username --- a bunch of application level security needing the
EMP_ID code from the parent Application.cfc ----</cfcomponent> 5) However, if
you call index.cfm the GetAuthUser() returns '707'=EMP_ID as it should. Thanks
