Don't look over in my direction man. All you can see is a pair of eyes staring out.

A child folder Application.cfc (extends parent) does not seem to have access to the GetAuthUser() set in the parent Application.cfc The 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 importantly what '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.
