But you dont simply ask Russ, you patronise. But I won't make a further
issue of it.
Yes, Im presuming all those things, I did say that you might only want
to use it if you were using client storage anyway.
In those circumstances, it is a very clean and efficient (code wise)
method for remembering a users login. Instead of having cfcookie, etc.
you can just check and set a variable and cf takes care of it.

Obviously that would presume he has his own dedicated server and full access
to the cfadmin to set the client variable expiry.
As you yourself use a shared server, that would be quite an assumption to
make. And Also assuming that all hosts us ethe default 90 days, which they
probably don't because this decreases overall performance due to the size of
the clientstorage database.
I simply asked you to explain how your theory would work, if you don't want
to do so then fine, but no need to start getting abusive about it.

"Your client variables are set to expire after 30 days"
Easily editable. 90 days is the default is it not? Nothing mentioned about a
non expiring auto login in original post, just your angle on it (often there
is a 90 day limit on those remember me things), and if that was required
then clearly client variables would not be the way to go.
I even asked whether this was not correct earlier, I'm not making out to
know that it is the right thing to do. But it does work and I have used it
in exactly the circumstance that the original posted question was referring
to.
Was a simple suggestion so please chill the **** out.

OK please explain it to me then DOM.
Your client variables are set to expire after 30 days.
I visit your site after 31 days.
How am I automatically logged in ?

"But that's not really what were talking about.
The whole point in saving your login details in a cookie is so that you

Yes, which you can do by setting client variables. Same thing, less code.
Though I guess you'd only do it if you were storing client data in the
first place.

CF automatically creates the cookies for session and client variables
to manage your session.
But that's not really what were talking about.
The whole point in saving your login details in a cookie is so that
you can be automatically logged into a website every time you revisit,
even if it is
6 months later.

It is the same; you just dont have to handle the cookies, CF does it
for you so cleaner code IMO. Is this not right?
Snake wrote:

How would that negate the need for cookies then Dom?
You still need a cookie to identify your session so that the correct
client variables are loaded. So it's the same as using session variables.
And if the client variables expire, where will the login details come
from?

It can also be done using client variables if you have them enabled
in the application. This handles all the cookies for you:
IF remember me selected...
client.username = form.username
client.password = form.password
Just remember to clear them when they logout (remember me status
should be cleared when someone logs out)
Snake wrote:

Usually yes, you hash the username/password, store in cookie.
So in the database, your usernames/passwords would also be hashed.
So under normal login procedure, you HASH the form.username and
form.password and compare to database.
If the user has a cookie.username and cookie.password, you check
these first (without hashing them), if they fail, kick to login page.

On loggong in some sites have a small checkbox that says remember me
on this computer.
How is this done?
Is the persons password saved with Hash() in a cookie?
Thanks
