If you are using the new Flex 2 Coldfusion Adapter and CF7, use remoteObjectID.setUsernamePassword(username, password) and in CF you'll see them in the cflogin scope #cflogin.name# #cflogin.password#
Hope this helps Ian -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Lesser Sent: 14 November 2005 15:44 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword on RemoteObject Picking up on an old thread from back in July, where calling addHeader on a NetConnection object got authentication working with Coldfusion.... when I try to do the same thing in Flex 2 Alpha 1, I get: code: NetConnection.Call.Failed and description: HTTP: Failed Does anyone know if addHeader is still supposed to be available, if its a bug, or if the parameters have changed? Yours truly, -Brian Credentials sent in custom manner are never sent using HTTP Headers. The information is contained within the AMF/HTTP POST body. The Flex-only API, setUsernamePassword, works on a per request basis and sends credential information inside a special Flex Envelope type which can have per-request headers. The legacy Flash Remoting setCredentials API worked on a per AMF packet basis (which potentially contained a batch of several requests as per NetConnection) and was sent as an AMF Header. Either way, you can only have one J2EE or CF session per connection, and connections are pooled on endpoint URI in Flex. So it should be fine for you to use the old setCredentials() API in most cases. You could just call setCredentials() on the RemoteObject connection property yourself... it simply sets an AMF Header on the underlying NetConnection with an anonymous object that has two properties 'userid' and 'password'. addHeader("Credentials", false, {userid: userId, password: password}); -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL <mailto:%5BEMAIL> PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Spaulding Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 3:16 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword on RemoteObject Thanks Vinny, Im assuming theres no workaround for this? Im probably just gonna pass the username and password as variables with each call then. Im using the cairngorm framework and I have a delegate super class so I can hide it all in there ;) cheers, Andrew Spaulding www.flexdaddy.info --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Vinny Timmermans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is a known bug in Flex 1.5.
