I've been looking for some pre-written samples to work with but haven't found any. I'm using CFMX on the back end and am working on a session system to work with my flex objects.
In summary this is how it will work. 1 - Flex App displays u/p form to user 2 - Flex sends u/p data via SSL to CF authentication service (webservice, etc) 3 - CF authenticates the user and inserts a row with metadata into a session table on the server with a GUID key. 4 - CF returns the GUID key (token) back to the Flex App. 5 - All subsequent calls to CF services will have the token as a parameter. (CF will pull this data from the data store with each request) See any problems with this? >From: "Allen Riddle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: <[email protected]> >Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Authentication - please help >Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 08:35:40 -0500 > >Are you wanting authentication for your Flex views?
