Here's the problem. When I set up a new user, I have a default password assigned to the user. When the user logs in for the first time, I want to redirect him to a page that forces him to change his password to something more permanent and set up a password hint question / answer combination in case he ever forgets his password.
The first problem is redirecting the page. I have tried <cflocation... in various places. It either creates an infinite loop that continues to go back to the login screen or it doesn't work at all (as if I don't even have the <cflocation... tag). The second problem relates to the theory that the redirect does work. If the user is forced to change his password, how do I save the new password back to the <cfloginuser... application. Theory would dictate that, without saving it back to <cfloginuser..., when the system times out (the timeout parameter of the <cflogin... script), logging back into the system would fail because it would not recognize the new password. The user would have to completely log out of the system and log back in for the new password to be effective. Obviously, this scenario would not be preferred. I am trying to cut down on the number of times a user has to log in to the system. Not increase it. _____ Gary L.
