RE: [plum] Question about user logins

[John Stanley]

We have alot of users that will complain alot if they have to type in their email address, especially when they alreay have a username and password. I am envisoining having to migrate all of that data from the old system to the new so it appears seamless to the user.   I added a column UserLoginID to the table and then just changed the appropriate methods to the security cfc. I've got it working, so now I will need to of course add the element to the Add and Edit forms for the users.   But I dont want to go too far down this road until I find out what the Churvises think.     -----Original Message----- From: Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 1:06 PM To: plum@mail.productivityenhancement.com Subject: RE: [plum] Question about user logins I agree John that using the User's email address as the Login Username may not always be a company's choice.  In the app I am working on however it was fine to leave it as their email-so I can't comment directly on yea/nea or how?   But I am, as we speak, working on a modification to the PlumUser table to add a UserTitleID.  Which will then be used to pull a UserTitle (such as Vice-President, General Manger, etc.) for a UserTitles table that I just added.   I am making modifications in the CFC Security.cfc to the UserQuery (to get the UserTitle value and to add this variable/value to the session variables -along side session.nameofloggedinuser.   I had posted this to the list earlier with a similar "am I doing this right" question, but haven't heard back from anyone yet.   Since it looks like we're working in a similar neck of the woods I'll share my experiences with you and the list.     Yours truly,   Dan Kaufman       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Stanley Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 12:54 PM To: 'plum@mail.productivityenhancement.com' Subject: [plum] Question about user logins   Well, the tutorials are all finished. I am simply amazed at what this has to offer.   We're looking to start working on putting the pieces in place for a large plum app.   I've seen that to log in under the current framework, you need a user email and password. To be frank, that's probably not gonna fly with our users. They are gonna want to use their same logins as in the old system.   I know I can add the needed column to the PlumUser table, and massage the login code to allow for this but wanted to run this by the list to see if others have done this and if the Authors recommend for/against doing it and why?   That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll have lots of questions in the near future.   Thanks John Stanley Web Application Developer Active Aero Group http://www.activeaero.com 734-547-7200 office
