Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / May 2008Simple login script fails in EI 7
Greetings I have been using this simple login script (action page shown) for years- it now fails in IE 7 but works fine in Firefox? <CFQUERY name="auth_cso" datasource="cso.mdb"> SELECT user_pw, user_ID FROM user WHERE user_pw = '#Form.user_pw#' </CFQUERY> <CFIF auth_cso.RecordCount EQ 0 > <html> <head> <title>Incorrect Password</title> </head> <body> <font face="Arial, Helvtica" color="navy"> <h3><img src="images/50_alert_icon.jpg" width="50" height="46" alt="" border="0"> Incorrect Password</h3> <p><a href="login.cfm">Please Try Again</a></p> </body> </html> <CFELSE> <cfset Session.user_id = auth_cso.user_pw> <cflocation url="edit.cfm"> </CFIF> Could this be caused by some settings in IE? Running CF8 Server. Thanks for any help with this! What is the nature of the failure? Thanks for your quick response. It simply does not take the UN & PW- bounces back to the login pge - IOW nothing happens. If the wrong un/pw is/are entered, it does correctly show the error page. Thanks again, newportri cfdump and cfabort on your login action page will help you troubleshoot the problem. Put it right after the query to start and then react to what you see. Since you are using sessions verify that IE is set to accept cookies. Thanks- I can prevent cookies from being passed in the Application.cfm- this would prevent the problem? Thanks again.

Thanks again.[/q] No. This is likely a client side (IE) issue. By default sessions create a cookie, you either need to verify that your IE settings allow cookies or support sessions without using cookies. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=sharedVars_10. html http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=sharedVars_05. html Newportri wrote: [i]Could this be caused by some settings in IE?[/i] Probably not. You should use the session variable for login validation in Application.cfc, thus <cfif not isDefined("session.user_id") or session.user_id is ""> <!--- code that sends client to the login page ---> </cfif> |
