Cookie session

Hello

i am a litter new to coldfusion, I have just finish my first web site (using CF8 and MySql5)

My hosting server doesn’t enable session on CF8 plans (only on CF9)

I want to login users securely so they can edit or delete their Add

So I am obliged to upgrade to CF9 or use cookie session instead of CF or J2EE session

If any one has an idea how to login user using cookie session
If is it possible to give example code

Thank you very much

 

What does your previous login code look like? Because generally the concept would be the same for cookies. Only the scope would change. ie use COOKIE instead of SESSION.

 

Its better to contact with your hosting server he can guide you in good manners.

 

thank u
finally i did it with CF session without need of J2EE session but with the same functionality of J2EE session:

<cfset this.name="xxxxxxxx">
<cfset this.sessionmanagement="true">
<cfset this.sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,25,0)#>
<cfset this.setClientCookies = "false">

and then on OnSessionStart:

<cffunction
name="OnSessionStart"
access="public"
returntype="void"
output="false"

<cfcookie name="CFID" value="#SESSION.CFID#" />
<cfcookie name="CFTOKEN" value="#SESSION.CFTOKEN#" />
<cfreturn />
</cffunction>

so its like J2EE session; there is no cookie stored on client, when closing browser automatically loug out .....

 

Yes it is stored on the client. It's just not a permanent cookie.

 

yes, and that just what i wanted, i think its stored in browser memory, when you close browser the cookie deleted

 

Yup. That's exactly what happens.

 

If I want to make the session for long time then what to do?

 

its not a permanet cookie

 

You can create your session with $_SESSION['user'];
