We are attempting to
implement a solution that will allow a user to enter our web "portal", log-on,
and ,based on that log-on (verified in the LDAP directory), utilize any one of
many secure applications. On the front side of things, we plan to set a
cookie that will stay with the user throughout the session. My question is
then how, as one of those many secure sites, can I decipher the cookie and read
the authentication information to determine that the user is in fact
valid. Any ideas? We've thrown around the idea of using a Java
Servlet to do the decode, and then set the ColdFusion session variables
accordingly. This is new territory for me, so any help that could be
provided would be greatly appreciated.
