Actually, the majority of the applications are on separate domains, and
are not <cfapplication>s. Basically, the idea is to have all entry
to any of the applications pass through the proxy server where the user logs
in. From there they would be able to access any of the enterprise wide
applications which are hosted on various servers throughout our
University. Doesn't seem like the server scoping would work in the
situation.

Subject: RE: [KCFusion] Implementing an Enterprise Single LoginDo you mean that you want to share a login among multiple <cfapplication>'s? You could use the server scope to store your variable. Using a cookie will cause some issues if you try to access it from a separate domain, server variables will over come that. I would be glad to help you set this up if you need help.Bryan LaPlante-----Original Message-----

Subject: [KCFusion] Implementing an Enterprise Single LoginWe 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.Nicole L. Safley
