Unless you have control of each Users PC, I don't recommend that you rely on
session cookies to maintain state. MX's "session" cookies are actually
permanent cookies and many Users, myself included, do not allow these types of
cookies to be set. These means that I will not buy from certain sites where
this is a requirements. I recommend that you use URLSessionFormat() around
all of your links so that Users who don't allow permanent cookies can still
use your site.
To manage log-ins, you can either add a column to your User table to track any
log-in limitations or use an application variable such as
application.CantLogInUntil["UserName/ID"]=[allowed time].

Subject: Session variable time out?
When user fails to log in, I want to disable that user
for certain time for example 30 mins. After 30 mins,
he/she can login again.
I prefer to do it in Coldfusion. Can I use session
varible to keep the time for user who failed to log
in. Untill that time is expired, then let them try to
log in again.
Thanks for any help.
