The accounts aren't being locked for a period of time are they Ray? I know you said you inherited the application, perhaps its locking accounts after unsuccessful attempts somewhere, maybe at the DB level?

  Subject: why can't they log in? post II

  I know that a lot of ppl were out for the holiday here in the US yesterday,
  so I thought I might post this again.

  Ray

  I have inherited a rather simple application that has a section where
  listees of an online directory can add/edit/delete their account info once
  logging in to the system.

  I am having a very small percentage of the users telling me that they are
  having troubles logging in.  The system does not allow them to log in using
  their user/pass combo.  Yet, when I look up their account info, I and just
  about everyone else can log in easily.  There is no complicated script,
  basically we are just using cfapplication and a database to check if they
  are registered, and if there is a match in the db, then we set their login
  status to 'logged in'.

  The weird thing about this is that most ppl (there are over 20,000 listees)
  can get in fine.  Just a handful are having problems.  I have verified that
  they are using the right user/pass, they have cookies turned on,
  etc.  Anybody got any idea what the issue may be?  Can firewalls cause this
  kind of behavior?

  Stumped,

  Ray
