I know this is a stupid question, but I still want to be sure I'm doing this right. I have a 'Portal' which is tailored to individuals. I'm using session.userid to identify individual users so I can do lookups, etc. as specified in their various profiles.
I want the session variable to last around 4 hours... this I'm using: <cfapplication name="vaughn_student_portal" sessionmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,4,0,0)# applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,4,0,0)#> When the session.userid is set I'm wrapping it in CFLOCK (like below). Please confirm... I only need that lock to hold long enough to set the variable (in case multiple people are logging in at the same time) and DO NOT need it for the entire session. <cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" timeout="20"> <cfset session.userid="#getprofile.student_user_id#"> </cflock> Does this look correct?
