Are you locking the seesion variables?.......a test would be to switch to
client variables and see if you still hget the same problem.

Incedentally.  If you want to maintain sessions regardless of whether the
user has session level cookies swithched on or off then I'll post a bit of
code which you stick in your application.cfm that will solve this.

Subject: Application.cfm, Session Management, and a lot less hair!


Good Morning (Evening) Everyone,

Okay this problem has me completely baffled.  We have an administration
module for a client with a login page that sets some session permissions.
Subsequent pages then look for the appropriate permission using
CFApplication.  Everything works fine on our end but when we implemented on
the client site they cannot get into the administration module...very secure
but useless!  ;-)  I have supplied the error they are getting and the
CFApplication tag.

The only way I have been able to replicate the error is by disabling the
browser's ability to accept cookies on our internal network.  This then
causes Cold Fusion to throw the error.  I have tried it on a number of
different machines that we test on and the Cold Fusion application worked on
all of them.  However, when I try the application on some machines external
to our network they almost always fail but some do allow access to the
administrator module.  They have been set to accept cookies so that doesn't
seem to be the problem.

It is the intermittent nature of this problem that is causing me the most
trouble in trying to solve it.  Please note that we have never had a problem
from our development machines.

If anyone has any input on this problem I would really appreciate hearing
from you...

Ken
