Well, I'm not crazy, at least. The registry thing works great on CF 4.5. Has this issue been reported?

Yes, I too am getting the normal CFID/CFTOKEN numbers instead of UUID... I have changed it and restared MX but nope, still the same. - Neil -----Original Message----- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 June 2002 09:30 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Killing Client vars session on closing browser. Does anyone recall the registry entry that would make CF 4.5 use a UUID for the CFTOKEN value? That would seem to solve the re-use issue. On a related note, Am I the only one who set up CFMX to use a UUID for tokens in Administrator, only to have it ignore me and use the same old number sequence? I'm storing vars in a db. CFMX created the db's with nice long fields, though. --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 9:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Killing Client vars session on closing browser. NOOO!!!! Kym are you telling me I have been fretting away at this "problem" for nothing because it's not actually a problem at all??? Oh gawd. I'm going to go and have a nap I think.

Hi Mike, Missed all this, been out but... >....And I >also want to solve the mystery as to why the client vars are being >re-issued, because I suspect the two issues might be related. Who says that the CFID and CFToken have to be different every time? I remember in the dark distant past that the algorithm that created them was discussed on this very list. I recollect that they are calculated from various factors, IP address, browser type, etc., and it is quite possible, in fact probable, for the same ID/Token pair to be issued to the same browser at a later time. Whether this still applies I do not know. Add to that the problems of proxy servers, etc., and you can see why client vars are just as unreliable as session vars (and I do know why you are using them <g>) -- Yours, Kym ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
