What about setting an IsAuthenticated (or something like that) variable.

In the file1.cfm page, you would have at the top something like this:

 

<Cfif Session.IsAuthenticated EQ �1�>

            Code here

<Cfelse>

            <Cflocation template=�Login.cfm� Addtoken=�No�>

</cfif>

 

This way, no matter how many times they access this file directly, if the session variable is not there then they are always sent to the Login page.

 

In the login page, you would set the variable there. Assuming that you are using some type of query to authenticate the users:

 

<Cfif q_someQuery.RecordCount GT �0�>

 

<Cflock>

<Cfscript>

                        Session.IsAuthenticated = 1;

</cfscript>

</cflock>

 

</cfif>

 

 

.

 

Also, you may want to set some default parameters in the Application.cfm file, such as:

 

<Cfparam Name=�Session.IsAuthenticated� Default=�0�>.

 

Of course, this is only one of the ways that I do this, and I believe that it is pretty simple. I am sure you will get other ideas sent to you. Also, on the CFLOCK tag, I did not add any variables. You would want to do that

 

HTW,

Hi everyone!

 

I would like to know how to control the files in a folder using login & password...

1.- I have a X folder... and in this folder exist... index.cfm, result.cfm and file1.cfm.

2.- The people HAVE TO login before see the file1.cfm, they cant access typing directly in the browse http://domain/X/file1.cfm, before it, they must login...

3.- what do I have to put in the first line in the file1.cfm to redirect the people that is not logged to the login.cfm page?

 

Thanxs in advanced...

 

Javier
