CFCOOKIE - how to handle, subdoman and domain authentication
Hello (last question today - promise) I have the following two domains domain.com subdm.domain.com Both these domains use the same login system however, I'd like each site to have an individually unique cookie. So if a user logs into a main domain (domain.com) it does not carry over to the subdm.domain.com I'm running into issues now that are causing conflicts between the two cookies and breaking the sites. I have the following settings domain.com CFCOOKIE domain value = .domain.com subdm.domain.com CFCOOKIE domain value = . subdm.domain.com Does anyone know why this would cause a conflict?

The first cookie is set to work with any host within that domain. Your subdomain is also within that domain. If you want separate cookies, give them different names.

Dave, Thanks for the reply. Could you provide an example by what you mean by different name? They use the same login system, I just need it to be specific to the main domain or a unique subdomain. Does that makes sense?

Thanks for the reply. Could you provide an example by what you mean by different name? cfcookie name=yourcookiename1 ... cfcookie name=yourcookiename2 ... They use the same login system, I just need it to be specific to the main domain or a unique subdomain. There's no way to make a cookie specific to a domain, but not to the hosts or subdomains within that domain.

Nate: To get the effect you're after, I'd suggest automatically pushing people from domain.com to www.domain.com and setting the cookie from there. -- Roger Benningfield ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:297797 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: CFCOOKIE - how to handle, subdoman and domain authentication
I haven't tried this yet, but in reviewing the docs on this tag I wonder... Domain in which cookie is valid and to which cookie content can be sent from the user's system. By default, the cookie is only available to the server that set it. Use this attribute to make the cookie available to other servers. Must start with a period. If the value is a subdomain, the valid domain is all domain names that end with this string. This attribute sets the available subdomains on the site upon which the cookie can be used. For a domain value that ends in a country code, the specification must contain at least three periods; for example, .mongo.state.us. For top-level domains, two periods are required; for example, .mgm.com. Maybe if you try the domain set to .www.domain.com and ..subdomain.domain.com. It allows 3 periods in the documentation. You can also add a bit of code to the login page that detects if the user is on the 'domain.com' or the 'www.domain.com' address. If they are on the 'domain.com' address you can have the page reload itself as the 'www.domain.com'. I don't have time to test this for you, but it is worth a shot. William -- William E.
