I'm not sure this would work because it is on 'the first hit' when the
wrong CFID CFTOKEN are being issued, (or actually probably when the
browser is opened), and there's no way of knowing what the right ones
are.I don't believe my setup is unusual in that I have the variable
client.loggedin, person A logs in correctly against a match in the DB
and client.loggedin is set to true.Person B goes to the site shortly
after on a different box and somehow gets given the same CFID CFTOKEN
(I think by the roaming profile thing) so comes in directly as
client.loggedin=true as person A.
Unfortunately I can't test it here on my dev setup as I've only got one
mac (which works perfectly - of course..), but I got all the OSX users
to wipe their cookies on the live intranet so virgin CFID CFTOKEN's
would be issued by CF, but it still happens.
I haven't tried emptying the CDATA and CGLOBAL tables (they're not very
big) but I suspect this wouldn't fix it either.

I'm having a great deal of difficulty with a CF5 driven

two years now.They have introduced some OS X boxes using
roaming profiles from an OS X server.
It seems that cookie storage (MSIE and Safari) is kept in the
profile (rather than the box itself) which in principle is a
good thing - but
-sometimes- it seems to be delivering up the wrong cookies
(ie CFID CFTOKEN), specifically the pair belonging to the
previous person to log in to the Server.It seems to all
work fine if roaming profiles are disabled, but we are
talking about several dozen boxes here and my client would
rather not do this for other administrative reasons.

As far as I can see, this is not a CF problem, rather, an OSX
server / roaming profile problem.As a non-mac person
myself, does anyone have any suggestions and/or know of any
good forums where I might find an answer or a fix?
I don't know anything about OS X roaming profiles, but from a CF perspective
you should be able to fix the problem by using URL tokens instead of
cookies, if you can't resolve the problem from the other end.
