Override CGI variables
Posted on 2006-06-20
We are using the CGI Variable of Authenticated user for a lot of our applications. Is there a way to override that with a specific value so that we could "trick" the page into thinking someone else is logged in. Basically, there is one person getting errors that no one else is getting. I'd like to "log in" as that person and see what happens.
Thanks

YOu should be able to treat the cgi as just another struct.
<cfset cgi.AUTH_USER= "new value">
These would have to be set on every page to do this though. Below is a list of the cgi's Just in Case...

ouch. So it's not like I could put that on one page that they hit and then it will override it for the session?
