cflogin troubling

I have a simple login page and i wanna use cflogin..

Due to some unknown cause i am haing issues, i am unable to sort it out why:

My Login Form

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2" width="100%">
<caption>
Login
</caption>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="default" align="center">Please enter your Username and Password below and click Login.</td>
</tr>
<cfif IsDefined('invalid')>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2" class="errString">#ToString(ToBinary(invalid))#</td>
</tr>
</cfif>
<tr>
<td align="right" width="25%"><strong>Username : </strong></td>
<td width="340" align="left"><cfinput type="text" name="j_username" message="Error! Please Provide username" tooltip="Provide Your Username" required="yes" class="textfield_effect" id="j_username" tabindex="1" size="25" maxlength="100"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="default" align="right"><strong>Password : </strong></td>
<td width="340" align="left"><cfinput type="password" name="j_password" message="Error! Please Provide Password" tooltip="Password Required" required="yes" class="textfield_effect" id="j_password" tabindex="2" size="25" maxlength="100"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="default"> </td>
<td align="left"><cfinclude template="captcha/captcha.cfm">
<cfimage action="captcha" fontSize="25" width="200" height="50" text="#rndString#"
fonts="Arial,Verdana,Courier New" difficulty="medium" quality="1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="default" align="right"><strong>Verify Yourself :</strong>
<cfinput type="hidden" name="userInput" value="#rndHash#"></td>
<td align="left"><cfinput type="text" name="regVerifyCaptcha" message="Error! Provide Captcha Value" tooltip="Provide Exact Text as above in Image" required="yes" class="textfield_effect" id="regVerifyCaptcha" tabindex="3" size="25" maxlength="10"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" class="default"> </td>
<td align="left"><input type="checkbox" name="RememberMe" tabindex="4" value="Yes" <cfif IsDefined("cookie.j_username")> CHECKED</cfif>>
<em>Remember Me</em></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
                  <cfif StructKeyExists(URL,'returnurl')>
      <cfinput type="hidden" name="returnurlvalue" value="#ToString(ToBinary(returnurl))#">
<cfelse>
      <cfinput type="hidden" name="returnurlvalue" value="index.cfm">
</cfif></td>
<td align="left"><cfinput type="submit" name="login" value="Login" class="searchButton" tabindex="5">
  
<cfinput type="reset" name="reset" value="Clear" class="searchButton" tabindex="6"></td>
</tr>
</table>

now my check.cfm page:

now it goes to the check.cfm and stops there when the returnurlvalue is defined like:

http://127.0.0.1/project/index.cfm?action=addtofav&ID=44

so it stops there

if there is default value of index.cfm in the returnurlvalue, it works fine.

Confused why it is beahving awkward

what is the value of returnPath right at the time of refresh?

Can you add this?

<cfoutput>
Return path is [#returnpath#]<cfabort>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=#returnpath#" />
</cfoutput>

I'm curious why you want to use cflogin when it seems you are using session variables as well. That just means you have to maintain two login states at one time..

well i am being of a fan of cflogin and also wanna use the session variables so they are specific to use in some cases like email, full name etc etc..

ok i added the following and i get this:

Return path is [index.cfm]

the above is returned simply beacsue i used the login with returnurlvalue set to INDEX.cfm default if returnurlvalue value passed in url is null. now my second case scenario:

now with value passed in url is:

Return path is [http://127.0.0.1/project/index.cfm?action=addtofav&ID=33]

gdemaria

which scenario works and does not work?

Coast Line

ASKER

second one does not work and sometimes both do not work but mostly the lastone

Coast Line

ASKER

Return path is [http://127.0.0.1/project/index.cfm?action=addtofav&ID=33] this one is the mostly does not work

gdemaria

can you be more specific when you say "does not work"

what doesn't happen? Do you get an error, does the page not refresh, the page does refresh but the session is not kept....

Coast Line

ASKER

some time page does not refresh, sometimes it refreshes, sometimes it work and sometimes it is not..

is my code perfect or am i missing something..

gdemaria

If the problem is that the refresh is not working, and everything else is fine, you can test the refresh further by removing the other code and trying just the meta refresh line. See if it works by itself or perhaps the other code is effecting it.

ok cflogin made me so crazy that i left it and came to simple way: no have another trouble..

it does not validate my captcha..

you will ask me why i used this:

<cfif request.captcha IS 1>
<cfelseif Hash(Form.regVerifyCaptcha) NEQ Form.userInput>
<cfset invalid = "Error! Captcha Text Mismatching, Try again">
<cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
</cfif>

like i have a config file at backend where i can enable and disable captcha.. if request.captcha is 1, it means it is enabled must validate if the value is not entered from front end..

but it is skipping the value and logging with any captcha value

please guide now what i am doing wrong

<cfparam name="returnpath" default="#form.returnurlvalue#">
<cfif len(form.cusername) IS 0>
	<cfset invalid = "Error! Please Provide Username">
    <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
<cfelseif len(form.pwd) IS 0>
	<cfset invalid = "Error! Please Provide Password"> 
    <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
<cfif request.captcha IS 1>    
<cfelseif Hash(Form.regVerifyCaptcha) NEQ Form.userInput>
	<cfset invalid = "Error! Captcha Text Mismatching, Try again">
    	<cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
</cfif>           
<cfelse>
  <cfinvoke component="#request.cfcPath#.tools" method="members" nusername="#form.cusername#" npassword="#form.pwd#" returnvariable="MM_rsUser"/>
  <cfif MM_rsUser.RecordCount NEQ 0>
    <cftry>
      <cflock scope="Session" timeout="30" type="Exclusive">
        <cfset session.email = #MM_rsUser.email_addr#>
      	<cfset session.loggedin = true>
      	<cfset session.user = #MM_rsUser.user_name#>
      	<cfset session.userID = #MM_rsUser.user_ID#>
      	<cfset session.role = #MM_rsUser.user_role#>
      </cflock>
      <cflocation addtoken="no" url="#returnpath#">
      <cfcatch type="Lock">
       <cfset invalid = "Error #cfcatch.Detail# #cfcatch.Message#">
       <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
      </cfcatch>
    </cftry>
  <cfelse>
  <cfset invalid = "Error! Incorrect Credentials, try again">  
  <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
  </cfif>
</cfif>

This CFIF statement is NOT validating when request.captcha is 1

<cfif request.captcha IS 1>

Do NOT VALIDATE

<cfelseif Hash(Form.regVerifyCaptcha) NEQ Form.userInput> ----- VALIDATE

<cfset invalid = "Error! Captcha Text Mismatching, Try again">
<cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">

</cfif>

I think you wanted to say...

<cfif request.captcha IS NOT 1>

ASKER

let me try

either the request.captcha IS 1

btw i still tried this way:

<cfif request.captcha IS 0>
<cfelseif Hash(Form.regVerifyCaptcha) NEQ Form.userInput>
      <cfset invalid = "Error! Captcha Text Mismatching, Try again">
      <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
</cfif>

it did not worked either neither it worked this way:

<cfif request.captcha IS 1>
<cfelseif Hash(Form.regVerifyCaptcha) NEQ Form.userInput>
      <cfset invalid = "Error! Captcha Text Mismatching, Try again">
      <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
</cfif>

it just skips the captcha

gdemaria

You said that you want to use captcha if request.captcha is 1

If you use this statement

<cfif request.captcha IS 1>
(Do Nothing)
<cfelseif.....

It will enter that CFIF where you have no code, and captcha will be ignored

gdemaria

Lol, of course, it will only get to those lines of code if the password is EMPTY !!!

<cfif len(form.cusername) IS 0>
     <cfset invalid = "Error! Please Provide Username">
     <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
<cfelseif len(form.pwd) IS 0>
     <cfset invalid = "Error! Please Provide Password"> 
     <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">

     <cfif request.captcha IS 1> 
        
     <cfelseif Hash(Form.regVerifyCaptcha) NEQ Form.userInput>
          <cfset invalid = "Error! Captcha Text Mismatching, Try again">
          <cflocation addtoken="no" url="index.cfm?action=login&invalid=#ToBase64(invalid)#">
     </cfif>           
<cfelse>
