Can anyone provide information on what I'm missing when attempting to use server behavior "Login User". Regardless of what I key in as the username/password the result is the same - redirected to the test page for a successful login, on the initial build of the application the redirect was to the failure page (I scrapped the site and started fresh.)

I was going to post the code but it would not display when viewing this post in Preview.

Thanks to any and all that can help with this problem.

Right now I am using the evaluation copy of Dreamweaver MX 6.0. I ordered MX Studio package on December 31, 2002 so, I am eager to put this particular problem behind me before the licensed version arrive in the next couple of days.

Test Server: ColdFusion 6.0.0.48097
DB = MS Access 2000 9.0.2720
OS = Win2000 Pro 5.0.2195
Browser = IE6.0.26

well assuming all is ok with your login page, does your successful login page check the DB for the username and password?? try the server behavior, RESTRICT ACCESS , if not add this behavior to the "successful login" page

Yes. Restrict Access Based On: Username and Password

Also, I am using the code from technote in the application.cfm file.

cfapplication name = name
sessionmanagement = yes

(I know the syntax is lacking but proper coding will not post here)

Thank you. Any other ideas of where to look?

I initially thought the same thing...the code doesn't display properly in preview...but when you actually POST it it will display correctly...

Post it and I'll take a look...

Ok.

Here is the code:

<cfif IsDefined("FORM.AssocName">
<cfset MM_redirectLoginSuccess="LoginAck.htm">
<cfset MM_redirectLoginFailed="LoginNack.htm">
<cfquery name="MM_rsUser" datasource="BDS Associate" username="system">
SELECT AssocName,AssocPWD FROM BDSAssoc WHERE AssocName='#FORM.AssocName#' AND
AssocPWD='#FORM.AssocPassword#'
</cfquery>
<cfif MM_rsUser.RecordCount NEQ 0>
<cftry>
<cflock scope="Session" timeout="30" type="Exclusive">
<cfset Session.MM_Username=FORM.AssocName>
<cfset Session.MM_UserAuthorization="">
</cflock>
<cfif IsDefined("URL.accessdenied" AND false>
<cfset MM_redirectLoginSuccess=URL.accessdenied>
</cfif>
<cflocation url="#MM_redirectLoginSuccess#" addtoken="no">
<cfcatch type="Lock">
<!--- code for handling timeout of cflock --->
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfif>
<cflocation url="#MM_redirectLoginFailed#" addtoken="no">
<cfelse>
<cfset MM_LoginAction=CGI.SCRIPT_NAME>
<cfif CGI.QUERY_STRING NEQ "">
<cfset MM_LoginAction=MM_LoginAction & "?" & CGI.QUERY_STRING>
</cfif>
</cfif>


Now the application.cfm:
