macromedia flash flash remoting: I can not get my flash form to actually login into a ColdFusion application.
I have used Flash forms before for this purpose and had no trouble.

My form sends the login data and returns the AuthUser and the Roles.
This part works because I have tested it in flash and it returns the proper
results.
When I put the file into a ColdFusion application and test it I cant get it to
actually login.

This form can be tested at:
www.digitalrorschach.com/MembersArea.cfm
Username:Jillian Password:Jillian

Here is my ActionScript:

on(press) {

#include "NetServices.as"
#include "DataGlue.as"
if (inited == null)
{
inited = true;

NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway");
myconnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
myconnection.setCredentials(_root.User1.text, _root.Password1.text);

myservice = myconnection.getService("Luciddaydreamer", this);
}
myservice.GetAuthUser();
function GetAuthUser_Result(result){
trace(result) // in testing this returns the expected results everytime
_global.Stats = "Web"
}
}
on(release) {
getURL("BravoBlueDreamer.cfm", "_self")
}


Here is my ColdFusion Code in GetAuthUser.cfm:
<cfif GetAuthUser() NEQ "">
<cfset LoggedStatus = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset LoggedStatus[1] = "#GetAuthUser()#">
<cfset LoggedStatus[2] = #IsUserInRole("Webmaster")#>
<cfset Flash.result = LoggedStatus>
<cfelse>
<cfset Flash.result = "Not Logged In">
</cfif>

Here is the login structure in my Application.cfm:
<cflogin>
<cfif NOT IsDefined("cflogin")>

<cfelse>
<cfif cflogin.name IS "" OR cflogin.password IS "">
<cfoutput>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<H2>You must enter text in both the User Name and Password fields</H2>
</cfoutput>
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
<cfelse>
<cfquery name="loginQuery" dataSource="#Request.DSN#">
SELECT UserID, Roles
FROM Login
WHERE
UserID = '#cflogin.name#'
AND Password = '#cflogin.password#'
</cfquery>
<cfif loginQuery.Roles NEQ "">
<cfloginuser name="#cflogin.name#" Password = "#cflogin.password#"
roles="#loginQuery.Roles#">
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>
<H2>Your login information is not valid.<br>
Please Try again</H2>
</cfoutput>
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cflogin>


Like I said I used this exact same file (making the appropriate changes) and
it works fine on another site.

Any thoughts?
Please?

I figured out a way easier way to do this:

var j_username = _root.Password.text
var j_paswword = _root.UserName.text

This might be silly of me to ask, but your posted code says:


NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway");

Did you change this to the proper URL? Also if your just testing locally, I
think a saw some posts that said to try using 127.0.01:8500 instead of
localhost... just a thought. I know with myself it's usually someting stupid
that I just didn't notice LOL ;)

Sorry, missed the psrt about it actually returning the data... I cant even get
mine to do that! I started with using CF Application, but striped down to a
simple query in the course of debugging. Maybe you could help me. See my post:

[b]" Not Authorized!?!?!"[/b]

Thanks...

In the mean time maybe pondering your problem will help me (or at least
distract me so I can come back to it). I'll let you know If I figure it out.

Looks like your site: www.digitalrorschach.com/MembersArea.cfm is down... I
registered and logged in fine, and was greatly enjoying browsing your
content... but now nothing. Are you using Access DB? That cn often crash and
take CF with it.

Hi
Glad you like the site.
I am still working on it but the login works fine now.
I just finished a super complex remoting project for someone else too.
I added some new pages to my site if you want to check them out.
They can be seen in the members area

Question for ya. I'm attempting something similar, but I have my CFLogin
structure in application.cfm so it runs everytime I try to open a CFC service.
Some of the cfcs don't require a valid login, but here's my problem...

<cfif (validateUser.recordcount eq 1) and
(validateUser.password is hash(validateUser.salt & cflogin.password))>
<cfset userRoles = valueList(validateUser.roles)>
<cfloginuser name="#cflogin.name#" password="#cflogin.password#"
roles="#userRoles#">
<cfelse>
<!--- Send something to Flash saying login failed --->
<cfabort>
</cfif>

How do you catch that failure from the application.cfm in flash? It's just an
application.cfm getting ran...should I just move application.cfm into a set CFC
that gets called and then catch the error that way? This would be a nicer way,
but can't figure out how to get the application.cfm to report something to
Flash.
