Session variables across servers

Hey all, We've got a weird temporary issue.. We have two websites, on different servers under different domains. They need one login for both sites. My understanding is that J2EE Session variables will persist between servers/domains. How do you implement this in ColdFusion? Thanks sas -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell)

Session will persist between two domains if you have the same cfapplication on both sites and keep passing in the same cfid and cftoken values when going from one domain to another. Session replication between physical servers is another thing.  You need to be running ColdFusion enterprise, and have your application deployed as an instance on both machines which are part of a single JRun cluster. At that point, there is a setting in CFAadmin for session replication. ~Brad Hey all, We've got a weird temporary issue.. We have two websites, on different servers under different domains.

Brad, Does this involve activating J2EE session vars Thanks sas -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) Session will persist between two domains if you have the same cfapplication on both sites and keep passing in the same cfid and cftoken values when going from one domain to another.

If you're using cookies for your session tokens, they can't be shared across domains, whether you're using J2EE session management or not.

Thanks Dave, I'm looking for different possibilities.... it's a rig until they move the sites to the same server... sas -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) > We've got a weird temporary issue..

You're right, however I'm the "contractor" on an established team so I have zero say in this . -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) Scott Stewart wrote: > I'm looking for different possibilities.... > it's a rig until they move the sites to the same server...
