Session variables not cleared

• Level security line with session variables, not recommended?

  Hello

  We are on the point of implement security level line in our project of BI using OBIEE, and the solution that we found more convenient to our requirement was to use session with blocks of initialization variables.

  The problem is that this method is listed as "not recommended" in the Oracle documentation.

  Administration of alternative security options - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

  (This appendix describes alternative security administration options included for backward compatibility with improved systems and are not considered a best practice.)

  The Session Variables management

  Session system variables get their values of initialization blocks and are used to authenticate Oracle Business Intelligence users against external sources such as LDAP servers or database tables. Each active session of BI server generates session variables and initializes them. Each instance of session variable can be initialized to a different value. For more information on the use of variables and blocks of Oracle Business Intelligence session initialization, see 'Use of Variables in Oracle's BI repository' in Oracle Fusion Middleware metadata repository Builder of Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

  How confused... What is the best practice then?

  Thank you for your help.

  authentication / authorizing the part is dealing with weblogic and then initialized the variable USER and you can use it for any initblocks for safety.

  Block of init to authenticate / variable session and authorization are different, I guess that you mix the two.

• Values of session variables not updated according to the values in the table

  Hello
  
  I have a problem with one of the session variable that is based on the USER login.
  
  My session variable "DeptID" has all the values associated with the user. I have in my external table, the USER and its corresponding departments. My init for this variable block is something like
  
  Select "DeptID", dept_id of user_table where user =': USER ';
  
  Now I use this variable on my main dashboard prompt and I'll show the results in the command prompt based on the results of sql. Here is my SQL something like
  
  SELECT 'Department '. "" Department name ""SH"where"Department. "" ID Dept ' = VALUEOF (NQ_SESSION. ("" DeptID ").
  
  With this method, everything works well and the command prompt displays the correct values.
  
  But the problem arises when a new Department is added to the current user. When new departments are assigned to the user, the new values does not appear in the drop-down on the line of dashboard until and unless the cache is purged and the server is restarted.
  
  Thinking that the cache is the issue, I have disabled the cache also in the nqsconfig.ini file. But then as the new values is not displayed. I see that in the file nqquery.log that the old values are sent to the database, that that is the session variable does not get updated with the new values according to the external table.
  
  You could someone please let me know what I'm missing here?

• PHP Session variable in-app

  Hi, I'm pretty sure it's a n00bish question, but I'll have the session variable is problem when between php execs.

  So when the user connects, user id is stored in the session variable so I can use it throughout the app. However, the session variable is clearly not stored and throws a fit. I figured exit() destroys the session but that is not the case.

  I can, however, create a local variable for the user id, but I wondered how session variables are stored and retrieved.

• Variable not defined session immediately after CFSET session.var = "data".

  Hello, everyone.

  Got a real head scratcher (of least for me that is.)

  Just to experiment a little, it is not (yet) project, but something I would like to as reusable code for future projects.

  I try to write code that will clear session variables when the browser is closed, - THEN - separate session variables to the client by changing and expiring cookies cfid and cftoken.

  In my Application.cfc, I have the following:

  onSessionStart:
   <cfif NOT StructKeyExists(session,"app")><cfinvoke component="components" method="setDirs" returnvariable="session.app"></cfif>
   <cfset oRequest = getPageContext().getRequest()>
   <cfset session.cookies = oRequest.getHTTPRequest().getCookies()>
   <cfcookie name="cfid" value="#session.cfid#">
   <cfcookie name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#">
   
   onSessionEnd:
   <cfloop index="local.cookiename" list="cfid,cftoken,cfmagic"><cfcookie name="#local.cookiename#" value="" expires="now"></cfloop>
  

  On the page that appears, I have:

  <cfset session.cookies = getPageContext().getRequest().getHTTPRequest().getCookies()>
   <cfoutput>
   <cfloop index="idx" array="#session.cookies#">#idx.getName()# = #idx.getValue()# - Expires: #idx.getMaxAge()#</cfloop>
   </cfoutput>
  

  The above is where appears the error message "Cookies" not defined in the Session  Didn't I just put session.cookies, twice?

  Thank you

  ^_^

  You can't.

  To change a browser cookies, you must communicate with the browser.  This is done when the CF server sends the HTTP response for a request for this browser.

  onSessionEnd() - by its nature - only works when it is not communicating with the browser, and has not been any communication from the browser at least the period [session timeout].  So you can monkey with the scope of the cookie all you like in there, but the changes are never sent to the browser, because the browser has long since "left the building" as it was.

  HTTP is connectionless, and the browser is not communicating with the CF Server in any case (him speak only of browser on the web server), there is no way for the CF server know that the client has closed his browser.  Everything that takes place on the client machine, and CF is sitting on the server see  Even the web server does not know what is happening on the client user interface.

  What you can do is to put the cookies and session to have a very short time, so that expire them quickly once there is no activity to refresh.

• Clear cache and session variables

  If I write the code on the homepage of a Web site to clear users cache whenver they sail on it, it clears all session variables that where defined within the site? What I want to do, is to ensure that the users cache is erased when they get first on the site. Within the site there are t connection of different places in the course of which variables are defined for the user. If this is done, and then the user accesses the homepage, their session variables will be lost? If so, can anyone suggest a good work around for this.

  Thank you

  Sessions are tracked using cookies, so as long as you do not delete their cookies they stay connected.

  In the case of a doubt: try it!

• session variables does not

  Hello

  I use a cf 9.1 application and session variables do not work.  TestPage.cfm sets a variable of session.rage and has a button to access page 2 where I cfdump the session and there is no variable defined rage here.  I work with legacy where apparently this habit of working code.  Help?  CFAPPLICATION tag below:

  < CFAPPLICATION NAME = "advapp" SESSIONMANAGEMENT = "Yes" SETCLIENTCOOKIES = "Yes" ClientComm = "Yes" APPLICATIONTIMEOUT = "#CreateTimeSpan (0, 24, 0, 0) #" sessiontimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan (0, 0, 45, 0) #" >

  Sorry, they worked, I went to a different base URL that their invalidated. that is my url has been

  http://server_name/APP_NAME/dir/page.cfm

  and I was going to

  http://server_name/new_app_name/dir/page.cfm

  I think that session is only valid for the base App., if you switch to a new app a new session is created.

  Problem solved.

• Why Variable Session is not changing to the narration when prompt changes

  Hi all
  I use a session variable (month_name) in a query of dashboard that is filled by a dash line (via the Variable value: query Variable in the creation of the command prompt).
  I use the session variable in a query filter and it does not work when I ask for a different month name. If I add a column to the query with the value of the session variable, it is changed with the command prompt.
  
  I also the variable session in a narrative view and who is there that the rub == > when data is initially displayed (I by default value of guest to help a variable in the repository with the month preceding the current month), the value of the variable session is in narrative mode and displays correctly However, when the month has prompted changes, the narrative point of view remains the same as what was originally displayed. The data is changed (through the filter using the session variable) with the new value led, however.
  The session variable is set to 'allow any user set the value.
  
  I tried all kinds of variations on the narrative syntax next view:
  ... *@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.month_name']}*
  I tried to leave out quotes, put just quotes the name of the variable such as NQ_SESSION. "month_name", using double quotes. Nothing seems to work
  
  Any ideas?
  Thank you!

  Hi user,
  (1) shoot a dummy column in Fx uses the Session---> (--> session Variable) variable
  (2) then goto view narrative into narrative view section, use @1
  (3) If you want you can hide the column that we created in the criteria section

• Session Variables do not persist

  Hello everyone, I am writing an app to work where a user connects to a system and then adds and removes entries from a database via a web application. I use session variables to store the ID of the user and the permissions of this user. I get through the connection very well. After clicking on a link on the following points if the page ("a href =" link) session variables are not available on the next page. I don't understand why the session variables are not persistent throughout the site. In my application.cfm I < name cfapplication sessionmanagement = "true" sessiontimeout = "App" = "#CreateTimeSpan (0, 1, 0, 0) #" > any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  I solved the problem. The problem was that the CFID and CFTOKEN variables have been changed from one page to another page in my site. It was because I was using http://app/... http://###.###.###.###/... and a few pages in other pages. I was using the name of the server for some intellectual property for some and FC saw these different sites and changed the CFID and CFTOKEN variables, so my session have not persisted through the site.

• not getting no not session variables

  I must be missing something. I thought that once you set the session variable in the file application.cfc then used cfset on the home page to set the session something, variable he remained active until you logged out/completed the session/browser closed, etc.. But mine are not carry more than one page of the form on the next page. I also need them to stay if a person leaves the folder that contains the application.cfc page. I have to use < cfset session.id = ' #form.variable # ' > on all pages or file application.cfc needs to have it somewhere in my onRequestStart function? If a person goes out of the folder containing the .cfc file and go back to the page of maintenance should not the variable session remain still active? Any help is greatly appreciated. Wendy

  Yes, the session will normally persist even if you leave the
  "application" for which it is defined. Of course the session timeout is
  ticking. When the user is using another section of the site that
  is a different or indefinite application or even completely different web
  sites, the session timeout is not reset. If it expires before
  they come back while the session will no longer exist.

  But as long as the user returns to the application before the session
  expires, the session variables will still exist. And as long as the browser
  Returns the required for the session ID's they will be able to access to the
  State of the previous session.

  Under normal circumstances, in any case.

• IsDefined / Session Variable / application.cfm - does not

  Greetings-
  
  If someone can throw a glimpse as to why the second
  scenario below does not work like the first?
  
  < < < < First scenario > > > > (work)
  
  [Main folder |-secure_access]
  [file] - login.cfm
  [file] - authenticate.cfm
  [file] - application.cfm
  
  [Sub folder] - secure_access/view
  [file] - first_page.cfm
  [file] - second_page.cfm
  
  [file] - application.cfm
  < name cfapplication = "CF_Password2."
  ClientComm = "Yes" sessionmanagement = "Yes".
  SessionTimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan (0,0,2,0)" # ""
  applicationtimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan (0,0,2,0)" # ">"
  
  The variable session.ual is defined on the
  Authenticate.cfm page saved in database.
  
  A person accesses the login.cfm file to the main folder and between appropriate username and password and the product. The login.cfm page passes on the the authenticate.cfm and is checked against a database, and if the record found, go to first_page.cfm.
  
  [file] - first_page.cfm
  < IsDefined ('session.ual') cfif >
  < p > < a href = "second_page.cfm" > to the second page < /a > < /p > "
  < cfelse >
  < /P > < p > access denied
  < / cfif >
  
  [file] - second_page.cfm
  < IsDefined ('session.ual') cfif >
  < p > This is the second page < /p >
  < cfelse >
  < /P > < p > access denied
  < / cfif >
  
  After a period of two minutes, if I update the first_page.cfm or try to click on the second_page.cfm file, I get the message 'access denied '.
  
  < < < < Second scenario > > > > (does not work)
  
  [Sub folder] - secure_access/view
  [file] - application.cfm
  [file] - first_page.cfm
  [file] - second_page.cfm
  
  
  [file] - cfapplication.cfm
  
  < IsDefined ('session.ual') cfif >
  
  < cfelse >
  
  < /P > < p > access denied
  
  < cfabort >
  
  < / cfif >
  
  In the second scenario, I added an application.cfm file check to see if the session.ual variable is present. If it is, then the process must continue and first_page.cfm, with subsequent to second_page.cfm and of course link display where the post.
  is not the case.
  
  I have the impression that placing the application.cfm in this folder and checking the session variable, covers all pages in the file rather than having to add the verification code to each page.
  
  What Miss me in this process? I'm sure it's something simple and I've just dealt with this too long. Perhaps a new set of eyes on the situation can enlighten us to the right way for me to accomplish my task.
  
  Thanks - Leonard B

  That's what I thought.

  But when a request is made for a model based in the sub folder, only the
  Application.cfm IN this FOLDER gets run. If one main folder
  NOT run. And it is the one in the main file that implements the
  parameters of the session with .

  One thing that confuses people - perhaps you, in this case - is there
  nothing particular Application.cfm or tags, in itself, in
  with regard to the persistence once they have been executed the first time (the application
  Scope is something different; who IS persistent between requests).

  So to be able to access your session variables, you must hit that
  tag * each * request *. Sessions of the people are based in part
  the CFTOKEN and CFID values sessions, but also the name of the application
  (different applications have different sets of session variables). The
  the application name must be set to each request (via a tag),
  otherwise CF don't know where the request is for the application.

  I think that all you need to do is add<>
  "model = '... / Application.cfm" > at the top of your file under "
  Application.cfm.

  Who is?

• integer variable from session and not float

  I set the session variable:
  Select 10 double
  The value entered is "10.0".»
  I tried
  Select to_number (to_char (10)) double
  but it returns the same thing.
  
  Is there a way to establish that it is '10'?

  Hi Nir,

  What would you say to select '10' of the double? Besides where and how do you refer to the variable in the web?

• Value of the session Variable does not get updates.

  Hello
  I have a Session variable, I am assigning it an initial value [3] during the loading of the page. But, during the drop value menu selection and the "submit" button hit, I update the value of the Session variable.
  The update is unsuccessful and the session variable is preserved the initial value. Here's the code used to assign the value to the Session variable:
  
  < ISdefined ("FORM.submit") cfif >
  < cfset Session.numTasksDisplayed EQ #FORM.filter # >
  < cfelse >
  < cfset Session.numTasksDisplayed EQ 3 >
  < / cfif >
  
  When to use cfoutput after these instruction to check the value of the Session variable, its gives me the initial value of 3. Form.Filter is the value from the drop-down list menu option selected.
  #FORM.filter # #Session.numTasksDisplayed # < cfoutput > < / cfoutput > < cfabort >
  
  Any help is appreciated.
  Thank you and best regards,
  Vijayvijay77.

  First of all, you cannot use EQ with CFSET comparison operator. It should result in an error. If this is done on the bottom, there will be an error and nothing is set.

  Also, are you sure that FORM. Offer exists during the validation of the form?

• Session ends not with StructClear function

  Normally, if you want to delete a session we do with StructClear function. But I don't see that it does not end in a user session because the same CFID and CFTOKEN values exist once we've cleared a session. This means so that it is not really ends a session. right?. But if we are expiring these cookies (CFID and CFTOKEN) values then we can see new values for these cookie variables. Here force us coldfusion to new values for these variables cookie but actaually there neither expired nor onSessionEnd() handler has been invoked.

  So my question is how effectively ends the session. But it won't work if we use StructClear function because it erases a logical business identifier as reported in your business logic.

  Anyone have any ideas on that.

  Suppose that you set your session timeout to 2 minutes.

  When you visit the page, you start a new session, CF generates a CFID/CFToken and SENDS that back to you in response to your first request.

  When you visit a page before the session, your browser sends the CFID/CFToken with demand, CF sees this, check the this is a live session and does not issue you a new.

  If you wait 2 minutes of a session timeout, CF kills the session, but not FACT NOT to MESS with your Cookies.  It doesn't matter, because they are invalid anyway.

  When you make a request, you send the CFID/CFToken now old, CF sees that it is not correlated to a live Session and generates a new CFID/CFToken it sends to you now and you update the cookies with the new values.

  A session expires on the server is NOT because ColdFusion deletes the cookies from the user's browser.  It States only that "for this combination CFID/CFToken, the session no longer exists, so let me generate a NEW session for you and send you it is CFID/CFToken to correlate your visitor to the new SESSION scope.

  In the meantime the timeout and check your cookies should show the last cookies you had when you request.  Nothing new.

  In your onSessionEnd() method, it will BE the old values because when the session expires, this method gets a COPY of the scope SESSION and APPLICATION, (the SESSION just expired) and it's the old data CFID/CFToken.  CF performs as one might expect.  What you trying to do?  I think that the problem here is that you don't understand how work sessions.

  A SESSION that CF is when he takes a cookie CFIF/CFToken provided the user request and checks to see if it is valid.  If so, then all the variables stored in the SESSION scope are made available for the processing of this application.  These cookies act as a means of your browser, say who they are.  By default, Session values are stored in RAM.

  When you do not apply for an amount of time specified in the THIS.sessionTimeout value, CF mess with cookies on your computer.  He says simply.  "Hey, these variables that I wanted for the SESSION which was for CE CFID and CFToken THIS, well, delete them.  The session has expired.  The browser will not see anything different either until he makes another request.

  When you make a request, once again, your browser provides CF CFID and CFToken cookies, but this time CF says ' Hey, that the session has expired, so I'll make a new one for you (lights off the coast of the onSessionStart() method) and he referred to a new CFID and CFToken cookie to the user who now matches the new session.»  A session that will stay alive as long as the user makes requests in the specified time-out period.

  If you have deleted your cookies, the SESSION would still be ALIVE, but it would simply be inaccessible, and after the time-out value, SEE it would expire.  But if you have deleted your cookies, to present a request to the server, we're no. CFID/CFToken cookies sent, so CF would create a new session for you and will send you a new CFID/CFToken.
