I am using ColdFusion 2018 on a Windows 2016 server. ColdFusion is fully updated.
I work in a University setting and end users have little to no control over their ie settings. All computers are (supposedly) kept to the same settings. If they aren't end users can't change them. Compatibility mode is set to on and pushed to all computers.
I am unable to reproduce this issue on my computer in Chrome, ie or any other browser. Some users, with no real rhyme or reason that we can identify, lose their session variables when they open a new window from a link.
Here's how it works:
User logs in, session variables are set. userID and sectionAccess are two of them.
User search for an employee
User gets an employee list
User clicks on a name
New window opens with complete employee details
For SOME users, the session variables are just disappearing. We can't figure out why, and there doesn't seem to be a connection between the users or their computer settings. Laptop or desktop.
The problem is also not consistent. This just came in an email from one of the affected users "I also tried again in IE and first it worked, and then logged out and tried again and it didn’t work the next few times."
It works as expected at all times on my computer and my home computer (a mac.) My computer is Windows 10, with ie 11.1565.16299.0
This is my application tag:
<cfapplication name="theSite"
clientmanagement="yes"
sessionmanagement="yes"
setclientcookies="yes"
sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,60,0)#"
applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,60,0)#">
Has anyone experienced this? How do I fix it? Again, I have no control over browser settings.
Thank you

I want to make a GTK application, plus sockets and DB. My system is Debian 11, Gnome environment. But before starting building it, I could not answer or find an answer to the question of user authentication with further access to the client part of the application.
For instance, login window appears, user wants to sign up and proceeds to fill the necessary entries. Then, when validation succeeds, main window pops up, but all the changes and activity in the app since then will pertain only to that specific user. And if a user wants to open the app again (I guess, there will be a session time limit, after which login window will appear again - but that is another question, let's forget it), everything will be restored and displayed as it was since the last time that user was logged in.
I only found, that all those user changes and information should be saved as a cache on client machine, with only little part in DB. Unfortunately, I am new to desktop application development on Gnome and desktop application development in general.
So, how to store that information/client app state, where and just how it works on Gnome specifically?
Good Afternoon, never seen this one before in my years of working with Windows but im at a loss to try and find the solution to this one.
When users log on to their desktops as Non-Admin accounts, there are particular applications they need to run as different users due to the way some of the systems work. A load of system policies where updated for security at group policy level however now something strange is happening when the user initiates a RunAs by holding the shift key down or if they attempt to remote desktop to another machine, the NLA Windows Security box that prompts for credentials takes 5/10 minutes to appear.
When the user hovers over the taskbar icon, then over the window without clicking the Windows Security box displays as full screen missing the username and password box but when you click on it nothing happens and just disappears. Eventually after a few minutes the windows security box will appear and can log in as normal however the users jump into systems adhoc and cant be waiting for minutes at a time to put their credentials in which could cost a lot of user down time during the day.
I have tried looking at the security log but as you can imagine its filled with all sorts and trying to locate one specifically without knowing the issue is difficult at best. Has anyone had this issue before that can point me in any direction. I have to assume this is permission related on the devices trying to access something locally because when i log on to the devices with an account in the administrators group all these issues disappear and the windows security works as normal. Also, if they click "Run as administrator" they get the UAC credential box so i don't believe this is UAC related as its working by design just anything with "Windows Security" prompts. I should point out that whilst this is waiting - the File Explorer icon highlights under "Run As" like the explorer is waiting to do something.

For anyone reading this - although bizzare as it is...
It turns out it was McAfee Disk Encryption - there was a bug in the local FDE security provider causing it to hang every time it was accessed.
Update your McAfee FDE Client/Agent to the latest version
Tested on a few other computers, the basic authentication is definitely working on IE11 for other computers. However, on my computer, I can't seem to get a username/password to prompt for IE11. It does work on all the other browsers installed on the computer.
I've tried reinstalling IE11, deleting all sorts of cache/credentials, changing various internet security levels, changing User Authentication to "Prompt for user name and password" on each zone. I've also tried in private browsing.
I have a feeling it's either a windows setting or an IE11 setting at this point. Any direction would be wonderful.
IE11 Version: 11.836.18362.0
I am not sure what settings you have modified in the IE 11 browser so first I suggest you reset the IE browser.
After that set Logon option to Prompt for user name and password for the desires zone.
If you are trying to authenticate with a different origin then enabled the Access data sources across domains under Miscellaneous category.
Let us know, whether it helps to fix this issue or not.
If the issue persists then try to provide more detailed information. Like which OS build you are using and information about the site.
Running into a strange issue with a Windows 7 image. Three years ago, I wrote a Powershell script which took a basic Windows 7 image (with only the Administrator account on it) and the script adds all the user accounts, applications, programs, regedits, et al. Used sysprep to complete the image so it could be cloned using Clonezilla onto several hundred computers and go out to different sites, as well as create replacement PCs down the line.
Those original PCs we used ran out and we got a different line of PCs from the same maker, again with a Windows 7 operating system and just an Administrator account. Found out this time the person who created that basic image for me did not put a password on the Administrator account as they did the first time, so it was automatically logging on for me. Added a password to the Administrator account so it wouldn't auto-login.
Ran my script after making some edits to bring applications up to date. Now after rebooting, it not only tries to Auto logon (despite everything I've checked to make sure Auto logon was disabled), but when you click OK to get past the Auto login error, it only shows the Administrator account instead of showing Administrator along with the other two account icons. You then have to click "Switch user" and it will show only "Administrator" and "other user". You have to click on "other user" and input your account name and password.
How do I get it back to showing me all three account icons - Administrator plus my other two user accounts - after a reboot?
PS - these images were loaded onto the PCs by a person from another dept. Same person three years ago as currently.
I finally discovered from a worker in another dept that Microsoft changed Windows 7 so that the last user logged in is the icon that is shown after logging off or rebooting. Love how Microsoft always "fixes" things that don't need fixing.
A user of my website is having a problem that I can't reproduce. It is maddening to debug, because all I can really ask the user (nontechnical person) is their OS version and browser version.
Is there an extension for Chrome/Firefox, or any other software, that can basically record the user's session with a webpage from the client perspective? Akin to everything you'd see in the Chrome Developer toolbar, recorded into a "dump" file that I could analyze? Files downloaded, DOM loaded, javascript events, etc.
Im not sure about a extension for Chrome/FireFox but you could use software such as Windows Remote Desktop or TeamViewer if the User was willing to allow you access to their CPU. Depending on the issue, you might also be able to check your server log files to see where the user is getting an error.
Another solution might be to write a script to keep track of what is clicked by users who visit your webpages. I believe GreaseMonkey add on for Firefox might help you with this.
