Cookies for one, cookies for all?

Featured Replies

Cookies are cookies, right? If another system sets a cookie, can I access it as an FMP cookie?

DETAILS:

I work at a university that has a campuswide authentication system through the web based on cookies (and tokens?). I want to use that authentication system for my FMP databases rather than my own but I have to be able to parse and check that cookie's data and send info to the authentication server. They provide cookie-processing programs for apache/perl/php but I'm using FMP/WC and want to use CDML.

Any wise sages out there know if I'm doomed before starting and can save me some time and trouble? Any other recommendations (lasso or others)?

Thanxalot, ST.

Yes, you can mix Cookies.

For example, you can set one with FM and read it with Javascript. We do this to maintain a RecordID through pages which do not need to be processed by WebCompanion.

All the best.
