How to end the session after logging out in ColdFusion - coldfusion

I'm using CFML for my application. I need help with developing a logout operation that destroys a session. For now, on the logout link I'm calling the login page but when the BACK Button on the browser is clicked the user is still logged in.
<!---LoginForm.cfm>--->
<!---Handle the logout--->
<cfif structKeyExists(URL,'logout')>
<cfset createObject("component",'authenticationService').doLogout() />
</cfif>
<!---Form processing begins here--->
<cfif structkeyExists(form,'submitLogin')>
<!---Create an instane of the authenticate service component--->
<cfset authenticationService=createObject("component",'authenticationService') />
<!---Server side data validation--->
<cfset aErrorMessages=authenticationService.validateUser(form.userEmail,form.userPassword)>
<cfif ArrayisEmpty(aErrorMessages)>
<!---Proceed to the login procedure --->
<cfset isUserLoggedIn=authenticationService.doLogin(form.userEmail,form.userPassword) >
</cfif>
</cfif>
<!---Form processing ends here--->
<cfform>
<fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
<cfif structKeyExists(variables,'aErrorMessages') AND NOT ArrayIsEmpty(aErrorMessages)>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop array="#aErrorMessages#" index="message" >
<p >#message#</p>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cfif structKeyExists(variables,'isUserLoggedIn') AND isUserLoggedIn EQ false>
<p class="errorMessage">User not found.Please try again!</p>
</cfif>
<cfif structKeyExists(session,'stLoggedInUser')>
<!---display a welcome message--->
<p><cfoutput>Welcome #session.stLoggedInUser.userFirstName# </cfoutput>
<p>Logout</p>
<cfelse>
<dl>

</fieldset>
</cfif>
</cfform>

</cfquery>
<!---Check if the query returns one and only one user--->

<!---doLogout() Method--->
<cffunction name="doLogout" access="public" output="false" returntype="any">
<!---delete user from session scope--->
<cfset structDelete(session,'stLoggedInUser') />
<!---log the user out--->
<cflogout />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Regarding the back button after logout, the situation being that someone could log off and walk away from their computer without closing the browser or locking it. Then anyone else could go back on their browser and view the data they had been viewing before logging out.
We solved this for a financial application by implementing a Pragma: no-cache header on every page request. This forces requests to the page to reload from the server, not just load what's in the browser's cache. This means the back button will request the previous URL from the server, which will check session and kick you to your logged out landing page.
It will throw off some users who are used to navigating your site a certain way, but it will make it much more secure.

Getting "method onRequest was not found" Error when binding CFC in cfselect in CF9. Works fine in CF8

I am getting error saying "Error invoking CFC componentname.cfc : The method onRequest was not found in component ..\filepath\Application.cfc".
This works fine with CF8 but not CF9 with same code. Both environments use Apache and Fusebox 5. The method onRequest exists in application.cfc.
Please help.
CODE FOR CFC BIND:
<cfselect name="officeNum" id="officeNum" bind="cfc: userYODSU.GetOfficeList({empID},{fy})" display="officeNameTxt" value="officeNum" bindOnLoad="true"><option value="">---</option></cfselect>
Code in APPLICATION.CFC

Fusebox 4.1 did not set attributes.fuseaction or default the fuseaction variable until
*after* fusebox.init.cfm had run. This made it hard for fusebox.init.cfm to do URL
rewriting. For Fusebox 5, we default the fuseaction variable and set attributes.fuseaction
before fusebox.init.cfm so it can rely on attributes.fuseaction and rewrite that. However,
in order to maintain backward compatibility, we need to allow fusebox.init.cfm to set
attributes[_fba.fuseactionVariable] and still have that reflected in attributes.fuseaction
and for that to actually be the request that gets processed.

I dunno why you'd be getting the error you're seeing, but in CF9 you don't need to do all that horsing around deleting onRequest(), you can simply have an onCfcRequest() method in there, which'll get called instead of onRequest() when requests for CFCs are made. So doing that could remove the situation in which the error situation arises.
Finally I was able to resolve this issue. I figured that the error shows only in the localhost but not on any servers. Also, found that the problem was only with the cfselect with bind cfc. I didn't see any difference with the settings in localhost and other servers. So I tried some changes to the fusebox code and fixed it. Following change in fusebox5.cfm made it working.
<cftry>
<cfset __fuseboxAppCfc.onRequest(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME) />
<cfset __fuseboxAppCfc.onRequestEnd(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME) />
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset __fuseboxAppCfc.onError(cfcatch)>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
Changed this to:
<cftry>
<cfif right(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME,"4") NEQ ".cfc">
<cfset __fuseboxAppCfc.onRequest(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME) />
</cfif>
<cfset __fuseboxAppCfc.onRequestEnd(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME) />
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset __fuseboxAppCfc.onError(cfcatch)>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>

Adobe ColdFusion, CFGrid is not populating after get login an navigate the page,

I tried to bind a CFGrid in ColdFusion through a CFC function which works correctly, but after login when I tried to surf to the page the CFGrid does not get populated with any records.
Here is my grid.cfm code:
<cfform name="GridForm">
<cfgrid format="html" name="UserGrid" pagesize="10" selectmode="row" bind="cfc:Consumer.getUserinfo({cfgridpage},{cfgridpagesize},{cfgridsortcolumn},{cfgridsortdirection})">
<cfgridcolumn name="FirstName" width="300" header="FirstName" />
<cfgridcolumn name="LastName" width="180" header="LastName" />
<cfgridcolumn name="UserName" width="120" header="UserName" />
<cfgridcolumn name="Age" width="60" header="Age" />
</cfgrid>
<br/>
</cfform>
And here is my cfc function:
<cfcomponent output="false">
<cffunction name="getUserInfo" access="remote" returntype="struct" >
<cfargument name="page" required="true" />
<cfargument name="pageSize" required="true" />
<cfargument name="gridsortcolumn" required="true" />
<cfargument name="gridsortdirection" required="true" />
<cfif arguments.gridsortcolumn eq "">
<cfset arguments.gridsortcolumn = "FirstName" />
<cfset arguments.gridsortdirection = "asc" />
</cfif>
<cfquery name="GetUser" datasource="MyDatabase" >
select *
from UserInfo
order by #arguments.gridsortcolumn# #arguments.gridsortdirection#
</cfquery>
<cfreturn queryconvertforgrid(GetUser, page, pagesize) />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Why doesn't this grid get populated after the login?
I recommend using the developer tools / javascript console in Chrome. Turn on log XMLHTTPRequests. Then, next time you reload your app, the console will show you all of the ajax calls your app is making and if they succeed or fail.
If you have a failing request you can right click on it and open it in a new tab to see the error details just like you would normally trouble shoot a problem.

Can't get my reCaptcha to work on my ColdFusion form

I signed up for reCaptcha, got my private/public keys, made my recaptcha.cfm and put the code in my form. The form renders perfectly when you go to the URL but it submits even when the person doesn't put anything in the captcha. This is the code for my recaptcha.cfm and I have the relevant code for the form page commented out in recaptcha.cfm under "Sample." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Use the reCAPTCHA API to verify human input.
reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that
cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for
humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read
correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is
possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read
correctly.
You will need a key pair from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey to use this tag.

That custom tag is badly out of date. You need to update the URLs because Google changed them. Change them to this:
CHALLENGE_URL = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
SSL_CHALLENGE_URL = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
VERIFY_URL = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/verify";
I have posted an updated version of this custom tag as a Gist here: https://gist.github.com/2210356

When i do it this way it works. it must be something trivial that i as a beginner do not get.
Application.cfc

</cfoutput>
There are two things I see wrong here:
First, To my understanding, using the 'this' scope in application.cfc doesn't work the way you're trying to do it. By setting your userGateway object to an application scoped value, it becomes globally available and really makes returning it in onApplicationStart unnecessary. In your application.cfc, change your returntype to boolean and just return true; that should fix your problem.
Second, if in your query, your arguments and conditionals are not proxies of what you actually have, you're referencing an argument 'personid' which does not exist in your function. When calling that query through an object call in the application scope, I've seen the java string error returned as an error before as opposed to the CF Friendly 'variable doesn't exist' error.
In same.cfm, run this:
<cfset OnApplicationStart()>
Then refresh the page again. Does it now work?
<cffunction name="init" access="public" hint="constructor" output="false" returntype="UserGateway">
should be:
<cffunction name="init" access="public" hint="constructor" output="false" returntype="Any">
The following line is incorrect:
<cfset application.userGateway = createObject("component","cfc.UserGateway").init(dsn = application.dsn) />
It should read with out "cfc." at the beginning of the component name you want:
<cfset application.userGateway = createObject("component","UserGateway").init(dsn = application.dsn) />
Also, double check the rest of the application.cfc for correctness because something isn't running right, as you should have seen this error that it couldn't find component cfc.UserGateway.
EDIT:
I also forgot to mention that onApplicationStart does not need to return anything. The return type should be void and no <return this/> needs to be present.
Could it be this:
http://kathylynnward.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/lyra-captcha-error-element-captcha-is-undefined-in-a-java-object-of-type-class-ljavalangstring/
(I'll elaborate the post if this is the problem)
restart your CF service might help.

NTLM Authentication in ColdFusion

Is there a recommended (and preferably free) way in ColdFusion to access a remote file that is protected by NTLM authentication? The cfhttp tag appears to only support Basic authentication.
This CFX Tag - CFX_HTTP5 - should do what you need. It does cost $50, but perhaps it's worth the cost? Seems like a small price to pay.
Here is some code I found in:
http://www.bpurcell.org/downloads/presentations/securing_cfapps_examples.zip
There are also examples for ldap, webservices, and more.. I'll paste 2 files here so you can have an idea, code looks like it should still work.
<cfapplication name="example2" sessionmanagement="Yes" loginStorage="Session">
<!-- Application.cfm -->
<!-- CFMX will check for authentication with each page request. -->
<cfset Request.myDomain="allaire">

<cfelse>
<!--Invoke NTSecurity CFC -->
<cfinvoke component = "NTSecurity" method = "authenticateAndGetGroups"
returnVariable = "userRoles" domain = "#Request.myDomain#"
userid = "#cflogin.name#" passwd = "#cflogin.password#">
<cfif userRoles NEQ "">
<cfloginuser name = "#cflogin.name#" password = "#cflogin.password#" roles="#stripSpacesfromList(userRoles)#">
<cfset session.displayroles=stripSpacesfromList(userRoles)><!--- for displaying roles only --->
<cfelse>
<cfset loginmessage="Invalid Login">
<cfinclude template="loginform.cfm">
<cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cflogin>

<cffunction name="stripSpacesfromList">
<cfargument name="myList">
<cfset myArray=listtoarray(arguments.myList)>
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#arraylen(myArray)#" step="1">

out<br>--->
<cfset myArray[i]=trim(myArray[i])>
</cfloop>
<cfset newList=arrayToList(myArray)>
<cfreturn newList>
</cffunction>
This is the cfc that might be of interest to you:

If the code from Brandon Purcell that uses the jrun.security.NTauth class doesn't work for you in cf9 (it didn't for me) the fix is to use the coldfusion.security.NTAuthentication class instead. Everything worked fine for me.
You could try following the guidance here: http://cfsilence.com/blog/client/index.cfm/2008/3/17/ColdFusionSharepoint-Integration--Part-1--Authenticating
Here is what it boils down to you doing:
edit the client-config.wsdd
Change
<transport
name="http"
pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender">
</transport>
to
<transport
name="http"
pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender">
</transport>
In my case I fixed this problem using 'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server'
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Web-Browsing-Behind-ISA-Server-HOWTO-4.html
work fine for me :)
