Sessions vs. Cookies
Cookies
By selecting cookies, ColdFusion will use cookies to manage the client
information. The data is stored in a browser cookie that exists on the clients
system, allowing the server to interact with the client. By default, cookies
are enabled for use with eMPower. Browsers that log into eMPower driven
sites, must have cookies enabled.
Sessions
By selecting Sessions, ColdFusion will use sessions to manage the client
information. The data is stored and managed on the server system which is
based on all the client information for each browser instance. Cookies are
enabled by default, so if you wish to use sessions, you will need to enable it
in the admin setup.
In order for the eMPower application to function correctly using sessions,
the Application and Session variables must be enabled in ColdFusion
Administrator.
Note: Although the Application and Session variables are enabled by default, you
should ensure that they are enabled before proceeding.
Database Settings
If you need a Username and password to access the eMPower database,
you can enter the Username and password in this area.
