Rails - Jul 2007 - having problems with global variable

Hi all,
I am working on a webapp where a user can login, the login process binds
with LDAP to see if the user is in LDAP. If its successful, I store the
params[:login] to a global variable so I can use that in the rest of the
application.

The problem is:
When i open up two browser windows and login in with two different
users, the variable is set to the user information used in the second
login. So when I switch back to the first browser window and refresh, I
see the second user information. Hopefully this makes sense, if not
please let me know. I will rephrase it.

Thanks,
Dev

That behaviour is to be expected if you are using a global variable... 
What you probably want to be doing is storing it in a session variable 
instead.
