There are a bunch of application changes between CF 5 and later versions. However, you cannot store session data in the registry. You can only store client data in the registry, and I wouldn't recommend that you do that anyway. Session data is (and has always been) stored in memory. In addition, with CF 6.x and higher, there are two ways that users can be identified. The use of CFID and CFTOKEN values is the old way, the use of JSESSIONID is the newer, J2EE-compliant way. To enable JSESSIONID use, there's a checkbox in the CF Administrator's page on memory variables labeled "Enable J2EE Sessions". Do you have that checked? If so, there won't be any values for CFID and CFTOKEN.
