Thanks for suggestion We are trying it but must be missing something.
If we log in on the portal server itself, the cookie values can be accesses and viewed, so they seem to be being set. but when we log on at a workstation the cookies don't seem to being set or are disappearing between pages. being set on log in page <CFCOOKIE name="userid" value="1"> on next page just simply trying to output it. <CFOUTPUT> #cookie.userid# </CFOUTPUT> outputs find on server, but not on client. what are we missing?

All you need to do is make sure the cookie is defined (or kick them to a login form), and use it's value (session_ID) to yank that users security details (joining the session table to the security table via user_ID). Bookmarking isn't a problem, because once they close their browser the cookie is gone (being non-persistent). Hope that made sense...kinda busy today ;-) If ya need more info...just ask.
