Easy. Assuming you set a Session variable called IsLoggedIn, put the
following code in your Application.cfm:
<cfif NOT (IsDefined("Session.IsLoggedIn") AND Session.IsLoggedIn) AND
FindNoCase("login.cfm",CGI.PATH_INFO) EQ 0>
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
</cfif>
In other words, if they are not already logged in, and they are not on the
login page, force them to the login page. (The latter is necessary to
prevent endless loops.)
Adjust as necessary for your application.
