Thanks. So it sounds like my thinking that this couldn't be accomplished
only through CF client managment is correct.
Why not just use the cookie in conjunction with a CF-managed session? Use
the cookie to note who the returning visitor is, then look up their user
record in a database and establish a new CF session, same as if they'd gone
through a login form?
