I've not used it, I've only heard that it's buggy... That being the case, I've never found creating a "home grown" login solution to be difficult in any way, so I continue to do that... Besides which, you kinda have to build your own "home grown" login solution even if you use them anyway, since it actually handles very little of the user-authentication process. I have heard that if you decide to use <cflogin> you also need to use <cflogout> prior to the <cflogin> tag to make sure the previous user information is cleared prior to the new login. I do think the tags have some built-in OS-integration features that wouldn't be easy to replicate "from scratch", although I personally have never needed them -- we had similar features for windows-security integration in previous versions of CF and I never needed those either. I would expect you'd only run into a situation where you want that in a corporate intranet environment. But I'm no expert on it. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:202211 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
