So, if I do something like:
<cfif not IsDefined("client.userid")>
<!--- Redirect to login page --->
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
</cfif>
A user logs into a protected forum application from his office computer, CF
sets a cookie which identifies him and associates the client with a set of
client variables.
Now the user goes home and once again is forced to login. This is expected.
Next day, back to the office. Would he be forced to login once again?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to recognize the user from any PC from which
he's logged in once, and not force him to log in each time.
