AuthentiX... used it before.. How do you go about tracking who downloaded what and how many times etc? AuthentiX is built with an ISAPI filter that overrides Windows NT security model..(Challenge/Response) and creates an Authenticated user, (CGI.Auth_User) gets populated. The other disadvantage... is the session doesnt time out until the use closes his browser.
I would still advice CFCONTENT and possibly secure the files somewhere other than wwwroot.. without public access and use CFContent to deliver the files. I am not sure... about the overhead...havent seen anybody mention it.

We'd like to use CF to process our logins.. but can't have people directly linking to JPGs and MPGs etc under neath.. since CF can't really protect these individual files unless called through a CFM page, we've run into a problem. How can we accomplish this? We DO own a copy of AuthentiX and unfortunately CFContent is not a viable solution. This site will have upwards of 12,000 simultaneous users and CFContent has too much overheard. Thank you!
