Well I wouldn't normally do it that way, but CFLDAP doesn't return an empty
query like a SQL query would; if the user authentication fails, it just
throws an error.  So my calling page receives the same thing it would
receive if the authentication were against a sql database, that being an
empty table...  I don't know if that's justification or not though.

I actually already modified it to return a Boolean and was going to ask -
where would my retrieveUser function live?  If I have authenticate.cfc,
which I've modified to call cfldap.cfc instead of tying LDAP to my
authentication function, should retrieveUser be a part of authenticate.cfc?
A different component altogether?
