I have an alternative to Mark's suggestion I would like to suggest. If you
set "setclientcookies" to "No", you don't need the cfif statement because
then you can just set them manually.
You can also set the EXPIRES attribute of the cookies if you want to time
them out in synch with your session/client timeout limit. That way, for
example, you can have the client *AND* server effectively timout at the same
time.
Also, I don't think he meant it this way, but just in case you took it this
way, Mark's example shows how you would use session AND client variables in
the same app, which I have never seen a good reason to do.
Lasty, I hvaen't been folling the thread, so feel free to shoot me if it's
already been discussed, but I would not store client vars in cookies as
Mark's example code showed unless you have a really good reason.
<cfapplication
name="app_name"
clientmanagement="Yes"
setclientcookies="No"
applicationtimeout="#createtimespan(2,0,0,0)#">
<cfcookie name="cfid" value="#client.CFID#">
<cfcookie name="cftoken" value="#client.cftoken#">
