It's a snap with CFMX. We are migrating from CF 4.5 and will be doing it that way.
With the new functionality, there is the CFLOGIN tag. This tag has an attribute called APPLICATIONTOKEN. If you set it up so that ll your apps have the same one, the CFLOGIN will not re-authenticate. The key to this system is to setup permissions for each app and use IsUserinRole() for each app to restrict access to non-authorized users if need be. There is an excellent article in the Macromedia Developers area. http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mx/coldfusion/articles/ntdomain.html This article contains many ways of doing it. We use NT security with a custom roles database for each app on the site. Let me know if you need more or code snippets.
