Huh? I thought we went through this when I first tried to share the session info between the .asp shop and the coldfusion interactive stuff. What happens is the members of the site go through the shop to be validated as members or to take their money and make them members, then they can move around the whole site. Without membership status they can only move around the free area. The "logged in" status is set by the .asp part of the site.
Matt, you're saying we get the .asp side to write all the session data to a database (like CF's client vars) and then we access that with CF? That's a far better way to do it than we have been, but how does CF know which session data to retrieve from the database, given that the CFID and CFTOKEN values are not the same between .asp and CF?

You don't need to use HTTP and connect to the CF server to share session information. Serialize the session data to a database or a file system and share that way.
