This is what I typically do:
I have login.cfm that is a recursive page.
I have session.cfm that has 1 if statement in it:
<cfif NOT IsDefined('session.whatever')>
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
</cfif>
I usually include this in my header.cfm or on the pages that I wish to
protect. I know that there maybe(are) 'better' ways to do this. But this has
worked for me every time.
