Well, it all depends on the webserver you're running. On our dev and prod environments (which are running apache) there's no such thing as auth_password.
On the CFMX stand-alone install, there is a CGI variable called auth_password. But, since I don't really have a way to set it to anything, I can't test whether or not it would actually give you the value. To find out what cgi variables you have available, just do <cfdump var="#cgi#"> Then, remember, that they will change depending on server. (In other words, as I believe Sean or Dave said, "don't rely on them unless you are building for a very specific environment.) -d ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Mische" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 3:51 PM Subject: RE: cgi.auth_password > I don't think it is possible.
