What error did it give? Is it possible you're missing sessionmanagement="yes" in your <cfapplication> tag? It is definitely possible to set session variables inside CFCs, however as Dave Watts mentioned earlier it's better practice to not directly write to persistent scopes from a CFC.
A possible solution could be to save your login variables to the variables scope within the CFC (local CFC variables), then put your CFC in the session scope and call methods in it instead of accessing session.auth.
