You have all sorts of options. The easiest would be to simply look for a session variable that you know should exist, and if it doesn't exist you could present the user with the login screen. You might also use the CFLOGIN tag to manage logins, and associate that with the Session scope, although there are some serious known problems with that right now if I recall correctly.
