They are 100% correct; there is no CFMAGIC cookie in ColdFusion MX 6/6.1/7. This was something created to migrate the CFID/CFTOKEN cookies up to the domain level back in CF 4.0 (I think, it was a long time ago) because we were including BrightTiger load balancing and we wanted client variables to work on the domain level (i.e. SetDomainCookies). Here are the comments from the old CF 5.0 code: /* We have a migration issue with Domain cookies. Here is how it works: If new user (no id/token), just set the domain cookies, including a "magic" cookie. If we found id/token on URL, use those. If we have id/token, check for a "magic" domain cookie which indicates that the id/token comes from the domain and is good. If we don't have the magic domain cookie, we need to delete the host cookies and set the domain cookies along with the magic one. If the magic cookie does not match the id/token we have on hand, delete the host cookies (which is probably where we got the values) and set the domain cookies to the right values. */ This logic does NOT exist in ColdFusion MX. The reason this was added was to facilitate existing applications wanting to add load balancing to existing applications. It did not get implemented in the Java MX rewrite. You will not be able to get a CFMX server to set it.
