Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I scoured the web and this list as best I could, and didn't find a suitable answer.
I would like to apply a username and password to some web services I'm creating in CFMX 6.1. I naively assumed that either the <cfcomponent> or <cffunction> tag would have username/password attributes that would allow me to assign those values. I figured, hey, there's a username and password field on the cfinvoke tag that passes those values to a web service--shouldn't there be the opposite feature on the web service itself? Obviously, there is not. So then I tried assigning a username and password to my test web service within the CF Admin interface. A very annoying way to have to do it, but if it works, I can live with it. Well, imagine my surprise when I tried to invoke that web service *without* passing a username and password. I assumed the service would kick back some kind of error, but instead, it actually kicked back the data. So, that seems to suggest that the username/password field within the CF Administrator is useless. Obviously, there's something I'm missing here, but I am at a loss to figure out what that missing piece is. Any help is appreciated.
