Josh Adams - Benefits of Integrating CFML with ASP.NET
With all the talk today about BlueDragon.NET, it's easy to think that
that's all that BlueDragon is
about. There are in fact other editions of BlueDragon, including a
standalone server (more familiar
in concept to traditional ColdFusion server) and an edition that deploys
CFML on any J2EE server in
just 3 steps. Beyond the different editions, there are also many
advantages to using BlueDragon, and
it's about a lot more than just some new tags and functions. Come learn
the many advantages that
simply make existing CFML run better, make managing the CFML engine
easier, and make troubleshooting
CFML coding errors a breeze

Nate Nelson - CFMX7 Admin API in Depth
Many developers are interested in the CF Admin API that is available for
CFMX7, but many also find
that it is difficult to follow because there is so much there. This
topic will get into some great
uses of the API and go through the main pieces to help developers
understand it. This topic would
include many examples with take home code.

Thanks CFUNITED attendee Christian Ready for making the podcasts!
* Fusebox new website in prototype phase
Sandy Clark and the Fusebox website group have produced an
HTML prototype. Once comments on that are complete they will
be moving the layout to Farcry for the live site. Way to go
guys! For more info on the group see

* 10 reasons to attend CFUNITED

* Interview with Raymond Camden on "Authentication and Basic Security in CF"
Michael Smith: This time we are talking with Raymond Camden about
his CFUNITED-07 talk "Authentication and Basic Security in CF".
So why should a developer come to your session Raymond?
Raymond Camden: Almost every application has some kind of need
for a secured module. This class will cover how to add
authentication (asking a user to prove who they are) and
authorization (allowing some users to do more than others) to
your ColdFusion application.
MS: That sounds important. Is this something that a beginner
programmer will be able to code? Is it hard to do in CF?
RC: It isn't hard to do at all. But it is one of the things that
folks just learning the language may not quite know how to do.
MS: Cool. So authentication - is that just a long way of saying
login? :-)
RC: Yes. ;) It is a formal way of saying, "Prove the you are who
you say you are."
MS: What does logon code look like?
RC: Normally you simply prompt the user to enter a username and
an password.
MS: What about forgotten passwords and how to store passwords? Do
you cover that too?
RC: Not in the time I have for the presentation, but if there is
time at the end, I'll discuss it.
MS: BTW aren't there some free authentication tools in your
http://www.CFLib.org project?
RC: There are items related to security, but not full login
systems.
MS: Ok. I really recommend that folks check out CFLib - lots of
neat stuff there. So are there any gotchas for beginners in this
topic?
RC: Not really. It is really a simple thing but not something
normally covered in the docs.
MS: Will you have any code samples that folks can take home?
RC: Absolutely!
MS: Excellent! So what is this authorization stuff about? What
are some practical applications?
RC: Essentially the idea is - Some people can do some things, and
other people can do other things. So for example - maybe you
allow people to write articles for your site, but you do not
allow them to publish articles.
MS: I will look forward to seeing you at CFUNITED

--- Authentication and Basic Security in CF
************************* This class will give a basic

authorization (some users can do X, some can do X and Y).
