I am having a huge problem right now, I have an application where I am using 
CFID/Cftoken as part of URL parameter.  They are currently being maintained in 
the registry.

One of my clients emailed the URL (entire URL) to another individual (who does 
not use this application at all) in totally different location.

When that user clicked on the link, he was logged in as the Client and was able 
to access the entire system.

Huge Security Issue here.

What is the underlying cause of it?

If I change the session management parameters though the CF Administrator to 
use cookies, is there other major work (code re-write) I need to do, since the 
application has been developed using cfids/cftokens in the URL.

OR

Can I set the addtoken=no in the cflocation and prevent the tokens from being 
append to URL..  If yes, are there any major repercussions.  Will this work.
