As an aside, you really don't want to store client data in the registry. Use a database instead. > What is the underlying cause of it? CFID and CFTOKEN are used to uniquely identify a client. If two clients use the same values, they will appear to be the same client from your application's perspective. > 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. There is no session management parameter in the CF Administrator to let you use cookies instead of URL parameters. Within the CF Administrator, you can specify whether session management is enabled, what the default and maximum timeouts are, and in CFMX, whether you use J2EE or CF session tokens. If you're talking about client management, there is an option to use cookies to store the actual client data. This is somewhat independent of whether you use cookies or URL parameters as client tokens. If your application is specifically looking for URL.CFID and URL.CFTOKEN, you would need to rewrite your code if those variables didn't exist. You could probably just set URL.CFID equal to Client.CFID, and URL.CFTOKEN equal to Client.CFTOKEN, within Application.cfm as a relatively easy workaround. > OR > > Can I set the addtoken=no in the cflocation and prevent the > tokens from being append to URL..

Check to see if cookies are being set.
