Actually, if you're just authenticating against the database, then you could 
create a service easily in CF and then consume it from the .NET side.  At that 
point, you wouldn't even need the database side to be involved.

Yes, they'd have to create that. If they're unwilling to do this, you
could probably accomplish what you need by interacting with their
login form and action from your own login, via CFHTTP.

No more so than any other HTTP interface, like your application.
