Really ? I have:
Server Product ColdFusion Server 
Version 4, 5, 1, 0 
Edition Professional 

And the advanced security was an option during install. Are you saying it is
there but wont work ?

Well, at the moment it's failing at the cfauthenticate tag, so I haven't got
as far as needing to use IsAuthenticated yet.

Intrestingly, the 'Availdible Users', only shows local groups... is that
right ?

:nods
It's not very well documented at all, and I've got a database based 'face
ready to go, but I'd really like to be able to offer a single logon to our
users, which means using their NT logon to auth. to ColdFusion.
