I'm not quite sure what it is you are trying to store, but here is how we
did it. We used an application (actually it's an ISAPI filter) called
Authentix (www.flicks.com) It does something similar to NT
Challenge/response. You reference the Authentix object using <cfobject> in
your application.cfm, and that tracks what user is connected without
cookies. Then we ran a query against that user in the database for each
request. Of course, all the users info was stored in the Database so I'm
not sure that's what you want, but it worked for us. I would think you
could use CF to retrieve the NT username in a similar manner, and just
database the users' session info.

Subject: cookie form & url -less sessions
hey hey everyone.. here's a dilemma for you.
i've been task with createing an application model for a very large
application that is being gutted and rebuilt. now i've decided that we
need both application and session variables. however the govt doesnt allow
cookies on thier machines.. even for intranets. we have way too much code
to go through and add cfid and cftoken to the url or to form vars.. so i'm
kinda stuck.
the only thing i have going for me is that the users must log in using
challange response, so i know who is who in the application. and with
that, i could add a structure to the application class which bears the
name of the user.. then add variables to the structure from there...
thereby creating a session that lasts untill the server is rebooted.. but
i'd much rather create a session taht times out and expunges the data etc
etc. so my thought would be to create 2 variables in the
application.#username# class that are cfid and CFtoken then use those to
refrence the session... i'm not sure if that'll work tho..
any other thoughts on how this could be done?
