the main reason you don't want to use the registry is because this could corrupt your registry file. If that happens then server goes bye-bye. But the most strongest argument is that client variables are used to share CF information in a clustered environment. If you have several CF servers clustered together and all of them are storing the client information in their own registry, then how are is one CF going to get the client information from another? They can't. Trust, believe me when I tell you, setup a data source EXCLUSIVELY for you client information and ALWAYS use it.

With a limited user base of 6K users, is there a risk involved with using the registry? CC Tony_Petruzzi @sheriff.org To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 03/26/02 Subject: RE: CFID/Token - Easy question 03:38 PM Please respond to cf-talk first off should be using a datasource to store your client variables in NOT the registry. with that said, I usually put my setting to 7 days.

Right now its set to 90 days which seems a bit long, meaning, if I log into the application again I will be using the existing CFID/Token unless 90 days pass before next logon. I would think you would want like a 12 hour setting? That way if a person longs into your application the next day you will get a new CFID/Token or is it best to have 1 person carrying around the same CFID/Token indefinitely, assuming they logged in at least 4 times per year under the 3 month interval?
