When you compare strings using the IS or EQ operators, your comparison is case-insensitive. If you want to perform a case-sensitive comparison, use the Compare function: <cfif not Compare(asod, Attributes.password)> Note that this function returns zero if the strings match exactly, so you can precede it with the NOT operator as shown above. If the strings aren't identical, you'll get a value of 1 or -1, which both evaluate to true in CF's automatic evaluation of integers to boolean values.
