Hmmm. that's what I thought too. I've been looking into CFMX roles-based
security.
but this is all the code I'm using. There is no <cfloginuser> tag in use.
<cfoutput>#getAuthUser()#</cfoutput>
<cfdump var = "#cgi#">
the machine with iis5 will also return the correct results for ASP code
<%= request.serverVariables("AUTH_USER") %>
it just seems that in all cases iis5 does the "integrated windows
authentication", adds the correct value to AUTH_USER (for IE anyway) and the
3 ways (above) can display it.
so the questions now are:
* what does <cfloginuser name="xxx" password="yyy" roles=""> actually do
(what processes, is iis involved, is NTLM part of it, etc)
* how come I don't need <cfloginuser> when iis5 is using "integrated windows
authentication" ?

Not quite. GetAuthUser() will return a username that's been registered
with the <cfloginuser> tag. CGI.AUTH_USER won't.
They'll only be the same if you're using web server authentication.
