Have a look at the <CFLOGIN> set of commands. Its a standard command that was introduced in CFMX (6.0) so you won't need anything special to use it. Just look it up in your editors helpfiles or on livedocs. They don't do anything any differently that what you'd code yourself, but if you're not sure what you're doing, or you're having troubles, then it probably is the way to go.
