That is helpful, I'll use it in my apps thanks. But I'm still failing to
grasp what I need to understand to apply your technique. If CF generates a
URLTOKEN for each session, how do I use that token, which exists whether or
not you logged in, to equate to "this user has successfully logged in"? Do I
need to store the URLTOKEN in a database and just replace it each time the
user logs in? This then raises Erik Schaareman's issue of timing out. On a
public terminal, until you close the browser, anyone could use the account,
right?
I think part of the void in my understanding relates to client and session
variables. I can't seem to find a list of available variables.
Thanks much for your help.

Subject: Re: FuseBox Replacement of Cookies
If you pass a URLtoken in ALL of your urls <a> <form> and <cflocation>
tags you don't need to use cookies and you can still utilize client
variables.
What cookies allow you to do is have a "remember me" checkbox for your
users when they log in. that way they won't need to login again the next
time they come back to your site.
I've found that I get slightly faster performance (very minimal
difference) by copying client.urltoken over to request.urltoken, AND it
allows me to add additional variables to the URLtoken if necessary.
This is how I do it:
<cfapplication clientmanagement="yes" name="whatever">
<cfset request.urltoken=client.urltoken>
<a href="index.cfm?#request.urltoken#">
<form action="index.cfm?#request.urltoken#">
</form>
<cflocation url="index.cfm?#request.urltoken#" addtoken="no">
Does that help?
