Yea, I'm getting confused a bit.

I'm looking at my openBD dump of a request page, and in the .CGI
struct I see the following variables

AUTH_TYPE
AUTH_USER
REMOTE_USER

I was doing some googling and I found this w3 document about http and
looked at the 'authentication' section.

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

It says http authentication is for users who want to authenticate with
a server. My userbase that user's need to authenticate to is not part
of the server's user list. I have a database setup and the login
script creates a session in OpenBD.

If I want remote applications to be able to access the API i create
with cfc's, should I just create a cfc function called 'login' that a
remote app would send a username and hashed pw too, and the function
would create a session? Am I correct in that sessions still stick if
you create one via CFC remotely? Or no?
