David,
Can you post the strings you used from the 4.5 install.
I tried playing around with this a bit with no success.
There seemed to be quite a few extra ones in the interface for 5.0.
I am also finding the same problem with the authentication cookie.
You can, of course create your own encrypted cookie containing security
context, username and password and put a cfauthenticate tag at the top of
the application.cfm and pass the decrypted values in as attributes.
It's an awful hack, but it works.
The problem I am hitting now is that the cfa_userget tag expects the old
userdirectory structure with username and groupname as fields. So if you
could post the strings you used I should be able to use the old
userdirectory and have a fully working webtop.
