For me the code below always returns
isAuthenticated('sc1'): NO
isAuthenticated('sc1'): YES
Code:
<CFOUTPUT>
isAuthenticated(): #IsAuthenticated('sc1')#<BR>
<CFAUTHENTICATE PASSWORD="siteminder" USERNAME="admin"
SECURITYCONTEXT="sc1" SETCOOKIE="Yes">
isAuthenticated(): #IsAuthenticated('sc1')#<BR>
<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
