correct me If I am wrong!one easy solution I thought was to check if the
<@CGIPARAM NAME="referer"> is empty in every TAF file.if it is empty then we
can actually redirect him to access denied page.

I might be wrong in giving this solution.But it sounds good to me for if the
other user is trying to access the page directly.

THANX IN ADVANCE
