ColdFusion’s <cflogin> Framework

ColdFusion provides a set of tags and functions for creating login pages and generally enforcing rules about which of your application’s pages can be used by whom. The tags are <cflogin>, <cfloginuser>, and <cflogout>. For basic web applications, the framework provides the same kind of user experience as Session-Based security. The main purpose of the framework is to make it easier to secure more advanced applications that make use of ColdFusion Components and Flash Remoting.
