Security Functions

ColdFusion supports advanced security contexts that let you create complete security systems, which secure your applications. Security is managed and maintained using the ColdFusion Administrator. Once security is established, you can make a call to the <CFAUTHENTICATE> tag in order to return security information. Use these security functions to interact with that security information.

IsAuthenticated

Description: IsAuthenticated checks to see if a user has been authenticated with the <CFAUTHENTICATE> tag. IsAuthenticated takes two parameters: the user to be checked and the security context to be checked against. IsAuthenticate returns TRUE if the user has been authenticated, FALSE if not.
