Web-server-based authentication user security example

The example in this section shows how you might implement user security using web-server-based basic authentication and two roles, user and administrator.

This example has two ColdFusion pages:

• The Application.cfm page logs the user into the ColdFusion security system and assigns the user to specific roles based on the user's ID.

  This page also includes the one-button form and logic for logging out a user, which appears at the top of each page.

• The securitytest.cfm page is a sample application page. It displays the logged-in user's roles.

This simple example does not provide a user log-out interface You can test the security behavior by adding your own pages to the same directory as the Application.cfm page.
