If you wish to pass a db query result into ROLES you must use ToString() on numeric values. eg ROLES="#ToString(query.userRole)#" where the db field 'userRole' is not a string.

I just think that you should mention that cflogin tag is based on cookie enable on the browser... and may be if there are two IE/NS open, the last login will take effect on both browser. Stephane

The entire paragraph under the heading "Usage" is unclear. It's completely useless. It communicates absolutely nothing.

"If Basic HTTP Authentication is in use, ColdFusion checks the standard security data in the request header"

What requested header? Users certainly don't request headers? Perhaps what is meant is "... in the HTTP headers of the requested page (or other resource)". But I'm only guessing.

What ARE the "standard security data"?

"The Cflogin scope within this tag contains the user name and password in the cflogin.name and cflogin.password variables."

What "Cflogin scope within this tag"? There is no inside to this tag that I can see. Does it mean "the scope of the enclosing CFLOGIN tag?

What cflogin structure is being refered to? Where is it; do I have to create it?

The ColdFusion MX (this) version of this reference page was poorly written, and the information in the Usage section actually applies to the cflogin tag.

Both the cflogin and cfloginuser pages were revised to reflect this and improve the clarity for ColdFusion MX 6.1. See http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p73.htm and http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p74.htm.
