History
ColdFusion MX 6.1: Changed behavior: if the Session scope is enabled, and the cfapplication tag loginStorage attribute is set to Session, the login remains in effect until the session expires or the user is logged out by the cflogout tag.
ColdFusion MX: Added this tag.

Usage
Used inside the cflogin tag to identify the authenticated user to ColdFusion. After you call this function, the GetAuthUser and IsUserInRole return the user name and role information.
