Name
IsAuthenticated
Synopsis
IsAuthenticated([securitycontext
])
Returns true
if the user has been authenticated
for the given securitycontext
using
cfauthenticate
. ColdFusion returns
true
if the user has been authenticated or
false
if they haven’t. If no
securitycontext
is given, ColdFusion
returns true
if the user has been authenticated
for any security context. The IsAuthenticated( )
function is commonly used within an Application.cfm
file. In order to use the IsAuthenticated(
)
function, Advanced Security needs to be enabled within
the ColdFusion Administrator, and a valid security context must
already be defined. The following example uses
IsAuthenticated( )
to determine if a user is
authenticated for a security context called
Administrator
:
<cfif not IsAuthenticated("Administrator")> <cfauthenticate securitycontext="Administrator" username="#Form.username#" password="#Form.password#"> </cfif>
