Hi All,
I am developing an application for my company in ColdFusion mx 7.
They want a site that has anonymous access to be main site.
From this main site they want the user to try to use his windows authentication to get to an authorized site by a button click.
My goal is to set it up so that the user clicks a button from the anonymous site and gets sent to the authorized site only if they have access.
If they don't have access they get sent somewhere else in the anonymous site.
How can I test if the user is authorized before I send them to the site?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply,
I was actually looking for a way that the clients browser would be able to tell them if they were authenticated or not.

The client's browser won't know.
The first thing you have to do is find out what the criteria is for authorization. Then you have to convert that criteria to cold fusion code.
Is the first thing done yet?

The criteria for authorization would be that if the client is already autehnticated show the site if they are not kick them to a site them to another site they will be able to see.

I don't think your solution lies with Cold Fusion. The most effective way to do it is to put the site behind your company's firewall.
