Question

Can ColdFusion determine the user that a client is logged in as?
Developers would love to be able to dynamically determine client workstation login information so as to use this for access control within their own applications. Unfortunately, this information is not available to server side technologies like ColdFusion (if it were, that would present an enormous security risk). The only way to get this information is to have some application running on the client (maybe a Java applet or an ActiveX control, for example) and have it return this information to you.
