?? Ok, I'll admit lack of experience here, but wouldn't I authenticate using
mnickelhome or mnickelwork not mnickel? Or as some point during the article
submission process I can choose which user id I want to use??
In any case, I am assuming that I would sign on as mnickelhome. ueue.evolt.org
would set my user_name = mnickelhome and ueue_id are put into the cookie jar.
(right now there is no ueue_id so this is theoretical)
So when I'm redirected back to w.e.o. ColdFusion sets session variables are set by
querying the User table using my user_name cookie. The session values that
ColdFusion sets are exactly the same as they are today... All we would be doing is
altering some of the ColdFusion logic. My user_name should be enough to correctly
Identify me to w.e.o...
Ok, in reality this probably should be USERID instead of user_name (which would be
the WHO field??), but in this example, mnickelhome, should be stored in the USERS
table.

agreed. But some sites might not want to have such a system... They may want one
user = one member so the ueue_id would be enough to identify the user in the
subsite's user tables...
