var msg:Message = new AsyncMessage();
msg.body = input.text;
msg.headers.gatewayID = "Flex2CF";
msg.setRemoteCredentials("mycfusername", "mycfpassword");
To authenticate the credentials sent in the message, in an Application.cfm or Application.cfc
file, you use the
cflogin
<cfapplication name="authenticateuser" sessionmanagement="yes">
<cflogin>
<cfif isDefined("cflogin.name") or isDefined("cflogin.password")>
<cfloginuser name="#cflogin.name#" password="#cflogin.password#"
