Adding user authentication to an existing application
You can use the Login Wizard to add user authentication to an existing application. The Login
Wizard modifies the existing Application.cfc. If your application uses an Application.cfm file
instead of an Application.cfc file, ColdFusion MX ignores the Application.cfm file when the
Login Wizard creates the Application.cfc file in the same directory as the existing Application.cfm
file.
If your application already contains a file named index.cfm, the Login Wizard creates the file
mm_wizard_index.cfm. You can use your existing index.cfm file without modifying it.
