How to retrieve userid from html application

[Jean-Noel Colin]

I need the userid to customize the content display to the user according
to his profile. I'm using mod_cas. I found out that the user id is
stored in the REMOTE_USER variable that I could retrieve using some
ColdFusion code. But i'm wondering if this is the best and secure way.

Thanks

Jean-Noel
