Problem Description:
cflogin works on one instance in the cluster but is not shared with the other instances
Steps to Reproduce:
create a cluster, set session storage on each one to a Redis server monitor what getauthuser returns as requests rotate through the cluster

<cfscript>
	if (! StructKeyExists(session,"createdtime")) {
	
		cflogin (){
			cfloginuser(name="fred", password="a", roles="user");
		}
		session.createdtime=now();
    
	}
	
    cluster = createobject("component","CFIDE.adminapi.runtime").getinstancename();

	writedump (session);
	writedump (cluster);
	writeoutput(now());
	writeoutput("<br>is here-"&getauthuser()&"-<br>");
	writeoutput("is here-"&isuserloggedin()&"-<br>");
	
	sessionRotate();
	
</cfscript>

Actual Result:

one instance shows "Fred" as the logged in user the others are blank.

Expected Result:

All instances should show user "Fred" as the auth user 

Any Workarounds:

Not that I can see

cflogin can be useful due to the ability to prevent concurrent logins added in added in ACF11 `cflogin(allowconcurrent="false")` - if we can't use it in cluster then that feature is broken.
