I have fixed this problem successfully.
The problem was with the referral attribute of the cfldap tag.
After adding this (referral="yes") attribute to my code I am able to login into my website.
<cfldap action="QUERY" server="#application.LDAPServer#" port="#application.LDAPPort#" start="#application.LDAPBase#" name="search" attributes="alias, dn, uid, technicalCareerLevel, locationorgunit, givenName, sn" filter="#filter#" scope="SUBTREE" maxRows="2" referral="yes">
Any way thanks for your assistance!!!!!
