The Security section of the Administrator lets you configure the security frameworks of ColdFusion MX.
For more information on security, see Administering Security.
The Security section contains the following pages:
You use the CF Admin Password page of the Administrator to enable and disable password-restricted access to the Administrator, and to change the Administrator password. You should restrict ColdFusion MX Administrator access to trusted users.
You use the RDS Password page to enable and disable password-restricted RDS access to server resources from Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Macromedia HomeSite+, or the ColdFusion Report Builder, and to change the RDS password.
You use the Sandbox Security page (called Resource Security in the Standard Edition) to specify security permissions for data sources, tags, functions, files, and directories.
Sandbox security uses the location of your ColdFusion pages to determine functionality. A sandbox is a designated area (CFM files or directories that contain CFM files) of your site to which you apply security restrictions. By default, a subdirectory (or child directory) inherits the sandbox settings of the directory one level above it (the parent directory). If you define sandbox settings for a subdirectory, you override the sandbox settings inherited from the parent directory.
Use sandbox security to control access to the following:
Note: If you have enabled sandbox security and want to use the Administrator API, you must enable access to the CFIDE/adminapi directory.
