Creating a login using simple authentication

When you create a Login using simple authentication, you specify one username and password that all users enter to gain access to your application.

To create a login using simple authentication:

  1. Start the Login Wizard. (See Starting the Login Wizard.)
  2. Select Simple as the type of authentication.
  3. Select one of the following:

    Basic Authentication to use the browser dialog box to prompt the user for credentials

    ColdFusion Login page to prompt the user in a web page

  4. Click Next.
  5. Enter the user name and password that you want users to enter to have access to your application.
  6. Click Next.

    Note: You can specify only one user name and password combination for each application.

    The Login Wizard creates the files necessary to restrict access to your application. The Wizard then displays a list of the files.

  7. To deploy the modified application to your production server, select the check box.
  8. Click Done.
