Security is especially important in web-based applications, such as those you develop in ColdFusion MX. ColdFusion developers and administrators must fully understand the security risks that could affect their development and runtime environments so they can enable and restrict access appropriately.
You implement development security by requiring a password to use the ColdFusion MX Administrator and a password for Remote Development Services (RDS), which allows developers to develop CFML pages remotely. You implement runtime security in your CFML pages and in the ColdFusion MX Administrator. ColdFusion MX has the following runtime security categories:
User security Programmatically determine the logged-in user and allow or disallow restricted functionality based on the roles assigned to that user. For more information about user security, see ColdFusion security features in Securing Applications in ColdFusion MX Developers Guide.
Sandbox security Using the ColdFusion MX Administrator, define the actions and resources that the ColdFusion pages in and below a specified directory can use.
Note: If you have the Enterprise Edition of ColdFusion MX, you can configure multiple security sandboxes. If you have the Standard Edition of ColdFusion MX, you can only configure a single security sandbox.
The Security area in the Administrator lets you do the following tasks:
