About ColdFusion security
Security is especially important in web-based applications, such as those you develop in
ColdFusion. You implement security throughout your ColdFusion environment, in
ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) and in the ColdFusion Administrator.
ColdFusion has two main security categories: user (or programmatic) and sandbox (file
and directory-based). For more information about user security, see Developing
ColdFusion MX Applications with CFML.
The Security area in the ColdFusion Administrator lets you do the following tasks:
• Enable or disable ColdFusion security, on the Security > Sandbox Security page.
• Configure password protection to access the ColdFusion Administrator.
• Configure password protection for Remote Data Source (RDS) access.
• Restrict access to ColdFusion tags, functions, and enterprise resources (for example,
data sources).
Security and ColdFusion edition differences
If you have the Enteprise Edition of ColdFusion MX, you can configure several security
sandboxes. If you have the Standard Edition of ColdFusion MX, you can configure the
root security sandbox.
