For information editing existing user configuration, see Edit User Configuration.
User Sandboxes
If you change the pages or sandboxes to which a user is allowed access while that user is logged in to the Administrator,
the changes take effect only after the user logs out, and then logs in again. For details about creating sandboxes, see
“
Administering Security
” on page 110.
Exposed Services
ColdFusion exposes existing enterprise services as web services. You can access these services using SOAP and
AMF/Flash remoting. You can select the services available to a user from the Exposed Services section. By default, all
the services are listed in the Allowed Services list box. Press CTRL and select the services that you do not want the user
to avail and click the >> button.
Now, click Edit User to implement the changes to the user settings. The following are the exposed services:
•
Allowed services: Mail Service, Document Service, PDF Service, Image Service, Chard Service, POP Service,
•
Prohibited services: Exchange Service
You can secure the exposed services to prevent access by unknown applications or users. This can be done by
configuring the client IP address range to which services are accessible. Also, you can set up user access control for the
services.On the Security > User Manager page, you can select the services available to a user from the Exposed Services
section. By default, all the services are listed in the Prohibited Services list box.Press CTRL and select the services that
you want the user to avail and click the << button. Now, click Edit User to implement the changes to the user settings.
Edit user configuration
In the User Manager page, click either the user name like in the User column or the Edit icon in the Action column.
The User Manager page opens in Edit mode, where you can reconfigure the user account settings such as password,
RDS Administrator access, adding sandboxes, and resetting the exposed services for the user.
Note:
You would not be able to reset the user authentication type in the edit mode.
Allowed IP Addresses
Specify client IP addresses that have the permission to access exposed services.
Packaging and Deployment section
The Packaging and Deployment section of the Administrator lets you create and deploy CAR files. You can also create
J2EE EAR or WAR files that include an existing ColdFusion application and the ColdFusion runtime system.

settings, data source information, and other types of information to back up your files faster. The complete list of
archivable information includes the following:
