36 Chapter 2: Using the ColdFusion MX Administrator
RDS Password page
You use the RDS Password page to enable and disable password-restricted RDS access to server
resources from Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Macromedia H, or the ColdFusion
Report Builder, and to change the RDS password.
Sandbox Security page
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:
•
Data sources
•
Tags
•
Functions
•
Files and directories
•
IP addresses and ports
Note: If you have enabled sandbox security and want to use the Administrator API, you must enable
access to the CFIDE/adminapi directory.
