About directories and permissions
When you enable access to files outside of the sandbox, you specify the filename. When you
enable access to directories outside of the sandbox, you specify
directoryname
\
indicator
, where
indicator
is a dash or asterisk, as follows:
•
A backslash followed by a dash (\-) lets tags and functions access all files in the specified
directory, and recursively allows access to all files in subdirectories.
•
A backslash followed by an asterisk (\*) lets tags and functions access all files in the specified
directory and also lets tags and functions access a list of subdirectories. However, this option
denies access to files in any subdirectories.
You can also specify the actions that ColdFusion tags and functions can perform on files and
directories outside the sandbox. The following table shows the relationship between the
permissions of a file and a directory:
Adding a sandbox (Enterprise Edition only)
ColdFusion MX Enterprise Edition lets you define multiple security sandboxes.
To add a sandbox:
1.
Open the Security > Sandbox Security page in the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
The Sandbox Security Permissions page appears.
2.
In the Add Security Sandbox box, enter the name of the new sandbox. This name must be either
a ColdFusion mapping (defined in the Administrator) or an absolute path.
3.
Select New Sandbox from the drop-down list to create a sandbox based on the default sandbox,
or select an existing sandbox to copy its settings to your new sandbox.
4.
Click Add.
The new sandbox appears in the list of Defined Directory Permissions.
