Administering ColdFusion Server
Securing the ColdFusion Administrator
With ColdFusion Server, you can decentralize administrative responsibility by creating
multiple administrators. Overall security is maintained because these additional
administrators can control only the resources and policies for which you’ve given them
explicit responsibility. You can assign the following types of administrative access to
any user:
•
Administrator
— Provides complete read and write access to all ColdFusion
Administrator pages.
•
Privileged
— Provides read and write access to all the ColdFusion pages except
the Basic and Advanced Security pages; Privileged users have no access at all to
the security pages.
•
Restricted
— Provides read and write access only to the Data sources
Administrator pages, the Verify Data Source page, and the Verity Collections
page; Restricted users have no access to any other ColdFusion Administrator
pages. You can configure Restricted access so that a user only has access to
specified data sources
You provide different levels of access to the ColdFusion Administrator with a built-in
security context called “ColdFusion Admin.”
Note
Before you can configure ColdFusion Administrator security, you must
know how to create a user directory. If you don’t know how to create a
user directory, see “Defining User Directories” on page 301.
To secure the ColdFusion Administrator:
1.
Open the ColdFusion Administrator and click the Advanced Security link.
You see the Advanced Server Security page.
2.
Make sure the Use Advanced Server Security checkbox is selected.
3.
Define a user directory that contains the user to whom you want to assign
Administrator privileges. (Leave the username and password fields blank when
defining the user directory.)
4.
Under ColdFusion Administration Security, select the Use ColdFusion
Administration Authentication check box.
5.
Select the user directory you created in step 3 from the drop-down box.
6.
In the Administrator field, type in the name of a user who is defined in the user
directory you selected in step 4. This user will have Administrator priveleges for
the ColdFusion Administrator.
7.
Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen.
ColdFusion Administrator security is now enabled. When you close the
Administrator and try to open it again, you will be prompted for the username and
password of the user you specified in step 5. If you log in as a different user, you
will NOT see the Advanced Security link in the Administrator.
