Adding Users and Groups to a Security Policy
|
|
|
|
ColdFusion Advanced security works by authenticating users and then authorizing the actions that are to be performed on a set of ColdFusion resources that have been defined in the security context. In order for authentication to work, you need to identify and define users to ColdFusion. A policy associates rules defining access to various ColdFusion resources with a set of users.
|

|
|
To add users and groups to a policy:
|
|
|
- From the Advanced Security page in the ColdFusion Administrator, click the Security Contexts button.
- Select an existing security context or create a new one. On the Edit Security Contexts page, click the Policies button. ColdFusion opens the Resource Policies page for the current security context.
- Click to open an existing policy, or define a new one. ColdFusion opens the Edit Security Policy page.
- Click the Users button to open the Users page for the current policy. Click the Add/Remove button. ColdFusion opens the Add/Remove Users page for the current policy.
- Select from the available groups on the right side of the list control and click the left arrow to add them to the current policy. To add individual users, you enter a login name in the Enter User box and click Add. You're done.

Note
|
|
|
Only groups are displayed when adding users to a policy. To enter an individual user, you must know the user login and enter it in the Enter User box. A list of all possible individual users, which could easily number in the thousands, would be a very impractical means of adding individual users to a policy.
The users you have added to the security policy are now subject to the rules that you have also defined and added to the policy.
