You use the Administrator to perform a variety of administrative tasks for the ColdFusion Server, such as adding and configuring a data source, or scheduling application page execution, configuring security settings, and so on. During the ColdFusion installation process, you specify an Administrator password that is used to prevent unauthorized access to the Administrator pages.

To access ColdFusion Administrator pages remotely, you load the following URL:
http://hostname/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
where hostname is the name of the system on which ColdFusion is installed. If you are using ColdFusion Administrator security, you will be prompted to enter a password. If your Web server is providing security, access to the Administrator pages is governed by the permissions defined in your Web server.
Once the Administrator page loads, click one of the Administrator links to work with a specific area of the Administrator.
