Example of ColdFusion Studio Security

This set of help topics outlines the steps involved in creating an Advanced Security framework that limits ColdFusion Studio access to a set of files and data sources on a remote server, based on username and password.

 

For this example, assume that you are responsible for two development groups: Mars and Venus. Each group requires separate rules for source files and data sources for its current site development project.

 

To provide this access, follow these steps:

  1. Enable Advanced Security in the ColdFusion Administrator.

  2. Define a user directory for security authentication.

  3. Define a security context for Remote Development Security call "RDSSecurity."

  4. Add rules in the security context that define specific resources and resource attributes.

  5. Add policies for each group of resources.

  6. Assign rules to each policy to secure its resources.

  7. Assign users to each policy to specify who can access the resources.

  8. Enable ColdFusion Studio security and associate the RDS security context with it.

 

Proceed to Enable Advanced Security and related topics to continue following the example scenario.
