Welcome to ColdFusion Administrator

The ColdFusion Administrator puts the power in your hands to configure, maintain, and secure all aspects of your ColdFusion Server and resources.

 

A component of the ColdFusion Web application development system, the ColdFusion Server processes ColdFusion application pages and sends HTML pages to Web clients. Whatever the size and complexity of your site development environment, some level of ColdFusion Server administration is generally required.

 

You can think of the ColdFusion Administrator as a browser-based console for your ColdFusion Server. Using the flexibility built into the Administrator, you create a secure, productive environment that meets the needs of your development team for site creation and deployment, reliability, scalability, and security.
