If you require granular security control or would like to enhance your ColdFusion capabilities with data sources, consider taking these actions:
Implement Advanced Security — For the ultimate level of control in protecting and deploying ColdFusion applications, configure Advanced Security. It allows you to control access to files, data sources, and administration, and to coordinate team development on shared, secure servers. You can also assign different degrees of administrative access to specified users in order to share ColdFusion administrative responsibilities. For details, see Overview of Advanced Security and Advanced Security levels.
Advanced data source usage — ColdFusion provides flexibility in working with data sources. When you finish configuring a data source, you can create a new external data source, use connection string options, and migrate client variable data. For details, see Overview of advanced data source options.
