Enable ColdFusion Studio security

The last step in the example scenario is to enable ColdFusion Studio security in the ColdFusion Administrator, and associate the RDSSecurity context with this feature. Take the following steps:

  1. In the ColdFusion Administrator navigation frame, click Security>Security Configuration. The Advanced Security page appears.

  2. Scroll down the page and enable the Use ColdFusion Studio Authentication option by putting a check in the check box.

  3. From the drop-down list under this option, select the RDSSecurity context.  

    Tip:
    To improve the performance of the ColdFusion Studio authentication process, enable the Use Security Cache option provided in the Security Server Caching Settings section of the Advanced Security page.

    The first time ColdFusion Studio users open files or data sources, performance can seem slow depending on how many data sources and files or directories must be checked. However, if security server caching is enabled, the response will be much quicker the next time the files or data sources are checked.

 

After you complete this step, when users authenticate from ColdFusion Studio to this RDS host, they see only the data sources and files for which they have authorization. Users who are not members of either the Mars or Venus group do not see any data sources or files.
