Implement RDS security

ColdFusion RDS security provides security services to developers working in ColdFusion Studio. You can access all the functions required to implement Advanced RDS Security on the Advanced Security page.

 

To implement RDS Security:

  1. Specify security server settings. For details, see Configure Advanced Security.

  2. Define user directories to authenticate against an NT domain, an LDAP directory, or an ODBC data source. For details, see Connect user directories.

  3. Create a security context for the application. For details, see Register security contexts.

  4. Specify individual resources to protect and set up policies that match secured resources with authorized users and groups. For details, see Secure resources.

  5. On the Advanced Security page, enable the Use ColdFusion Studio Authentication option and select the security context created for this purpose from drop-down list. For details, see Configure Advanced Security.

 

After you complete these steps, developers working in ColdFusion Studio connect to the ColdFusion Server and access resources such as files and data sources according to the rules and policies associated with their logins.
