Implement sandbox security

The Enterprise Edition of ColdFusion supports server sandbox security for hosted sites. This security feature, controlled by the ColdFusion administrator of a hosted site, offers runtime security based on directory access at a hosted site. You can access all the functions required to implement sandbox security on the Advanced Security page.

 

To implement server sandbox 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 Security Sandbox option, then click Security Sandboxes to see the Registered Security Sandboxes page. For details on registering security sandboxes, see Register security sandboxes.
