After you enable Advanced Security, use the Connect User Directories page to specify a user directory for security authentication, as follows:
In the ColdFusion Administrator navigation frame, click Security>Security Configuration. The Advanced Security page appears.
Click User Directories. The Connect User Directories page appears.
Enter a name for the user directory in the text box provided at the top of the page.
Click Connect Directory. The New User Directory page appears.
From the drop-down list, choose the type of directory. For the purpose of this example, choose LDAP or Window NT domain (Windows only).
Complete the Location field as follows:
For an LDAP directory, enter the server name or the TCP/IP address of the server that hosts the directory
For a Windows NT user directory, enter the server location using the format: domain_name/server_name.
If you are using an LDAP directory, complete the LDAP Settings. In The Lookup Start field, enter uid=. In the Lookup End field, enter ou=ou_name,o=org_name. If you leave the Lookup fields blank, the ColdFusion Studio user will have to enter his entire distinguished name (a name plus the context) rather than just his username. The distinguished name is an LDAP directory parameter.
Click Add.
Proceed to Define a security context to continue following the example scenario.
