316 Administering ColdFusion Server
Enable ColdFusion Studio Security
The last step is to actually enable Studio Security in the Administrator so that users
trying to access ColdFusion Server resources from Studio will be properly
authenticated before access is granted.
To enable ColdFusion Studio security:
1. On the Advanced Security page click the “Use ColdFusion Studio Authentication”
checkbox
2. Select the RDSService security context in the list box.
3. Select the “Use Security Server Cache” check box on the Advanced Server Security
page to improve the performance of the authentication process.
Now when a user authenticates from ColdFusion Studio to this RDS host the users will
only see the data sources and files that they are authorized to see. If they are not a
member of either group they will not see any data sources or files.
The first time Studio users open the files or data sources, performance will seem slow,
depending on how many data sources and files/directories must be checked. However
if security server caching is enabled, response will be much quicker the next time
remote files or data sources are checked.
