36 Chapter 2: Using the ColdFusion MX Administrator
RDS Password page
You use the RDS Password page to enable and disable password-restricted RDS access to server
resources from Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Macromedia HomeSite+, or the ColdFusion
Report Builder, and to change the RDS password.
Sandbox Security page
You use the Sandbox Security page (called Resource Security in the Standard Edition) to specify
security permissions for data sources, tags, functions, files, and directories.
Sandbox security uses the location of your ColdFusion pages to determine functionality. A
sandbox is a designated area (CFM files or directories that contain CFM files) of your site to
which you apply security restrictions. By default, a subdirectory (or child directory) inherits the
sandbox settings of the directory one level above it (the parent directory). If you define sandbox
settings for a subdirectory, you override the sandbox settings inherited from the parent directory.
Use sandbox security to control access to the following:
• Data sources
• Ta gs
• Functions
• Files and directories
• IP addresses and ports
Note: If you have enabled sandbox security and want to use the Administrator API, you must enable
access to the CFIDE/adminapi directory.
Packaging and Deployment section
The Packaging and Deployment section of the Administrator lets you create and deploy CAR files
and create J2EE EAR or WAR files that include an existing ColdFusion application and the
ColdFusion runtime system
This Packaging and Deployment section contains the following pages:
• ColdFusion Archives page
• J2EE Archives page
ColdFusion Archives page
The ColdFusion Archives page includes tools that let you archive and deploy ColdFusion
applications, configuration settings, data source information, and other types of information to
back up your files quickly and easily. The complete list of archivable information includes the
following:
• Name and file location
• Server settings
• ColdFusion mappings
• Data sources
