Installing Advanced Security - MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION 4.5-ADMINISTRING COLDFUSION SERVER Manual

298
Once you have decided on a method of storing security profile information, the
implementation details are essentially the same regardless of platform and storage
type. ColdFusion Advanced Security is implemented by defining the following
elements in order:
1. A security server.
2. A security context.
3. A user directory, in the form of an NT domain, an LDAP directory, or an ODBC
data source.
4. Specific ColdFusion resources to protect.
5. Users and groups who will have access to the resources.
6. Policies that group users and resources together into logical elements.

Installing Advanced Security

Advanced security is only available with ColdFusion Server Professional and
Enterprise editions, and is not installed by default during ColdFusion setup. To use the
User security features, you must choose the Advanced Security option when installing
ColdFusion 4.0.
See Chapter 1, "Installing and Configuring ColdFusion," on page 1 for more
information about installing ColdFusion Server.
To install Advanced Security on Windows NT:
1. Run the ColdFusion setup program and choose the Advanced Security Services
option in the Select Web Server options window.
Choosing Advanced Security during the installation procedure causes the
Microsoft Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI) Version 2.0 Setup window to
appear.
2. Click Yes to install ADSI.
3. Read and accept the licensing agreement, and click OK when the installation
finishes.
4. Restart your computer before opening the ColdFusion Administrator.
To install Advanced Security on Solaris:
Installing Advanced Security on Solaris requires an active LDAP data source you can
reference during the setup process. See "Defining User Directories" on page 301 for
information about the restricted-use license of the Netscape Directory Server that
ships with ColdFusion Server.
