Exercise 1: About the Login Wizard
ColdFusion MX 7 provides Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Extensions to assist you in creating a
ColdFusion MX application that requires login, or user, authentication. The user authentication
interface that you create using the Login Wizard can perform simple authentication,
authentication against a Microsoft Windows NT domain, or authentication against a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
In Dreamweaver MX, you open the Login Wizard, which guides you through the user
authentication interface creation process. The wizard then creates or modifies the files necessary
to add user authentication to your ColdFusion MX application.
Installing the Login Wizard
The Login Wizard is installed with ColdFusion MX 7 when you install the Dreamweaver
Extensions. If you did not install the Dreamweaver Extensions when you installed
ColdFusion MX 7, you can install them separately.
To install the Dreamweaver Extensions:
Ensure that you have installed Dreamweaver 7.0.1 or later.
1.
Make coldfusion/CFIDE/installers the current directory.
2.
Double-click the CFMX7DreamWeaverExtensions.mxp file.
