Why is Security Important


Set ColdFusion Administrator authentication type

To restrict access to the ColdFusion Administrator, check either the Use A Single Password Only option or the Separate Username And Password Authentication option.

You can then specify either one password to allow access to the ColdFusion Administrator, or create user profiles in which each user has a different password. To limit access by user, you define users in the User Manager and select the Separate Username And Password Authentication option.
