Coldfusion: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:05, 30 January 2007

Tom Corder (tac21) has written a Coldfusion wrapper for the Raven Java Toolkit.

Download the Raven Java Toolkit and extract webauth-toolkit.jar to runtime\jre\lib\ext in the Coldfusion installation directory.
Restart the Coldfusion service.
Download ravencfc.zip and extract to the directory you wish to protect. It should contain 4 files: application.cfc, webauth.cfc, index.cfm and pubkey2.crt.
All Coldfusion files at or below the directory should now be protected. If you wish to protect binaries etc. then combined use of the Apache/IIS module to protect those directories is suggested.

General disclaimer: the files above have been cobbled together specifically for demonstration purposes!
There is an online demo of these files here.
The installation has only been tested with Coldfusion MX 7.02.
It is good practice to move the webauth.cfc file to a non-public filepath on production servers.
