    Cold Fusion Hosting Tip

    This month's tip provided by: IX Web Hosting

    Bookmark HostIndex.com and return for a NEW Cold Fusion hosting tip every month!

    Anyone who is looking for a shared ColdFusion server should really assess the security of the shared ColdFusion server environment. Questions to ask a prospective host:

    1. Is Advanced Security on?
    2. Are security sandboxes enabled?
    3. Can others read my files/folders using CFFILE tag?

    ColdFusion server is a single Windows NT process that, in a shared environment, executes all scripts under the a single Windows NT account. This means that if Windows NT gives ColdFusion server a permission to read your scripts and files then Windows NT will not protect you from someone else's ColdFusion scripts reading your scripts and files.

    The protection must be configured within ColdFusion server itself. The server comes with advanced security option that lets ColdFusion administrator to establish so called "security sandboxes". The name "sandbox" comes from visualization of children sandbox where kids play and don't normally get out without adult's assistance. Technically sandbox is a policy inside of ColdFusion server that spells this:

    ColdFusion scripts located in or under directory C:\Customer1
    can access files and folders only in or under C:\Customer1
    If a script located under C:\Customer1 attempts to access a file under C:\Customer2, then terminate the script with an exception.
