After a little testing it looks like the Office XP Web Services Toolkit can
still use the username / password in the URL line even after I applied all
of the IE patches. Wonder if Office XP Web Services Toolkit has the same
security issues the IE has.  Not that it will be an issue for this
application.

That was my understanding as well is that it wouldn't work in IE.  I'm
curious what the username/password attributes in cfinvoke check against.
Anyone know?

Just a FYI for everyone. Looks like passing a user name and password to
the webservice using  <https://bob:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
https://bob:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/getdata.cfc using folder / file security
on the webserver does work with Office XP Web Services Toolkit 2.0.

The only question I have is how does IE latest security "fix" work with
this?  It is my understanding that IE will no longer correctly deal with
the user/pass in the URL.  Cumulative Security Update for Internet
Explorer (832894)", which disables the user:pass@ way of authentication.
Does this
also apply to   Microsoft Office XP Web Services Toolkit 2.0 in this
case MS
access or the VB editor in access?

Mark,

I haven't dived into it too deeply yet, but there is the "roles"
attribute of cffunction. This is specifically for securing webservices,
and though I haven't looked at it thoroughly yet I would imagine that it

is tied into roles set through cflogin...
