FYI, you can move/copy the js files out of cfide and configure CF to
reference them from the new location.
See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/3e56e2e5.html, and probably other docs
too.

To answer your original question, I lock down the IP addresses that can
access /cfide to prevent anyone from outside of the company from hitting
any of those pages.

Thanks

Subject: Secure CFIDE Virtual Directory


Hello Guys,

Looking for your advice on the best way to create a secure IIS virtual
directory to /CFIDE. My understanding is that certain folders within
that need to web accessible for cfchart,cfform,cfdocument to work, is
that correct? However I don't want to expose my /cfide/administrator and
/cfide/adminapi to the wide world :-) or anything else which might post
a security risk for that matter.

What is the best way of doing this? I'm thinking about creating a copy
of the CFIDE folder and calling it SecureCFIDE (or something to that
effect), it contains only the required elements and not the admin panel
etc, then creating a Virtual Directory link to that in the IIS sites
that require it, does that sound like a fair idea? Which files are
required?

Cheers all,

Rob
