Chapter 8, "ColdFusion Security Options," introduced the security options available in Macromedia ColdFusion: development security (Remote Development Services, or RDS), user security (programmatic), and resource security (files and directories). This chapter discusses the topic of resource security.

Resource security controls access to ColdFusion resources based on template locations. By applying a set of rules at the directory level to limit access of the CFML in the underlying templates at run time, you create a specific area in which the code can operate. Securing resources in this manner is known as sandbox security, and it is configured in ColdFusion Administrator.
