Michel,
There's really no way for Cold Fusion to protect directories. You can get
it to protect individual .cfm files based on the referrer tag, like this...
<CFIF CGI.HTTP_REFERER DOES NOT CONTAIN "yourdomain.com">
<CFLOCATION URL="http://www.yourdomain.com">
</CFIF>
...but that's about the extent of Cold Fusion's capability in protecting
files.
Actually, it sounds like you need Authentix, which is a third party filter
which you install into IIS. I use it and have found it more than useful.
You can protect anything from directories to files with it via a user
database or simply by referrer. I bought the software about a year ago for
$299 (ISP version). You may not need the ISP version, so, yours may be
cheaper. I think they even have a free version depending on your needs. At
any rate, here's the url for AuthentiX: http://www.flicks.com.
Hope this helps!
