Thanks for the reference. Good stuff. A lot of it is over my head . . . As a matter of general principle, is it acceptable or good practice to set up ColdFusion server under its own account? We have a requirement to bring back lists of files from folders on remote servers and then make links to the remote files. To do this we need to run CF under its own account instead of under the system account. Since this is our only CF server, should we let the requirement to access remote folders/files drive the type of account under which CF runs? Are there drawbacks to switching CF from running under a system account to running under its own account? What would you do? Thanks!
