Re: IIS permissions on CF files

[Peter Boughton]

The directory contains an existing application, and there is resistance to 
modifications that would need to be re-applied after upgrading. :(

Re: IIS permissions on CF files

put an Application.cfc in that directory and add code in onRequestStart
method in it to check for cgi.server_name or cgi.http_host ( or for
getPageContext().getRequest().getServerName() ) and abort the request
(and maybe return a 403 header) if the domain the request is coming from
is not allowed.

Re: IIS permissions on CF files

Well, the user wont be authenticated, because the point is to block this 
directory completely on this site (it will be accessed via an entirely 
different domain/port).

But I think the login prompt that displays with anonymous access disabled is a 
good enough block, (even though a straight 403 would be better).

Thanks.

IIS doesn't access the files directly.  It hands the request off to the
ColdFusion server and it reads the files and returns the content.  You would
need to disable anonymous access to the file/folder in IIS to ensure the
user is authenticated before hitting those pages.
