CFREGISTRY (the inner workings of CF Admin)

2001-05-09 Thread Steve Reich 

I am thinking I'm going to disable CFREGISTRY on one of my servers for
security reasons. Then it occurred to me, how does the CF Administrator
check passwords, retrieve datasources, etc... if it's disabled. Does
disabling it exclude pages within the CF Administrator...?

Mostly just curious
Steve

By default, the CF Administrator directory isn't affected when you disable
CFREGISTRY. You can actually specify the directory path which will still
allow CFREGISTRY in the same Basic Security page with which you disable
CFREGISTRY.
