Coldfusion Administrator (CFAdmin)
Hosting Customers have the ability to configure and control their Coldfusion 10 service. The Coldfusion Administrator is CUWebauth protected (netid and password), and the access is granted from the permits or AD Group that were assigned/given at the time of the request.
- You can get access to your CFAdmin interface by logging into the Hosting Dashboard https://dashboard.hosting.cornell.edu and search for either the VM name (webhost###) or instance name, and click on the Splash Page link.
- From the Splash Page, there is a tab near the top called CF Admin. By clicking here it will use your CUWebauth credentials to log you into CFAdmin. You are now ready to administer or configure how this Coldfusion 10 instance runs.
- Some items of interest within CFAdmin:
- Server Settings: Many items below allow you to manipulate how java/jvm works. Also configuration tweaks can occur in some of these options to help with performance.
- Data & Services Menu: Data Sources - to set up your connections to backend databases. For information on how to set up connections to Oracle databases, please see Connecting to Oracle databases with Coldfusion 10
- Server Update: Coldfusion 10 allows customers to download updates directly from Adobe and apply when you're ready.
- There's many other options and settings within CFAdmin and we strongly encourage customers to become familiar with CFAdmin. Coldfusion 10 offers more granularity and control to the customer.
Adding Customized JAR Files
Customers can add their own jar files to their environments by using a webdav client and uploading the files to the /jars directory, OR you can drop them in the server10/lib subdirectory. A restart of the Coldfusion instance will be needed.
- The order JAR files are loaded can be importanted depending on the functions you're looking to achieve. You can manipulate how jar files are loaded by their name, as well as changing the JVM settings (also done via CF Admin). This is considered advanced Coldfusion/java configurations and modifying the JVM should not be taken lightly.
