Create ColdFusion Administrator Web Site
In this section we will create an IIS site which will be used exclusively for accessing the ColdFusion
administrator. An alternate approach is to access the ColdFusion administrator from the built-in web
server instead. Please read Section 5.1 for additional consideration.
First create a self signed certificate (or preferably utilize a certificate from a trusted certificate authority)
by clicking on the Server Certificates icon under the IIS root. Click on the link to Create Self-Signed
Certificate on the right under Actions.
Create an empty directory for the web site root of the ColdFusion administrator web site (e.g. d:\web-
sites\cfadmin\).
Next click on Sites and Add Web Site to create a new website for ColdFusion Administrator, point the
web root or content directory to the directory you just created. Bind the new site to 127.0.0.1 (or
another IP address only accessible to system administrators). Select HTTPS for the protocol, and select
the self signed certificate.
