Question

	I want to secure the ColdFusion Administrator by restricting access to the entire cfide directory tree. Is this recommended and safe to do?
		It is indeed possible to restrict access to the entire cfide directory structure, but this will also prevent access to <CFFORM> validation (the .js file is under cfide), the CFC explorer (which is in a subdirectory of cfide), the debugger, and more. As such, if you wish to secure the ColdFusion Administrator directory you are better off securing the administrator subdirectory of cfide and not cfide itself. This extra level of security is highly recommended.
