BDEncode

MessageI've got a question on implementation of BD. Is there a way for me to encrypt the cfm templates like what cfencode does? TIA Anthony

I'll check the docs on this but I doubt it. The cfcrypt ability is basically a weak form of encryption that stops the basic user from looking at your code. In BD it might just be easier to put everything in a war file. I believe that these can be 'locked' to prevent people from looking at the code. Again, I have to check the docs to be sure. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hi Michael, Thanks for looking into it. I'm not worried if the user is smart enough to dig up the 'cfdecrypt' tool. Basically, the idea is not to release the source code only if the enduser pays up the fee. I suppose it's temporary, but that will do for now. Anthony I'll check the docs on this but I doubt it.

If I remember correctly, Bluedragon doesn't have cfencode. The BD method of protecting code is with a bda file.  The bda file is a secure file which includes the whole application with an external xml file for global settings eg. datasource names, file paths etc. The bda file does not need to extracted as a CFMX/5 archive does.  BD can run the application from within the archive. I haven't looked recently, but in one of the prior versions of BD this is how the admin is/was supplied. The only think to note is that this functionality is restricted to a particular version.  I'm afraid I forget which version.
