Securing ColdFusion Code

Hi Adam, I think he was asking more along the lines of packaging up finished CFM files for delivery to a client who would then host the site somewhere. He wants to protect the CFM files so that the client cannot alter them or copy parts of the source code for use elsewhere without his permission. In older versions of ColdFusion there was an encryption tool which would encrypt the CFM files in a way that the CF server could understand, but would not be editable.  There is a decryption tool readily available which made this a moot point. I have not used the cfcompile tool myself, but it appears that using the -deploy option will compile the CFM files into Java bytecode which can be distributed to your client instead of the original CFM source code.  I would test this locally before giving to your client though. -Justin
