Description

The ColdFusion Administrator Console is used to manage the ColdFusion application server. The console allows a user to configure settings used by hosted applications, maintain connections to external resources, review logs, etc. By disallowing concurrent logons, a user has a method to determine if his account has been comprised (The user will be unable to log into the Administrator Console.) and deters a user from having an open idle session from different work stations which can also be used by an attacker.
