We have ColdFusion and Active Directory running within the same domain. I’m trying to write a script that ColdFusion can run to get the sizes of client directories within the file system. However, each directory requires different windows authentication.
ColdFusion <cfdirectory> doesn’t have a means to impersonate the user for each directory. Using the JavaIO is also apparently not useful as Java apparently doesn’t know anything about the Windows authentication.
I found a suggestion for using APS.NET to write a COM or .NET component, but the article didn’t go any further. I have since googled my heart out and not found anything more useful.
If anyone has any information or assistance to offer, you can’t imagine my gratitude.
We decided to build an ASP.net application which will access the individual client directories using in-built windows authentication to return file sizes and other data and dump them into a database. We will use windows scheduler to schedule the running of this application. ColdFUsion will be used merely to manipulate the data into reports.
