Two connection scripts in DW8
Hi
I've been suffering on one of my domains from a nasty outbreak of sql injection on a site created in DWMX2004 some years ago. I've tightened up form and url variable security by updating the behaviours to DW8.02 ones, but this seems to be insufficient. My next idea was to create two different sql server login accounts, one for the public pages which has only very limited priviliges (can select but not insert/update/delete except where specifically required) and one for the content management system, which can do everything.
Trouble is Dreamweaver won't allow me to have two database connections defined in one site. This means half my pages can't be edited because the path to the connections file is not valid. I can have two connections files (each one used by half the site) and keep on redefining the master database connection as I move between files, but this is not ideal. Equally I can define two sites (one using each connection) accessing the same folder and keep switching between them, but this is also a pain.
Does anyone know of a better way to do this?
Any thoughts gratefully received.
