ColdFusion

Hello, has anyone run into this issue when implementing SAML for SSO or otherwise in your coldfusion application:There was a problem when calculating the Signature of the SAMLRequest I have tried every possible configuration of the IDP and SP, which looks like the following, however im pretty sure this has to do with the idp signcertificate, which is copy and pasted in X509Certificate format from the idp xml metadata. I've also tried a few different configurations of pasting the idp signcertificate including manually encoding it in base64. this.security.samlsettings.idp = [{ name: '<idpname>', entityId: 'https://<idp_url>/saml2/idp', ssoURL: "https://<idp_url>/idp/SSO.saml2", sloURL: "https://<idp_url>/idp/SLO.ssaml2", signMessage: true, signrequests: true signcertificate: 'thecert' }]; this.security.samlsettings.sp = [{ name: '<spname>', entityId: 'http://<my_application>/admin/index.cfm/main', acsURL: 'https://<my_

I am on 2021 update 10 i see they now have 16. My question is that i have been reading some of these posts and it seems a few of these updates are doozies, meaning really things i need to watch out for and test my code with beforehand? Is there any easy document that will tell you or where to look for each one that would clearly explain? i know one of them deals with some patch you can put a few versions early and check log file to make sure your coding is okay? anything else major? Adobe has got me scared to update anything now and when i do should i do one patch at a time? Been with CF since 4.0 and i am not sure if its age or whatever but these updates seem to be getting scarier and sloppier or over the years.

Hello, Have an issue running a scheduled task on CF2018. Hitting the url in a browser window it runs fine, but via the schedule task when I output to a file all im getting in the file is error code: 1010 Not seeing anything wrong in execption.log or scheduler.log. Anyone any ideas? Thanks

I maintain a site that was originally created in CF over 12 years ago. It's massive, and frankly the non-profit can't afford a total redo. Some of the sections used CFgrid to allow updating multiple records at once. My problem is that it's a shared server and CFC files are blocked. I've found solutions, but they all require CFC files.

Is there a ColdFusion roadmap that goes beyone 2023?  I have reviewed the current roadmap posted and it goes up to 2028ish but that appears to simply be the EOL of CF 2023.

In ColdFusion, we generated an OAuth token to send notifications. However, due to the limitations of FCM HTTP v1, we cannot send notifications to multiple devices at once. To overcome this, we found a solution: using a TOPIC to subscribe device tokens. We attempted to subscribe multiple tokens using the FCM SDK.We included all the necessary dependent JAR files for subscribing, but it throws an error.We are using ColdFusion 2023. Here’s a simplified version of what we’re trying:<cfset FirebaseAdmin = createObject("java", "com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp") /> <cfset FirebaseMessaging = createObject("java", "com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessaging").getInstance(FirebaseAdmin) /><cfset registrationTokens = ["token1", "token2", "token3"] /><cfset response = FirebaseMessaging.subscribeToTopic(registrationTokens, topic) />However, we’re getting an error when trying to subscribe the tokens.Could anyone please provide a solution?

Recently I upgraded to CF2023 version. I observed a strange behaviour with a .cfc file that is included in one of the .cfml files using cfinclude tag. When I run that CFML file, it displays form as well as the contenet of the .cfc page on the top of the page. Please see the attached screenshot for the same. I dont see this issue in CF2016. Does the CF2023 not support .cfc files? Can some help me in this please?  

Hi, The XMLtransform function is throwing an error on our DEV server; our other 3 servers are fine. The JVM flag -Dcoldfusion.xml.allowPathCharacters=true has been applied. I am just the programmer but our system admin ask me to post this issue to see if there is another solution we can try.  XMLtransform was working fine until changes were made to get the PDF generator working. It took a few attempts on DEV before it was successful and the changes applied to the other servers. Now the XMLtransform throws the "Unable to process the XML string as it could probably contain file paths" error only on DEV. Server DetailsServer ProductColdFusion 2023Version2023,0,08,330668EditionEnterprise  Operating SystemWindows Server 2019  OS Version10.0  Update Level/E:/ColdFusion2023/cfusion/lib/updates/chf20230008.jar  Adobe Driver Version5.1.4 (Build 0001)  Tomcat Version9.0.85.0  Device IDbaad85e0431b7ba6b236f5b26081f8dded7b034df8355d964dba34e7366d15

I have a server that is running ColdFusion 2018.  I'm running the CF2023 installer and get to this screen: Accrording to the official online documentation (Install the server configuration (adobe.com)) it says:Previous Serial Number: Enter the serial number of a previously installed version of ColdFusion. Enter this number along with the serial number for the new ColdFusion installation.Use the previous serial number if you upgrading ColdFusion from a previous version. What I don't understand is why the Previous Serial Number text box remains greyed out and allowing no input no matter what what choices are made.  I can input my CF2023 Enterprise serial and get the green checkmark, but the Previous Serial Number remains greyed out.  I tried check the check box options which also made no difference.  I do have the CF2018 Enterprise key to provide if it would let me.  Could it be that it's because I'm upgrading from CF2018 and not CF2021? I'm a

After installing Update 14 on CF2021, we're seeing intermittent query errors with the message [Oracle JDBC Driver]arraycopy: destination index -1 out of bounds.   Could this be a driver issue?  We're connecting to an Oracle 19c v19.23.0.0.0.  I see several ojdbc jar files on the web server; ojdbc8.jar being the highest version.     Any thoughts?   [Editorial: Corrected the update number reported here, based on subsequent information provided in this thread.)

Is it possible to do an in place upgrade of Coldfusiton 2018 to 2023?  Keep it on the same server and just update the version of coldfusion?  If we install it on the system and have both versions of Coldfusion on the server, how do we reconfigure it so it uses the correct version?  Can we uninstall the old version once the new version is installed?

I need to build  an electronically signed PDF application to replace a Docusign type product that we currently use. We are using CF2021. Can anyone point me to where someone has done work on something like this, best pracrtices or any issues I should think about before proceeding?I posted this similar question 3 years ago. I wanted to see if there are better options now.

I am trying to update our ColdFusion server from version 13 to 14, and then to 15. We are running pn Windows Server 2022 and using latest version of IIS.

Hello, We have few internal tasks that try to query our SMA(Systems Management Appliance) to fetch some data on our CF 2023 stack.However, we have been getting  a specific error mentioned below.

I had multiple sites serving OK from IIS as part of a platform migration from CF 2018 to CF2023.After applying my agency's wildcard cert in the IIS Bindings panel for each site, both would load correctly browsing from the IIS Management context (I have a hosts file to resolve for loopback), but one of them respondes with a 404 from the servlet container when request is from a remote host and another loades normally when remote request. I pretty familiar with wsconfig and the webserver connector implementation but have never seen this happen before. I've deleted the connector configurations and rebuilt them both individually and a a single 'all websites' wsconfig configuration. Restart IIS and the CF Application service, and clearing cfclasses as well.I've also deleted the websites in IIS and wsconfig files, starting over (rinse/repeat). Again, this misbehavior only happened after applying SSL binding. I don't have the AJP communication SSL'd, only the HTTPS protocol.. BT
