ColdFusion

Does the EOL on the ADOBE product Lifecycle matrix indicate there will be no new security/vulnerability patch access for owners of this software?

Version: Adobe ColdFusion 2021 EnterpriseOS: Windows 2016 (Azure)I know this has been addressed in the past, with the solution being to not run your coldfusion service on a domain account, however I am required to for security purposes. When I attempt to SFTP using CFFTP to certain servers using a key and a username, with ColdFusion running on a domain service account, it gets into a standoff with the SSH service that never ends.   I looked around for JSchd documentation on system configuration variables that I could inject into the jvm.config, but could find not any that would allow me to test shutting of Kerberos as an authication method.  Has anyone found a solution yet that allows for CFFTP to work over secure SSH that allows for the ColdFusion server to run on a domain account?  I don't think I can ask the SFTP server folks to shut off certain authentication methods at this point. The SFTP service is running on RHEL, it's on a separate domai

Has anyone experienced a false error when running the analzer? It returned an error for CFOBJECT saying "ColdFusion 2021 has modified the usage of system function CreateObject. The value 'corba' for the parameter 'type' has been removed."When I look at the file higlighted it doesn't use corba. We don't use this on the whole site.When I use the CF file containing this code it actually works and doesn't error so that doesn't explain why the analyzer picked it up. The second  error higlighted was with the CFDOCUMENT tag:"ColdFusion 2021 has modified the usage of CFDocument tag. The usage of the attribute format="Flashpaper" has been retired."Again, the file it highlighted doesn't use flashpaper, it uses PDF so I'm not sure why the analyzer considers this an error. Any ideas gratefully received. We're looking to upgrade to 2021 and want to be confident we've prepared for any code changes needed.

Thank you for all who have tried to help with this.I have finally completed a successful install of 2021- ASAPI filters now show tomcat, and wsconfig works now.My local IIS server is localhost port 80, but CF would not allow that port so I installed in C:\inetpub\cfusion.Both directories can be browsed but only 8500 resolves CF pages including Admin.localhost only can browse html- not cfm.I may be confused here as to what importance the install directory plays- IOW no matter where on my local machine in installs, its wwwroot is "hot".Also during the install it chose my local workstation (DESKTOP-3KI1IUU) - the ASAPI filters were istalled correcty, but still had not installed in the directory below it- default website so I entered it manually. Now my IDE browses HTML but not CF as I stated above. See below for images - thanks again. 

I am using ColdFusion as my primary application development server since year 2000. I am from asian region and I am planning to create a new coldfusion user group here. Please guide me as to what are the steps involved in creating a new ColdFusion user group enlisted at adobe website. Thanks

Hello againI've uninstalled/reinstalled CF 2021.Install does not cofigure IIS and can not access wsconfig.exe post install. Errors out.This is becomming frustrating, as I never had any such issues starting back before MX.The old install of CF 2016 is long gone.With screenshots I am providing, ids there anything that stands out?Thank You! 

fresh install cf2021 on win2019 iisthe admin interface is running correctlyWhen trying to access virutal webstie, I get 500 error, any idea to fix that ?

Simplest explanation is that we created our site, added a simple index.cfm file and it works if url like this: http://localhost if we go to http://localhost/index.cfm the browser downloads the index.cfm as a text file and the contents of the file is the isapi dll.It's any cfm/cfc/cfml/etc file in the url directly does this.we discovered it with the site, but it's the same issue with the basic default website and a plain index.cfm file.

I'm trying to plan how to authorize users to access a page, based on the currency of their subscription payments. They might pay a typical one month in advance subscription each month, or they might pay six months or a year in advance (possibly with a discount).  I'm thinking I would control access through, for instance, "ExpireDate > today()". And I would calculate ExpireDate, based on payments. This is completely new to me, and web searches get me into software companies' software subscriptions—no how-tos. How would you handle this? I will create another table to record the user's payments.  If you know of an online resource that discusses this topic, please share! Thanks!John

I'm currently having issues with our ColdFusion 2018 Application Server in production. If we need to restart the ColdFusion 2018 service or the server reboots after patching, the SQL Server DSN fails to connect to the database with the message that it "Timed out trying to establish a connection." The only way we have found to resolve this issue is to delete the DSN and recreate it. The operating system is Windows Server 2016 and the Java JVM is Java SE 11.0.12. Our instance of ColdFusion is up-to-date with current patches. The database is SQL Server 2019. We are using a trusted connection to the database (i.e., the ColdFusion AD service account has a login entry in the database).We are running ColdFusion 2016 in development and connecting to SQL Server 2019 and do not have these issues. We have various other DSNs that connect to an Oracle 19c database and none of these DSNs experience connectivity issues after service restart or server reboot. It is only the SQL Server.

I am trying to troubleshoot some issues related to User Management and the new IDP/SP pages of the administrator.I created a user and granted access to Security > SAML in the user manager.  Saved the user and when I log into the account, it shows only IDP/SP pages.  However, when I click on a IDP or the button Add IDP or even the simialr ones in the SP configuration, I get the below lol.  Is there anyone whom fixed this?  Currently on CF2021 without the first patch..   Forbidden PageYou do not have permission to access the requested page. Please contact your administrator.

Bonjour,Ma question est simple :Quand, pour la première fois, je vais chercher un fichier : <CFINPUT type="file" action = "upload" name="Aut_photo" value="" size="50" accept="image/jpg, image/jpeg, image/gif"><br>Pas de problème ! cela affiche, à côté du bouton "Parcourir", le nom du fichier !Par contre, quand je veux consulter cette donnée à nouveau :<CFINPUT type="file" action ="read" name="Aut_photo" value="/../../#session.site#/_Editeurs/#get_clients.Societe#/#MajAuteurs.Aut_Nom#/Auteur/#MajAuteurs.Aut_photo#">Je n'ai plus aucune trace de ce dernier.

I'm trying to create a new instance using the CF2018 instance manager. I can see that the new instance folder is getting created and files were copied but the webpage never comes back to say that the process was completed. It happens whether I choose to create the windows service or not. I don't see any errors in the CF or Windows logs. I'm not sure what is supposed to happen once the folder is created and populated. Also, is there a way to manually install instances in CF2018?

Hi, The company has an application that stores the content of files uplaoded into an sql database table allowing for the content of those files to be rebuilt and downloaded as required using cf code.The code works perfectly in the application running cf9.1 on a window 2008 server When I run the identical code pointing to the same database running cf2021 on a windows 2016 server  the files are generated successfully however when they are opened they either generate an error within the default application used to open the file determined by the file extension  (eg ms word, xls, msg, etc ) and or advises there are permission errors preventing the file to be opened. Can anyone shed some light on what may be causing this and a possible solution Just recapping the cfm page generating the file, and the sql database, table, and the record being  used are idetical in both examples. The ony differnece is the working solution is running cf9.1 on windows server 2

I have a DB with a date field that I need to update periodically. I'd like to set a date on the same template where I insert the record.  I run my insert query, then run a select query for maxID to get the data row. I set a session variable with a calculated date, and I want to "set" that date in the field with an update query. In the following code, setting the value as "2021-09-17" will update the field, as I desire. But, if I try to use my session variable for the update, it doesn't work. I've tried every variation on syntax I can conceive of, and nothting works.  After the form action, debugging on my page shows that the variable exists and holds a value. Is there a chance that it doesn't get set before the update query fires?  <!--- Set ExpireDate column ---> <cfquery datasource="#APPLICATION.dsn#"> UPDATE tbl_user <!---SET ExpireDate = "#session.ExpireDate#"---> SET ExpireDate = "2021-09-17" WHERE U

Hello I recently upgraded my office coldfusion11 server to the coldfusion 2021 server.  Once the upgrade took place I was no longer able to access the coldfusion admin interface. I currently configured the site to run on IIS. I have attached a screenshot of the error I am getting.  Any feedback or help is greatly appericated.  Thank you. 

I'm having issues with creating a useable docker container for a ColdFusion 2021 app. I can create the container, but everytime it is rebuilt I have to reinstall all of the modules (admin, search, etc.). This is an issue because the site that the container will be housed on will be rebuilding the container everyday. The container is being built with docker-compose. I have tried using the installModule and importModule environmental variables, running the install command from the Dockerfile, building the container and creating a .car file to keep the settings, and disabling the secure mode using the environmental variables. I have looked at the log, and all of the different methods used to install/import the modules are actually downloading and installing the modules. However, when the container first starts to spin up there's a section where the selected modules are installed (and the modules that are not installed are listed). That section is followed by the message that the

(CF2016 Update 17) Hi, I've used #CGI.http_referer# on and off for many years. On my recent use I noticed that part of the URL's were missing Example if  link from the local host to the domain and try to log in, I get part of the link http://127.0.0.1/ but not the full link I came from http://127.0.0.1/sometest/testrefer.html for example I just tried it on the local host to the local host and that worked fine. I have some servers on a load balancer and in the past I'd lost some info as the ISP didn't pass it through but this server is not on the balancer so I know that is not the issue Does anybody know where I might look to resolve this? Thanks

I have ColdFusion 2018 Update 11 installed on the Windows server. This ColdFusion uses a Tomcat version 9.0.41 as a connector . Is it any way to upgrade tomcat version 9.0.46 internally without upgrading ColdFusion 2018 Update 11?And also if there is way then ColdFusion 2018 don't have any compatibility issue, It should run smooth on Tomcat 9.0.46 because I am having old ColdFusion code.Any suggestion please help.Thanks.

We attempted to upgrade from Coldfusion 11 to 2018 today and we are now getting  our cross-origin requests blocked by Chrome. Reverting back to CF11 (changing no settings in IIS, just switching the connector) we have no problems. So, my question is this: What has changed in the Rest Services served by CF2018 so that cross-origin requests would start getting blocked when the same code served by CF11 works fine? And, what, if anything, might be done to get around this issue?

I have a server with 4 instances set up with the CFadmin Instance Manager.All is well, but when I try to get a user count, you only get the count on your logged in instance.I'm trying to log in to a specific instance, any suggestions? -Chuck
