CFB2018 RDS security -

I can't seem to connect to RDS running on the local machine using CFB2018.  It's CFserver 2018 and neither a password nor no authentication works.


Any guidance would be appreciated.  See this screenshot for more info:  03.13.2019-13.44.52

Correct answer Synaptrix

This is a default install for both builder and server. 

cfadmin url is: http://wcistest:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

RDS config is: 03.15.2019-09.08.33


Following your clue regarding cfadmin url, I changed the port in rds config to 8500 and it worked.  Is the admin port in the cfserver install randomly selected?  If not, then the cfbuilder install needs to be updated to use 8500.  If it is, then some kind of dialog in the cfbuilder install or start page informing one of the need to change that port might save some other unfortunate soul a lot of time!

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried removing the user and and password? Since you set the cf admin to require none? And I am assuming this tour local machine and you presume no one else can reach it?

Yes, I've tried with no credentials and get the same behavior.  Both builder and server are running on my local machine so it is safe, but I would prefer to run with a password still.  I just couldn't get that to work and fell back to no password as a test.  Since that fails too, I'm at a loss.

There must be something amiss in your config. I suspect I could fix this in 15 mins or less in a shared desktop consulting session, but assuming you may prefer to try to solve it here instead, please start with providing info we could not see in your screenshots:

- the url for the cf admin

- the fields in the rds configuration
