Having issues with 2016 Update 14. I am not sure if it has something to do with the ISAPI redirect. I know in the past updates we had issues with accessing the ColdFusion Administrator using their connector port using ISS.

Hello,   We are using Oracle 12c and ColdFusion 2018.     I am trying to make the index.cfm page the default page instead of default.cfm page as default and this is not working on our Dev server, it worked correctly on our test server, both Dev and test are on Windows 2019 servers. ThanksIQ

All, I've been tasked to create a simple SMS system that we can use in office to keep in real-time contact with those working from home.  Any ideas/suggestions? I don't think we need/want anything that would require maintaining a connection.  Heck, the boss even suggested using polling to update communications (although I kind of balk at that idea.)  Although if maintaining a connection (having a state vs stateless) is easier/better, I'd be all about it. V/r, ^  _ ^

In my application, I am getting an error saying "The type for attribute format of tag document could not be determined". This is happening during PDF generation using cfdocument tag. Note that we are working with PDF files in Memory (ie , we are using the coldfusion option to write a PDF file to a variable by using the name attribute). Attaching the stack trace here. 

I just installed Coldfusion 2018 standard on a new Windows Server 2016 VM.  The installer I used has Update 2 pre-installed, and I'm trying to upgrade to Update 7.  From what the documentation states, I need to apply Update 4, and then 5,6,7 separately.  However, I'm having 2 issues: One: the interface in CFAdmin doesn't actually have the download links available for anything (it appears to be hidden in an accordian box).  Since I'm running this on a server, I don't really want to install other browsers to find one which renders this correctly. Two: after giving up on installing via the admin console, when I try to download apply Update 4 manually via the jar file, it fails with a message saying "some errors occurred during the install".  It points me to an installation log that doesn't seem to indicate any errors.  I also tried to manually install Update 3 with the same results. Any direction would be appreciated!

I am looking/investigating some error we've been having with a CF app. And looking at Application.log, it is not listing the full URL being process when the error occurs. I would like to change this behavior but I do not know how to do this?

In CF10, is there a way to set the cache region when using cfscript query functions? For example:sqlString = 'select * from dual';qs = new query();qs.setName('testME');qs.setcachedwithin(createTimespan(0,0,5,0));qs.setAttributes('cacheRegion', 'users');  //This doesnt seem right? 

I enabled Windows authentication in IIS 7 for a site powered by coldfusion 10. After I logged in, a coldfusion page that dump all the CGI shows REMOTE_USER and AUTH_USER are empty.  The tomcatAuthentication has been set to "false" in server.xml. Does coldfuion10 support IIS Windows authentication? If yes, is there any document on how to configure it? Thanks.

Hi, I am running ColdFusion10 Enterprise and we found two of our sites vulnerable to the Chrome80 update for SameSite cookies. I have "Use J2EE session variables" checked and Session Cookie Settings set for HTTPOnly. The issue is our main site iframes this supporting site in and we get console message "A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at *Domain Name Here* was set without the `SameSite` attribute. It has been blocked". Since these are different domains it doesn't work. I am trying to find out if there is a way to set that SameSite value to "none" for the jsessionid cookie.  I tried a few things thru the Java and JVM settigs but nothing worked there and in fact actually hosed it up once and had to revert it. Any ideas/suggestions/solutions are greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Hello,static files is not working in coldfusion when I remove enablecfoutputonly from cfsetting tag. Is there a reason for that? As showed below picture, jquery is not working. Is it a bug?   

Hi, I recently upgraded a CF10 Server to CF2018. In ColdFusion 10, ODBC queries to DB2 (CHAR) fields returned trimmed values. Now in CF2018 it returns the full char length and many comparisons to other tables in MySQL or SQL are returning empty. I was able to fix some by adding SELECT trim(fieldname)... But the server host many applications with thousands of .cfm pages; so it will be a dauting task to fix all those queries. I found a JVM argumment setting of "-Dcoldfusion.trim.dbresult=true" listed for CF11; but it does not apperas to be working in CF2018.Any idea if this can be enabled in a DSN or any other CF setting? Thanks!

Hi,  I am using ColdFusion 2018 and an Oracle 12c Database.   I would like to use LDAP to authenticate my users. As of now the users are being authenticated by their Usernames in an Oracle Database, upon logging-in their roles are checked to see if they have an adequate role and then they are made available different screens depending on their roles. I would like to do the same but within an LDAP authentication method. How can I do this ?  RegardsIQ
