Issues with Coldfusion 2018 after clean installation.

Hello... I am having issues with logging into the CFIDE Admin after a clean installation.

I have developed puppet scripts to perform clean installations of apache and coldfusion (silently). The installations and execution of wsconfig go well, however there is an "invalid password" error occuring when attempting to login to the admin (and yes the password I am using is correct as specified in the installer.profile file).

Has anyone run into this issue?

FYI, this is a Red Hat Linux environment... With apache 2.4 in front of coldfusion.

Are you trying to log in manually after the installation? If so, it's possible that you have some special characters in the password that are being escaped during the installation.

Or, are you trying to log in via the admin API? If so, there are all kinds of things that could go wrong.

Dave,

I have scripted puppet to perform the installation silently. I have gotten it to a state where puppet is installing and configuring apache, installing Coldfusion (silently) and performing wsconfig steps.

All is complete and I am attempting to login (manually by going to https://<MY_FQDN>/CFIDE/administrator)

The password does contain the following special characters: @ : (

This password is stored in puppet encrypted, however when the installer.profile file is generated (for the silent installation), I can verify the password is decrypted and is correct, and does not have any space at the end (I heard spaces in this file can cause havoc).

Any recommendations?

I'm surprised it'll let you try to log in at all - by default, the CF Administrator should not be accessible via Apache or IIS in CF 2018 and you should have to use the internal port to access it. This might be your problem here, although the error message doesn't indicate that.

As for the password, I'd try removing the special characters and trying again. I have no idea how they're escaped in the installer profile.

I KNOW I am using the correct password.
