Question

SiteMinder and Flex gateway

We are using Coldfusion 8 with IIS 6 and SiteMinder Version 6.0 QMR05.  The problem is that SiteMinder and the Flex Gateway on Coldfusion do not work together.  One or the other will work, just not together.  Whichever one is at the top of the Wildcard Application Maps in IIS will work, the one below will not.  I found on another message board someone else with the same problem.  They said things worked fine with CF7 but when the upgraded to CF8, they had the same problem.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

    Check the setting on the Wildcard ISAPI mapping for the SIteMinder agent.  There is a check box for “Verify that file exists”, remove the check and it should start to work.

    The Flash Gateway is requesting a URL that is not part of the file system, it is a servlet mapping path.  Since there is no file and the SiteMinder agent is checking for its existence you get a 404 error causing the Flash Gateway to fail.

    We are experiencing the same problem. Have you been able to find a solution for it?

    We have temporarily put flash apps od a different server, but it is not the most ideal solution

    Unfortunately, no. This was on our development server, so for now we turned

    Siteminder off, though we will have to come back to it eventually. On our new

    development server we have CF 9, so we're hoping that might help once we

    install Siteminder.

    Did installing CF9 help?

    Have you been able to alleviate the problem?
