ColdFusion 2021 Throws an error when attempting to edit an existing SP Configuration

Question

This server is running ColdFusion 2021 Update 18. I'm attempting to edit an existing Service provider in the SP Configuration section of the Administrator.
the page throws the following error in the Application log:

"Error","http-nio-8544-exec-5","04/17/25","08:40:48","cfadmin","Variable KEYSTOREPATH is undefined. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: F:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\security\spedit.cfm, line: 487"

and a similar error in the coldfusion-out log:

"Error","http-nio-8544-exec-5","04/17/25","08:40:48","cfadmin","Variable KEYSTOREPATH is undefined. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: F:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\security\spedit.cfm, line: 487"

When I orginally configured this the keystore entry was present. The configuration works, our developers are able to write code against the SP Config, but editing it is not possible.

Yes. Working with our Azure team, I had to make changes to the config several times before it worked. The next time I went in to edit, the form wouldn't render and threw the error mentioned above.

That's clear. Thanks for clarifying.

You could do the following test:

Save a back-up of the file /lib/neo-saml.xml (at a location outside ColdFusion).
Open the file in an editor, and enter or change the value of the element signKeystorePath. For example, on my installation, the element is defined as:
```
<var name='signKeystorePath'>
	<string>C:\ColdFusion2025\cfusion\lib\saml\2tUUDSy2ie.p12</string>
</var>
```
Use the modified file to replace the exising file /lib/neo-saml.xml
Restart ColdFusion, then verify whether the issue has been resolved.

The error message suggests that ColdFusion is missing the Keystore Path. In the ColdFusion Administrator, go to the page Security > SP Configuration. Examine the form for the Service Provider. Make sure that the field Keystore Path is filled.
