Using a .cfm in an iframe throws a 404 error

I am trying to set a .cfm file insde of an iframe. within a .net website.
It was working fine using CF 2016 but now that I am using CF 2023 it doesn't work anymore... thoughts?

this is the page: https://www.transducertechniques.com/track-order.cfm

This is the page in an iframe - it throws a 404 error

https://www.transducertechniques.com/track-your-order.aspx

here is the iframe.  I used it with and without the full URL
<iframe id="locator" src="https://www.transducertechniques.com/track-order.cfm" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="243"></iframe>

    Yes, please, tell us the solution. 4xx errors aren't usually caused by permissions errors. Thanks in advance!

     


    Hi Dave,

    What solved the issue was the files in the config/wsconfig/n/ directory.
    I double checked the permissions on isapi_redirect.dll and isapi_redirect.log
    I used the lockdown guide for CF 2016 to look up the permissions on each of these files.
    These permissions worked:

    isapi_redirect.dll

    CF: Full

    Admin: Full

    AppPool R&E, R

    IIS_IUSRS : R&E, R

     

    isapi_redirect.log

    CF: Full

    Admin: Full

    AppPool R&E, R, W

    IIS_IUSRS : R&E, R, W

    and this is how it's supposed to look:

    Thanks for the hint. Could you please describe in full how you solved it using permissions? That will certainly help a fellow developer in future.
