I get an Error 403.7 “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate that the Web server recognizes.” When I try to access the website.
I installed the verson 17 update on a COldFusion 2023 server running version 16 and when I try to access the site now I get a certificate error. I updated the JDK to verison 17.0.12 and the errro persists. I looked in the coldfusion-out.log and found “Error [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8022-exec-1] – ” The specific sequence of files included or processed is Error [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8022-exec-1] -” ‘
I checked SSL cert and configured IIS to only enable TLS 1.2.
Our SSL cert is current and keystore loks good.

I have the same issue from upgrading the basline version to verison 17. Were you ever able to find a fix?
I attempted the following:
- Updated the Web Connector using wsconfig.exe to remove and add the web connectors.
- Client certificate authentication is explicitly required for the environment so SSL certificate settings in IIS need to be set to require.
- Updated the JDK from version 17.0.6 to 17.0.16.
- Verified the pathfilter.json file is not corrupted.
- Imported the SSL certificate for the website into the cacerts located in the <Java_Home>/jre/lib/security directory using the keytool utility found in Java_Home/jre/bin.
- Deleted the Felix Cache
- Uninstalled update 17 and reinstalled update 17.
The only way I found to fix the issue was to remove update 17 uninstall ColdFusion23 and then reinstall CF V01.
Super discouraging. I had problems with 15. I don’t love fearing my upgrades. Good luck!
