Please review the ability for Coldfusion to utilize Modern Authentication (OAuth) when connecting to Microsoft Exchange Online vs Basic Authentication (Presently Using Exchange Web Services).
Microsoft is disabling Basic Authentication October of 2022 and we would like to migrate anything using it to Modern Authentication.

Hi – I’ve installed CF 2021 on a server and I have a .car file that includes all my scheduled tasks (I can see them listed when I click “deploy”), but after it says it has successfully deployed my archive file, the scheduled tasks aren’t there (the datasources and server settings and all that imported just fine). Anyone encountered this and have any idea? (This issue also ends up breaking my install of CF 2021 – after this import, if […]
If you’re still running ColdFusion 9 or 8, you are at grave risk of many vulnerabilities, but most notably is one hitting those who failed to apply a hotfix that Adobe had provided in 2010! A recent spate of ransomware attacks have occurred, hitting such vulnerable servers, as reported in various security industry press. If you may somehow still be running ColdFusion 9 or 8, again there was a fix that Adobe had made available back then (in 2010), as […]

I am attempting to migrate a CF10 application to CF2018 that uses a CFLDAP call to an Active Directory server and is experiencing failures. We have already used keytool to import the AD server certificate and verified via keytool -list. In addition, we can telnet to <ip address>:636 and connect via openssl s_client -connect <ip address>:636. We use security: CFSSL_BASIC, port 636, and are getting this error on the LDAP call: Detail: One or more of the required attributes may […]
cfsqltype, CF_SQL_NUMBER not supported in CF2018. It worked up to CF2016
Migrating from Cf2016 to CF2018 I discovered that CFQUERY of query results no longer support using ordinals in the order by clause. For example, <cfquery name=”getroles” dbtype=”query”> select distinct role, role_action, sort_order from approvers order by 3 </cfquery> would sort the selection by the field sort_order up to and including CF2016. This has to be rewritten to work in CF2018 as <cfquery name=”getroles” dbtype=”query”> select distinct role, role_action, sort_order from approvers order by sort_order </cfquery> I was unable to find […]
I see that there are 8 updates since the version we currently have on our server. Does one start with the earliest one and work your way down all updates or does installing the latest update take care of all previous updates??? From the email I received from the server, looks like I need to install 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and then 12. Is this correct? We had someone retire and I am trying to get things back up […]
