Make Adobe ColdFusion Desirable Again (CFML Community Shoutout)

Without good marketing, a product can die. There are some out there who say that Adobe ColdFusion is dying. However, ColdFusion experts and developers agree that it is very much alive. And technically it is excellent. Perhaps the problem is not CF itself, but with its marketing. So what steps can we take as CFers to make sure ColdFusion doesn’t fade away? How can we promote CFML? These are some tricky questions as there is no clear-cut answer. Both producers and consumers […]

Larger Certificates (4096) in ColdFusion 2016 SSL database connections

Hello, I am trying to resolve an issue I’m currently having in CF2016. The issue seems to be connecting to an Informix database using a certificate which is larger (4096). Previously, using the same basic connection parameters to an older system, we had had no issues, but the cert was only 1024 in length. In moving to a different host (in a different data center), I am no longer able to connect to this data source. Same CF insatnce, same […]

Bottom line: In an abundance of caution for their customers, partners, and employees, Adobe has made the difficult but important decision to cancel the Adobe ColdFusion Summit […]
