How I set up a basic development environment suitable for a single developer, but expandable to multiple developers using Docker, Adobe ColdFusion, Git, Docker, and BitBucket. Part 1 – Applying settings to ColdFusion

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).
