Apply the Server Auto-Lockdown to a site without re-installing the Lockdown tool

The Server Auto Lock-Down installer does not allow you to apply lock-down for newly created sites without re-installing the lock-down tool from the beginning.

In addition, you have already locked down the instance cfusion (located as C:\ColdFusion2018\cfusion). The magic folder path for the site is C:\ColdFusion2018\config\wsconfig\1 You have a second site called cfsite2, which […]

EWS End of life and Microsoft Graph

Last year, Microsoft published their upcoming changes to Exchange Web Services (EWS) API for Office 365 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Exchange-Team-Blog/Upcoming-changes-to-Exchange-Web-Services-EWS-API-for-Office-365/ba-p/608055 And I believe EWS API is the backend api ColdFusion uses for cfexchange tag and other exchange related tags. With Microsoft shutting down the Basic Authentication for EWS, I assume it means we can’t use cfexchange and related tags any more? Is there any upcoming solution for this? like add build-in support for the new Microsoft Graph?

All 3 tasks will execute bang on the minute/half minute (ie, :00 or :30) For example: 1st task executes […]

CFObject in CF 2018 for calling a COM object

When calling the activePDF toolkit dll using this: <CFOBJECT ACTION=”Create” TYPE=”COM” CLASS=APToolkit.Object NAME=”TK”> I get this error: An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object.
