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.

I’ve been a CFML developer for a long time, as have a lot of you. But everyone can always learn something new.
