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.

Upgrade JDK version ColdFusion Server Updated
I’ve been a CFML developer for a long time, as have a lot of you. But everyone can always learn something new. There’s also a new generation of devs hungry for resources to learn about CMFL, figure out how to move over their existing knowledge, or just get certified as they search for their first ColdFusion position. I get a lot of questions about where to go for CFML knowledge, so I thought I might compile a few things here, […]
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 […]
