After the success at the CF Summit East in Washington DC, it seems that the spring conference season is fully underway. Our next major upcoming conference is the much anticipated Into the Box 2019. The conference will be held in just inside the Houston, TX region at The Woodlands. It will run for three exciting days starting on the May 1st with pre-conference workshops and culminating on May 3rd with Closing remarks and a raffle. Pre-Conference Workshops- Into the Box 2019 […]
I wanted a pre-conference workshop to bring more developers into the CF fold… Adobe one-upped me with something even better.

At CF Webtools we recently went through a round of server upgrades to handle the Authorize.net ending support for older TLS versions. Now USPS, United State Postal Service, is doing the same thing with their Shipping APIs. This is going to be happening for all API’s and most likely all this year as PCI requirements for ending support for TLS 1.1 and older at the end of June 2018. This is according to the PCI Security Standards Council. USPS will […]
How upsetting is it to have a deployed ColdFusion application that is full of bugs and issues? Is the cost of going back and fixing the problems hurting your bottom line? Are you concerned that proper testing procedures were not followed during development due to time constraints or developers just not knowing the proper way to test? You are not alone. In fact, one CIO lamented that developers “can’t imagine how to test code,” and don’t think about testing “before, […]
I have seen a lot more people asking questions about making SFTP or FTPS secure connections from ColdFusion using the <CFFTP> tag. They are trying to figure out why they cannot make a connection. Often the error is “Algorithm negotiation fail” or “Connection Error”. People are posting their questions on many support forums including Adobes forums and their new ColdFusion Community Portal. This is a problem people are experiencing in ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11. In the last few years […]
We have removed administrator access from external web server for CF 2016 for security reasons. You can access the administrator only from the internal Tomcat web server port 8500 series. Naturally, there are users who would want to make the administrator secure and enable SSL for the same. Follow the instructions below to enable the SSL for Tomcat/ColdFusion: Generate a keystore, preferably of type PKCS12. Import your certificate to keystore. Make sure you also import the private key and […]

This post is from my personal blog nimitsharma.wordpress.com In this post, we discuss how to upgrade the latest minor version of JDK(Java Development Kit) of the ColdFusion server. ColdFusion can run only on top of JDK or JRE with Server VM. Oracle also started providing separate download link for JRE and Server JRE.
