Is that really authentication?
Working with Ektron the past few weeks, it has come to our attention that they seem to just grasp for something to work. With the current test environment on ColdFusion MX7 and their newest release of CMS400.NET v6.1, we were able to make a clean install. It worked until it came to the point to turn on AD authentication.
This project is intended to replace the Intranet, so AD authentication is a must. Currently AD authentication is working correctly on CMS300 (the non .Net release before CMS400). However on the CMS400.Net, the web services are getting 401 errors as the tags are trying to invoke to the CMS. The “support” told us that we should allow anonymous access or impersonate someone for the ‘webservices’ folder. This defeats the purpose of security.
We checked the logs on the server. Observing that each time we checked the page, the invokes were not passing the credentials, yet the others were. We are still working with Ektron now:
Case #: 00039172
Case Subject: ColdFusion - cfinvoke errors
Now it is waiting on them now to replicate our environment so they can fix the issue. I will keep you posted. They thought we had ColdFusion 5 and thought that was the fix, yet we showed them we are on CF MX7.
