cfLib - Validate Emails Webservice Custom Tag
Hello, Looking for additional ways to verify email addresses. We continue to get emails that pass normal validation but then when you go to send they fail for one reason or another. I saw this CustomTag over on cfLib and was wondering if anyone is using it regularly. http://cflib.org/udf/verifyEmail verifyEmail(emailAddress) This function validates the existence of an email address via the ValidateEmail Web Service at webservicex.net. I'm wondering how reliable this is and are there alternatives that I would also look at? Thanks, Casey ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: PCI Compliance Help
We just had a PCI Compliance scan done through SecurityMetrics and have one issue: Get in touch with your account rep and ask them to disable that specific test. It is mitigated by the fact that ColdFusion session IDs (which are sequential if you're using standard CF sessions) are only valid in the presence of a corresponding token ID which their scanner doesn't account for. Since there is a mitigating factor, they have always been able to disable that test on my scans without complaint. -Justin ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: PCI Compliance Help
The fact of the matter is how can the scanning company know what cookie values you are using to track sessions unless they can see your code. They can't unless they can successfully demonstrate a session highjacking with your server. That means they are guessing. That whole bit kind of irks me. It used to irk me too, but the scans from some providers (SecurityMetrics and McAfee Secure) have been extremely thorough in my experience. They are also always adding new tests to the scans. As a result of those scanners our programming team approaches things a lot more carefully now. It engenders a more security-conscious mindset which is beneficial to all of your projects going forward. Sure, some of the things they do are annoying, but I think there is a net benefit. -Justin ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

JRun CPU spinning at 50%.
In my continuing saga to figure out what is going on with my ColdFusion server. The CPU started spinning at 50% last Thursday midday and it has not stopped in the four days since. For perspective this if for our internal web server that historically, normally operates under 5% CPU usage. Plus this is our department internal web application server for the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, thus with the Furlough last Friday, the weekend and the holiday yesterday, there was nobody here using it the last four days. But the server never wavered and sat at a steady 50% the entire time. I have taken a snapshot of the threads currently running on this server. It can be seen here along with several I took last Thursday. http://www.ilsweb.com/JRun4-stack-traces/ The only thing that I see that *might* be odd, is there is this one thread that had never changed in the last four days. Can anybody tell me if it is unusual in any way? Name: Thread-110 State: RUNNABLE Total blocked: 0 Total waited: 0 Stack trace: sun.print.Win32PrintServiceLookup.notifyPrinterChange(Native Method) sun.print.Win32PrintServiceLookup.access$100(Win32PrintServiceLookup.java:32) sun.print.Win32PrintServiceLookup$PrinterChangeListener.run(Win32PrintServiceLookup.java:302) I did some searching on this and got some hints that it might be an issue, but nothing definitive nor any concise idea what this might really mean. By the way, is there some way to tie a specific thread to a piece of code? TIA Ian ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

I'm wondering how reliable this is and are there alternatives that I would also look at? You can quite easily check whether the domain name in the email address is a valid domain name. Just do a DNS lookup and see what you get back. It can be a bit more tricky to verify there are email servers for the domain, basically you need to do a lookup for the existence of MX records in DNS and if there aren't any you should check for an A record or CNAME. If none of those exist, there is no mailserver to for the domain. Anything after that requires a lot of patience and knowledge of the SMTP protocol. For example just some of the hurdles you have to pass if you want to email me: - If you email me and try the mail server with the highest or lowest priority MX record, your connection will be rejected. If you try one of the other 4 mail servers, you can connect. - If you email me, my email server will wait 12 seconds before sending the HELO message. - If you email me, your email server will get an error. Only the error code indicates that it is a temporary error and if your email server tries again after more then 5 minutes the message will get delivered. And of course nothing will catch email addresses that were valid at the time of the check, but aren't valid anymore at the time of sending the email.

RE: encrypting data questions
What encryption algorithm would be appropriate for cc data? AES or blowfish? What kind of performance hit would it have? We've been using Triple DES (DESEDE for the cf encryption functions) and storing it base64 encoded in a varchar field. As for performance, it depends on how many transactions you're doing. We didn't notice much of a difference, but the sites I'm using this on are not all that high volume. Haven't had any problems so far. -Justin ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: encrypting data questions
Just a quick word of caution.if you don't have to store CC data DON'T. Payment processors have recurring billing options where THEY take all the risk of storing such data. If you store it and it leaks out or you get hackedyou/your client/the company you work for will be liable. Keep in mind you may have to go through a security audit if you choose to store CC data OK...warning over ;-) Cheers On Tue, 2010-02-16 at 11:49 -0500, Matthew Smith wrote: What encryption algorithm would be appropriate for cc data?

Re: encrypting data questions
I'll repeat the warning about storing sensitive data in your db. If you don't have to (and there usually isn't a reason that can't be worked around) then don't do it. All of the transaction gateways I've dealt with recently (Authorize.net, Transfirst, Sage) have the ability to set up a profile for the customer on their server and then you can store the profile account info locally instead of the actual credit card. That being said, AES is a good encryption algorithm and the one I would go with by default. The downside to that is that any encryption algorithm you pick in CF means that you are going to need a key that is also accessible to CF. In most circumstances, your app server is going to be publicly reachable and that represents a security risk. That would make me suggest that you consider database-level encryption options as well as your db server should not be publicly accessible at all. MS-SQL supports database-level encryption and, as for 2008 I believe, column level encryption so that only the columns you need encrypted are encrypted. I'm not sure about other dbms encryption setups but I'm sure they exist for at least the major commercial databases.

Re: cfLib - Validate Emails Webservice Custom Tag
Best-practice configuration of SMTP servers turns off responses to inquiries about the existence of mail users for the excellent reason that spammers use that to develop higher-quality lists of known good addresses. Of course *you* wouldn't do anything bad with a mail server that answered your most reasonable question is this a valid email address? but that is exactly the same question that spammers want to ask and so, no, it is not going to generally work. Your best bet to do further validation of an email address is to send the user an email that they have to take some action on. Baring that, a regex is about as good as you are going to get.

Re: Broken images in CFADMIN
In my experience this happens when your CFIDE folder is not web-accessable, but you have a mapping for CFIDE in ColdFusion. The .cfm pages are resolving becuase CF is using the mapping it has, but when IIS is asked for an image (which doesn't involve CF), the path is non-existant. You need to confirm that the CFIDE/administrator directory is actually in the web root of the IIS site you are accessing. ~Brad Same here, but I've found one solution was to create a virtual directory for the CFIDE filder for each site. larry ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: coldfusion for medical research
Hi, our company builds software with coldfusion for charitable institutions/universities who store information for medical research purposes. i understand there is a free license for educational purposes but is there a free or discounted license for this scenario? thanks From what I understand, that's something that Adobe decides on a case by case basis. if cost is critical you may want to consider Open BlueDragon or Railo. They have 90% of the cf tags with some exceptions, and can run some fairly complex apps. for instance, both CFML engines successfully ran a meta-analysis app I developed for medical researchers. hth, larry -- Larry C.

Re: coldfusion for medical research
You can always ask, but it is unlikely that they will give you free licenses. The free licenses targeted at education are for professors who are teaching students how to use ColdFusion. Unless they changed things, the free licenses are not for Universities running production servers under other contexts, such as powering departmental Web sites. The academic versions are discounted, although I would guess your company doesn't qualify for those discounts. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 8:05 AM, Richard White rich...@j7is.co.uk wrote: Hi, our company builds software with coldfusion for charitable institutions/universities who store information for medical research purposes. i understand there is a free license for educational purposes but is there a free or discounted license for this scenario? thanks ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Hosting (was Re: Possible switch to CFEclipse)
For one specific host we discounted the cost of ColdFusion 8 by over $1M in good faith, and asked the hosting company not to charge more for CF than they do for ASP/PHP. In the end, the hosting company decided not to alter it's prices because the CF community is willing to pay the premium. Is it just me or does this seem like a fricking kick in the face to *both* Adobe and the CFML Community at large? Hmmm... what hosting company do we know of that has the resources to pull this kind of completely selfish and short-sighted BS? It's a shame you didn't mention the hosting companies name.

This is my personal opinion, so please take it with a grain of salt, but I don't believe the shared hosting model will be around much longer. The costs of virtual private machines has been steadily dropping and cloud vendors like Amazon and Microsoft are driving costs down. Today Amazon offers a Linux AMI for as little as $40/month. Rather than spend engineering resources on a proprietary user/domain model that hosting companies would likely ignore, I'd rather remain focused on innovating ColdFusion development and try to bring a lost-cost version of CF to market that makes virtual machine hosting cheaper than shared hosting.

The company was already using a shared host (a very cheap one at that) and when we told them that they needed a dedicated host, they refused at first. They nearly pulled out until I showed them how vulnerable their 100,000+ customers data was. Their log-on for their administration was not secured with SSL, they were collecting CC data along with the CCV codes into a shared database that was completely insecure. I finally proved it to them when I installed phpMyAdmin on a separate account at the host and you could login to their database using root with no password. Yes. the host had set root privileges with no password on a shared host.

I believe it's supposed to generate a new key every time. It's sort of like a UUID, unique with each iteration.

RE: coldfusion for medical research
Nonprofits can get donations of windows server and adobe photoshop for a small admin fee from techsoup.org They do not offer cold fusion as a donation there. You'll find it on same shelf as the free Windows Server and the free Adobe Photoshop. I think it's right above the free Laptops. :-) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: can't get encrypt to work.
If you're encrypting, with plans to decrypt later, then you'll have to store the key as well. Yea.. the idea is the key should be stored. If these are passwords you are encrypting, Ideally you should not store them in any way that that can be decrypted. But if you need to decrypt them, then you will need to store the keys along with the encrypted data (another table/database preferred). If you are trying to encrypt passwords, I had good luck borrowing some concepts from this code. http://github.com/virtix/cfcrypto which uses extreme HASH methods that utilize a SALT for each variable and iterates over the process 1024 times. But it may be too extreme for what you need, also the HASH is irreversible, so its only really suitable for passwords. -- /Kevin Pepperman ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: can't get encrypt to work.
This is a simplified UDF function version of Crypto.cfc that uses a salt for
each password.
It returns a struct that contains the hashed password, and the salt used.
To verify a password against the encrypted version, you just encrypt the
form post with the exact same method, but passing in the stored salt, then
compare the 2 encrypted passwords.
In some super security scenarios you would also have a Server key, that is
unique to the application and is stored in a third spot separate from the
database.
This way if someone hacks your database and accesses the users salt and the
encrypted data, they are still missing the Server key as well as how many
times you iterated your hash.
cffunction name=Crypto access=public returntype=any output=no
cfargument name=password type=string /
cfargument name=salt default=#GenerateSecretKey('AES')# hint=user
salt added to password, then stored in the secured database /
cfscript
var local = structNew();
var i = 1;
var iterations = 1024;
var algorithm = SHA-512;
local.salt = arguments.salt;
local.passwordHash = hash( arguments.password arguments.salt, algorithm,
'UTF-8' );
for (i = 1; i LTE iterations; i = i + 1)
{
local.passwordHash = hash( local.passwordHash arguments.salt ,
algorithm, 'UTF-8' );
}
return local;
/cfscript
/cffunction
cfdump var=#Crypto('my3ecretPa55w0rd5trf')# / normal use (VERY
SECURE as long as Salts are secured)
cfset ServerSalt = 8Ru5rbpvMmNEQK5UiKKaZQ== /
Server Salt stored as a permanent fixture of the application.
cfdump var=#Crypto('my3ecretPa55w0rd5trf' ServerSalt)# /
== (SUPER SECURE even if database is compromised)

Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
Hi, all. I've got a PDF document that I've created and a visitor can complete the document online and click a submit button in the document which submits the form to a method in a processing cfc. http://localhost/holtzmanrentals/components/rentalApp.cfc?method=processPDFA pplication That seems to be working fine, but when I try to read the content of the submitted PDF in the method, I get an error: Element CONTENT is undefined in PDF. From the docs, it seems like all I need in the method to process the data submitted in the PDF is: cfpdfform source=#pdf.content# action=read result=fields / cfdump var=#fields# However, that's causing the error. This is my first attempt trying to use an online PDF form, so I'm not understanding something. Also, this PDF is a document that was created as a regular PDF, then form fields were added using Foxit Phantom PDF software. It's not a PDF form created using CF code. Would someone point out what I'm missing? Thanks!

Re: CF8/Vista 64 debug output not showing up
Try adding the IPv6 address or disabling IPv6. The local loopback uses it. Also look through the code for any cfsetting showdebugoutput=no Thanks for the ideasdefinitely nothing in the code that is turning the debug off, that was the first thing I checked. ;-) I was going to try your other suggestion, but now CF isn't even starting up properly. The server log indicates that everything started up fine, but windows thinks otherwise and manually starting it gives the same result. So I think at this point, I'm going to try reinstalling and see if that clears the issues up. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CF8/Vista 64 debug output not showing up
I know its the obvious, but Vista has many ways of preventing services from accessing critical processes, make sure the built in Firewall is not blocking the ports or the JVM. I have seen instances in Vista where something will change, and the firewall will suddenly be blocking it-- where it was allowing it before. And the only way to fix it was to remove the existing rules and have it prompt you again. Sometimes a firewall warning will not focus the window to the top where you actually see it, and it can be missed very easy-- if ignored, it blocks by default. -- /Kevin Pepperman ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
There are different ways to submit forms. POST, fdf, as pdf, etcetera. How is your form being submitted? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
