Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / June 2008

I was excited to see that CF8 allowed you to pass a clientCert in cfhttp.  
Conveniently, I needed to do this to integrate with a credit company.

But it doesn't appear to work. In fact, cfhttp is 'undefined' when using it
with clientCert.

I have installed the special Cert file manually.

To manually import a certificate:
Go to a page on the SSL server in question.
Double-click the lock icon.
Click the Details tab.
Click Copy To File.
Select the base64 option and save the file.
Copy the CER file into C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\jre\lib\security (or whichever
JRE ColdFusion is using).
Run the following command in the same directory (keytool.exe is located in
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\jre\bin):
keytool -import -keystore cacerts -alias giveUniqueName -file filename.cer

When I run it without passing the clientCert, I get a cfhttp response from the
webserver (403)... and error, but at least I get something.

When I add in the clientCert, cfhttp doesn't appear to work and I get a cfhttp
is undefined error.

Does this feature actually work? Anyone have any suggestions??

thanks,
