We are trying to add a https web service via CFadmin in ColdFusion 8.
We have two ColdFusion applications. One on ColdFusion 2016 and other in ColdFusion 8. The CF8 application consumes few of the Web services of CF2016 application.
Recently, we added SSL to CF2016 application. So now the URLs of this application are HTTPS.
After it, few of the modules of cf8 that were consuming the webservices of cf2016 stopped working.
We figured it out that we need to update the webservice urls in cf8 with https urls.
We tried to update the webservice urls in CFAdmin but with no success. ColdFusion doesnot allow us to do it. It shows one error message Error creating web service. Please ensure that you have entered a correct Web Service name or URL.
We have checked the WS url in browser. It's returning the WSDL XML.
After a bit of searching we found this link http://www.richarddavies.us/archives/2006/02/enabling_web_services.php
It suggests to add the SSL certificate to ColdFusion's Java Keystore and restart ColFusion services. We followed the steps - Imported the SSL certificate to keystore and restarted coldfusion service. But no success. We also tried restarting the whole server.
Can some suggest what else needs to be done to add HTTPS webservice to ColdFusion 8. We are currently clueless.
Configuration:
App1(non ssl) - CF8-multiserver, java6,iis7.5, windows server 2008 r2
App2(SSL installed) - CF2016, java8, iis8.5, windows server 2012 R2
