Problem Description:

When attempting to setup a data source using the ColdFusion Oracle driver to connect to an Oracle database using Oracle Advanced Security, we always get the error: "java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]No more data available to read." We tried to add the parameters to use encryption in the connection string for the data source "EncryptionLevel=accepted;EncryptionTypes=(AES256,RC4_256,AES192,3DES168,AES128,RC4_128);" but we get the same error.  Can someone document the steps to add a data source using this encryption method?  Thanks.

Steps to Reproduce:

Follow the standard steps for adding an Oracle data source by entering the SID Name, Server, port, user name, password with the Oracle data source type.  Click Show Advanced Settings and enter "EncryptionLevel=accepted;EncryptionTypes=AES256,RC4_256,AES192,3DES168,AES128,RC4_128);" into the connection string field.  Press Submit.  The above error appears on verification, and any call to query the data source.

Any Workarounds:

Nothing works using the ColdFusion driver.  If we download the native thin Oracle JDBC driver, we can create a connection using the Other data source type, and it connects fine.  The problem with using this option is we lose the query timeout parameter, and long or runaway queries never return and hang threads in ColdFusion.  We are trying to avoid this with the CF10 upgrade.

I have CF11 update 5 installed. Can you tell me the specific parameters we need to set to enable this feature? Or does it work by default this way?
