Duplicate ID: CF-3615650
Problem: CGI variable auth_password value empty in ColdFusion 10 when accessed with Basic authentication in IIS 7/7.5.
Method: Here is the VM info:-
External ip: 10.40.138.58
Username: Administrator
Password: **password removed**
CF Admin Password: **password removed** (for both CF9 and CF10)
CF9 is running on port 8500 and CF10 is running on port 8501
Steps: To Enable Basic authentication:-
1) Open IIS Manager and navigate to the level you want to manage.
2) In Features View, double-click Authentication.
3) On the Authentication page, select Basic Authentication.
4) In the Actions pane, click Enable to use Basic authentication with the default settings.
5) In the Actions pane, select Anonymous authentication and click disable.
To reproduce the issue:-
1) Launch the web server config tool and create a connector between ColdFusion 10 and IIS.
2) Browse to CGI_auth_password.cfm, which dumps the value of auth_password.
3) Login with Username: win2k8_R2\administrator and password: ** password removed**
Result: The value of "auth_password" in ColdFusion 10 is [empty].
Expected: The value on dump, must display the password, i.e. cold!. Following the above steps with ColdFusion 9, dumps the value as expected.
Workaround: None.
