<quote>Are you using any kind of third party user authentication, like SiteMinder. I ran into exactly this.</quote>
This can happen with any kind of authentication, including built in authentications of IIS such as "windows integrated" or "basic". <quote>When I entered the URLs in my own browser I was already authenticated with SiteMinder, so they ran. When ColdFusion tried to run them it, of course, didn't authenticate with SiteMinder. Since Siteminder returns a "200 OK" no matter what, to ColdFusion the template ran. </quote> Any status returned is a success to the scheduled task. If HTML was returned, including HTML describing errors, the scheduled task calls it a success. <quote>Our solution was to create a special website for scheduled tasks that doesn't use authentication. To keep it secure we restricted the Ips that it would respond to. </quote> You also probably could have created an account for the CF Service that would have authenticated it, so that it could access the given resources. We have solved this issue both ways in the past. P.S. This can also be a problem when trying to serve up web services for similar reasons. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
