applicationtimeout - ColdFusion 8

Question

I inherited a coldfusion website that is written in ColdFusion 8 and it was written VERY poorly.

• First: the Application.cfm is encrypted
• Second: no one know how to decrypt the Application.cfm so I have no idea what are listed in this Application.cfm

Is there a way to get and display the applicationtimeout set in cfapplication?

I'm able to cfdump the "#Application.applicationName#" but not sure how to cfdump the applicationtimeout, sessiontimeout attributes from the cfapplication

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

It's easy enough to decrypt the files. Just google "coldfusion cfdecrypt.exe" and track one down. Examples:

• cfdecrypt.exe
• AdeptCFDecrypt

Note that the encryption scheme used changed for - I think - CF10, so these solutions won't work on that or later versions of CF. However it should be fine for your purposes.
