ColdFusion Access Manager Error when attempting to clear trusted cache - coldfusion

<cfscript>
if (isDefined("url.clearTrustedCache")) {
clearTrustedCache();
}
function clearTrustedCache() {
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator");
adminObj.login("admin");
runtimeObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.runtime");
runtimeObj.clearTrustedCache();
}
</cfscript>
I am trying to use the above code to clear the trusted cache via URL param. I am getting the following error message:
The current user is not authorized to invoke this method
The only thing I found online to try was http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/error-current-user-authorized-invoke.html but it didn't work (unless I am doing it incorrectly).
Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this?

The solution was to use a password with the login because it was set up to be required in the Coldfusion Admin. If it's not required in the Coldfusion admin (which I don't recommend then a password may not be necessary.
Example:
adminObj.login("passwordHere","loginHere");

ckan.toolkit.redirect_to does not redirect

I'm currently developing an ckan extension, where i need to redirect to a url on a different domain.
In my plugin i defined a custom action function:
#side_effect_free
def download_json(context, data_dict):
toolkit.redirect_to('http://my.json-builder.com?id=1234')
But when i call this endpoint i just get following response:

So i assume that the action function is called, but the redirect_to call does not redirect to the url i defined.
Thanks for your help!

It's a bit hard to figure out what you're trying to accomplish but here's a few things I hope will help.
Short Answer:
No, you can't redirect from an API endpoint in CKAN. The endpoint response in CKAN is built up and expects certain things from your action. Your action should return some kind of result. In your case it's returning nothing but trying to redirect. A logic action function with IActions is not the same as a Blueprint or pylons controller action.
See Making an API request docs, specifically the breakdown of an API response in CKAN. Also, you can review the pylons implementation that builds up the API response or the flask blueprints implementation.
More Info to help with your approach:
You say you are trying to call an endpoint that redirects a user to a different domain url. Based on this consider the following:
The first thing I thought you wanted was to have a url that someone goes to through the web interface of your site and are redirected to another site. In this case your example code of toolkit.redirect_to('http://my.json-builder.com?id=1234') makes sense and works for a custom controller action using/implemented with IRoutes or if you're using flask then IBlueprint. A User would go to a URL on your site such as http://localhost.com/download_json and be redirected to the new URL/site in their browser.
If you are intending this to be an API call for other users this starts to feel a little bit odd. If a user is using your API, they would expect to get results from your site in JSON CKAN's API is designed to return JSON. Someone consuming your API endpoint would not expect to be redirected to another site e.g. if I called http://localhost.com/api/3/action/download_json I would expect to get a JSON object like
{
help: "http://localhost/api/3/action/help_show?name=download_json",
success: true,
result: {
...
}
}
They would look for success to make sure the call worked and then they would use the result to keep moving forward with their desired processes. If you do want someone via an API to get redirect info I'd likely return the redirect url as the result e.g. result: {'redirect_url': 'http://my.json-builder.com?id=1234'} and document this well in your extension's API docs (e.g. why you're returning this endpoint, what you expect someone to do with it, etc).
If this is an API call for your own extension I'm guessing what you are trying to do is use my.json-builder.com to build a json of something (a dataset maybe?) and return that json as the result at your endpoint or maybe even consume the result to make something else? If that's the case, then in your function you could make the call to my.json-builder.com, process the results and return the results to the user. In this case, you're not actually wanting to redirect a user to a new site but instead make a call to the new site to get some results. If you actually want the results for your extension you don't need an additional endpoint. You could make the call from your extension, consume the results and return the desired object you're trying to create.
Hope this helps and sorry if I've miss-understood completely.

CloudKit wegservice method not allowed

Im trying to use the cloud kit web service but i keep getting 'Method not allowed'
Why is this?
curl "https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/iCloud.nl.igeni.MYIDHERE/development/users/current?ckAPITokenMYTOKENHERE"
Method Not Allowed
You forgot private or public. Also, caller is now preferred over current.
The correct url is:
https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/iCloud.nl.igeni.MYIDHERE/development/public/users/caller?ckAPITokenMYTOKENHERE
See the documentation at https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DataManagement/Conceptual/CloudKitWebServicesReference/FetchCurrentUserIdentity.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015240-CH27-SW1

Send user to external site in coldfusion

I am trying to redirect a user to a different URL in coldfusion after the user logs out. Nothing comes to the top of my head besides linkTo() or urlFor() to accomplish this, but the thing is, I am not linking to another cfm page, I am wanting to send the user to a different URL completely.
What is the best way to send a user to a new URL after they signout, check code below.
public string function logOut() {
auth.logOut();
return forward('public.Home', 'home');
}
The <cflocation> tag comes to mind. Inside a cfscript block, it's the location() function. Details are in the documentation.

Coldfusion 8 Submit Changes does not save Mail Server Settings in CF Administrator

I am currently running Coldfusion 8,0,1,195765 on a Windows 2003 SP 2 server over IIS 6.0.
I needed to change one of the Mail Server Settings in the ColdFusion Administrator, but when I clicked Submit Changes, the page appeared to refresh, and the field was reverted.
I made a change to another page to make sure that changes could be made, and sure enough, the change was applied.
There are no errors shown - everything looks normal, aside from the change.
I was able to make my changes programatically, using mail.cfc, and my change did appear in CF Admin.
My concern is that mail functions have been corrupted or compromised - my primary request for the stackoverflow gurus is how can I restore my Mail Server Settings functionality?
My secondary request is How could this have happened?
Thank you for reading my question.
I am having a similar problem with debugging.
Regarding your first question... You can access the administrator api programatically. Here's how you can verify connection and verify what the current settings are:
<cfscript>
/* you must log in first */
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator"); // this assumes default installation
adminObj.login("password"); // enter your cf admin password
mailServerObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.mail");
value = mailServerObj.getMailServers();
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#value#">
Value is an array of your current mail server settings.
To make a change change the last part of your script to:
mailServerObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.mail");
mailServerObj.setMailServers(
"yourMailServer",
portNumber,
username="yourUsername",
password="yourPassword",
priority="yourServerPriority");
value = mailServerObj.getMailServers();
The only required value is the entry for yourMailServer. Also, the optional value, portNumber, must be numeric.

Editing SharePoint2010 List from Out side windows app.

Actually I am trying to add items in a share point List from a windows application. It all goes fine when I added the web reference and the able to get the all the offerings listed for Lists.asmx.
When I execute my program and try to call listServiceObj.GetListAndview("Customers","");
It gives me error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized" . Please note that at this time my credentials and url of the service reference were;
SpListService.Lists spListService = new SpListService.Lists();
spListService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
spListService.Url = "http://localhost/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
XmlNode customerListView = spListService.GetListAndView("Customers", "");
Then I Changed the above code to ;
SpListService.Lists spListService = new SpListService.Lists();
spListService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
spListService.Url = "http://<PC-Name>/sites/Home/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
XmlNode customerListView = spListService.GetListAndView("Customers", "");
then I recieved the following error;
"Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown."
I have made the logged in user in the group of full controll. also the member of the Administrator group.. but same result....
Also please note that when try and access "http://localhost/" or "http:///" it gives me access denied page of SP2010.... instead I have to write "http:///sites/Home/SitePages/Home.aspx" to open my team site collection
I really stuck in to this .... would be really pleased to have some solution to this problem of mine...... Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem when I implemented my first SharePoint lists Web Service client. The reason was that the autogenerated client class actually introduced itself as a Mozilla web browser by default! The SharePoint server did not allow basic authentication for browsers so the client was actually redirected to firewall login page.
I suggest you to inherit another class from the Lists class and do the following:
Set another user agent value in constructor.
Set the "preauthenticate" property to true. This should force the client to send the credentials in the first request, not only after they have been asked for.
If necessary, try giving the credentials explicitly.
See the example below.
public class CustomizedLists : Lists
{
public CustomizedLists() : base()
{
this.UserAgent = "Some SharePoint client";
this.PreAuthenticate = true;
System.Net.ICredentials creds = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pwd");
this.Credentials = creds.GetCredential(uri, "Basic");
}
}
