CF10 - returntype JSON HTTPS - Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher

[Prem_Radhakrishnan]

I have a ColdFusion service that doing basic authentication using SQL and returning a structure as JSON

The structure has one element AUTHENTICATED = true . The JSON looks like below

{

  "AUTHENTICATED": true

}

The service works just fine when using HTTP but when using HTTPS I get this error  .

An error occurred while trying to encrypt or decrypt your input string: Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher.

Could you show us the code that is causing the error?

Apparently nothing untoward about the code. So the error message is likely from Tomcat. As your Coldfusion code is correct, you are justified in reporting the issue as a bug.
