Note: You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag's attribute names as structure keys.

action

all

Required

The action to take. Must be one of the following values:

• open: Open a new persistent named connection
• close: Close a named connection
• getSubfolders: Get information about the subfolders of a specific folder.

connection

all

Required for open and close actions

The name of the connection. You can specify this ID in any tag that you use with the open connection.

ExchangeApplicationName

opengetSubfolders

Optional

exchange

The name of the Exchange application to
use in the URL that accesses the server.
Specify this attribute if your IIS server
does not use the default name for your
Exchange application.

ExchangeServerLanguage

opengetSubfolders

Optional

english

The language of the Exchange server.
If you are not sure, you can specify the
empty string.
For all values except english, including
the empty string, the tag tries to get
folder names from the server in the
client's local language.
In some cases, such as when there is a
large amount of data on the server,
it might take significant time to
get folder names from Exchange server
in the local language.

folder

getSubfolders

Optional

The root of the mailbox

The forward slash delimited path from
the root of the mailbox to the folder for
which to get subfolders. If a folder name
contains a forward slash, use the xF8FF
escape sequence to specify the character
in the name.

formBasedAuthentication

opengetSubfolders

Optional

no

A Boolean value that specifies whether
to display a login form and use form based authentication when making the connection.
If the attribute value is no (the default),
and the Exchange server returns a 440 
error status when ColdFusion tries to
connect, ColdFusion displays the
login form and attempts to use
form based authentication.
Therefore, you can safely omit this
attribute if you do not know if the
server requires form based authentication.

formBasedAuthenticationURL

opengetSubfolders

Optional

The URL to which to post the user ID and
password when an Exchange server
uses form-based authentication.
Use this attribute only if your Exchange
server does not use default URL for
form-based authentication.
The default URL has the form https://exchangeServer/exchweb/bin/
auth/owaauth.dll, for example, {{

}}.

mailboxName

opengetSubfolders

Optional

The ID of the Exchange mailbox to use. Specify this attribute to access a mailbox whose owner has delegated access rights to the account specified in the username attribute.

name

getSubfolders

Required

The name of the ColdFusion query variable that contains information about the subfolders.

password

opengetSubfolders

Optional

The user's password for accessing the Exchange server.

port

opengetSubfolders

Optional

80

The port the server listens to, most commonly port 80.

protocol

opengetSubfolders

Optional

http

The protocol to use for the connection. Valid values are http and https.

proxyHost

opengetSubfolders

Optional

The URL or IP address of a proxy host, if necessary for access to the network.

proxyPort

opengetSubfolders

Optional

The port on the proxy server to connect to, most commonly port 80.

recurse

getSubfolders

Optional

false

A Boolean value:

• true: get information on the immediate subfolders of the specified folder only.
• false: get information on all levels of subfolders of the specified folder.

server

opengetSubfolders

Required

The IP address or URL of the server that is providing access to Exchange.

serverVersion

Optional

Specifies the Microsoft Exchange Server version. The values are:

• 2013 
  
• 2016
• 2019

The value you specify overrides the value that you specify at the application level.

username

opengetSubfolders

Required

The Exchange user ID.

Note: If you specify the getSubfolders action, you can specify the attributes that are listed as working for both the open and getSubfolders actions only if you do not specify a connection attribute.

Note: To establish any connection, the Exchange server must grant you Outlook Web Access. For information on how to enable this access, see Enabling access to the Exchange server in Managing connections to the Exchange server in the Developing ColdFusion Applications. Also, you cannot establish a connection to an Exchange server if you require a special authentication step, such as requiring a VPN PIN or performing biometric authentication, on a server that is outside your firewall, and the authentication server then routes the messages to your Exchange server inside the firewall.

FOLDERNAME

The name of the subfolder, for example, ColdFusion.

FOLDERPATH

The forward slash  delimited path to the folder from the mailbox root, including the folder name, for example, Inbox/Marketing/ColdFusion.

FOLDERSIZE

Size of the folder in bytes.

Note: The ColdFusion exchange tags, including cfexchangeconnection use WebDAV to connect to the exchange server. HTTP access must be enabled on the exchange server to use the tags.
