Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

SmugMug API SSL Problem
Hi,

I Emailed SmugMug support about this issue with our subscription and I was directed to post in this forum.

We make use of the API over HTTP on our website. When performing a login we use HTTPS for passing the credentials to the "smugmug.login.useHash" method and have up until now had no problems.

Yesterday all of the pages which make calls to the SmugMug api stopped working and all my application language (Adobe ColdFusion) reports is "Connection Failure: Status code unavailable", which as you can imagine is fairly useless.

After many hours of digging it seems that the issue is related only to the HTTPS calls to the SmugMug API - I can make HTTP calls with no error, but as soon as I go back to using HTTPS (which we have used successfully till this point for around 2 years) I can no longer connect.

From what I can find out it looks like perhaps the list of trusted certificates that ColdFusion inspects when making a HTTPS request can not find the certificate that is in use on the SmugMug API. Have any recent changes been made to the certs in use for the API the last few days by any chance?

This problem has been driving me nuts for hours as all the pages using the API calls on our site are now broken! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Akamai handles our certs and it looks like they updated them recently. You'll have to configure your app to accept the new ones.

So now the official SmugMug Lightroom plugin gives an SSL error. On inspecting the cert, it looks like its domain is a248.e.akamai.net, which doesn't match any smugmug domain. Is there a way to update the valid certs within the lightroom plugin?
