ColdFusion must be set to automatically check for updates.
Description
Discussion Text
Security flaws with software applications are discovered daily. Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered security vulnerabilities. To configure the software to discover that a new patch is available is important since administrators may be responsible for multiple servers running different applications and services, making it difficult for the administrator to constantly check for updates. Enabling the automatic check informs the administrator, allows him to investigate the patch and what is needed to apply the patch and schedule any outages that might be needed, thereby permitting the patch to be installed quickly and efficiently.
Having "Automatically Check for Updates" checked causes ColdFusion to look for updates on every logon.
