Can't connect to production API

[JoelVogt]

Hello!

I thought I had everything ready for today, but I'm having issues connecting to the production API.  When I try I just get "Connection Failure".  I switch over to the test API and I at least get a message that says that my credentials are not valid.

I'm running ColdFusion 11 with all the updates installed.

Java version 1.7.0_51

When I post to https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll I get the response that I have the wrong login credentials.

When I post to https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll I get the response: Connection Failure.

I have even imported the secure.authorize.net secure certificate hopeing that would help, but it didn't.

Nothing I try seems to help.

Thank  you!!!

To further follow up, I signed up for a sandbox account (couldn't remember my old one) and ran a transaction through and got:

https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll 3,1,6,(TESTMODE) The credit card number is invalid.,000000,P,0,,CC Ref: 92389,1.00,CC,auth_capture,,Joel,Vogt,,2224 Terminal Road,Roseville,MN,55113,,USA,,6512556239,,,,,,,,,,,,,,E7444E4C7FC16651C8F7899AB20C2A42,FALSE,

Looks to me like I'm able to connect to the sandbox but not the production site.

Thanks!

Upgrade to java 1.8 as that made the difference for us on our Coldfusion 11 box
