  • Any idea on binding the iplanet directory server to portal server profile server.

    i need to know the functionality of profile server and LDAP server with respect to SUN one portal server

    Directory Server allows you to store, manage, and search for entries and their associated attributes in a number of different languages. An internationalized directory can be an invaluable corporate resource, providing employees and business partners with immediate access to the information they need in the languages they can understand.
    The directory supports all international characters set by default because directory data is stored in UTF-8.Further, Directory Server allows you to specify matching rules and collation orders based on language preferences in search operations.
    Note :
    You must use ASCII characters for attribute and object class names.

  • Active Directory Server Problem

    Hi All,
    This mail Seeks to get help from people who have worked with Active Directory Server.
    The following is our Current scenario.
    We are in the process of establishing an SSL connection to Active Directory Server from java environment(a standalone class) in Windows 2000.
    1.Active Directory Server is installed in an independent Win 2k machine.
    2.SSL is enabled in the Active Directory Server Machine by installing the Enterprise Root Certificate.
    3.Microsoft High Encryption pack is installed in both the client and the Server(AD)
    4.The .cer file from the AD machine is imported in to the Client's keystore(cacerts) using the keytool utility.
    5.The AD m/c is part of a domain named "rsa" and client m/c is part of the domain named "cts"
    With the above setup,The following code tries to Establish an SSL context to the AD through JNDI.
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ldap://blr03srv1.rsa.com:636");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "ssl");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=rsa,DC=com");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"password");
    try{
         DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
         ctx.close();
    }catch (Exception e){
         e.printStackTrace();
    When we try to run this Client we are facing a SSLHandShakeException with a message saying "No trusted certificate found".
    As far as we know the .cer file is successfully imported in to the cacerts which is used by the J2SE as the default keystore.
    Hence we ran out of ideas,as we think that there could be some other issue which is causing this problem.
    We are looking forward to get inputs from AD enlightened people to Solve this issue
    Thanks in Advance,
    Manivannan.A

    I had problem the same and still I did not obtain to decide it, if for perhaps obtaining he passes me the solution.

  • JMS Exception when server goes down (Urgent) ?

    Hi All,
    I have three topics in the JMS Server which is on the top of Web logic server 8.1.
    On the client side I have Swing thick cleint.For each topic I have a listener.
    When the web logic server goes down ( I shut down manually ) Only one listener is recieving the Exception and the Swing client reacts accordingly.
    After this ,
    Client continousoly checks whether the server is up or not. Once the server is up again the Exception is thrown that server is down ( I guess now the second listener is recieving the message).
    After some time again the third listener recives the message.....
    and the client reacts on that exception 3 times.
    How can I get rid of this ?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    this is probably a very good question to ask support. 'Logical' deployment sequence
    was added to the WebLogic only recently (6.1sp?) ('logical' means that first datasources
    are deployed, then EJB's and then web-apps, deployment-order parameter was added etc).
    So, for applications where shutdown sequence is important there must be a document which
    describes how server shutdown works.
    On the other hand, this may not be as important as deployment sequence, because running
    instance can crash at any time and it should not affect anything.

    Hi,
    Most of my ejbs use connection from the connection pool. At the weblogic server shut
    down time (heavy load), I can see the jsps call the ejb, sometime jsp can't find
    the bean because it's removed from jndi. sometime jsp found the bean but when the
    bean try to talk to database, ejb can't use the connection because the datasource
    is removed from jndi. Also my shutdown class waits for the threads finish up, and
    the threads calls the ejb and do the db operation, and the conn is cut when the db
    operation is half way. So, the order of events when server shut down is important
    to me. I am wondering how other people deal with it. Thanks --

  • TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

    cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
    in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
    all help is much appreciated.
    interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

    this may or may not help - but give it a try.  On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella.  below are the steps this use listed.  (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same.  In short it looks like their server names have changed.  An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.)  Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings.  (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
    See if this helps.
    why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3.  The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi. 
    This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP. 
    Incoming server settings
    IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 143
    Security type - none 
    Outgoing Server settings
    SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 25
    Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
    and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

  • How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

    How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
    I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
    another one with all users.
    I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
    Thanks
    sz

    While
    the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
    information that are already in the system?  Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list. 
    Here’s our plan:
    Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
    Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
    Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
    Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
    Let’s get going!  Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer.  I also want to give credit Laura
    Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
    Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step.  I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
    So obviously we need a contacts list.  If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
    From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
    So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010.  Let’s add our elements to the form. 
    Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
    Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon.  This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
    Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above.  With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon. 
    Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
    You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
    We should end up with something like this:
    Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
    Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
    Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
    For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL.  Click Next.
    Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
    For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName.  Click Next.
    Click Next on the next two screens.
    On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
    Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
    Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
    Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
    Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
    In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
    Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom.  At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
    (Secondary) option.  Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName.  Click ok. 
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
    connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW.  At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form).  Expand this, then pc:Person,
    and highlightAccountId.  Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
    If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user.  So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for.  We take the AccountID field from the people
    picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection. 
    Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
    In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
    We’re closing in on our goal.  Let’s see our progress.  We should see something like this:
    Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form.  The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate.  We need to add an action step for
    each field.  I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields.  Let’s update the Job Title field.
    Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Highlight the field Job Title.
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
    drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option.  Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field.  Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
    Data button, then Add. 
    For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group.   The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
    under PropertyData.  Click Ok. 
    In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text.  Then type the text Title. 
    Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane.  The last previous screen will look like this.
    We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory.  You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc.  For the other fields, the
    steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change.  Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
    We’re all done, good work!  You can preview the form and try it now.  Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form.  Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library.  Click File –> Quick
    Publish.  Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
    Now open your form in SharePoint.  From the contact list, click Add new item.  Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

  • Active Directory - Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 (Server Formatting or not productive

    Hello guys, I come here to try to clarify a great doubts regarding Server Operating Systems, I will attempt to detail the most of my scenario.
    Suppose I have a Server 2008 R2 in production, and this is my Active Directory server (meudominio.local) and am managing through Group Policy settings my workstations that are around 60-70 computers, guys my doubts the thing is, if I need some time to format
    and perform a fresh installation of my server as it will be my Active Directory? Of course I will have lost my domain controller and I have to accomplish the placement of each workstation again that enters my domain one by one.
    I know there is the option of AD replication, so we call the Active Directory, even for another version of the Operating System, prátia already realized this, but it most often comes not functioning properly, done without replication problems Server 2003 to
    2008 R2.
    Guys like to know a solution to not having to put my plants in my domain network again one by one, is there any way to backup so that when I reinstalled the system and the AD again in my server stations return to "see" again that server as your domain
    controller, even me installing AD with the same domain name before this formatting stations do not respond to this driver in this case do the Network ID or add the station to the area again, so she creates a new user profile for example (Max.meudominio) while
    your old profile "guy" still remains on the machine, I adopted the practice of editing the record of this newly created profile and pointing him well for the old user folder which contains all data and settings, eg edit my key "ProfileImagePath"
    regedit logged in with the newly created profile (Max.meudominio) ->
    (switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max.meudominio) thus pointing to the folder before replacing in the field again this season after formatted server, thus ->
    (Switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max), detail that we give permission for all such user "C:\Users\Max" folder, after that restart the computer and he comes back with the user profile and all your settings.
    I wonder if there is another method to perform this procedure, do not know even a backup AD to not have to replace all the seasons again "meudominio.local".
    Thank you for your attention!
    Translation with Google translator! Sorry.

    As the practice of replication I know her mostly said she has some flaws when I do the replication of my domain to another server but it works correctly, so having a server "master" and the other ServidorBKP as "slave", in redundancy,
    the problem is when I say, and put the "ServidorBKP" being my primary domain controller and disabling my main controller, to disable or turn off my main controller the stations themselves are unable to login because it does not communicate with the
    my ServidorBKP "slave" even I put it as the main driver of course.
    Regarding the System State as far as I know this option existed in Server 2003.
    I also got some information, confer on the links below.

  • BO XI 3.1 : Active Directory Authentication failed to get the Active Directory groups

    Dear all 
            In our environment, there are 2 domain (domain A and B); it works well all the time. Today, all the user belong to domain A are not logi n; for user in domain B, all of them can log in but BO server response is very slowly. and there is error message popup when opening Webi report for domain B user. Below are the error message: 
           " Active Directory Authentication failed to get the Active Directory groups for the account with ID:XXXX; pls make sure this account is valid and belongs to an accessible domain"
          Anyone has encountered similar issue?
       BO version: BO XI 3.1 SP5
       Authenticate: Windows AD
    Thanks and Regards

    Please get in touch with your AD team and verify if there are any changes applied to the domain controller and there are no network issues.
    Also since this is a multi domain, make sure you have 2 way transitive forest trust as mentioned in SAP Note : 1323391 and FQDN for Directory servers are maintained in registry as per 1199995

  • Active Directory server is not available

    i have just setup and started testing a new exchange 2007 on my network. we did not have a exchange before, so this is a new install.
    my domain, xxx.com is a windows 2000 native AD. the exchange 2007 is a win 2003 sp1 x64, it is also a DC and has all roles assigned to it
    in my network i have
    dc01 win2000 sp4  dc (gc)
    dc02 win2000 sp4 dc (gc)
    exch01 win 2003 sp1 dc, rid, pdc, fmso, gc, infrastucture and naming
    the install went well, and i have been testing it for the past 2 weeks this dummy accounts. test smtp connectors, etc. all was working fine. to the point that i have started planing the migration of the users
     today i did some mods to IIS for a owa free SSL from startcom (as well as the root CAs). i have remove it since.
    i now get the following errors when i start the console, or shell. :
    Active Directory server exch01.xxx.com is not available. Error message: A local error occurred.
    It was running command 'get-ExchangeAdministrator'.

    HELP.. i have no idea what it does not like.
     exbpa does not report anything, i even get it to connect to the exch01 for it AD access.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Paul Gartner
    (over all i like what i have been seeing in ex2007) 

    i think that you might be confusing "AD user account" and "profile". you DO NOT delete administrator from your AD Users and Computers. you only delete the Profile (\documents and settings\administrator folder). you can NOT do this while you are logged on using the administrator account.
    be sure to backup any data in your my documents and any favorites
    create another user that is in the domain admin group of your active directory, log on with that account and verify that the exchange tools works. then follow this to remove the profile.
    >1). Logon the Exchange server by using another admin account.

  • Cannot Print. "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable"

    Hi there
    I cannot print and I have not been able to find the fix via existing forum threads.
    System: 
    Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit German - Profile language is Danish (installed a week ago and completely windows updated)
    Office 365 Small Business Premium
    HP DV8 Laptop. i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM
    HP LaserJet P1006 USB printer.
    Problem
    No matter if I try to print from IE, Notebook, Word 2013 or anything else, I cannot chose my printer (P1006).
    If I try to Add Printer in Word 2013, I get the "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" error. 
    In Devices and Printers, the P1006 is visible, but there is no driver installed.
    Trying to install the correct driver: 
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3435683&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=3435682&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4063
    only creates a general error during installation: "Printer  Software Installer has stopped working - A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows closes the program and will notify you if a solution has been found"
    I have tried all the solution software from Windows, from HP (for the laptop and for the printer) - but nothing comes up with any details or suggestions. 
    What should I try?
    Absolutely everything else works perfectly on the system.

  • Is it a safe to install DFS namespace service to an Active Directory Server?

    Hi All,
    Is it safe and/or best practice to install a DFS namespace server to a server that runs an Active directory services?
    I have read a blog in which, as much as possible, active directory server should only run the directory services and no other installed services. But we're running out of a physical server and our virtual environments were already full so I'm hoping that
    DFS namespace server could be installed to the AD server.
    Also, if its possible , what could be the possible conflicts/problems/errors that we might encounter in the near future of running this 2 services into a single server?
    Appreciate any suggestions and feedbacks.

    Hi,
    >>Is it safe and/or best practice to install a DFS namespace server to a server that runs an Active directory services?
    Yes, we can host DFS namespace on domain controllers. However, as the following article states:
    When deciding whether to host a DFS namespace on a domain controller, consider the following factors:
    Only members of the Domain Admins group can manage a DFS namespace hosted on a domain controller.
    If you plan to use a domain controller to host a DFS namespace, the server hardware must be sized to handle the additional load. As described in the previous question, root servers that host large or multiple namespaces require additional memory.

    any one help me to fix this issue

    Hi,
    It is most likley due to a replication Issue in your AD, check the previous thread on the topic:https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/1d377109-4fa9-4608-8a3a-cefd436e82ee/error-8224-when-extending-active-directory-schema
    Make sure that all replication issues are solved and try again.

  • Event ID 31138 "during the active directory update not -uc enabled agents were found"

    Hi All,
    I have Lync standard 2013 server on-premise and Exchange Office 365. I have enabled my users for Voice. 
    When I add a user to a response group I get the warning that the user is not enterprise voice enabled. This is strange as the user is enterprise enabled and can make and receive calls. 
    I also have Event ID 31138 on my Front End server. 
    "during the active directory update not -uc enabled agents were found
    The following agents are specified as agents but are not UC enabled:
    sip:[email protected]"
    Any thoughts? 

    Hi,
    Did you change the default SIP Domain before?
    If yes. You may need to remove agent from database. As the agents of a Response Group are added to the rgsconfigdatabase, within the database you will find a table called dbo.Agents. When open it you will see an overview of theagents which are member
    of the groups. You can do the following steps to remove an agent from this table:
    Right click on the dbo.Agents table and select the option Edit Top 200 rows
    Search for the user and remove the specific record.
