Recommended way to secure my TCP/IP Communication

This may be basic, sorry, but I never had to worry about this.
What is the recommended way to secure my TCP/IP communication?
I will have a simple server listening on a TCP socket and servicing client requests. Unfortunately, the server must run at a site only accessible to the client via the internet. The client is a .NET (C#) application. Typically, I'd connect the 2 easily with standard sockets and be done. In this case, I must protect the information being transfered.
What would you use? SSL? I am not too familiar on how to do this on the .NET end.

A common way to secure communications over TCP is SSL, yes. If your question is "How do use SSL in my .NET client?" then perhaps you should seek a more appropriate forum.

Recommended way to secure page

Hi Experts,
Can u tell me what is the recommended way to secure a page??
1. secure page def
or
2. I have to add page in bounded taskflow and secure TF.
Thanks

If you have to restrict access to a whole page which is not part of a BTF, it will be enough to secure the page's PageDef. It is not necessary to wrap the page in a BTF.
If the page is part of a BTF, you cannot secure it alone but you can secure the whole BTF only. Permissions on a BTF are propagated to all the TF activities within the BTF (including the view activities - pages and fragments).
If you need to apply security policies only on particular components within a page, then you can use EL expressions like #{securityContext.userInRole['MyRole']} in order to exclude the necessary components from the view tree (e.g. using components' "rendered" attribute), to hide or disable them (e.g. using their "visible" and "disabled" attributes), to make them read-only (e.g. using their "readonly" attribute), etc. Have a look here for other useful EL expressions:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm#BGBIFHDF
For example, you can use this approach to secure menu items and command components (e.g. buttons and links) in other pages that navigate to a secured page or BTF. You should disable or hide these components conditionally if the user has no rights to access the corresponding secured page or BTF. If you do not disable/hide these components, an user could use them, the framework would try to navigate to the page and an exception would be thrown because the user had no rights to access the page.

TCP\IP Communication in the XI

Hello,
We have a scenario in which we have to communicate with a 3rd party system from our ECC system using the tcp\ip protocol. We used the XI by building a BPM with a transformation step that uses a java class, in which we opened a socket connection and sent and received our messages, as described in the weblog .<a href="/people/saravanakumar.kuppusamy2/blog/2005/12/15/socket-integration-with-xi:///people/saravanakumar.kuppusamy2/blog/2005/12/15/socket-integration-with-xi
The main problem we encountered is that we have to maintain a continuous connection to the 3rd party system, and we can't find a way to make this possible using the XI (it keeps stateless beans for the transformation steps, therefore closing the connection when the class run ends).
Is there a way to maintain a continuous connection of tcp\ip from the XI? Maybe by using an adapter?
Thanks in advance,
Tal.

I used the transformation class to call a custom web service that keeps the connection open and handles all tcp/ip communication.

What is the recommended way to launch a web-start enabled Java application?

Hello,
I have a simple web-start enabled Java application, which I can launch from a brower by entering :
https://xx.xx.x.xxx/MyApp/launch.html
This method would show me a page. I then had to click on a link to run my application.
I noticed that I could also launch my program by entering :
https://xx.xx.x.xxx/MyApp/launch.jnlp
This method would run my application right away.
I wonder if there is a recommended way to launch/run a web-start enabled Java application?
Thank you,

TCP/IP communication with LabVIEW Full?

Hi,
I would like to know if the TCP/IP VIs are included with the Base or Full version of LabVIEW?
I was looking at the different versions of LV and one of the features of the Pro version is 'Network Communication'.
I have done TCP/IP communication a while ago and I am quite sure it was with the Full version. I have the Pro version now but this is for a customer.
This brings another question: Is there a trick to be sure your code is going to work on a system with LV Base if you develop on a system with LV Pro?
Thanks!

I think that was a good answer to your first question. To answer your second question, if you are creating executables to be run on a computer with LabVIEW Base there will be no problem running the executable because LabVIEW Base has the run time engine. If you are sending VIs to another computer with LabVIEW Base they will not be able to access any VIs that are not included in there package. There is no simple way to tell that these VIs are not included except through the link in the previous post. In LabVIEW 8.6 many of the help documents state what LabVIEW package installs the VI. If all of the VIs state that they are installed with LabVIEW Base you will have no problems.

Hi,
Yes, you can specify ip-address as host-address.
What do you expect the class to do? Why does reader and writer both open sockets?
What happens when you run the program?

Tcp/ip communication problem

hello,
what i have is a tcp/ip communication problem. the server needs to see the connection on the client side terminate before it can reply with data. so i'm not sure the best way to
solve this. i tried to use a sequence structure to have the client open a connection and then send data across the port and then terminate the connection. the next part in the sequence would then open a connection and wait for the reply form the server. i had this in a while loop. an example vi would be very appreciated

Recommended way to unit test mobile cross platform C++ in Visual Studio 2015

Hello,
I'm playing with the new Visual Studio 2015 to check its capabilities for cross platform development using C++ as coding language. I've seen several videos in Channel9 about this feature but I don't remember hearing in any of these a word about how
to unit test such projects from Visual Studio 2015. Is there some recommended way to create unit tests for such projects?
I'm not sure I can use Visual Studio test projects for C++ to test the android library or the Windows Phone 8.1. If I add a new platform ARM to a test project of those, I cannot select in the platform toolset combo the values that I have for my libraries
(Clang 3.4 and Windows 8.1 respectively). So it seems that such test projects are not addressed for cross platform c++ in VS2015.
I also have tried to make a second cross platform library project to contain the tests, adding there the Catch.h file from catch framework or adding the files from Google Test framework. My idea was to link each cross platform test library with their corresponding
"production code" libraries. In both cases (catch and gtest) I have problems when trying to compile the test framework files (not sure if it is not possible or just my fault being new at C++ for mobile platforms).
Has anyone succeeded unit testing the cross platform c++ code in VS2015? How?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge.

Hi Jorge,
Thanks you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, since VS2015 Preview is previews for the next major release of Visual Studio, currently we forums don’t provide support for VS2015 Preview. So the product team would accept the suggestions or feedbacks for the VS2015 now.
So you can submit the feedback/suggestions to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously. Thanks for your understanding.
After you submit the feedback, you can post the link here which will be beneficial for other members with the similar issue. And I will help you to vote it.
Thank you for your understanding.

Recommend way to replace doJoin

I have nested TiledViews. In NetDynamics the Data Objects that
populated their fields were joined using the doJoin method. What
is the recommended way of getting this same behavior in JATO 1.2.x?
I have been trying, with little success, to get the values from the
parent TiledView's Model and set them as where-criteria for the child
TiledView's Model.
Thanks,
paul
code from ND:
CSpDataDrivenVisual CSpDDV =(CSpDataDrivenVisual) event.getSource();
return(CSpDDV.doJoin(event.getRowIndex()));

Paul
I'm happy to here you were able to diagnose the problem.
I did a prototype app that had 3 nested tiled views and got it working,
albeit, my sample requirements were not as demanding as yours (specific
db logins and such), but I learned one thing.
I found it easier to push the key value down to the child tiledview than
getting it from the parent tiledview. But sounds like no need to pursue
anymore.
good work

You were a great help though. I had been trying to get the where

great.

Paul, I think we must be missing something that is going on in your app
that is preventing you from getting the results that are expected.
Tell me, does each TiledView use a different Model class or do they use
the same Model class?
Anything else that you can tell us?

I think Craig is getting back to you with a better answer, but from a
cursory look at your message, you need to execute each TiledView's
model in
its beginDisplay() method (or beginComponentDisplay() for JATO

you doing this? In other words, each model needs to be re-executed
for each
display of the TiledView.

Craig,
Thanks for the help. I am doing this, but I'm still having problems.
I have three TiledViews on the page:
Survey
|----Questions
|----Display
I'm attempting to illustrate the way they are nested here. It seems
that the models, primary and not, are all executing on the
BeginDisplay event of the page. They execute a second time after I
set the where criteria, but it looks like the fields are already
bound
by the time the criteria is set. Also, the primary model for the
Survey TiledView is executing on the next web action. I should also
note that I have to change the defaultConnectionUser and
defaultConnectionPassword on the model before I call handleWebAction
on the repeated object; this is because there is a view in use that
is specific to the username supplied when logging in, and if I don't
change the user name the view contains no data.
The first time in the page the Survey TiledView is displayed,but the
two nested TiledViews are not; beginDisplay is called on Questions,
but NextTile returns false. When I click next, the first record is
again displayed and the correct data for Questions and Display.
However, a second click of the next button displays the sameresults.
A click on the Last button displays correct results for the last
record.
Any ideas where to look or what to look for would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Paul,
This feature of ND is not built into JATO. It was a somewhatmysterious
feature in ND. I remember it being one of the most difficult
topics
to
explain how ND made it work in my ND developer classes so it
is not
surprising that you are having issues implementing it on your own.
But the solution should end up being quite simple. We just need tomimic
what the ND framework was doing and use a bit of the JATO
framework
to
help us as well. Nested tiled views can be a bit sticky to
grasp as
well.
I don't know what your code looks like, but here is basically whatyou
should be doing. Assume CustomerListTiledView (outer) and
OrderListTiledView (inner) are the TiledView names and
CustomerListTiledView has fields CustNum and CustName, and
OrderListTiledView has OrderID, and OrderDate.
And CustomerListTiledView uses CustomerModel that has model fields
CustNum and CustName, and OrderlistTiledView uses OrderModel andhas
model fields OrderID, CustNum, and OrderDate.
I will assume that your outer TiledView is not a problem and thatthe
issue is with the inner.
In CustomerListTiledView's nextTile method (ND analog to
onBeforeRowDisplayEvent), you want to get the value of the CustNumfield
for that tile, getDisplayFieldValue("CustNum"), and use it ascriteria
for the OrderListTiledView's primary model (OrderModel). But don't
forget to clear the criteria first.
in nextTile method:
TiledView tv = (TiledView)getChild("OrderListTiledView");
SelectModel model = (SelectModel)tv.getPrimaryModel();
model.clearUserWhereCriteria();
model.addUserWhereCriterion("CustNum", getDisplayFieldValue("CustNum"));
The auto retrieve for the OrderModel in the inner tiled view will
execute it with the provided criteria on each row of the outer
tiled
view.
If this is what you are doing, show me the relevant code (noattachments
work on the group, just inline in email) and maybe I can spot thetrouble.

Is there an easy way to securely delete everything on my macbook PRO except for the OS and applications? Giving my old Macbook to a family member.

Is there an eay way to securely erase all information on my macbook Pro except for the OS and applicatios? I'm donating my computer but want to eliiminate my files and info.

Yes, boot to your install disk (start up while holding C key). Go to Utilities>Disk Utility. Choose erase and format your disk (make sure it's formatted as Mac OSX extended journaled). There's is a button for security options. Choose the 0 option (don't choose the multiple pass versions, or it will take forever, but that's extra security). The 0 option writes a 0 in every location on the drive, and it takes a few hours. It would take CIA or highly skilled hacker abilities to dig out any information.
Once you wipe the disc, reinstall OSX. You're done.

Governments and ex's will/may have recourse to the legal process (or in the case of the Gov they can choose to ignore the legal system if they feel like it) when they want to see something of yours, good luck hardening your Mac against that. The best way to avoid the possibility of snooping over public networks is to avoid them but if you can't then Kappy's suggestion will help.
Strong passwords (everywhere) and don't use the same password in multiple locations.
If you really want to secure your home wireless use Mac address connection authentication, do not allow unknown Mac addresses to connect. It's much stronger than a WPA password alone.

What is the recommended way to migrate a RH8 project to another PC?

I am hoping to get advice on the recommended way to migrate a RH8 project to another PC – the project has been upgraded from earlier version of RH and other users and appears to be carrying a lot of baggage (strange and exotic files). I looked for an “export” function but failed to see any guidance on this in the forums. Hope you can help.

Zip the folder on PC1. Copy the zip to PC2. Unzip it.
Any tidying up has to be done manually. See Reports > Unused Files.

Hi Sogaard,
see below:
How does SAP recommend to integrate Webi-report in the SAP Portal? Is it through an URL iview, the iview templates (thumbnail, folder and alert) or through the Master Iview?
The sample iViews are just samples for a particular case. The iView template allows you to use any application on the BusinessObjects system - including the viewing of content. What you are looking for is the creation process for WebI. So you have 2 options: you can use the KM integration and you can build a java application that offers the workflow you looking for and integrate it with the iView template
Depending on what method should be used, I'd like to know which settings to be focused on. For instance, if the Master Iview is to be used, should opendocument be used instead of reports? And what other customizations will have to be done in order to integrate a Webi-report instead of a Crystal-Report?
OpenDocument is for viewing reports. The Installation Guide outlines the integration of the iView template and the KM part.
What is the intended use for the BOBJ repositoy manager? Would that be the way to integrate the Info-view?
This is the integration into the KM repository which provides a richer functionality then just an iView.

From the output, you are using imq 2.0. In that release
the key used to persist a durable subscriber in the database

your value is:

which is much longer than 100 characters.
You might want to shorten the string you use for the

And yes, the default file-based persistence store is
more efficient when compared to the plugged-in persistence
through a database.
