Web Proxy Server on Windows 2003

Hello,
We presently run iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 SP2 on Windows 2000.
We would like to upgrade to v3.6 SP6 (the latest), but cannot seem to get it working on Windows Server 2003.
Is it supported on Windows 2003 ? Has anyone got it working on Windows 2003 ?
regards,
Mark Lawrence

More information.
The exact problem is that when we try to go to the Admin page http://localhost:8000 we are prompted for login, but then we get "there has been an internal error"
In the event log we get "Faulting application index.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.3790.0, fault address 0x0002d3bd.

Web Proxy Server - Cache Windows Updates

I''ve just installed Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.9 on our Network, but I'm having a hard time getting it to cache Windows updates.
Any help?

And here is the obj.conf file:
I would like it to cache as most as possible, inlculding windows updates.
# You can edit this file, but comments and formatting changes
# might be lost when the admin server makes changes.
# Use only forward slashes in pathnames--backslashes can cause

Can i setup a secure reverse proxy using sun one web proxy server and windows 2000?

I've tried this on IPlanet Proxy 3.6 and, after reading the documentation, realized that SSL is not supported on the Windows platform. So I'm asking if it is supported using Sun One Web Proxy Server

Hi,
Yes, What you say is right.
"The NT and Windows 2000 versions of iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 do not support SSL".
Sun One Web Proxy Server is as same as iPlanet webproxy server.
May be in future relase of proxy server SSL will be supported in Win2000.

Sun Java System Web Proxy Server (4.0.2) - manage server will not start

In short here's the scenario and main problem.
a. Proxy admin server start - no problem
b. Create a new manage server (no proxying - just testing it) using different port. It just won't start. No logs produced either.
Here's the server.xml for the new manage server.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Nothing seems to be wrong with this. The XML format follows the specified DTD.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Yes. This is really odd.
Anyway to make the whole story short, i uninstall this proxy server 4.0.2 on this server (say server1) and try to reinstall a new proxy 4.0.13 but having odd problem (i have administration rights)
Here it goes.
a. CMD java -version is 1.4.2_XX
b. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe - nothing happen.
c. CMD setup --javahome c:\jdk1.6_XX - nothing happen
Here retrying.
a. Login to server2 and map conection to server1
b. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe on server1 (while on server2) - setup.exe runs. This proves the proxy setup.exe on server1 is good.
c. Make a copy of proxy 4.0.13 on server2
d. Login to server1 and map connection to server2
e. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe on server2 (while on server1) - setup.exe did not run.
Both servers are on the same domain and i'm using same ID to access both servers
Again, no logs on the windows events (security, application, system)
This is becoming mind a boggling mystery.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks.

How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

Configuring authentication in web proxy server

We are using iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 on WindowsNT 4.0
After installation of iplanet web proxy server 3.6, and making a request for internet access through browser it does not ask for authentication. There is no pop up window received for user name password to authenticate users.
Upon creating a group and then adding a few members (user1,user2,user3 etc.) to it, we configure rules to restrict user access to internet in the Global settings tab. After saving all the configuration and taking a restart of the proxy server, when we try to log on to internet from a
different client machine (browser) using an existing user id and password, it does not prompt us for user name and password even though the option "restrict access" in global setting is properly set.
My first question......
=>DOES iPlanet Web Proxy allow for such authentication pop up ??
=> If Yes, then kindly let us know where we have gone wrong in configuring the server.
We are NOT using any webserver or LDAP to authenticate users. No SSL is enabled.
Please suggest.

This error message shows that its not able to get the socket connection to the server.Can anyone tell me the reason of it.
If you need any more info do let me know.
Regards,
Somendra

First of all, is there a reason why you are using jRockit?
Since the issue appeared after upgrading the windows, the issue would potentially be in the interaction between JVM and OS.
Also, there were some issues related to memory leak that were fixed in AS 8.2.
May be you should try with a Sun JVM and AS 8.2.

Oracle 9i R1 application server With Windows 2003 server

Hi all,
I am Getting error (Web Forms can install only Windows NT/2000) When installing Oracle 9i R1 application server in Windows 2003 SP1.
is any specific setting or workarounds available to install in Windows 2003 Server?.
Abk

setup.exe -ignore sysprereqs this may work because it will detect that you dont have the appropiated OS, but it will ignore under your responsability and keep installing.
Also you may try to modify the oraparam.ini in the install folder, and add some lines for the Windows version that you have, but this is more difficult, because you should use the exact name of the Version in order to pass this check.
Regards.

Does the 2.1 web policy agent for Windows 2003 work on a 64 bit OS ?

No. 64bit support is not there for 2.1 agents on Windows.

'-1' bytes in log file - iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6

I'm running iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6, and getting strange results in log file using extended format. Where the number of bytes should be (c1 - the content-length sent to the client by the proxy).
I regularly get a '-1' instead of the number of bytes. Anyone tell me where this is coming from and how to stop it?

Someone in the Web Proxy Server forum might. I guess you accidentally posted in the Web Server forum. However, if your question is time- or business-critical, you should probably contact Sun directly: http://www.sun.com/support

Anyone running UPK 3.5 (Server) on Windows 2003-64 bit?

I am trying to install UPK 3.5 Server on Windows 2003-64 bit, with the Oracle 11g client, connecting to an 11.1.0.7 Oracle database that's on a remote server. The installation is failing with a connectivity error that I suspect is related to the 64-bit configuration. But before I throw in the towel and revert to Windows 2003-32 bit, I thought I'd see if anyone out there is successfully using the 64-bit version who can help me out.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Janene

Ok, So I am finally able to install UPK 3.5.1 on Windows 2008 Server 64 bit.
My database sit on linux machine which is OEL 5 64 bit.
Now , I am facing different issues :( .. like windows authntication and user privilges even though the user i am using in installer has SYSDBA privilges still it doesnt take it
installation guide is pathetic .. sorry to say ..
my solution was this ..
The development team has gotten back to me. They have requested stated the following:
"This error is an Oracle message. We have addressed this particular error a few times. The error message indicates that our installer is not finding an Oracle ODBC driver to use to make the connection. The installer looks in the registry for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers key to find any with "Oracle" in the name to try connecting with. Please get a screenshot of this registry key."
If the registry is empty, please attach the screenshot and navigate to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html.
Unzip the 32 bit into C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_1_X32 folder. You have to unzip both the instantclient-basic-win32-11.1.0.6.0.zip and instantclient-odbc-win32-11.1.0.6.0.zip.
After unzipping, run the odbc_install.exe this will install and register the driver for the 32 bit into the (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers).
thanks guys .. please always share ur solutions..

Safari cannot open the page ~ The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)

Help! I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:
Cannot open Page
Safari cannot open the page
The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
I have had all the Apple iPhone phone. Have never encountered anything like this.
All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi.
Can anyone help, please.

I am also fixed. I also loaded Onavo, but that was the other day ... this is what I did with the help of online chat with AT&T ...
I went to:
Settings
Wifi
I selected the network I was working on by hitting the blue arrow located on right side
At the detail page of that network I scolled down to the bottom to find HTTP Proxy boxes
I was on Off and changed it to Auto and it worked!
I was soo jazzed!!
Instructions said if it was already on AUTO, to change it to Manual and make your Port = 80 but I didn't have to do that!
YIPPIE!! I'm a new man!!
Go to settings -----> WI-FI -----> select the network you're using ------> hit the blue arrow located on the right-side of the network name (ie: show details of that network), this takes you to another page.
--------> at the bottom of the page you'll see "HTTP Proxy" boxes (located below the "renew lease" button) ---------------> change the proxy to AUTO. Note: if you're already at AUTO, change it to "Manual" and make your Port = 80.

Dear ahmad@bzu,
I suspect that your download is corrupted. Check the file size ( for me it shows up 89,328KB(and the installation went smooth). So a possible solution should be to download again and try the installation.
