2 different ways to setup IPSec ?

Hello,
I am currently trying to setup IPSec tunnel between a pfSense router and a Windows Server 2008R2 (The windows server is located behind a router with NAT enable).
First of all, I found two different ways to configure IPsec on Windows :
1) Through Windows Firewall with advanced Security
2) Through IPSec snap-in into MMC.
Which one should I use ?
Well, anyhow I got some troubles to negotiate phase1. By analyzing packets, it turns out that Windows server always return a NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN error code.
My settings for phase1 (on both sides):
Authentication method: PSK
Negotiation mode: main
Encryption: 3DES
Hash: SHA1
DH Key group : 2 (1024)
Lifetime: 28800
(NAT-T Enabled on pfSense)
Finally, I noticed that it is possible to define peer identifiers on pfSense. Is it possible to do the same on the windows server or does it automatically use the IP addresses as peer identifiers ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

Hi bibibubu1,
The 2008r2 can’t establish an IPsec tunnel behind NAT-T have a known issue, please confirm the following KB meet your environment then install the hotfix. Another possible
is you have select the matching Encryption schemes.
You cannot establish an IPsec tunnel to a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 through a NAT device

Different ways to setup applets... what's best?

Alright. I need some help deciding how to setup an applet. I'm a high school student and I'm going to be in a competition on Saturday that will be using Java applets. I've been trying to get my hands on as much info about it as I can, but I've seen so many different ways of displaying things on an applet that I'm not sure what to do anymore.
So here's the deal. In a book I have, they set up applets like this:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example extends JApplet
   public void init()
      getContentPane().add(new ExamplePanel ());
      set size (300, 300)
}And the other class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ExamplePanel extends JPanel
   private vars
   public ExamplePanel ()
      set up listeners and set background
   public void paintComponent (Graphics page)
      super.paintComponent (page);
      paint stuff
   event methods
}I'm pretty sure this works fine, but while on the Java website, looking for examples, I noticed that sun sets up applets like this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Example extends JPanel implements listener interfaces
   protected and private vars
   public Example ()
      set up panels, labels, basically any JComponent stuff
      create listeners
      use add(...) to put stuff on applet
   event methods
   private static void createAndShowGUI()
        JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Example");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JComponent newContentPane = new Example();
        newContentPane.setOpaque (true);
        frame.setContentPane (newContentPane);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main()
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
                createAndShowGUI();
}I don't know which way is better, but we don't have much time so I need something that's easy. The problem with the second one is that I don't know how to draw shapes on the second one and I might need to do that. I tried using paintComponent in it and things just got screwy. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know. And since that one was developed directly from Sun, I'm guessing it's more efficient, so I would like to use that one if I can just learn how to use it as easily as the first.
Also, if anyone knows a completely different way to do this that's better, please let me know.

The second Example class shows an important issue: swing is not thread safe, and thus all GUI operations, including creating the GUI itself, must be done in the event dispatch thread. Read more about it at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html#EDT.
The second class Example does also not seem to be an applet, that is why main() is used instead of init(). But even in init() you are not guaranteed that the current thread is the EDT - it is choosen by the browser you are using - and you should thus use invokeLater() there as well.
Appart from that, a component should not care if it is displayed in an applet or in an application.

Different ways to start a run?

We have written a C-Sharp application that is a GUI wrapper around TestStand to hand-hold the operator through setup and execution of a test. I have noticed the following behavior differences with each of the different ways to start a sequence file running:
a) When we useSequenceFileViewMgr.Run() to start the execution, TestStand does not prompt for a UUT serial number and it does not generate a DisplayReport event.
b) When we use SequenceFileViewMgr.GetCommand(CommandKinds.CommandKind_ExecutionEntryPoints_Set).Execute(true) to start the execution, TestStand does prompt for a UUT serial number and it does generate a DisplayReport event.
c) When we useSequenceFileViewMgr.GetCommand(CommandKinds.CommandKind_ExecutionEntryPoints_Set, 1).Execute(true) to start the execution, TestStand does not prompt for a UUT serial number and it does generate a DisplayReport event.
Are there other ways (better ways) to start an execution from a C-sharp application?
Behavior "C" is the behavior I am looking for, but I would like to understand why the calls have different results?
Can someone enlighten me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

tlaford,
What you're essentially doing is running different execution entry points. If you look at the execute menu in the sequence editor, you will see three options (with the default process model, if you have a custom process model, you may have a different number).
Test UUTs
Single Pass
Run <Name of current sequence>
When you call .Run() you're doing the same operation as Run <sequence name> from the menu. This runs just the currently selected sequence and nothing else. Great for debugging, but does not use the process model framework.
When you use one of the ExecutionEntryPoints, you are running one of the execution entry points from the process model. Those generally call into the MainSequence sequence of your client sequence file. And they perform other operations (such as gathering UUT data, and reporting) around the execution of your client file. The default process models have TestUUTs as index 0 and SinglePass as index 1.
Using the SequenceFileViewMgr is the best way to start a new execution from a user interface programmatically.
Hope this helps.

Different ways to implement OM Module

Hi All,
I am new to this, Please let me know all the 5 different ways to implement OM and PA module in HCM

Basics of OM
OM is mainly used to perform numerous business and human resources processes. As the first step an organizational plan is created. The organizational plan is a functional structure representing the enterprise. In OM, the current organizational plan can be created and additional organizational plans are created as archives (this provides a clear picture of the organization at any point in time:past, present or future). Organizational Management is the basis for additional Human Resources components and functions as well as for SAP Business Workflow.
OM is installed before Personnel Development(PD), Recruitment, Compensation Management (CM/ECM), Workflow, Time Management, Security, ESS/MSS etc. OM structure provides the foundation for these modules and streamlines business processes. For example MSS setup can be such that the manager will be able to view only the details of those working under him/her - the details of persons working under the manager are picked up from OM. Similarly data from OM is used when WF has to route the work of approving the leave of an employee to his/her manager.
OM is based on the objects and their relationships. Jobs, tasks, positions, etc are the objects. These objects are created in OM. The relationship between various objects is also stored in OM.

Can't I use my wireless mouse and trackpad in different ways when scrolling?

Since I'm a Chinese user, I prefer describing my question in my mother language...I will translate it...
在系统偏好设置里，倒是可以分别设置鼠标和触控板，但是当我打开触控板的“自然滚动”，同时取消鼠标的“滚动或导航时，使内容按手指方向移动”，之后，鼠标恢复原来的滚动方式，郁闷的使触控板的滚动方式也跟着变化了⋯⋯
但这时打开触控板的设置，“自然滚动”依然是选中的啊⋯⋯
如果这时关闭“自然滚动”，再重新开启，鼠标设置界面的“滚动或导航时，使内容按手指方向移动”虽然是为选中的，但使用时滚动方向又变成反向了⋯⋯
各位有遇到么⋯⋯我觉得是个BUG吧，期待修复⋯⋯
我的鼠标是雷柏的6900,蓝牙无线
本子是新的MBA 11‘
Well, there is two setting items in system preference for "mouse" and "trackpad", and there do have the checkbox for "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" and for "Scroll direction: natural". I checked the "Natural Scroll"---- if I may call it this way ---- option and unchecked the same option in mouse setting wishing to use my mouse and trackpad in different ways...
However, it turned out to be a confusing phenomenon like I can only use my mouse and trackpad in the way "Natural Scroll" or the way it used to be. If I double click the checkbox of "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" to refresh my settings, both my mouse and trackpad will turn into the way it used to be in scrolling while if I double click on the "Natural Scroll" checkbox, both of them will turn into the new way.
At the same time, eventhrough the setting of my mouse has been changed by the changing of trackpad setting, the checkbox in "mouse" is still unchecked and that's where makes it seems like a BUG....
So, is there anybody who meets the same problem? The reason I want to use this two device in different ways is I just don't like to use mouse in the new way, it's unconfortable for me.
And, I use a new MacBook Air 11' and a wireless mouse called Rapoo 6900
Here comes the link of my wireless mouse.
http://en.rapoo.com/ProOverview.aspx?PID=3550

jhawk,
I can see the appeal of your desired setup, but is the limitation the inability to "Pair" the mouse/keyboard to more than one computer at a time? (Practically, that makes sense, you don't want to be blindly moving both cursors around at the same time, since you can only see one screen at a time)
You CAN operate bluetooth devices on Windows without pairing-you just need to locate the device each time before using:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/09/18/winxpunwired.html
So maybe you can pair the Mac version, and just search out the device each time you switch over? (but then you would have to "unpair" it off the Mac too) Maybe you need to write two scripts for each platform: pair/unpair devices.
Sounds like it would be easier to buy two wireless keyboards and mice :P
What you really want is a utility like this:

(its only Mac to Mac though, unfortunately)
Good luck!

If we observe test query is very simple and easy to back track but in Dev it is appending like sawwith0,sawwith1 etc..looking difficult.
Is there in any configuration to change to generate query like Test(with out SAWWITH0).
NOTE:Any how results are same in both instances.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thank You,
Anil Kumar.

Anil,
Are your database settings the same in both of the rpds dev and test?
Check wether you didn't change anything to the default. Open your RDP double click on the Database in the physical layer and go to Feature you can check all the settings there

A different way to deal with "unknown" user after upgrade from Tiger.

It's a known issue that doing upgrade and install or archive and install from Tiger to Leopard, produces a lot of folders with "unknown" group in their "get info" panel. This has to do with a different group structure in Tiger and Leopard.
In Tiger, every user has their own private group with the same name as the username. That group is set to be user's primary group.
In leopard, every new user with an account is a member of the group staff (gid=20) which is not present in Tiger. Leopard doesn't fully understand Tiger's private group structure, hence the "unknown" group. This causes various problems such as Finder crashes when trying to change the permissions and ownership in the get info window.
Apple's proposed way of dealing with this is described [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307128].
However, this method doesn't change the existing group structure and doesn't resolve all the problems.
I'd like to suggest a different way of dealing with it.
1. create a new admin user (if you don't have one already), log out of your primary account and log into the new one.
2. enter the following in terminal:
*sudo dscl . delete /users/"username"*
where username is the short name of the user on the main account (not the one you are currently logged into).
This will delete that user.
3. Log out/in.
4. go to system preferences->accounts and create a new user with the name and short name exactly as the one you've deleted in step 2.
You'll be get a popup saying that a home directory by this name already exists and asking if you want to use it. Say "Yes".
That's it. Your main user will be recreated using the native group structure of Leopard with gid=20(staff). Permissions on your home directory will be reset with correct group and ownership.
I tested the process on my powerbook after an upgrade and install from Tiger to leopard and it worked without a hitch.
I like this method better than Apple's because it completely gets rid of Tiger's group structure which was creating all the confusion. The only downside as far as I can see is that you might have to manually change the group ownership on some files belonging to the main user that sit outside your home directory.
I would appreciate any comments on this.

hmm, I confess, I did this before installing 10.5.2 so i can't say for sure. However, I've dealt with a few people (see e.g. this [thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7012957]) who are running 10.5.2 and still have this issue. I don't know what if anything 10.5.2 did about this but I'm quite sure that it didn't change the group structure inherited from Tiger.

Two separate versions of the same file corrupted in different ways...

I was working on a Photoshop CS4 file last night that was created in CS4 and has only been opened on this machine in CS4. I saved the file and closed Photoshop. When I open the file today, all my layers are gone, flattened into one Background layer, and the image looks like colored TV static. On top of that, the separate, older version of this file with a different name (created earlier in the week on the same machine in the same CS4) will not open at all - I get the error message, "Could not complete your request because the file is empty" and the file size has mysteriously shrunk to 76 KB from 20+ MB. What happened?! I'm guessing these files are corrupted beyond recovery, but why and how did this happen? Has anyone had this or a similar problem? I want to know how to prevent this from happening in the future. Please help! Thank you. =)

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.
Same issue, new question - don't ask me why I did this, but while both Photoshop and the now corrupted file were open, I changed the name of the folder containing the file, then continued to save the open version of the file without first closing it and reopening it from the newly renamed folder. Could this have caused both files in that folder to become corrupted in different ways? The other file that gives me the "file is empty" error was not open at the time, but it was in that folder. I'm thinking maybe by changing the path to the files while Photoshop was running, that could have triggered this. ?? I have 3 1TB internal drives raided to read as 1 drive, so I'm really hoping that one of these disks is not dying on me as you suggested. I was also backing up an external drive using BackBlaze when this all occurred - any possible connection? How can I find out if one of my three raided drives (and which one) might be going bad?
Thanks!!

Multiple iPhoto libraries to manage photostreams in different ways

My wife and I both have iPhone's. I have a 5s and she a 5. We share an iCloud account so that all photos she takes and ones I take go into one photostream and then automatically get loaded on my iMac hard drive. This way we are sure to not lose any photos.
This works great for that purpose. However, I would like to create an iPhoto library that will only upload photos taken with my iPhone.
I know I can create multiple iPhoto libraries, but I would like to have the ability to manage preferences for each so that they manage photos in different ways.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may offer.
Keith

I know I can create multiple iPhoto libraries, but I would like to have the ability to manage preferences for each so that they manage photos in different ways.
Keith, the problem is, that only one iPhoto ibrary can be associated with the photo stream on any device, see e.g. http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=14%26se ction=2%26tasks=true
Photo Stream is designed to work with one Aperture or iPhoto library at a time. However, it’s easy to switch the library Photo Stream uses to upload and download photos.
If you enable the photo stream in a different library, the photo stream will be removed from the earlier library. You would continually have to reanable the photo straem when switching between libraries, and each time the stream would be reset. This way, auto matic import will not work reliably, because the photo stream would only be seeing the current ly stored photos in iCloud.
Have you considered to use the Shared Photo Streams for specific purposes? I am using the Shared Photo Streams as thematic iCloud albums, for wildlife photos, family photos, etc.

There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

Advice on best way to setup Disaster Recovery for SOA Suite 10.1.3.4

Hi Everyone,
I need some advice on the best way to setup Disaster Recovery for a SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 install deploying JSF/ADF OC4J applications.
The way we are trying to do it at the moment is manually copy the "applications" and "applications-deployments" folders for the OC4J application on the production server, then compress and ship the files across to the DR application server nightly. (We don't require high availability).
In the event of a disaster we then extract the files and copy to the OC4J instance (pre-created and configured) on the DR server. Unfortunately to date we haven't been able to reliably setup a DR application (seem to mostly get 404 errors etc), even though the OC4J application has its connection pool resolved to the DR database and is showing as "up" in the ASConsole.
My question is, is there a more "native" way to do what we are trying to do. We do not have Enterprise version of SOA Suite or 11g database so any advanced recovery features are not an option. The setup is also stand alone, i.e. we are not using clustering or RAC etc.
Any ideas would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Leigh.
PS we are also running the production apps server with Oracle Application server 10g 10.1.2.3.0 as the HTTP apache server (with Forms, Reports and Discoverer deployed) and the SOA Suite 10.1.3 applications use the 10.1.2 HTTP server via the HTTP to AJP bridge. So the 10.1.3 OC4J instance is configured to use AJP on port range 12501 - 12600.

What are the Different Ways of receiving Acknowlegements ?

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know what are the Different Ways of receiving Acknowlegements from target system as a response to the Message sent from source system.
As when we send Idoc to target system acknowledgement is sent through XI to Source system, what are the configuration steps required for it. Can we use Webservice or link which can be provided to target/customer system and acknowledgement is confirmed using this medium. Please suggest any possible option.
Where I can find the related information or standard document about the same.
Please guide.

Different way to aggregate Essbase: Cannot aggregate to parent level

Hi,
I used to use the following statement in BR to aggregate dimensions:
FIX("Segment Allocation Base")
FIX(@IDESCENDANTS("YearTotal"))
@IDESCENDANTS("Total Company"); /*Total Company is member of spare dimension: Market Segments */
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
The tree structure is like this:
Market Segments (Never Share)
|__ No Market Segments (Never Share)
|__ Total Company (Never Share)
|__Total Market Segments (Dynamic Calc)
|__SC (Store) -> Level 0
|__SE (Store) -> Level 0
1. However, I found that the parent level cannot be aggregated. After I enter a value for Total Company (I think I am creating a block for Total Company), the above BR works.
2. If I change the BR to the following statement, it works. I don't need to create the block first.
FIX("Segment Allocation Base")
FIX(@IDESCENDANTS("YearTotal"))
AGG("Market Segments");
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
Any gurus knows the difference about the above 2 different ways to aggregate? What's wrong with the first one?
Thank you in advance.
Casper

Unless you wrote the first statement wrong. The reason the first one doesn't calculate is because it does absolutely nothing
@idescendant is a declaration not a calculation
Definition of @idescendant is: Returns the specified member and either (1) all descendants of the specified member or (2) all descendants down to a specified generation or level. You can use this member set function as a parameter of another function, where that parameter is a list of members.
AGG is a calculation.
So unless I'm reading it wrong you declare the children of Total Company and then do absolutely nothing. Therefore it has nothing to do with dense/sparse or blocks existing or not.
