ACE ; probe for host header-value

Hi,
we have following probe setup. sometimes this probe fails because server resets the connection but server team claims there aren't any issues with server.
probe https probe1.abc.com:10456
port 10456
interval 34
passdetect interval 17
ssl version all
expect status 200 200
header Host header-value "probe1.abc.com"
open 1
is there a way to validate able probe using linux/linux servers? i.e. using unix/linux server is there a way to send that host header-value to the servers and see if servers are responding with 200 OK status? if not from Unix/Linux servers than if there any otherway to validate it apart from validating it from ACE?
Thanks...

or can we do it using window? maybe using firefox on windows machine?
please advise.

Setup ACE probe for HTTP host headers for multiple sites on rservers

We have multiple sites on each server. Is there a way to have the probe only stop traffic to a specific site or header and not take the complete rserver offline?
Thanks
Greg

If you are running multiple web servers on same servers using same IP addresse on the server. Then Host header field differentiate these web instances on the same physical machine.
Use header command under http probe definition to send appropriate HOST value with probe rquest
e.g
probe http site1
interval 2
faildetect 1000
passdetect interval 2
passdetect count 1
header Host header-value "www.site1.com"
expect status 200 200
probe http site2
interval 2
faildetect 1000
passdetect interval 2
passdetect count 1
header Host header-value "www.site2.com"
expect status 200 200

Host header-value matching where a port is used.

Hi all,
Would anyone be able to advise on the match value where the host header includes a port, e.g. www.mysite.com:9080. My question here goes to the collon preceding the port. Can this be done? If so, how?
If not, what is other option to match on, wildcard? The scenarion is same site being accessed, so www.mysite.com remains unchanged, but on varoius ports, around 20 differnt ports. Issue is port is part of host header.
Any guidance or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Paul.

Hi all,
Would something like this below work? Trying to catch all the various ports that may be utilised (9080 -9099).
class-map type http loadbalance match-all L7-APP1
match http Host header-value www[.]mysite[.]com[:]90*
Thanks
Paul

Using wildcard in Host header-value

I have a redirect in my configuration that if a host header matches a certain value, then it will redirect to https.
Originally I had the full host header, www.domain.com (actually www[.]domain[.]com).
However, I found out that if a user just enters "domain.com", without the www, it is not being detected and redirected.
I want to add a wildcard for the host portion. I tried .*[.]domain[.]com. But it seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes it seems to work, but other times it doesn't.
Is this the correct format for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks.
Jason

Jason-
Can you send all of the relvant configuration? technically what you have should work, but there are some other things you might need (persistance rebalance, non-case sensitivity, etc.) Also, you could just add another line to a match-any class for the 2nd header instead of including every possible combination.

ACE Probes for authentication to imaps, smpts or pop3s servers

Dear all,
we have the demand to do health checks using authentication for servers running SSL-encrypted services like imaps, smpts or pop3s. Has someone implemented tcl scripts for that ? Unfortunately the "SSL_PROBE_SCRIPT" provided by Cisco does only do a "Client Hello". Maybe it is possible to enhance that script in order to test authentication ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Bernd

Dear Gilles,
thank you very much for your reply. This answers my question.
But ... I would like to turn this into a feature request, because I believe this demand is not that much out of common. There already is a https probe which works in a similar way, so it should be easy for Cisco to add probes for common ssl-encrypting protocols or - even better - add a generic ssl probe.
Best regards,
Bernd

ACE probe for LDAP

Is there a way to configure a probe to check the health of LDAP and how? I can't find any reference in the docs for how to do this.

You can use scripted ldap probe (LDAP_PROBE) available with ACE.It sends an
anonymous bind request and check for bind success.

ACE probe for rserver

Hi I've following requirement to do health check for server.
I need to add below three ports in probe with OR condition so if any of these 3 port is up along with 10292 connection should go that server:
10721
10722
10723
how to do this? can we setup up such health check with using script?

Hi,
You will need a custom script. The supplied CHECKPORT_STD_SCRIPT should provide a reasonable starting point. You just need to implement the logic behind setting the return code.

Hi ,
This error means, that the ace is not receiving a 200 ok response from the server, this happens when server is not responding it or it is receiving that do not have a host header having value hcmfincrp1.test.com , which you have definied, or the page has got modified. Please check if your http server is working fine.

Host Header Flash Forms Problems

Hello,
I'm running CFMX 7.01 on IIS 6, Windows 2003 Server....
I've created an intranet application that uses several flash
forms. The site is located in the folder of
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CorpComWeb. This can be referenced from the
Default website by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ OR
http://CorpComm (after adding an
internal DNS host header and then referencing it in Website -
Advanced - Host header value). This works great for every page
EXCEPT the two pages that contain CF Flash Forms. When I try to
access these pages using
http://CorpComm/flashformpage.cfm it spins into infinity (no
error just never loads). If I access the page by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ the
page loads fine.
Any ideas as to why this would be?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, stupid mistake on my part.
When creating the new site in IIS, I forgot to add a virtual
directory pointing to CFIDE...

Host Header Site Collection and Web App Setup - Thoughts

I am trying to understand relation between AAM and web app extension .Please share your expert opinion. I have not seen any TechNet article talking about it clearly.
Here it goes: in 2010 it was recommended Not to use AAM with IIS bindings without extending the web application. This was mentioned in several TechNet articles also its a known “Mistake #4” on TechNet articles.
So question is, is that still the same case in 2013?
Most of the times it is recommended to remove web app host header from IIS if you are using this web app for HHSC, otherwise sites will not be accessible. I have find no issues by leaving web app host header and adding more bindings for host header site
collections any thoughts on this ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I found some articles for helping understand Extend web application and
Alternate access mappings.
“If you want to expose the same content in a Web application to different types of users by using additional URLs or authentication methods, you can extend an existing Web application into a new zone. When you extend the Web application into a new zone,
you create a separate Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site to serve the same content, but with a unique URL and authentication type. An extended Web application can use up to five network zones (Default, Intranet, Internet, Custom, and Extranet). For
example, if you want to extend a Web application so that customers can access content from the Internet, you select the Internet zone and choose to allow anonymous access and grant anonymous users read-only permissions. Customers can then access the same Web
application as internal users, but through different URLs and authentication settings..”
After you extend web application, there is a new site created in IIS but the content are the same. We extend it to a new zone for different authentication methods, so that we could support different security between Internet site, Intranet site and Extranet
site.
“Alternate access mappings direct users to the correct URLs during their interaction with SharePoint 2013. Alternate access mappings enable SharePoint 2013 to map web requests to the correct web applications and sites, and they enable SharePoint 2013 to
serve the correct content back to the user.”
AAM is to offer different urls to users to access one site. Sometimes the url of a site is not easy to remember , we could use AAM to create simple url.

Moving host header site collections to a different URL

Background:
We have a SharePoint 2010 farm with a single web app. Within this web app, we have over 40 site collections. Unfortunately when they were created, they were all put under their own explicit managed path. So now we have over 40 managed paths
and the recommended number of managed paths is 20. We are planning to create wildcard managed paths and move site collections from
https://servername/sitename to
https://servername/U/sitename to reduce the number of managed paths.
The implications of this are clear for site collections that are not host header site collections. Site collection admins will have to adjust any URLs that refer to items in the site collection. It is less clear for host header site collections.
From the user's point of view, the host header URL itself will not change.
1. Will internal links in the host header site collections need to be adjusted like in regular site collections?
2. Will the e-mail address of e-mail enabled lists and libraries change?
I would be grateful if anybody has an answer to this.
Sheila

If you moved http://sitename.webapplication.domain.com (ie. a host named site collection) to http://webapplication.domain.com/managedPath/sitename then it would obviously have a different URL.
That is not what you were describing in your first post, the terminiology is a little specific and I think you're getting it a bit wrong. A web application (often) has a host header, that will not change moving a site from an explicit path to a wilcard path.
A host named site collection is very different and more complicated
If you are planing on converting
http://webapplication.domain.com/site1
http://webapplication.domain.com/site2
http://webapplication.domain.com/site3
to
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/site1
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/site2
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/site3
Then you are not using Host Named (or host header) Site Collections, those are bog standard managed path site collection addresses.
Now to answer your question: for users to access the sites after the move they must use the /sites/siteX version, if they use an old link then it will not work.
There is a trick in SharePoint that will keep links that exist within the site collection consistent so that some URLs will be maintained. This is called a relative URL and means that URLs that are within the same Site Collection will automatically work
with the new URLs.

HCP: host header for xs application

Hi,
Can anyone point me to the configuration we need to setup in order to use ours ISP registered CNAME pointed to HCP dns?
e.g. we have HCP dns name like "<account name>.hana.ondemand.com" we want it to be resolved to our url like "mycompany.com"
for that we have "mycompany.com" cname registered and pointed it to "<account name>.hana.ondemand.com"
But it looks like HCP does not accept an all catch host header (*) and we are not sure where this can be configured , so that we only get "Service Unavailable" error. Pinging "mycompany.com" shows that its correctly resolved to "<account name>.hana.ondemand.com", but then HCP rejects that
Thanks!
Artem

use this powershell to create it, if the problem still exists let me know
$ap = New-SPAuthenticationProvider
New-SPWebApplication -Name "Contoso Internet Site" -Port 80 -HostHeader sharepoint.contoso.com -URL "http://www.contoso.com" -ApplicationPool "ContosoAppPool" -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount "DOMAIN\jdoe") -AuthenticationProvider $ap -SecureSocketsLayer
also check that you adjusted the proxy settings in web.configs

Target finish value and Actual confirmed value for the header material

Hi guys,
For a given production order, I need to get the below mentioned two values for the header material of the production order:
1. Planned or Target finish value
2. Actual confirmed value
will this value be calculated like:
Target finish quantity x standard price of the material (maintained in MBEW-STPRS) = Target Finish Value
Actual confirmed quantity x standard price of the material (maintained in MBEW-STPRS) = Actual confirmed Value
OR
I can get these required value directly in DB table.
Please guide here.
Thanks & regards,
Ravish

ACE probe dilemma

Hi, I have a requirement to use the ACE to provide Active/Standby service for 2 services located on 2 physical servers. Server A is active for one port and backup for antoher, Server B vice versa.
As well as this, I am doing port translation - incoming requests to one port are being translated to one of two ports - see config below
rserver host TEST-FE01
ip address 10.100.100.1
inservice
rserver host TEST-FE02
ip address 10.100.100.2
inservice
serverfarm host test-farm
predictor leastconns
rserver TEST-FE01 20902
backup-rserver TEST-FE02 20902
inservice
rserver TEST-FE01 20903
inservice standby
rserver TEST-FE02 20902
inservice standby
rserver TEST-FE02 20903
backup-rserver TEST-FE01 20903
inservice
My problem is that I want to configure probes for each ip/port combination, but I can't seem to achieve this as my server farm contains servers that listen on more than one port and a probe can only be configured with one TCP port and can only be applied to either the rserver or the whole serverfarm.
Can anynone see how I can achieve this
Many Thanks in advance

You will need to define probe under serverfarms's Rserver config
probe tcp port-20902
port 20902
probe tcp port-20903
port 20903
rserver host TEST-FE01
ip address 10.100.100.1
inservice
rserver host TEST-FE02
ip address 10.100.100.2
inservice
serverfarm host test-farm
predictor leastconns
rserver TEST-FE01 20902
probe port-20902
inservice
rserver TEST-FE01 20903
probe port-20903
inservice
