Best practice on storing configurations

So a question for you all:
It's my understanding that to make a set of LDOM configurations persist across a power cycle, they must be committed to the system controller (presumably it sticks them in some flash/eeprom memory somewhere).
As best as I can tell you do this something like:
ldm remove-config production
ldm add-config productionThat seems a little awkward (why not "ldm save-config production"?). It also seems like something that ought to happen automatically when changes are made.
Do folks agree that this is the "right" way to do this or am I missing something? What are you doing in your environment to make sure this happens on a regular basis?
Thanks for any insights!

Not quite following what you mean by "associated .as files ",
but yes, that sounds fine.

Best Practice for storing PDF docs

My client has a number of PDF documents for handouts that go
with his consulting business. He wants logged in users to be able
to download the PDF docs for handouts at training. The question is,
what is the 'Best Practice' for storing/accessing these PDF files?
I'm using CF/MySQL to put everything else together and my
thought was to store the PDF files in the db. Except! there seems
to be a great deal of talk about BLOBs and storing files this way
being inefficient.
How do I make it so my client can use the admin tool to
upload the information about the files and the files themselves,
not store them in the db but still be able to find them when the
user want's to download them?

Storing documents outside the web root and using
<cfcontent> to push their contents to the users is the most
secure method.
Putting the documents in a subdirectory of the web root and
securing that directory with an Application.cfm will only protect
.cfm and .cfc files (as that's the only time that CF is involved in
the request). That is, unless you configure CF to handle every
request.
The virtual directory is no safer than putting the documents
in a subdirectory. The links to your documents are still going to
look like:
http://www.mysite.com/virtualdirectory/myfile.pdf
Users won't need to log in to access these documents.
<cfcontent> or configuring CF to handle every request
is the only way to ensure users have to log in before accessing
non-CF files. Unless you want to use web-server
authentication.

Request for any Best Practice document for configuring Service Parameters on CUCM 9.1.1

Hi Team,
Could you please send if you have any Best Practice document for configuring Service Parameters on CUCM 9.1.1. That would really help.
Thanks,
Guru

Hi
There's no 'best practice' as such, but there are a few that I think should be default:
Enabling CDR, On-Hook Pickup, CFwdAll Override... but really the settings are specific to the requirements of the deployment.

Best practice for server configuration for iTunes U

Hello all, I'm completely new to iTunes U, never heard of this until now and we have zero documentation on how to set it up. I was given the task to look at best practice for setting up the server for iTunes U, and I need your help.
*My first question*: Can anyone explains to me how iTunes U works in general? My brief understanding is that you design/setup a welcome page for your school with sub categories like programs/courses, and within that you have things like lecture audio/video files and students can download/view them on iTunes. So where are these files hosted? Is it on your own server or is it on Apple's server? Where & how do you manage the content?
*2nd question:* We have two Xserve(s) sitting in our server room ready to roll, my question is what is the best method to configure them so it meets our need of "high availability in active/active mode, load balancing, and server scaling". Originally I was thinking about using a 3rd party load balancing device to meet these needs, but I was told there is no budget for it so this is not going to happen. I know there is IP Failover but one server has to sit in standby mode which is a waste. So the most likely scenario is to setup DNS round robin and put both xserves in active/active. My question now is (this maybe related to question 1), say that all the content data like audio/video files are stored by us, (We are going to link a portion of our SAN space to Xserve for storage), if we are going with DNS round robin and put the 2 servers in Active/Active mode, can both servers access a common shared network space? or is this not possible and each server must have its own storage space? And therefore I must use something like RSYNC to make sure contents on both servers are identical? Should I use XSAN or is RSYNC good enough?
Since I have no experience with iTunes U whatsoever, I hope you understand my questions, any advice and suggestion are most welcome, thanks!

wht is the Best Practice for having server pool i.e
1) having a single large serverpool consisting of "n" number of guest vm
2) having a multiple small serverpool consisting of less of number of guest vm I prefer option 1, as this gives me the greatest amount of resources available. I don't have to worry about resources in smaller pools. It also means there are more resources across the pool for HA purposes. Not sure if this is Official Best Practice, but it is a simpler configuration.
Keep in mind that a server pool should probably have up to 20 servers in it: OCFS2 starts to strain after that.

Best Practice for storing a logon to website in a desktop java app

Hoping someone well versed in java related security best practices can point me in the right direction.
I have a small java PC application that uses the Soap API to send various data to a 3rd party.
Currently I am storing the logon credentials for this 3rd party in a local database used by the application.
The username / password to connect to this database is encrypted and never accessed in clear text in the code.
(Although, since the application is stand alone, everything needed to decrypt the database credentials is packaged
with the application. It would not be easy to get the clear text credentials, but possible)
The caveat in my case is that the user of the application is not even aware (nor should be) that the application is interacting with
the 3rd party API at all. All the end user knows is that an entity (that they already have a relationship with) has asked them to
install this application in order to provide the entity with certain data from the user.
Is there a more secure way to do this will maintaining the requirement that the user not need know the logon credentials to the 3rd party?

Moderator advice: Don't double post the same question. I've removed the other thread you started in the Other Security APIs, Tools, and Issues forum.

Best practice MPLS design/configuration for small service provider

We are a small regional service provider and did not have MPLS supported on our network. To start supporting MPLS, I’d like to get opinions and recommendations on the best practice configuration.
Here is what we have today –
We have our own BGP AS and multiple /24s.
We are running OSPF on the Cores and BGP on the Edge routers peering with ISPs.
We peer with multiple tier-1 ISPs for internet traffic. We do not provide public transit.
What we want for phase one MPLS implementation –
Configure basic MPLS /vpn functionality.
No QoS optimization required for phase 1.
We have Cisco ME 3600X for PE. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Not sure what kind of devices or routers you have in your network but looks for if you have support for labeled multicast for MVPN support. That will avoid other complexity of using other control protocols (like PIM) in core.
PE redundancy can be obtained by BGP attributes, CE-PE connectivity can be tunned using IGP or VRRP/HSRP...
You can have mutiple RSVP TEs for various contract traffic and you can bind various kind of traffic to different RSVP Tunnels based on contract or service with your customer.
RSVP-TE with link/node protection design will be of great help to achieve quicker failover.

Best practices for storing logon/password info

I'm curious what are the best practices and/or what other organizations are using to store the logon/password information that needs to be shared by several users. This could be, for example, RFC logon that is used in several interfaces; FTP logon, etc. Such information may need to be accessible to all the developers yet should be stored safely.
In my previous assignments this was usually managed by a Basis admin, but we don't have a designated admin here so it needs to be handled by developers. A suggestion has been made to store it in a Z table in SAP, but we're trying to explore other options.
Thank you.

The SecureStore is a protected area only accessible via the SAP kernel functions. It is SAP standard (used by transactions such as SM59, etc) and is accessed by the system at runtime.
But if you only want these connections to be temporarily available (so, without stored logon data) then there is a guru solution you might want to consider for those access in ABAP systems.
For general password management of generic users or large numbers of them you can alternately also consider a [password-vault|http://www.google.com/#hl=de&source=hp&biw=1276&bih=599&q=password+vault&rlz=1R2ADSA_deCH392&aq=f&aqi=g3&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=ec103d87630c3cc0] . These can however typically not be accessed at runtime.
Shall I move this to the security forum, ABAP general, NW Admin or is someone still going to get themselves Guestified here?
Cheers,
Julius

Best practice Forms 10g configuration setup and tuning

Hi,
We are currently depolying forms 10g from 6i client/server version. Users are experiencing Form hangups and hour glasses. This does not happen that often but can happen any time, anywhere in the app (users do inserts, updates and deletes and queries).
Is there a baseline best practice configuration setup anywhere either in the Forms side or the AppServer side of things?
Here is our setup:
Forms 10g (9.0.4)
Reports 10g (9.0.4)
Oracle AppServer 10g (9.0.4)
OS = RedHat Linux
Client Workstations run on Windows 2000 and XP w/ Internet Explorer 6 or higher
Average No. of users = 250
Thanks for all your help

Shutdown applications within the guest.
Either power off from Oracle VM Manager or 'xm shutdown xxx' from the command line
It is possible one or more files could be open when the shutdown is initiated.
Have found at least one case of misconfigured IP which would have resulted in the disk access being via the 'Front End' interface rather than the Back End.
Thanks

Best practices in wireless configuration?

Hi,
Is there a best practice document that shows 3500 AP with 5508 controllers? The questions I have are below.
1. Do I configure each AP to non overlapping neighbor channels(1,6,11 for 2.4GHz) or leave that to controller to decide? Does controller change the channel of an AP when it sees congestion on a specific frequency?
2. For 5 GHz is it good idea to bond the channels? What frequency to use for neighboring APs? OR again, leave it to controller to shift as needed?
3. For security what's best practices? 802.1x or different?
Thanks,
Sm

1. Do I configure each AP to non overlapping neighbor channels(1,6,11 for 2.4GHz) or leave that to controller to decide?
Let the controller(s) decide. By default the Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) verifies the channel for interferrence every 600 seconds. Because you have 3500 then make sure you enable Event Driven RRM (Radio Resource Management) on both channels.
Does controller change the channel of an AP when it sees congestion on a specific frequency?
The controllers will not change the channel when it sees congestion. The controller will change the channel if it sees interference on the same channel. The CleanAir will change the channel when it sees interference from non-AP interference like Bluetooth, Microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc.
2. For 5 GHz is it good idea to bond the channels?
Sure.
What frequency to use for neighboring APs? OR again, leave it to controller to shift as needed?
Leave this option in default.
3. For security what's best practices? 802.1x or different?Sure.

Best practice for storing/loading medium to large amounts of data

I just have a quick question regarding the best medium to store a certain amount of data. Currently in my application I have a Dictionary<char,int> that I've created, that I subsequently populate with hard-coded static values.
There are about 30 items in this Dictionary, so this isn't presented as much of a problem, even though it does make the code slightly more difficult to read, although I will be adding more data structures in the future with a similar number of items.
I'm not sure whether it's best practice to hard-code these values in, so my question is, is there a better way to store this information, retrieve and load it at run-time?

You could use one of the following methods:
Use the application.config file. Upside is that it is easy to maintain. Downside is a user could edit it manually as its just an xml file.
You could use a settings file. You can specify where the setting file is persisted including under the user's profile or the application. You could serialize/deserialize your settings to a section in the settings. See
this MSDN help section
on details abut the settings.
Create a .txt, .json, or .xml file (depending on the format you will be deserializing your data) in your project and have it be copied to the output path with each build. The upside is that you could push out new versions in the future of the file without
having to re-compile your application. Downside is that it could be altered if the user has O/S permissions to that directory.
If you really do not want anyone to access it and are thinking of pushing out a new application version every time something changes you could create a .txt, .json, .xml file (depending on the format you will be deserializing your data) just like the previous
step but this time mark it as an embedded resource in your project (you can do this in the properties of the file in visual studio). It will essentially get compiled in your application. Content retrieval is outlined in
this how to from Microsoft and then you just deserialize the retrieved content the same as the previous step.
As far as formats of your data. I recommend you use either XML or JSON or a text file if its just a flat list of items (ie. list of strings). Personally I find JSON much easier to read compared to XML and change and there are plenty of supported serializers
out there. XML is great too if you need to be strict as to what the schema is.
