Can iDSIE (Meta-directory) be used as a single authentication point from iPlanet Web Server for multiple databases using direct "or" indirect connectors?

Basically, the latest release of iPlanet Web Server forces the user/group information source to be an LDAP database. Currently, the user accounts are in Active Directory, NT, Oracle and NetWare Directory Service in this heterogeneous environment.
What I am looking for is a meta-directory product which can do two things:
1-Single authentiation point for users in mulitple databases from iPlanet Web Server.
2-Single administration point for all of the databases listed above.
For example, can I add/modify/delete a user account at the meta-directory level and have this propagate to all of the databases listed above reducing the administration to one meta-directory product?

With an Virtual Directory solution, you can authenticate Iplanet Web Server against nearly anything including any LDAPv3 Directory Server, Microsoft Active Directory, Windows NT Domains, Oracle RDBMS, IBM DB2 RDBMS, Microsoft SQL, and others.
All of this is done dynamically and doesn't require any heavyweight synchronization process. The Virtual Directory acts as a dynamic schema / DIT / data translation engine for different types of repositories.
OctetString's Virtual Directory Engine is one such example. You can download a 30 day evaluation copy at:
http://www.octetstring.com
It will take you all of 30 minutes to get iPlanet Web Server authenticated against and using groups from things like Oracle RDBMS, Windows NT Domains, or Active Directory.

Hi All,
Can any one help me on this.
I'm using

Trying to deploy this war file in SUN iPlanet Web Server 6.1 SP7. Can I use JDK1.6 & JSF1.2 in web server6.1

What is the exact version of Web Server you are using? Should be in the error logs or try $start -version
It would be faster if you can capture and cut and paste the data that is sent between firefox and Web Server in both the cases using /usr/sfw/bin/ssltap (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/ssltap.html) or ethereal when you try to view that shtml file. We can see if its any different in both cases and try it from there.
Also verify the steps given in http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1832-10/pgshtml.html
mime.types should have :
type=magnus-internal/parsed-html exts=shtml
obj.conf should have :
Service fn="shtml_send" type="magnus-internal/parsed-html" method="(GET|HEAD)"
When you activate parsing, magnus.conf should have :
Init funcs="shtml_init,shtml_send" shlib="install_dir/bin/https/bin/Shtml.dll" NativeThreads="no" fn="load-modules"
Shtml.dll (or libShtml.so on UNIX), is located in install_dir/bin/https/bin for Windows, and install_dir/bin/https/lib for UNIX.

Dynamic charting in J2ME using SVG - based on SQL query from a web server

Hi
I am creating a J2ME application which needs to generate dynamic charts for the user.
The data for generating the charts is stored on a web server. In order to have minimal computations on the mobile device, I want to generate the charts on the web server itself.
I have written a code which generates svg (svg tiny) charts dynamically on a web server based on sql queries on a database . Now I want a J2ME client app to be able to retrieve this data through a web service.
Can someone guide me as to how to return svg files from a java web service.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sparsh

Hi
Actually, I am developing my application using Netbeans 6. In order to connect to my web service , I am using the J2ME client to web service as the type of my project and that uses the above mentioned API's.
My question is how do I enable my web service to return a SVG file , and then how do I retrieve it in the J2ME client. Any example application that anyone knows online would be really helpful

Can anyone tell me how to speed up the image downloads in iPlanet Web Server 6.0?

I am running iPlanet Enteprise Web Server v6.0 SP1 and I have a page that has quite a few images and they load extreemly slow. If I load the same page and images on version 4.1 SP7 it runs really fast. Help?

Just a suggestion: Try using iWS6.0SP2, it has some performance improvements.

Using iPlanet Web Server 6.0 (with ASP or JSP), is it possible to create a StarOffice, Word or Acrobat document using a template and merging it with data from a database (say Oracle)?

Hi,
It is possible, But it has to be done through codes and iPlanet Web Server has nothing to do with it. But if you want to create the word document by ASP you have to install ASP plugin like ChilliASP (from Chilisoft) with iPlanet Web Server.Merging with database can be done through your code.
To know more abt creating word doc through ASP try this link

I have perl scripts that I want to be able to run with my iplanet web server 6.0. How can I make it work in Windows NT? (Because I have no problem when I use it with Linux).

Hi Melanie,
In order to run a PERL script under Windows NT the iPlanet Web Server needs to know where to find the PERL interpreter.
follow these steps :
1) Make sure Windows NT knows what a .pl file is. In file Manager click on file and choose associate from the menu. Check the "files with extension" drop-down list for pl - if it exists verify that it is pathed to your perl.exe. If it is not already on the list click the "New Type" button. In the Filetype box put pl. Choose open from the Action drop-down list. In the Command box specify the full path to your perl.exe interpreter (Make sure to use short filenames, rather than long filenames.) Click the OK button. Then click the Close button in the main Associate dialog box. Double click a .pl file to test - it should automatically launch the PERL interpreter and feed it your .pl file.
2) Create a directory to contain your .pl scripts.
~server_root\shell-cgi is a good choice.
or \cgi-bin\
NOTE: Make very sure that this directory is NOT part of the document root, it should have it's own directory (preferably at the same level of the docroot).
3) In the Admin Server select Programs.
4) Choose CGI directory (normally) or WinCGI directory or ShellCGI Directory depending on ur choice from the Programs menu.
5) Put the URL Prefix you would like to map to your Shell-CGI directory into the URL Prefix field.
6) Put the full path to your Shell-CGI directory in the Shell CGI directory field.
7) Click OK.
8) The save and apply changes page will display your changes and give you the opportunity to verify them. If they are correct click the Save and Apply button. If not Click the Undo button and go back to step 4.
(9)You can then call your .pl scripts directly by referencing the directory mapping that you have just created. For example:
http://my.server.whatever/shell-cgi/ myscript.pl
this should work now.
If not Pls Mail me.

Using a Single HTTP Server for Multiple APEX Instances

Our company's DBA Manager has asked if it would be possible to externalize the HTTP server portion of APEX from the DB Servers. In other words, he would strongly prefer that the DB Servers *only* run Oracle Database software.
We know that we can install the HTTP server on another box but, in thinking about how to do this, we were wondering if it is really necessary to create a separate HTTP server installation for each APEX instance. What we'd really like to do is have one HTTP server for all our our Dev boxes and several (but, not one to one) for each of our upper environments; staging, qa, prod, etc.
Right now, each instance have a single dads.conf file on each DB box. So, if we we're to attempt to consolidate them, we'd need some way to embed multiple dads files and to associate each instance with the correct one.
Has anyone ever done this or (preferably) have some examples?
Thanks,
-Joe

Joe,
I don´t know a specific reference for it, I remembered it because when I was looking the documentation on the site, I saw the reference "Support for multiple database connections" in the URL: APEX Listener New Features 2.0</title><meta name="Title" content="APEX Listener New Features 2.0…
I´ve tried to use APEX listener some time ago, but in a earlier version together with glassfish. So, since for me was only one database, I created the necessary amount of DAD´s on my database, each one for a specific port.
Check the link and you´ll see the same information I saw.
Thanks.

Collaboration using web server for many pdfs

I manage an online repository of pdfs for multiple clients. Clients can log in and search all their pdfs by keyword to find what they are looking for and view it in their web browser.
They want me to take this service to the next level by allowing them to comment, highlight, add textbox etc. and save the file back to the web server doing all of this via the web browser. They also want to locate their comments that they posted (obviously) at a later date.
A big issue is that these clients have 100s of pdfs that are huge files, some containing 300+ pages. I researched all collaboration choices for acrobat and I think a SOAP repository would work best for my situation.
Before I start a major project, I was wondering if any of you have experience with collaboration on a remote web server (godaddy) for a job of this size.
Does anyone think that a SOAP repository is the best choice? I am looking for guidance mainly as I have no experience developing in acrobat.
Can I write a program that will allow my goals to be met and work with all pdfs that are ftped to my web server? I have thousands of pdfs that I manage at the current time.
Thanks for your help!

What you're talking about is called Browser Based Review and was supported up to Acrobat 8. In Acrobat 9 this was replaced with the newer and more feature-packed Shared Review functionality.

ICS 2.x: Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar Server

Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar
Server

The following discussion expands upon the instructions for using the
Solstice/Legato client software to back up Calendar Server in the iPlanet
Calendar Server: Administration Guide. You can find this documentation at
the following URL: 

http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/calendar/ics21/ag/calagadm.htm#1064539

If the Solstice/Legato Networker is installed under the default directory (as
per the recommended installation procedures), there should be three files
dedicated to Solstice/Legato Networker. 

<OL>
<LI>icsasm
<LI>legbackup.sh
<LI>legrestore.sh
</OL>

To initiate the Networker backup directory image, use the command 

csbackup -l

This command creates a directory named "
backup/" in the bin
directory and corresponds to Step 1
under the procedure for Backing Up Calendar Server Data in the
iPlanet Calendar Server Documentation.

After you have initiated the directory image, you can use the following commands
to back up or restore 1) a Calendar database, 2) a specific user's default
calendar, or 3) a specific calendar. The following commands assume that the Networker
client software is installed under the /usr/bin/nsr
directory and the iCS 2.x server is
installed under the /opt
directory.

1) Calendar Database
? To back up a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
? To restore a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
 

2) User's Default Calendar
? To back up a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid
? To restore a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid 

3) Specific Calendar
? To backup a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid
? To restore a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid

You can also use the Networker graphical user interface to schedule backups.
For example, you could set up a client saveset to back up
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
periodically.

For more information regarding Solstice/Legato Networker software, please
see the Sun documentation at 

http://www.sun.com/storage/software/backup.html 

Also see technote 4311, "iCS 2.x: What is the difference between
csbackup/csrestore and the Solstice/Legato Networker functionality?," at

Use 1 listener for multiple database in a server

hi guys,
just want to check whether this is the right way to configure my Listener.ORA . I am using 1 listener.ora to listen for incoming request connection from remote client. There are multiple databases installed in a server.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ora03)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = O11R2)
(ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = O11R2)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = O10G)
(ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = O10G)
)sorry i am reading about it so did not install another database to test out. Just thinking in the line that it mention that the list of SID is refering to the multiple database that is installed in a server and i am using 1 listener.
Please further advice.

)Please use as above. You can have one listener for multiple databases.right right so it the pattern goes like this:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
     (SID_LIST =
          (SID_DESC =
          (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AAAA)
          (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
          (SID_NAME = AAAA)
          (SID_DESC =
          (GLOBAL_DBNAME = BBBB)
          (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
          (SID_NAME = BBBB)
     )thanks !

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

Global data in a servlet using iPlanet Web Server

Our configuration is an Applet->Servlet->JNI->C/C++ code.
We have C code that does a number of lengthy mathematical calculations. This C code not only uses its own global variables but, it is also comprised of numerous subroutines that all call each other, reading and writing global C variables as they go. These globals are all isolated to the C code shareable object (.so) library that is included using the LoadLibrary call when the servlet is initialized.
The problem is that in a multi-user environment (3-5 simultaneous users) we need to have each user have their own "copy" of the servlet (and the C code) so that users will not be accessing each other's global data. We can NOT have only one copy of the C code and define it as synchronized because the calculations that are performed can take a very long time and we can not hold off user requests while the firs user finishes.
Our hope is that there is a way to configure the iPlanet Web server such that each new user that starts up a copy of the Applet/Servlet combination will get their own "space" so that they can work independently of any other user. We have at most 20 users of this system and only 3-5 simultaneous users so we should not have a problem with memory or CPU speed.
If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it!

The C library is shareable. But you don't want it to be shared. That's your question summarized, isn't it?
You probably can't prevent it from being shared, so to prevent multiple use of it you would have to queue up the requests to be done one at a time. WynEaston's suggestion of having the servlet implement SingleThreadModel would help, but I believe the servlet spec allows servers to run multiple copies of a servlet that does that (as opposed to running a single copy in multiple threads).
Your other alternative is to rewrite the math in Java, or at least in some object-oriented language where you don't need global variables (which are the source of your problem). All right, I can already hear you saying "But that wouldn't be as fast!" Maybe not, but that isn't everything. Now you have a problem in queueing theory: do you want a single server that's fast, but jobs have to wait for it, or do you want multiple servers that aren't as fast, but jobs don't have to wait? That's a question you would have to evaluate based on the usage of your site, and it isn't an easy one.
