CE560/WCCP/Websense dies - lot of RST's seen

We have a CE560 which we use for caching and websense integration for almost 2 years w/ no problems. Recently, Internet browsing complaints from customers have ramped up. Have an open case w/ TAC & thought might be hitting 100% every 30 min bug but some info we sent development now shows the cache engine is getting a huge # of RST's which looks like it may be causing the issue.
We're wondering if our Checkpoint NG FP3 firewall may be sending the RST's & if anyone has had a similar issue w/ a similar config. Need advise on a place to start looking on the checkpoint (or really any other firewall) w/ regard to the possible RST's issue. Don't expect much help from the FW guys unfortunately.
Our config is 6000 wan & lan users funnel to 2 6513's doing wccp v2 to single CE560 which sits behind a Checkpoint/Nokia FW cluster. ACNS 5.1x w/ websens onbox. Same problem when websense was on Win2k server.
I understand the CE560 to be rated to about 25mb throughput & we're currently running our Internet DS-3 at a max of about 12mb so I would hope load isn't the main culprit here. We turn wccp back on, browsing fast & blocking works. Within minutes it stalls.
TIA for any insight. Our users are having WAY too much fun while CE/Websense is down <G>

I've seen that the PIX sometimes denies the last packet in a TCP connection and sends a TCP RST. This happens intermittently, but may be related to amount of data transferred during the connection (it seems to occur when there is little data transferred). However am not sure if it holds good for the Check point firewall too.

Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection

Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection
It is expected that the disconnection sequence for a secure connection to be as follow:
client ************************* server
--- alert (warning, close notify) --->
<--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
in any order;
and then:-
--------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
<----------- FIN, ACK ---------------
------------------ ACK ----------------->
Instead of the sequence described above, the TCP connection for a secure connection is closed with an RST.
For instance, Wireshark capture shows that an SSL+SASL TCP connection is closed in the following manner:

I agree it should be an ACK not an RST but it doesn't really matter. The connection is closed, and as neither the client nor the server has any pending data it is benign. Worth investigating in a later JRE.

CISCO CSS 11503: Adaptive Session Redundancy + Resets

Hi
we have release 7.10.206a configured with SourceGroup and ASR. I made a sniffer trace and experienced that the CSS sends a lot of RST. As well I saw that it use only 1984 source ports for the connections to the server. How can I increase the number of source Ports? .In the attachments you will find the sniffer trace with the incorrect behaviour and the configuration.
Any suggestion, idea ?

the problem of the RST seems to be the frequent reuse of the same source port.
The destination of this connection seems to be confused and ACK the new SYN with the ack number of the previous connection. This ack number is out of range from the syn sequence number so the result if a RST.
ie:
Flow1 - Syn -> packet 1
Flow1 - Last ACK -> packet 33
Flow 2 - syn -> packet 34
Flow 2 - ack (instead of syn/ack) with acknumber same is packet 33.
This triggers a RESET -> packet 36
Flow 3 - syn -> packet 55
Flow 3 - same as flow 2 issue, ack with old ack number. This triggers a RST (packet 57).
Now the 2nd issue, the CSS (I believe tpkg0x.post.ch is the CSS) sends packet for flow 2 but the end station believes flow 2 was killed with the RESET of flow 3 and the host sends a RST to the CSS (packet 59) because its connection does not exist anymore.
So the all issue is the fact that ports are being reused to quickly.
You will need to involve more people to find a workaround to the 1984 ports available [and be aware they are available but not all usable].

"Cannot send message using the server....."

Hi all,
Considering the nature of the problem I am about to relate I would have to say at the outset that I would be very very surprised if other people have not come across this problem, so here goes...
We have around 60 users of Apple Mail from both 10.4 and 10.5, so varying degrees of versions of Apple Mail however most if not all are updated to 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
We have been plagued with people being frustrated about emails bouncing back with an immediate error which is basically the following...
"Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxx.com:user
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below etc etc"
I am sure a lot of you have seen this error.
However, it is totally random but I am at the end of my tether with it. It generally revolves around emails with attachments and can be totally random. I was trying to send a screenshot today, very small screenshot, using the Apple-Shift-4 technique, sent the .png file, then saved it out as a .jpg, nothing. Tiny file, around 5k. Got the error above, took it out, sent no problem. Other similar files on the desktop refused to send but a .pdf did. I then thought it might be our server, so sent teh same attachments using my .mac account. Same result and failed to send. Reports from other users in our group show that they too get random results, maybe moving the attachment in the email makes it go, sometimes putting it before your signature, sometimes putting your signature copied and pasted in so many times makes it work, all sorts of methods but all resulting in the same conclusion, Apple Mail can be very unreliable.
We have even migrated some users to Entourage and the problem disappears. Even to Thunderbird, but those users miss the search capability as it is quicker and more reliable. So they want to go back.
Considering I have been struggling with this issue back in the day when we were on the Apple Mail related version in 10.4 I was hoping that the version released in 10.5 would remedy the problems. Sometimes I feel it has just got worse.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of difficulty in Apple Mail, I really feel isolated and at a loss with how to remedy this for so many users.
If anyone can share their experiences and how they have got around similar issues in Mail I am all ears and open to any suggestions.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this. There is more but the experiences are so random it is not worth trying to put it all down.
Thanks again.
Gerry McCoy

I went in to Connection Doctor and. oddly enough, for this Mac account it said I was on Port 25. Si I changed it to Port 587 and saved the changes.
Still, I have the same problem with the same error messages.
I go back to the mail preferences > Accounts > Advanced and it shows Port 143 still there grayed out.
What about SSL - it's not checked.
Odd that this problem only seems to be from one .mac account emailing to another .mac account. Could the server be down?

How to call jsp after reading from ServletInputStream?

          if the client submit a form including FILE type, I usually use ServletInputStream
          to read it and return next page by calling JSP file. but In weblogic6.0Sp1, the
          server will report a exception: One of the getParameter family of methods called
          after reading from the ServletInputStream(), can't mix these two!
          can anyone help me? thanx a lot.


I've seen these messages in the WLS 5.1.0 logs when POSTing to servlets.
          All the reading is done in the servlet and then a JSP handles the view
          rendering. However, I don't actually call getParameter() or it's kin
          anywhere. I thought maybe something inside the JSP generated servlet is
          calling getParameter(), but I've looked at the generated code and can't find
          any calls. If I had a stack trace it would be easier to sort out.
          Is this a warning or an error? Is there a bad side effect. I imagine the
          getParameter() call would fail.

[SOLVED] After resume from suspend to RAM, system is slow / unstable

Hello,
I have come across some strangeness when trying to suspend my system. The
computer is a lenovo U350. I have read a lot of threads on these subjects,
but I never found one that quite matched the experiences I'm having, so I felt
compelled to make a new post.
Here's what's going on: I boot into the terminal, and then run pm-suspend.
Within a few seconds, the computer goes to sleep, just as I had hoped. The
problem is that my computer seems a little groggy when I wake it back up.
Usually, when running a command like ps aux | less, the screen fills up very
quickly. After I resume from sleep, running ps aux | less is noticeably slow.
It takes a full second (+/- epsilon) to fill the screen. Other symptoms: if I
suspend / resume in the terminal, and then start a window manager (KDE), the
graphics will be slow and choppy, and when I try to exit the window manager, I
usually end up having to perform the dreaded REISUB after getting stuck on a
blank screen with a non-blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner.
Suspend / resume from KDE will result in either the black, non-responsive
screen as soon as I try to resume, or in the choppy graphics, followed by the
non-responsive black screen when I log out.
I looked at the process list before and after, and noticed that when the
system is first resumed, there are around 50-60 additional kworker processes
running than when I put it to sleep. I don't know if this is normal or not.
Also, hci0 has been killed, and a new hci0 process has taken its place. The
same goes for one of the udevd processes. About 40-50 of the kworker
processes finish after a few minutes, but this does not change the slowness of
ps aux | less, nor does it help with my window manager issues.
I ran a few (not so precise) performance tests before and after doing a
suspend, and got the same results (the test was just to compile some LaTeX,
which took about 4-5 seconds either way).
I examined the pm-suspend.log, and everything looked peachy. All of the
hooks returned success for the suspend, as well as the resume. I'm happy to
post this if needed. I did not change any of the default settings for
pm-suspend.
Anyhow, I've read a lot of threads, and seen a lot of suggestions, e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137682
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136292 (use vbetool?)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=126174 (suspend tons of modules?)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131827 (hpet=disable ?)
However, I'm not that confident in any of them, since no one had quite the
same issue. I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction
before I start blindly walking through all the candidate fixes and risk
unleashing chaos into my system. Many thanks in advance for your help.

I did try reinstalling, actually. But I did not think to remove the battery and the ram... I'm very curious now: what is the rationale / intuition for that? Or is it just that empirical evidence suggests this may be a good idea?
Anyhow, the reinstall by itself did not help. I tried it out with a pretty bare-bones setup and had the same results. Here are a few other things I noticed:
- After the suspend, one of the cores is always running at the maximum clock frequency, according to powertop (although, according to ps aux, no one is doing any work).
- Even if I ssh to a nearby machine, I get the same experience when running `ls`. The screen fills very slowly. That narrows things down a little bit, but I was already guessing it would be graphics-related.
I have also tried a few random kernel boot parameters after reading things online, but none of those worked, and several stopped the machine from booting at all.
Thanks for your help.

Trouble starting ipod (very low battery message) and loop

Hello. I am having troble to start my ipod classic 5 generation. The message "please wait very low battery" (with an ipod with sad face) appears but the weird thing is that i just used it yesterday and i left it fully charged...but well. Then i try to charge the battery with a wall charger but it starts on a loop passing from the black screen with the apple logo, then it goes to the message "go to itunes/ipod/support" web site. and then it says again "please wait very low battery" just for a second and then it goes back to the black screen with apple logo and does this again and again. Then i tried to connect my ipod to the computer, after i do this it shows the message "please wait very low battery" and stays like this forever. I have tried ALL the suggestions, from trying to restart the ipod by clicking the middle button and the menu button at the same time (several times) and then clicking the middle button and the play button so it gows to the disk ode and nothing. I tryed witting it on the right corner and nothing. I already tested 3 usb different cables and nothing. It is not my usb port (i made tests with an ipod touch i have and works fine). Daaaaaaaaaarn!!! I really dont know waht to do now.
Any advises please!!!!?
Thanks a lot!
Rick

Stock in quality inspection

Hi Gurus,
I am getting an issue in Quality inspection stock.The issue is like this .
In the last month one inspection lot generated and without stock posting only UD done.
The lot quantity was 33.670 , but when I am checking the quality inspection stock in plant stock of the material for
last period in material master I am getting only 12.360. Difference is coming 21.310. So I am worry about this quantity.
Please advice .I have attached the screen also
Regards
Aravind

Hi,
This may not be the exact inspection lot which you have seen for quantity 33.670. System behaviour as follows:-
If any inspection lot which is not cleared in previous month say Lot qty is 50 PC in June 2014 and you cleared the inspection lot on current month, then this 50 PC will be there in previous month (June 2014) quality inspection stock. This is just for information purpose.
The same way, 12.360 TO is someother inspection lot qty which was created on last month and cleared on this month for the same material and this quantity has been added to current month unrestricted use stock also.
Check in system that is there any Inspection lot which was cleared on this month with qty 12.360 TO.

Arvind S

Email or store submitted PDF form using PHP

I'm using LiveCycle Designer 8.0. I've searched a lot but haven't seen any answers or solutions to submitting the filled out pdf form online and the pdf sending to an email without it having to use an email client on the users computer.
I'd prefer to use php and either save to the server or directly send the pdf as an attachment using the php mail() function. Any language would be fine, I'm just experienced with php.
If anyone would have a solution to this, I am fully capable of editing scripting to send the correct fields for my particular form. I've just not been able to find a way to store and attach in pdf format. Since the LiveCycle has the built-in function to open your default mail client, attach the pdf, and then send - isn't there some way that function could be edited to use the servers php mail feature instead?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The reason this has become so important is that the new systems at some doctor's offices are requiring pdf's sent in advance that save in a program that allows the use of digital pen signing (like when you sign for a fedex package) of the documents once the patient arrives. And unfortunately, still many of the patients are not going to be avid pc users and will not have an email client program like outlook set up.
Thanks much,
Heather

Thank you for your answer. I completely understand how to do all the things you mention, have been able to do them - where I can't seem to understand is posting to the web server. Maybe it's just simple and I'm overthinking it. When I set a url to post to, I've been trying to use a php script, but can't get the call right to save or grab the pdf.
Could you help me with that part? Are you meaning it that way - to post it to a script or am I over-doing it and there's a simpler way?
I appreciate your help very much.
Heather

Acrobat-Reader printing creates mystery file.

I am having an issue with Reader and Acrobat on our Enterprise desktop image. Using the same installation source (transformed msi using Adobe tuner) on the Citrix server environments do not have the same issue. (only Reader on Citrix)
Image=
Windows XP SP3
Internet Explorer 6
Reader and Acrobat 9.x (testing with multiple versions of 9.x show it is not version specific)
Here is what you do to recreate the issue.
open any pdf in Reader or Acrobat.
print the file.
The directory the pdf you printed now has a new file. The name of the file differs based on the printer you print to.
Example of file names using 2 seperate printers=

Network attached Ricoh printer via Windows 2008 print server. "IP_10.46.152.250" 0 bytes

I have seen this issue often in the large company I work. I don’t have a 100% fix. It seems to be related to users who created and using local IP port printers and not print servers. Because users have no rights to the system32\spool folder to write the temp file, it dumps this junk file on their desktop. Try correctly installing the printers using printservers and not creating local IP ports. An ugly work-around is to make the users system files hidden or create that file extension type (they usually use just one or two printers so the file type is the last 3 characters of the printer. What happens if their desktop gets filled up with the OS max junk limit, I don’t know because it hasn’t happened yet.

Adding objects to the stage & acceessing stage properties - I'm a bit confused..

Hi,
I'm a little confused on two fronts regarding display
programming:
A. What the best way to add objects to the stage?
B. How to access stage properties.
I can do both of these when the project is an 'Action Script
Project', but I'm having trouble when it is a 'Flex Project' (e.g.
an MXML file). See the two attached files with questions included
in the comment to see exactly what I mean.
A. What the best way to add objects to the stage?
=====================================
In an action script project that extends Sprite I can just
call addChild()
In an MXML project I can add objects to the stage by first
adding them to a UIComponent, then adding that to the stage.
1. Is that the best way to do it?
In this doc:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05_Display_Programming_02.html
it says that
quote:
Each SWF file has an associated ActionScript class, known as
the main class of the SWF file. When Flash Player opens a SWF file
in an HTML page, Flash Player calls the constructor function for
that class and the instance that is created (which is always a type
of display object) is added as a child of the Stage object. The
main class of a SWF file always extends the Sprite class
2. why cant I just add a sprite object direct to the stage
without the UIComponent?
3. What is the 'main class', and how can i get access to it?
B. How to access stage properties.
=========================
In an action script project that extends Sprite I can just
call trace(stage.framerate)
But in an MXML file I cannot figure out how to access the
stage properties.
See the attached code for the things that I tried, but which
didnt work.
In the page:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140655
It says
quote:
For stage access you have a couple of rules:
* natively, only display objects have inherent access to
stage
* display objects only have a valid reference to stage if
they're within the stage's display list (on the screen, after added
to it with addChild)
* The only display objects which immediately have access to
the stage before the use of addChild (in their constructor) are the
document/application class instance (root) and any instance from
the library placed on the timeline (not created with AS).
* Non-display object classes have to be passed or assigned a
reference to the stage from another object which already has access
to it - they cannot access it otherwise.
4. How do I access the stage properties in the MXML project?
5. I suspect this is related to the "main class", which I
dont yet understand - is it?
Sorry for the long post.
cheers

Process flow completed successfully but flagged as BUSY in OWB ?

Hi, I have several process flow jobs that are scheduled to run each night.
All steps of the process flows completes successfully (checked in Workflow Manager and Warehouse Builder Browser), but the overall status is always set to BUSY in OWB Browser.
I have seen earlier related threads in this forum regarding the termination of jobs left in a BUSY state (through problems with the process flow etc), but why are my jobs being flagged as busy ?
Seems like the completed successful status is not getting through to OWB Browser.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Paul

Samsung Note 3 Camera and Flash Issues

I have a Samsung Note 3 that is only a few months old and the Camera continues to not function correctly.
Android 4.4.2
* Flash will randomly turn off and I will need to restart my device to get it working again.
* Pictures taken with camera are slow and very often out of focus.
The camera flash issue is something most people might not notice until they absolutely need the flash.
The camera taking a long time to focus/take pictures I'm sure a lot of people have seen on a more regular basis.

Problem in mission control : placement of the desktops isn't memorized

Hi everyone!
It's my first topic here, so please, be kind if I'm not respecting the rules...
Here is my problem :
Today, I'm doing some HTML coding in textwrangler, and testing the pages with safari on a second desktop. I'm opening the pages in safari with a finder window opened in a third desktop. I'm on my macbook pro and i'm switching desktops with the 4 fingers technique. I have placed the desktops in that order :
1) Textwrangler
2) Safari
3) Finder
When i'm using the 4 fingers and go into the finder to look after a page, trying it into safari, the order is changed :
1)Textwrangler
2) Finder
3) Safari
Is anyone encountering something like that with mission control? Do you know how to fix it? I hope you'll be interested in my problem.
Thank you!
Nelson

Thanks a lot, I hadn't seen the options in preferencies... Let me go buying glasses!

PPR on custom component

I have a custom component for calendar. When invoking PPR on the component it refreshes the entire contents of the page and the custom component doesn't work properly after that.
If I manually do full a page refresh then the component works properly.
There is a thread with a similar problem was resolved Re: PPR on custom component?
In above thread the solution was to add below in the custom component class.
@Override
protected FacesBean.Type getBeanType()
return TYPE;
I do have this code in my custom component class but may be I am missing something else. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to make this work? I'd appreciate your help a lot.

Yes, I've seen that page on Trinidad. It was helpful, but it seems it was mostly about using PPR, not about building it into a custom component. The one part that did talk about custom components was this, near the end:
"Finally, if you're implementing a custom component, you aren't extending the Trinidad UIXComponentBase base class or one of its subclasses, and you want to support partialTriggers, you'll need to use addPartialTriggerListeners(). If you deliver events, and you want to support being the target of partialTriggers, you'll need to use partialUpdateNotify(). "
Then it gives code snippets for each of those. In my case, I am extending UIXComponentBase, and I am including this code, and I know addPartialTriggerListeners gets called, but my component still doesn't get the updated data. If I right-click the page and select Refresh, it redraws correctly, and other components that have partial-triggers on the same component I do, do get the update properly. So I must be missing something.
Also, where can I get the open source of the components from? I haven't found anywhere to download them from. Can you point me at them?
