CF8: Cluster session-based ColdFusion Components

Using CF8:
Is it possible to store ColdFusion components in the session
scope when using clustering and session failover?
Is it possible to replicate their state across a ColdFusion MX
cluster?
I remember that with cf6 and cf7 it wasn't possible (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/j2ee/articles/endtoend.html).
I think that the CFC serialization is the answer: but I'm not sure.
thanks in advance

yes! Finally it's possible!

Access to a logged-in user's information via a session based object

I am in the process of putting together a design for the security layer of a given
application I am working on. The requirements for authentication demand that
the framework take advantage of digital certificates and username/password verification.
The digital certificate end is relatively straightforward in terms of configuration
within WebLogic 6.1. I am planning on implementing a RDBMS security realm for
the username/password verification piece and again, from the documentation I have
seen, it seems relatively straightforward in setting that up as well.
The question I do have is in regards to once the user has successfuly logged in
to the application. Is there anyway to manage and have access to a set of user
info or credentials once they successfuly log in - aka some sort of session based
object that WebLogic Server facilitates? Or is this something that will have
to be explicitly built from our end if requirements do arise that necessitate
user information to be readily available as such?
Any feedback would be helpful....thanks!!

How to invalidate a session based on the session id

How to invalidate a session based on the session id

You have to write your own support for this.
It used to be in the API, but was deprecated as a security hole.
The best way to do it is implement a session listener (javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener) which notifies you when sessions are created/destroyed.
You can then keep a map of sessions in your own code, indexed by session Id, and access any/all of them to invalidate as you choose.

Trace session based on CLIENT_IDENTIFIER

Hello all,
i am on 11.2.0.1....we have a sap application and trying to trace a session from DB end....and seems like the job that the end user runs jumps from one session to another....in this senerio...how would i trace a session ??? i read article about dbms_monitor package to trace it...but as i mention, sap keep chaning the session from one to another.....
i read the below article...
http://ocsurabaya.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/tracing-sql-in-oracle-database-10g/
in which it suggest to set the service name and module name....but the problem is its hard to get the module name as its doing quite a few things....it jumps from one module to another....is there anyway to trace a session based on its CLIENT_IDENTIFIER (from v$session)....as this looks like the domian user account for that user who is running the job....
as i mentioned during that time(when job is ran)...the sid changes, modeule changes...the only thing consistent is the CLIENT_IDENTIFIER ( which seems to be the domian user name )...
so how can i trace a session based on CLIENT_IDENTIFIER ??

CSS 11503 Stickyness session based

Need assistance comming up with a soulution for session based Stickyness.
1.can this be based on the J-Session ID?
2.Can the CSS send a cookie and the clients stick to the same servers until the session expires and the cookie os removed?
3. Also can we set a timeout value for the cookie?

If servers are setting the cookies then you need something like this
Service webserver1
ip address 10.10.10.1
string server1 <-- server cookie value
active
Service webserver2
ip address 10.10.10.2
string server2 <-- server cookie value
active
Service webserver3
ip address 10.10.10.3
string server3 <-- server cookie value
active
content mycontent
vip address 12.12.12.12
add service webserver1
add service webserver2
add service webserver3
string prefix "JSESSIONID="
protocol tcp
port 80
url "/*"
advanced-balance cookies
sticky-inact-timeout 60 <-- Inactivity timeout value for cookie
active
The string prefix (that goes on the Content Rule) would need to match be the name of the
cookie string prefix "JSessionID="
Then the string on the services would need to match the value that is inserted on each
server:
Example:
Service webserver1
ip address 10.10.10.1
string server1
active
Then the cookies injected from server1 would need to look like this:
JSessionID=service1
That is how the CSS would then identify which server the cookie belongs to and how to send
it to it. If the JDSessionID values are random, then the CSS would not be able to match the values to a service.

Sharing ColdFusion Components (CFC)

I have several ColdFusion Components in a Flex Library Project which I would like to share with several Flex / FB projects. is there a practical way of being able to to this?
Right now I includ the CFCs directory in the 'Flex Build Path/Additional source folders outside the main source folder' of each project, this is OK except that Flex puts the CFC's in the root directory of the debug folder which becomes a mess. Does anyone know of a better way of doing it, so that I can share my CFC components in a well organized way and maybe put them in a folder like 'cfc_components'.
Any ideas, suggestions, or tips would be greatly apreciated!!!

Thanks for the input and insight, it's very much apreciated!!!
You're quite right that you don't really share CFC's, I misused the word. I was hoping that I could've kept the CFC's in a library project and Flex (Ecclipse) would've been able to create links as it seems to do if you include their directory in the source path, but keep them in the same folder they're in and put them under the src folder instead of the root directory which is what it seems to do. I was hoping I had missed something and be able to do what I wanted to do.
The reason I was hoping to keep the CFC's in a library project is that eventually I want to shared them with others.
What I've been doing is put the CFCs in a main project application and the other applications, which are sub-modules, compile to the main applicaton's debug folder. clunky... messy... perhaps but it's been doing the work. Like I said I would like to find a way to shcare my CFC's without also sharing my main app's files.
Again thanks for the input.

WS2012R2 - Session Based Printing Issues

So several months ago (four?) my organization moved and we upgraded all of our servers to 2012. We are a medical organization that uses terminal services aka RDS to rdp into a session based server to access our main clinical app. From this session,
the users need to print out various documents from that application. For printing, we have a print server that has all of the printers installed on it. Both users that use the remote session and users who do not access the printers through the
print server. The printers are deployed to each user via several GPOs so that they only get the printers that need access to. We do this mainly so people do not get confused with which printer to print to and so they do not send print jobs to our
other locations (connected through a WAN.) The main trouble we are having is with users on terminal server sessions. When I right click on a printer in the control panel of someone who is in a session, there are multiple copies of the same printer that
show up. It appears that our PDF application will not show these printers when this occurs.
I guess my main question is: in my organization's setup, what is the best way to set up the printers on the session server?
I was also wondering about the "Easy Print" driver? Is that something I need to enable/disable?
Lat me know of any clarifications I may need to make.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Here providing you basic understanding to use Easy print driver.
RD Easy Print is a proxy for every print action that simply redirects all printing-related work to the user's local machine without the need to install any print drivers on the TS server. This system provides several benefits, such as being able to redirect
any printer from the user's client machine without having to reconfigure the server while still allowing the user to configure the print job as though he were printing on his client machine.
For your environment, you can use Easy print driver option also by which you don’t have to install printer driver on server.
For more information, you can refer beneath articles for detail.

You shouldn't use Coldfusion Components because...

Are there any good answers to this question? My boss refuses
to let me use Coldfusion Components because, according to our
sys-admin:
"using the components allows you to extend internal
ColdFusion functions. This has been identified as a security
issue."
And because of this, he believes that he would have to either
not allow them or:
"Define a security Sandbox for each developer. The Sandbox
defines which components can be used and which cannot."
I have tried to read up on this issue over the past few days
but am just not finding the information that I need to address his
problems.
Any suggestions?

>>My boss refuses to let me use
Coldfusion Components because, according to our sys-admin:

ColdFusion functions.

Your boss has no clue , your sys admin even less.
There is NOTHING you can do in CFC that you can't do in a
cfml page. CFC's
are more a logical division for the developer and offer no
more or less
security risk. By your boss/sys-admins logic, you shouldn't
even be using
CFML pages. If you can do damage to security with a CFC, then
you can also
do it with a standard page.
Ask your boss what particular function or action can be
performed in a CFC
that can't be performed in standard page. There are none. A
cfml page and
CFC are really the same thing (even compile down to the same
thing)
The only thing I can think of is that are being misled by the
word
'component' and are thinking more along the lines of MS
components that were
used with traditional ASP. Some of these components caused
security
concerns. But CFC's are not the same kind of component - this
is just an
unfortunate naming coincidence. They should just of called
them CF Objects
or CF Classes. Then your boss/sys-admin would never have
blinked an eye or
been concerned about using them.
Educate them.

Killing a Session based on Session ID

Is it possible to kill a Session based on Session ID ?
The Scenarioo is when Same user logs in two different browser, the second user should not be allowed to login. But at the same tiome, the first user's session has to be killed . How to do this ?

How to prevent duplicate posts?
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=632857&tstart=0

How can I use the same session for different components acroos application ?

I am trying to include the components(chat, filesharing, whitboard) in different parts of my application. User should be able to access any of the component. We would like to have a single "ConnectSessionContainer" so that we don't see same user creating a seperate session for each component.
Is there a better way of dealing with this other than declaring the "ConnectSessionContainer" in the main application ? Is there a way to check if we have a "ConnectSessionContainer" session already established ? Please help . Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Let me explain what I am trying to do..
I am trying to create components at different places(screens) of the flex application (not in the same .mxml file).
Each time I create a component, I am using a "AdobeHSAuthenticator" and "ConnectSessionContainer" which is resulting a new participant in the room.
For example
screen1.mxml -
<mx:Panel>
<rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
        <rtc:Roster id="myRoster" width="100%" height="100%" />
        <rtc:Chat id="mychat" width="100%" height="100%" />
</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
</mx:Panel>
screen2.mxml (in the same application) -
<mx:Panel>
<rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
        <rtc:SharedWhiteBoard id="wb" width="100%" height="100%" />
</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
</mx:Panel>
Here, I open a screen1 and authenticate as UserA and when I try to open screen2 flex is considering me as another user though I am in the same application.
1) How can I use different components which are in different flex files as a same User ?
2) Should I place my <rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator> and <rtc:ConnectSessionContainer> in the main application which calls the screen.mxml?
3) What is the best way to do it ?
Thanks for your time !

Weblogic 7.0 sp1 cluster - session replication problem

Hi,
          I have installed Weblogic 7.0 sp2 on Win NT. To test clustering
          feature, I have installed one admin server and added two managed
          servers. All are running on same box. I could deploy web application
          to the cluster. Connection pools and every other resource is working
          well with the cluster. However I couldn't get session replication to
          work. I have modified web app descriptor, and set 'persistent store
          type' to "replicated".
          I accessed application from one managed server, in the middle of
          session I modified the port number in the URL to point to other
          managed server. It looks like second managed server has no idea of
          that session, my app fails because of this.
          Could you please help me out in this, Do I need to do any thing in
          addition to the above. I couldn't find much in the BEA manual..
          Thanks
          Rao


          For Web application like servlets/JSP, it is better to put one web server as proxy
          plugin before your two managed servers and access your application through web
          proxy. (You need set session as in-memory replicated either in weblogic.xml or
          by console editor). Otherwise, you need record the session cookie from the first
          serevr and send the cookie to the second server (not sure if it works). To access
          EJB/JMS, use cluster URL like t3://server1:port1,server2:port2.

Session based load balance + Prepared statements

Experts,
From the docs I understand that there are 3 load balancing techniques. One is client side and two are server side. Of the two, one is session count based load balancing, and as per docs, it is recommended for connection pool setting.
My question is if I have prepared statements originally created using connection to node1, and say if listener re-directs the conneciton to another node node2, will the prepared statement work on node2 ?.
Thanks
Vissu

Just to clarify, the question is:
Are the prepared statements usable when we use session count based load balancing.

Cluster session replica on solaris

          Hi,
               I had made a cluster on two solarises, I want the servlet session can be replicated,
          But if I set weblogic.httpd.session.persistentStoreType=replicated , sometimes the browser will
          display message "inconsistent cookie, primary key != me " when I access a session servlet,
          and the call is failed. In other ways, session replica is O.K. If I disable this property, nothing
          occured, but session can't be replicated. who can explain it ? thanks for your help.
          Best regards,
          Zhanlu


          You might check:
          1. two clustering machines must have the same cluster name configured
          (weblogic.cluster.name) and port #
          2. using MulticastTest utility to check the communication is ok
          between clustering nodes
          3. there should have add server name/ip to cluster view something
          right before WL startup on each clustered nodes
          4. ping multicast adddress to see 2 nodes ip returned
          Hope this works. Brian
