Contribute Publishing Server and SSO

Hello,
Does anyone know how to integrate Single Sign on (SSO) for
contribute publishing server? Basically instead of contribute
asking for authentication it sends out a request. In my
circumstance I need it to authenticate via Smart card instaed of
username /password
Thanks!

I guess I didn't see anything from Macromedia that tells me
that CPS works with the new version. I'm not looking for new
features. I just want to make sure there aren't any
incompatibilities, outstanding bugs.

Contribute Publishing Server and Contribute CS3?

Is Contribute CS3 compatible with Contribute Publishing
Server? If not, does anyone know if an update to CPS is coming
soon? It's still at version 1.11. Yikes!

Do I need Contribute AND Contribute Publishing Server?

Do I need to have Contribute Publishing Server installed on
the web server on order to update web pages with Contribute?

Hi,
I downloaded the trial of contribute cs3 and was able to
update web pages without cps. I'm still trying to figure out
exactly what cps does though?

We have just upgraded to Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I can
not find any documentation if Contribute Publishing Server will
install and work in that environment. Does anyone know?????
Thanks,

Can not install contribute publishing server on linux

Hi, All:
I try to install the contribute publishing server on Red Hat
Linux and Sun Solaris.
It works very well on Sun Solaris.
But I have problem in installing on Red Hat 64 bit Fedora
core 6 machine, and got the error message:
"gzip: /tmp/install.dir.20676/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in
gzip format"
I even manually try to use "uncompress", "zcat" to uncompress
/tmp/install.dir.20676/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z
but it did not work.
Any idea or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks.

it requires a minimum of Windows 7 SP 1 before installing SQL server 2008.
It can be downloaded from below:

Contribute Publishing Services and Windows Server 2008

Has anybody been able to install Contribute Publishing Services 1.11 on a 32-bit Windows Server 2008? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to get it "installed" by copying a previous installation from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. Got a blog post about it here:
http://onceuponans.blogspot.com/2009/04/installing-contribute-publishing.html
I think our next rev of the website probably won't use Contribute any more. Too bad, really - I rather liked it.

Contribute 6.5 + Contribute Publishing Server

Does CPS get installed when you install Contribute 6.5 on a server? I can't find the CPS 1.11 installer ANYWHERE!

We purchased CPS several years ago, and have a valid license (and license code). We need to move the CPS server to a new piece of hardware, which is why we need the installation media.
Adobe's web site has the CPS updater ( version 1.0 -> 1.1 ).
We've looked for the installation media in the Adobe Licensing Portal - nothing there.
Doing web searches pulled up a few online discussions, one of which implies that the CPS installation files/media might be bundled with the Contribute 6.5 installation media. Our testing and your feedback confirms that is not the case.

Contribute Publishing server log in error

CPS server is returning the following error in a dialog while entering the password on the admin console.
"No default implementation found" . The application used to work for last 10 months without any issues. Looks like some files corrupted.
Is any one received this message before?
Thanks for your help

I got the solution. This is what I did.
These errors are caused by a classloading conflict involving different versions of the Xalan XSLT processor classes shipped with ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 and Websphere 5.1.1.SolutionTo resolve these errors, stop your Websphere server, remove xalan.jar from the /cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib directory and restart your Websphere server. This will cause ColdFusion to use the Xalan classes included in the /WebSphere/java/jre/lib/xml.jar directory.

Error when enabling publishing server

The Contribute Publishing Server console on my web server
provides the following URL for enabling publishing services:
Click Enable Publishing Server, and enter:
https://svr-ehrenwerks:8900/contribute/
In Contribute, when I adminster the website and attempt to
"enable publishing server" using the provided URL, an error message
shows up telling me the publishing server at
https://svr-ehrenwerks:8900/contribute/ does not respond.
This URL does not exist on my win2003 server. My guess is I
need to set up an actual domain to replace the svr-ehrenwerks part
of the url and include a virtual directory called "contribute"
under this domain in order to make all this happen. Please help me
"enable my publishing server." Thanks!

How did you install CPS? Which OS are you running?
1. Simple Installation
2. War Based installation (deploying war file on your app
server)
Nope you dont need to create virtual directory---
Once you install CPS 1.x? (Simple installation), at the end
of
successful installation, go to your browser and type
https://localhost:8900/contribute/ and see that you are
viewing the
certificate and it allows you to login.
you dont need to create any virtual directory..

Cannot save changes when enabling Publishing Server

I have Contribute 4 with Contribute Publishing Server 1.11.
I'm able to setup normal Contribute sites fine and was able to
setup one Publishing Server site. Now though, whenever I try to
enable Publishing Server on a site, it enables alright but when I
close the Site Administration window I get an error that says
"Contribute cannot save your changes to the website's shared
settings on the server".
I've tried checking permissions; everything seems 'liberal'
enough like Contribute likes it. I've reinstalled Publishing Server
(including deleting any _mm folders). I've attempted deleting and
re-adding sites more times than I can count. Nothing has seemed to
make a difference. Has anyone experienced this problem or have any
ideas what might be going on? Thanks very much!
Nathan Williams

Hello Nathan, I'm using Contribute 3.11 (without Publishing
Server) and I'm experiencing the same issue: "while trying to setup
the admin password".
It seems to me that this is a bug from Macromedia... and
hopefully they will respond to us.

Staging Server and Live Server

Hello - Looking for examples from others on how they handle having a staging server and a seperate live server for their websites when using Contribute. We are making the transition from Frontpage to Contribute, and Frontpage always had a "Publish Website" feature that allowed you to update your staging server files to the live server automatically in Frontpage. I'm not seeing anything similiar in Contribute, but then again, I am very new to Contribute so maybe I am missing something. I guess I am looking for any tips and real world examples on how others are doing this. We are going to have roughly 35 websites, so creating an FTP process that runs each night for each website is really not ideal in my opinion.
Thanks!

This is not possible with having Contribute alone. But the same is possible with the combination of Contribue and Contribute Publishing Server (CPS). Please refer to, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/contribute/cs/deploy/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117a7496df1-7ff9 .html
Hope this helps you.

Transfering reports to other publisher server

Hi all,
First of all, all the best wishes.
Is it possible to copy the reports that you made on a 'devolop' publisher server to a 'test'publisher server, and so on?
Or what are the best pracitices to work with this problem?
I can't find anything about this in the manual or in blogs.
We are working with an OTAP street (this must be DTAP street in english or something)
(Develop, Test, Acceptation, Production) so we want to copy reports from one server to another.

Hi,
you can copy and paste the folders of one repository to the other and synchronize via the UI as Administrator. A pitfall could be the datasource names in the xdo-file. If you only have changed the templates (rtf) you don't need to synchronize, they are used automatically with the next call ... that's the way I use, but perhaps there's something more sophisticated.
Regards
Rainer

BARS data (when replacing publisher server)

Hi there,
I gonna replace the publisher server and then connect the new publisher with the existing subscriber.
My question is:
When I run BARS and choose the data source server, should I choos both publisher and subscriber server?
Or just publisher server?
I read the BARS document as follows,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00807a78ce.html
And "Replacing Servers During the Upgrade" as follows, http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/4_1/install/upgrade/upg413/replace.htm
Those documents don't include the detailed information.
Thanks.

Hi Qinghao, Thanks man!
Good stuff, you are halfway there! The db replication problem and DC directory health problem are most likely related;
Interpreting the Results
The validation results display in the Upgrade Assistant Summary window. At the top of the window, a report summarizes the results for all modules and displays which modules failed, which modules produced warnings, and which modules passed. A link to the folder that contains all log files, including the Upgrade Assistant Summary report, displays also.
To identify a problem with the failed validation module, review the following information that displays in the Summary window:
The first link points to the log file that specifies the error or warning.
Click the first link and search for the error or warning; for example, ERR: or WARN: .
The second link points to the corrective action file that describes the log file error message and recommends the corrective action.
Click the second link to open the corrective action file. Search the corrective action file for the error message that is noted in the log file. Review the description and corrective action.
Caution After you correct all problems that the utility identifies, Cisco strongly recommends that you run the utility again on every server in the cluster before you begin the upgrade.
Obtaining the Log File
You can obtain the results from the utility in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\Logs\UPGRADEASST (for example, UPGRADEASST-05-15-2003_13.47.58)
To access the log file, click the Summary file.
Tip A link to the log file displays in the Summary window for every failed validation module. To access the log file, click the link in the Summary window.
The Summary.html file, which is the Upgrade Assistant Summary report, provides the exact same information that displays in the Upgrade Assistant Summary window.
Each time that you run the utility, the utility creates a new log folder and new set of log files. The utility does not remove the log files, even if you uninstall the utility. You erase the log files when you reimage the server or manually delete the files.
From this good doc;
Using Cisco CallManager Upgrade Assistant Utility 4.1(3) for Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(5) and Later Releases
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_installation_guide09186a00803f5c59.html#wp262763
**This db replication between Pub and Sub(s) is broken**
The publisher database server upgrade requires that all call-processing processes that the server handles fail over to the configured subscriber servers. Database replication must exist prior to the upgrade, so failover occurs.
This utility verifies the database replication status for all subscriber servers in the cluster. This utility validates that the database contains the latest information about the system. Validation results include Running, Idle, Failed, or Succeeded.
Have a look at this doc for the method to fix the db replication issue;
Using DBLHelper to Reestablish a Broken Cisco CallManager Cluster SQL Subscription

Sample JAVA Mobile Server Publish code, and technical questions

Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
     1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
     2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
if you are in a position to do so.
The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
     1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
     2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
     3. Webtogo.ora
     4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
     5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
Thanks,
Thomas G. Matney

Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
     1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
     2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
if you are in a position to do so.
The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
     1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
     2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
     3. Webtogo.ora
     4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
     5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
Thanks,
Thomas G. Matney
