CoreID Access Server not reading Authentication Plugin

Hello all! I've written an authentication plugin (.dll) for use with the CoreID Access Server in C++ .NET using the CoreID Managed Code (.NET) API. Everything compiles fine and I believe I've complied to the interface CoreID expects. However, when the access server starts it chokes on the plugin and this is the error message generated by the server:
UTC - Access Server File Logger
ERROR0x000003B6 base\obsharedobj.cpp:44 "Could not read file"
shlibname^C:\Program Files\csm\access/oblix/lib/csmAuthnSSOPlugin.dll
ACCESS_SERVER ERROR0x00001136 \Oblix\coreid\palantir\aaa_server\src\plugins.cpp:1329
"Error while loading the plug-in symbols" tmpdso^csmAuthnSSOPlugin
I thought perhaps a dependency .dll was not present on the server, i.e. managed_plugin_interface.dll, however it is present in an appropriate lib directory. So...any ideas out there? :-)

If you have reinstalled Access Server, try running the Access Server configuration utility. I think its obacc*.exe or search for exe file name.
Once you retype all the configuration info, it should start.

Access server not displaying ROMMON mode target device

Hi All,
I'm encountering a curious problem (or I'm overlooking something).
I'm configuring a console server for configuring remote devices. This is working well except for the fact that if a target device is in ROMMON mode, the console server refuses to displays the target device console. It does open the connection but the ROMMON prompt is not shown on the console server . This is essential for this device as we will need to use it to reset passwords remotely and thus need to be able to access ROMMON mode from the console server.
Parts used are a 2951 router and a HWIC-8A serial card. Does anyone has some ideas?
Posted my config below:

Application Server not reading formsweb.cfg

Hi all,
I've installed Apps Fusion middleware Version 12.1 on RHEL 3.3.
I'm able to access forms through direct path like
http://appshr:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=Holiday_master.fmx
but when i try to access using alias like below it gives me error FRM :40010 can not read Form abcd
http://appshr:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=abcd
I've set most of the environmental Veriable but still error persists...
I've had setup same Environment for same machine but OS was Windows Server 2003 R2 and it is worked/ing fine.
But not getting any idea where i messed up here in Linux?
any ideas will be appreciated.
Regards!

Server not found (firefox plugin)

Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong . . When I try and
install Macromedia Flash Player i get that the installation has
failed . . when I try and manually install I get -
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at fpdownload.macromedia.com.
* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I tried all the suggestions that where given in the post and
I still continue to get those errors.maybe macromedia flash just
really doesnt want to cater to linux users or mac users.

Exchange 2013 - Proxy through client access server not working

Hello All -
I recently migrated our company to Exchange 2013 and noticed that our email was leaving through the mailbox server. I put a check mark in the Send Connector where it says "Proxy through Client Access Server" and my mail is still coming from the
mailbox server. How can I go about fixing this problem?
Environment:
1 CAS Server
1 Mailbox Server
Both server are behind the firewall with only port 25 opened to the CAS. The CAS has a Send Connector to a smart host for all messages.
Thank you!
Ryan

Hi,
Please check if the outbound messages without smart host are coming from CAS .
I doubt it send to the smart host directly if you configure smart host, and not use proxy thogh CAS.

Lion Server not reading Active Directory Groups reliably

I am trying to upgrade one of our XServes from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server and am running into a strange issue with our Active Directory based users and Groups.
The current Snow Leopard Server serving files from a XSan volume is running fine, though we find a very long Lag time for Windows users to connect. Once a few users have connected the lag seems to go away, but it is still not nearly as fast as Mac users connecting or Windows connecting to a PC server.
So I have connected a second Xserve to the SAN and performed a clean install of Lion Server. Initially while it would find my Active Directory Groups it would not import any of the users, so obvioulsly no one could connect. In a last ditch effort I installed the beta of 10.7.4, which seemed to resolve the issue for a small group of test users. However as I expanded the test I found that some users would get a message that the were no resources available to them, or they didn't have the correct permissions. This is very strange as everyone is in the same group so should have the same permissions. As a test I took one of the user accounts and created a new share and gave him R/W permission to that share and suddenly all of the shares that he should have had permission to in the first place popped up.
The only thing that I can think of is that we have such a large Active Directory structure that the authentication is timing out or reaching some user limit and stops looking. (we have over 50,000 users and thousands of groups spread through multiple OUs in the AD structure)
The new Server.app in Lion looks nice, but it does not seem to have nearly the robustness of the previous Server Admin tools. For instance, I never needed or wanted to setup a "Golden Triangle" but with Lion it is required. Perviously I could search for AD users or groups and drag them from the search window to the share to assign permission, now even though I've imported the groups and users it needs to search the entire directory when assigning permissions - why can't it see the groups that are already there? Why can I run a dscl search and find a user or group instantly, but the Server.app hangs for 5 minutes and shows 0 results?
Has anyone found a way to make Lion Server work in an enterprise environment?

Yesterday morning I bound a 10.7.4 server to our AD, and in the afternoon I eventually saw all the AD users, groups, etc show in Workgroup Manager. Now, with dscl, I can see all the AD user and group records, and with Workgroup Manager, I can search the groups, users, and computers, but with the Server.app, when trying to create new group of the type "Imported group from another directory", the searches returned nothing. Directory Utility can show all the AD information also. Our AD has thousands of user record, and so it is reasonable that it may take some time for the Mac server to get all the info. But from the add users or groups interface, I just could not get any search results. What could be wrong then?

NIO Non-Blocking Server not Reading from Key

I have created a NIO non blocking server (below) and it will not pick up any input from the client.... My log doesnt even show that it enters the readKey() method, so it must be something before. Any help would be appreciated.

                if (!client.isConnected()) {

                //logger.exiting("jamb.server.Server", "writeKey");

From my own expierence with the NIO (Under Windows XP/ jdk1.4.1_01); you can't seem to set READ and WRITE at the same time.
The program flow I usually end up with for a echo server is:
When the selector.isAcceptable(): accept a connection; register for READs
In the read event; write the incoming characters to a buffer; register for a WRITE and add the buffer as an attachment.
In the write event; write the data to the socket If all the data was written; register for a READ; otherwise register for another WRITE so that you can write the rest.
Not sure if that the "proper" way; but it works well for me.

Does Mozilla's Plugin Checker not read Safari plugins correctly? My Plugins are all up to date and it still says "update."

Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
Shockwave for Director
Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.0 — from file “DirectorShockwave.plugin”.
I'm wondering if it is how Safari does not list the entire version in it's plugin page, such as 11.6.0 instead of 11.6.0.r.626.
Also I have Looked in the plugins file for Safari and turned on the extension to show invisible extensions and it shows this:
DirectorShockwave.plugin 11.6.0r626
Flash Player.plugin 10.3 r181.34
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled just to see if that was the problem.

When you run the plugin check, you should get a column with the full version number (here's Flash, for example, in the attached screen shot).
As for finding Safari plugins, I don't know how it works on MacOS; on Windows, Firefox will scan certain locations outside of its folders to pick up plugins that are not Firefox-specific. The plugin checker then will use the information that Firefox has gathered.

Since upgrading to 8.0.1, on 80% of the addresses entered Firefox give me a "server not available - try again" error message. What did you guys do?

Since upgrading two days ago to Firefox 8.0.1 I get this error message on 80% of the addresses I try to access:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at orders.tigerdirect.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
What's the problem with the upgrade?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Clean Access Server could not establish a secure connection

I have a OOB Real IP GW setup on v4.1.2
I seem to have a problem with the CAS connecting to the CAM although I have added the CAS to the CAM and can manage the CAS from the CAM.
I noticed while troubleshooting client authentication that the client was not being redirected to the logon web page and it had full access to the trusted network from the untrusted authentication vlan. I eventually figured out that if I change the CAS Filter Fallback method from Allow to ignore then it tries to authenticate the client. However the fact that the fallback is activated tells you that something is not right.
I have 2 problems:
A) The clients web page is redirected for authentication but it only lists the domain name in the URL and not the hostname or host IP. In the lab I do not have a DNS server and it would not help as it does not include the hostname in the URL anyway. How do I fix this or perhaps it's related to the 2nd problem.
B) When I manually change the URL by replacing the domain name with the IP of the CAS (untrusted OOB Real IP GW) then I get the following error message when logging on:
Network Error:
Clean Access Server could not establish a secure connection to Clean Access Manager at mydomain.com.
This could be due to one or more of the following reasons: 1) Clean Access Manager certificate has expired 2) Clean Access Manager certificate cannot be trusted or 3) Clean Access Manager cannot be reached.
Please report this to your network administrator.
I would guess the culprit is No 2 but surely the system can run on self signed certificates? I have an NTP server so time is in sync. I have even tried regenerating the cetificates on the CAM
& CAS.
Any ideas?

To overcome problem B, I regenerated the SSL Certificates using the host IP address instead of the name for all the CAM & CAS appliances. This seems to have resolved this problem.
I also SSH'd from each of the CAS's to each of the CAM's from the CLI and it then prompts to permanently store the certificates. I'm not sure it this was necessary though.

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

How to check whether a SMTP server is supporting Authentication or not

Hi All,
We are using Java Mail API 1.3.1/1.3.2 to send the messages. some of the SMTP servers that we use are supporting authentication and some of them are not.
As the SMTPTransport.supportsAuthentication() is not available only in Java mail API 1.4.1, we are identifying the SMTP server whether it is supporting authentication or not in the following way.
Socket clientSocket = null;
InetSocketAddress socketAddress = null;
OutputStream outStream = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
InputStreamReader inReader = null;
OutputStreamWriter outWritter = null;
try
clientSocket = new Socket();
socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(host, port);
clientSocket.connect(socketAddress, timeout*1000); // convert timeout from second to miliseconds
// 1: now try to execute the given command by passing that on Out-Socket
outStream = clientSocket.getOutputStream();
outWritter = new OutputStreamWriter(outStream);
outWritter.write("ehlo localhost" +"\n");
outWritter.flush();
// 2:Read output of above command
inStream = clientSocket.getInputStream();
inReader = new InputStreamReader(inStream);
// This array limit would be fine to get "AUTH" extension of smtp server.
char[] arr = new char[16384];
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
inReader.read(arr);
for(int i=0; i< arr.length; i++)
strBuilder.append(arr);
System.out.println(METHOD_NAME + "SMTP server response for ehlo localhost command ->"+strBuilder.toString());
// The output EHLO command comes like below :
// ehlo localhost
// 250-ap9058pc.us.oracle.com Hello ap614ses.us.oracle.com [130.35.33.43], pleased to meet you
// 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
// 250-PIPELINING
// 250-8BITMIME
// 250-SIZE
// 250-DSN
// 250-ETRN
// 250-AUTH GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
// Since for XATUH ( like internal IP),
// we are not sure, so just checking for AUTH capability.
supported = strBuilder.indexOf("250-AUTH") >=0? true : false;
As shown in above code, we are issuing 'ehlo localhost' command to SMTP server, if the response i. 'strBuilder' contains '250-AUTH' then we are assuming that it is supporting authentication.
But for one SMTP server the 'strBuilder' value is showing as '220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready at Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:57:20 +0100' only which is socket connection output but not 'ehlo localhost' command output.
where as the telnet test output is showing correct only as below
# telnet mail.durofelguera.com 25
Trying 172.20.16.65...
Connected to mail.durofelguera.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready
at 0
ehlo localhost
250-mail.durofelguera.com Hello localhost ([172.20.15.209]), pleased to meet
yu
250-HELP
250-AUTH LOGIN
250-SIZE
250 PIPELINING
AUTH LOGIN
The question is why the 'strBuilder' is not showing 'ehlo localhost' conad output where as the telnet test results are showing correctly, what is going wrong here?
Is there any other way to check that whether SMTP server is supporting authentication or not?

There are so many things wrong with your code, it's hard to know where to start...
Basically, the problem is not as simple as you think it is.
For example, some servers might not allow authentication until you've issued
the STARTTLS command.
These days, essentially all servers allow authentication. You're probably better
off just assuming the server supports.

Most times when trying to access web sites get page stating Server Not Found..... Try Again. As soon as I hit try again I always get the web site - annoying!!!

When I try to google websites OR even try to access my email I will be taken to a notice which states "Server Not Found" with several explanations with a TRY AGAIN button at the bottom. When I hit the try again button I am immediately taken to the web site or to my email. This happens constantly and very rarely can I access a web site or my email without this frame popping up.

This is a very generic error message.
What user you are trying to search. Are you using username, display name or email address when searching
Was any domain related changed done
What if that users tried to logon to sharepoint site.
Does this error occur with all the account when you click edit? If not, based on the error,
the user account which might be removed from Active Directory or renamed accidentally. Please have a check.

Fatal error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Fatal error: Client does not support authentication protocol

This is the error that comes up on the server where the site
sits. The database is working on my local machine with the local
settings, but wont connect due to the above.
I think im using MySQL client 3.23 How do i upgrade?
I found this on MySQL site:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html
I'm not sure how to edit the connection string to make it
accept the vaules.

The MySQL client that the error refers to isn't the version
of MySQL,
but the MySQL library bundled with PHP. It sounds as though
your hosting
company has upgraded to MySQL 4.1 or higher, but is still
using PHP 4.
> I'm not sure how to edit the connection string to make

You can't. It's the way that the user account passwords are
stored in
MySQL. You need to get the hosting company to upgrade to PHP
5 or to
reset the passwords in MySQL using the OLD_PASSWORD()
function. This
needs to be done by someone with top-level administrative
privileges on
the database.
