Does iPlanet Portal Server support ipsec (IP Security Protocol)

IPSec operates at the operating system level, not the application level. Solaris 8 supports IPSec so you can use iPSec to set up tunnels between the gateway and the profile server to secure the connection.
Does this answer your question?

How does iPlanet Portal server support authentication to NT domains/workgroups?

I would recommend reading this ..
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/portal/30/ag/authctn.htm#754920
One thing that is not specified in the document, you would also need to install samba that comes as a part of the 3 rd party cd toolkit.

Does the iplanet Portal server support other existing standalone Webservers/application Servers the likes of weblogic, websphere etc?

If so, will the session management aspect be looked after by the iPlanet Portal server?

The new version of Portal (6.0 I believe) will run on weblogic or websphere as well as iAS.

Does iPlanet portal server provide multi language support?

HI There,
You should be able to set up multiple languages based on the user locale. You can have different templates for each locale within your custom template dir. By convention the following is the order when the portal server checks for templates:
1.<dir>_<locale> (the localized, cust. directory first)
2.<dir> (non-localized, cust. directory)
3.default_<locale> (localized default directory)
4.default (default directory)
Each locale can obviously support a different language.
Hope this helps

Does iPlanet POrtal Server provide additional language package for a additional price or is it required to be taken from a third party?

The additional language package need not be taken from any third party. I think iPlanet offers language package at additional cost. Still you may get in contact with the Sales Office for more details.
Thanks,

POP3 support with iPlanet portal server

Greetings,
We are looking to use a web client (NetMail lite) or thin client (NetMail
lite applet) with iPlanet Portal Server 6.0 sp3 out-of-the-box that will
support POP3. It appears that NetMail lite used to support POP3, but it
appears to only support IMAP now? Is this true?
We are not using iPlanet Messenger Server, we are integrating with existing
POP3 servers. Has anyone found an iPlanet client for this or used a third
party tool for this?

Does iplanet 6.0 support W3c RDF API?

Hi,
Does iplanet 6.0 support W3c RDF API? We are trying to use iplanet 6.0
for development. Now we have a problem that our codes can't work
successfully when we use iplanet 6.0. Did you have any advice or
experience? Thanks,
Yan.

What are you trying to do? Serve RDF summaries? You should be able to do
that as long as you set the MIME types correctly.

How do I restrict access by domain and the rest of the world to the documents in the public_html folder in iPlanet Portal Server?

Hello,
We have multiple domains configured in our iPlanet Portal Server 3 demo environment. In addition we are using the gateway.
In one of these domains the userTemplate.html file is tailored to display Macromedia Flash components at dynamic positions on the page. The logical home for these Flash components (since the portal software cannot find them if we simply store them in iwtDesktop) is somewhere below the /opt/SUNWips/public_html directory.
The problem is that once the file is stored here I can access it if I know the url (http://server:8080/file_path) without being authenticated in the domain.
The allow/deny url policy settings are specific to a domain and seem to have no affect on the rest of the world.
Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Joel,
If your intent is to block access to the doc root, you can probably use access control lists (acl) to prevent anyone from accessing the files stored under public_html. You can get more information about how to create ACLs from the following URL
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/41/ag/esaccess.htm#1005439
You can even set up Basic Authentication for access to the direcory or ip based access or any which way you want. I've personally never blocked access to the doc root in portal, so I am not sure what the impact will be.
Hope this helps!

In terms of efficiency and expandability, how does iPlanet Portal software differ from a portal written in PHP and PERL?

In my opinion the fact that the portal uses primarily JAVA, lends itself to quite a bit of expandability. I think it will be quite difficult for a portal written in PHP (Such as PHP Nuke) to share user session and state information accross multiple machines/instances. The iPlanet portal server has been designed to accomodate this, through the use of specialised session services. The threading model in Java also lends itself to greater efficiency when executing multiple tasks, whereas a portal based on PERL, would have to start a new process everytime a service is requested, which can then become VERY resource intensive.
In terms of expandability, the fact that it is contaned inside a JAVA VM will allow you to develop and deploy alot of custom developed applications for your portal. There is also quite a good portal API for the iPlanet portal server that will allow you to tap into the Logging,Session,Profile and Authentication services provided by the portal.
Hope this helps!

Does solaris dhcp server support user class

Does solaris dhcp server support user class(option 77). In my environment, solaris dhcp server seems just ignore this option set in the client dhcp discover.
Does anybody can help me.

The clients are all Windows 7 x64 (but I've replicated the problem on MacOS and Solaris clients). The server is Solaris 11 x86.
For the problem to be the ARP cache, wouldn't the client's MAC address have to change during the reboot (i.e. the change in the client's MAC address is what causes the ARP cache to get confused, and hence the client gets blocked because of the MAC mismatch)?
