External Control for VPN in Android

Hi ,
I am connecting to VPN on Android externally using URI mechanism. Is there any way to detect whether i am already connected to Cisco VPN or not using some URI. I haven't found any in the documentation. Please help.

Disable External Control in AnyConnect programmatically (Android)

Hello,
I am using URI mechanism to import certificate from an external application. External Control is then enabled by the user in AnyConnect parameters. Is there a way to disable External Control programmatically using URI mechanism or else? Or user should manually disable this feature?
Thanks

Sond control for external modem when faxing

Does anyone know of a way to turn off the sound when using an Apple external modem for faxing? Oddly, my sound output is set for USB speakers which are off. I have the system volume turned all the way down. Yet when sending or receiving a fax, the initial dial tone sings out loud and clear.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

I believe the Pagesender string is the default to start at 14,400 baud and auto-negotiate down to 9600, 4800, etc until communication can be established. Hardware error correction is typically off being controlled only by the software.
Fax machines will automatically negotiate to 9600 if they cannot establish a faster rate.
Most VoIP services tell you that a special line is required for faxing, and that you cannot fax over the standard voice line. Cannot tell you more than this.
The Apple modem uses standard Motorola modem commands. If you can find an old document for a typical Motorola modem then you will find the AT commands.

NetworkManager, VPN, GUI, disabled controls for routes editing

Hello.
There is no possibility to edit routes for VPN in NM gui, controls are disabled.
Look: http://storage1.static.itmages.ru/i/12/ … 7e90a3.png
I've tried with openvpn and pptp plugins. But the same controls for wi-fi connections works correct.
What could be the reason of it?

Edit: Your url gives 404. Also, what kind of vpn is it you want to connect to? (you really shounld't use pptp for sseurity reasons)
Thank you for the answer. Adding polkit permissions didn't help. By the way, I have no password dialogs while editing network connections via nm-applet, all works fine except editing routes

Server 2012 NPS NAP DHCP for VPN

I have setup a server with DHCP and NPS and configured NAP DHCP.
DHCP has 1 scope and the default scope options 003 router, 005 DNS server and 015 Domain Name (domain.com).
Further In DHCP i created a DHCP policy so it assigns a different 005 DNS server and 015 Domain Name (restricted.domain.com) to non-compliant clients. NPS/NAP DHCP is working (all is setup health, shv, gpo etc.. Health Validator is only checking if firewall
is runnning) so when i connect a client with firewall i get a normal IP from the scopt with the scope options and domain suffix domain.com. When i disable the firewall i get an IP from the DHCP scope, no gateway, subnet 255.255.255.255 and domain suffix restricted.domain.com
so all works well and as NAP DHCP should work.
Now i have an seperate RRAS server configured as VPN server and configured my DHCP/NPS server as an Radius Authentication Provider. Also a DHCP relay agent is configured in RRAS
On my DHCP/NPS server i configured my RRAS server as a Radius Client (nap-capable).
My questions:
Q1. can i use NAP DHCP for vpn clients, as VPN clients get IP address from my DHCP server? i know there is a NAP VPN option but i want to use NAP DHCP cause NAP DHCP and NAP VPN don;t work together and i want NAP DHCP for internal clients.
My problem:
P1. with setup above i cannot setup a VPN connection from an external client i get an error "Error 812:The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server.specfically ,the authentication method used by the server to verify
your usename and password may not match the auithentication method configured in your connection profile .Please contact the Administrator of the RAS server and notify them of this error"
I can resolve my problem P1 by running "configure VPN for Dial-Up" with the option "Radius server for Dial-Up or VPN connections." This creates 1 Connection Request Policy and 1 Network Policy, in the policy i set authtorized to windows
group domain admins
But then I have an issue with NAP DHCP...
When i have a non-domain joined external client, where i have enabled NAP client in services.msc and DHCP Enforcement in local policy i can setup a VPN connection but from the DHCP server i get an IP addres from the subnet/scope and domain suffix domain.com,
so this is working OK. But when i disconnnect the VPN client and disable and stopthe firewall and connect the VPN again its not getting restricted running ipconfig /all shows its not restricted and also Netsh nap client show state > shows its not restricted
BUT it SHOULD be restricted as the firewall is off.
What could be wrong?

Hi,
After discussed with so many people, I think this will not work.
First we need know how DHCP enforcement works.
1. The DHCP client sends a DHCP request message to the DHCP server.
If the DHCP client has an SoH, the DHCP request message includes it. The SoH contains information about the health of the client. The DHCP server passes the SoH to
the NPS server. The NPS server communicates with the policy server to determine whether the SoH is valid.
2. If the SoH is valid, the DHCP server assigns the DHCP client a complete IP address configuration. The DHCP client has unlimited access to the network, as defined
by policy.
3. If the SoH is not valid, the DHCP server limits the access of the DHCP client to the restricted network and assigns it a limited access subnet mask and static
routes, as defined by policy.
But VPN clients get IPs in a different way. It uses the IP Control Protocol (IPCP) as part of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection setup. Everything is done
in VPN tunnel.
Hope this helps.

Can not select external input for sound

can not select external input for sound

Hey there RoosterMonkey,
It sounds like you have Soundtrack Pro installed but you cannot select your external audio device as an input. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3659
Update to the latest software versions
From the Apple () menu, choose Software Update and make sure that you have the most recent updates for your versions of Soundtrack Pro 3, QuickTime, Compressor, Pro Application Support, and other important system files. Installing the latest updates ensures that your software has the latest improvements and enhancements.
Note: Be sure the application is in the Applications folder and is named Soundtrack Pro before running Software Update.
Check compatibility and driver versions for third-party devices
If you're using a third-party sound card, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in, check the support area on the manufacturer's website to be sure that you're using the latest version of the relevant driver or other software for your product. For information on troubleshooting possible issues with Audio Unit plug-ins, go to Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Audio Unit plug-in issues.
Try a different Multitrack Project or Audio File Project
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Soundtrack Pro. To create a fresh project, choose File, then New and select Multitrack Project or Audio File. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Delete the User Preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Soundtrack Pro to its original settings. This will not impact your project files. To reset your Soundtrack Pro user preference settings to their original state:
Quit Soundtrack Pro if it is open.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Remove the "com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro in the "Go to the folder" field.
Remove the "EffectsCache.plist" file from the Soundtrack Pro folder.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts in the "Go to folder" field.
Remove the "Soundtrack Pro.saved.moduleLayout" file from the Layouts folder.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to folder" field.
Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" from the Caches folder.
Remove receipts and reinstall Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Soundtrack Pro and Compressor. To do this effectively, you need to remove the applications and their receipts, then install Soundtrack Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. Compressor gets installed automatically when you install Soundtrack Pro. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Soundtrack Pro, so follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Soundtrack Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs handy before beginning.
In Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X Lion
Open the Terminal application and enter the following commands one at a time and an administrator password when prompted. Note: The commands are case sensitive.
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Compressor
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Qmaster
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.VideoOutSupport
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.PSTSharedA
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleHDVCodec
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleIntermediateCodec
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.DSPPublishing
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.SoundtrackPro
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Uncompressed422
Then, reinstall Soundtrack Pro and Compressor using the following steps:
Open the Applications folder. Drag the Soundtrack Pro and Compressor applications to the Trash.
Insert your Logic Studio or Final Cut Studio installation disc and install Soundtrack Pro.
When finished installing, choose the Apple () menu, then Software Update to update your software to the latest version.
Open Soundtrack Pro to verify that the issue has been resolved.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

Is it possible to assign an extended desktop to be an external desktop for a window's machine?

I have an iMac with Lion and a Windows Vists Laptop and corresponding external monitor on my desk. I'd ideally like to use my iMac as an external monitor for the Window's machine and essentially remove the physical one from my desk. Make sense?
I already have 4 extended desktops created on my iMac and I'm HOPING that I could assign Desktop 4 (example) as the external monitor to be controlled by the Vista machine. I'd like to be able to flip between my Mac OS and the "extrernal monitor'' via the 2-finger-swipe gesture. Anyone have any ideas?
NOTE: I also have Paralles installed with Windows 7 running on my iMac, but I specifically need the Vista machine to have the external monitor, so please do not suggest this solution.

Thank you! While reading these directions, I realized that I have the wrong connector. I have the old Mac Monitor serial port to VGA instead of the MiniDisplay port to VGA needed (didn't even think about this computer not having that port available). I just bought the correct one from Apple, so I'll attempt these instructions as soon as it arrives.
To confirm: I'll be able to run the iMac as the external display and have Lion open simultaneously, right? (Obviously not both on the screen simultaneously, but the ability to "switch" views) Based on the article, the trick is turning the Target Display on/off with the Command + F2 buttons (as opposed to assigning an extended desktop and using gestures), correct?
Again, thank you for your help!

ACS/ASA authentication for vpn access vs. console management access

I have an ACS 4.2 Server and an ASA 5540. I have setup AnyConnect SSL VPN on the ASA and want to authenticate users using AAA tacacs+ authentication with the ACS and an external Windows AD database. I have done this successfully. I also want to use the ACS for authenticating SSH management sessions into the ASA. I have setup a group in AD and on the ACS called VPNUSERS and NETADMINS. The problem is, I want the VPN users to ONLY be able to authenticate for VPN but not have access to logging into the ASA CLI or ASDM. The NETADMINS should be able to do both. The question I have is how do I setup the VPNUSER group in ACS to have access to connect to the ASA for VPN but not for the management console? It seems that if they can authenticate for vpn, they can also ssh the firewall which is what I want to prevent.

Try using Network Access Restrictions (NAR)where you can restrict the administrative access on per device or on NDG basis.
By default user accounts from external database such as AD in ACS will get authenticated through telnet on network device or a AAA client which can be restricted by enabling NAR in ACS.
In your case it should be VPNUSERS group in ACS.

ISE Profiling options for VPN clients

I'm trying to mull over what profiling options are available for VPN users. I have an environment using ASA VPN in conjunction with ISE IPN to allow full posturing for VPN clients prior to allowing network access. The use case here is we want to allow BYOD-type devices in for VPN (using software clients), but want to allow them to be exempted from ISE posturing requirements. I don't see an easy way to distinguish these device types that cannot use the NAC agent from the O/Ses that can. Since the mac address isn't sent to the headend, I can't use any of the traditional DHCP-based profiling criteria. So the net effect is these devices are stuck in the "unknown" posture state and have very limited access. Any way around this catch-22? Incidentally DHCP profiling is on and working fine for the wireless users on the network, but doesn't help me here since I only know the machines by their mac address.

Chris I ran into the same issue. Netflow doesn't work and use packet captures to see if anything was worth while. The only option I see is filing a enhancement request to see if the asa can send the device platform over ot ise via radius (much like the device sensor feature on ios).
I also tried to use a span session and the catch with is that the asa doesn't assign the calling station id attribute to the tunnel ip, but the public ip the user is connecting from. So ise doesn't apply the user agent attributes to the current session.
I was able to find a way around this by modifying the messaging via root patch to have the users click a link instead of retrying their request when they hit the cpp portal as a mobile device.

"version control" for Oracle database?

Hi,
My work involves loading data from csv files into database tables. The data structure is different in the csv files than that in the tables, so the loading is not straight forward and I often make mistakes along the way. I would like to know what the best practice is for undoing mistakes and rolling back to meaningful point back in time. To make this more concrete, consider the following scenario.
10:00AM I start loading some data into the database. I create two external tables for my csv files.
10:30AM I create a PL/SQL script to insert the data from the external tables to the target tables.
10:35AM I run the PL/SQL script and commit the change.
11:00AM I notice a bug in my script: some of the data is loaded incorrectly, and some are not loaded.
11:15AM I fix the bug, try to run it again but it fails this time because of unique constraints.
At this point, I want my database to go back in time to 10:00AM, so I can start over. How can I do this?
12:00PM Suppose I manage to start over and successfully loaded the two csv files. I still have more files to load. Before I proceed, I want to somehow "tag" the database so that I can go back to this state later (say two weeks from now, and the rollback segment isn't large enough to go back two weeks).
Currently I use data pump export/import to undo mistakes on my development server. Due to the size of the database, it is not as efficient as I would like. I am from a Java developer background. The scenario sounds a lot like source version control to me. Is there such a thing in database land? What's the best practice for doing rapid try-error-rollback cycles?

Is the data in the external tables sorted by some attribute? Consider keeping a small metadata table indicating the last successful key of the attribute that was committed. Then, after the commit, set a Savepoint (use the attribute key value for the savepoint name) and continue execution. If you find an error before your next commit, you can rollback to that savepoint and not lose all of the updates prior to it, but remember that a subsequent commit erases all savepoints you have set. Flashback of the table(s) is also a good idea. You can get the current db commit no. by executing 'Select current_scn from v$database' (you may need privs to read this table from the dba), and then executing 'Flashback table <table_name> to scn <scn_no>'. You can also use a Timestamp in place of scn_no with the Flashback command.

ISight camera exposure time control for astrophotography

Does anyone know of a way, or an application that allows you to control the shutter speed/exposure time when taking a photo with an external iSight camera?
I am trying to adapt an external iSight camera for astro-photography. There are some excellent tutorials on how to remove the optics to expose the ccd, here. However for certain imaging you need long exposure shots like one could achieve with a DSLR. iGlasses is great for some control, but according to their customer support, does not allow control of the exposure time.
For other webcams there are suggested physical modifications including the use of a soldering iron! I am hoping that someone will be able to point me in the direction of a more elegant software solution! Most astronomy forum users recommend getting a netbook; I can't believe that this isn't something that a mac cannot do better!
Hope that some of you out there who know much more than I do can help out.
Many thanks,
Phil

Not for what you are trying to do.
I don't use anything like you seek, but http://www.outcastsoft.com/ASCASTROIIDC.html offers OS X software for compatible IIDC cameras (other than external iSight.) According to their site:
... Apple's FireWire iSight will never be supported as it lacks IIDC modes we need and is not capable of doing extended CCD exposure times. ...
If that is accurate, your Mac/OS X choices include acquiring:
(1) a supported IIDC camera,
(2) a UVC webcam that can work with something like
http://www.phoboslab.org/log/2009/07/uvc-camera-control-for-mac-os-x
(3) or a DSLR that offers Mac OS X compatible software for the features you need.
If none of those are acceptable within your needed timeframe, my only remaining suggestion would be to find software that does what you want and then buy whatever camera and computer is compatible with it.

External Charger for Muvo S

Does anyone know of an external charger for the Muvo Slim that can be plugged into the USB port.
Alternati'vely, could an adapted 5v power supply be plugged into the usb port, or does it need microprocessor control to prevent overcharging?
How else can I charge the MP3 player when I travel?
Any ideas would be welcome.

I think the only way to charge the player is by usb...not sure about the adapter.

CC - External control

Dear,
I'm trying to use external control on a PI File CC. However to use it I have to add the roles
xi_af_channel_admin_display
xi_af_channel_admin_modify
When I go to host:post/nwa/identity and modify my user to add those roles, I can't seem to find them in the database for roles (both UME and Portal).
Any suggestions as to why these roles don't exist in my NWA? Currently on PI 7.1 SP7.
