Getting control of a domain name

a prosepective client has approached me
the problem is that there has been some sort of dispute with her old web designer.
also it turns out that the host is a sole trader who knows the developer personally.
so neiter of them will give me access to the hosting account or release the domain name
how do I get the domain name released so that I can regester it with a different host.

A few points
> The hosts site was designed by the clients old designer (the host site has a designed by note at the bottom)
> When i spoke to the host on the phone he seamed to know the old designer personally, and was familiar with his case with my client.
> The name which the who is lookup returned sounds a lot like the name of the HOST (not the designer)
> It seasm to be an individual running the host not a large company.
Im guessing that i have no hope getting anywhere by dealing with this through the host of old designer so
Assuming that the clinet can prove that it is her buisness which organisation do i need to contact in order to get the domain name released

  • Where i can get the mobile phone domain name

    i wan to send sms using smtp..!! i from MALAYSIA..!! where i can find these mobile company domain name , so that i can send sms using this domain name..!! [email protected]
    pls guide me...

    First create a MimeMessage addressed to [email protected] The session for the MimeMessage could point to either of the following SMTP server:
    (a) Your local ISP's smtp server. e.g. If you're on a dialup account use the SMTP server you specify on your Outlook. That'll be the easiest way...
    (b) Do a DNS lookup of type MX record for sms.celcom.com.my and use that server as the SMTP server.
    Add content to your message and do a Transport.send( msg);!!
    Hope this helps!

  • Getting list of domain names on NT, and authenticating user

    Hello, I want to make an class that will check the user login name and password on a NT domain, the class will show a screen with 2 fields, username and password, and a combobox, with all domain names, on this screen the user will type his username and password and choose a domain to login to, the class will then check if he can login to that domain.
    Currently the problem I have is that I couldn�t find a way to get a list of domain names.
    And after I get that list, what is the best way to authenticate the user ?
    Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

    hi,
    you can ask for username, password by running this code:
    String auth = httpRequest.getHeader("Authorization");
    if (auth == null)
    httpResponse.setStatus(httpResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
    httpResponse.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "NTLM");
    httpResponse.flushBuffer();
    return;
    if (auth.startsWith("NTLM "))
    byte[] msg = new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(auth.substring(5));
    int off = 0, length, offset;
    if (msg[8] == 1)
    byte z = 0;
    byte[] msg1 = {(byte)'N', (byte)'T', (byte)'L', (byte)'M', (byte)'S', (byte)'S', (byte)'P',
    z,(byte)2, z, z, z, z, z, z, z,(byte)40, z, z, z,
    (byte)1, (byte)130, z, z,z, (byte)2, (byte)2,
    (byte)2, z, z, z, z, z, z, z, z, z, z, z, z};
    httpResponse.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "NTLM " +
    new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encodeBuffer(msg1));
    httpResponse.sendError(httpResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
    return;
    else if (msg[8] == 3)
    off = 30;
    length = msg[off+17]*256 + msg[off+16];
    offset = msg[off+19]*256 + msg[off+18];
    String remoteHost = new String(msg, offset, length);
    length = msg[off+1]*256 + msg[off];
    offset = msg[off+3]*256 + msg[off+2];
    String domain = new String(msg, offset, length);
    length = msg[off+9]*256 + msg[off+8];
    offset = msg[off+11]*256 + msg[off+10];
    String username = new String(msg, offset, length);
    You can put this code in youe servlet or in a filter.
    I am also strucked with similar problem.
    With this code i am getting the window to enter loginId/password but i am not able to authenticate it.
    If you have found any solution to authenticate the user please help me.
    i am really strucked.
    thanks in advance

  • How can I find the currently logined domain name on Windows??

    Dear,
    I've a program that query some user account information from A.D.
    But I don't want to hard code anything.
    I've read some previous post about using LDAP, and using DNS queries to found all LDAP server of A.D.
    But how can I get the A.D. domain name in Java?
    for example
    ldcp://_ldap._tcp.xxxx.yyyy
    I want to get "xxxx.yyyy" from the logined user account. It is possible in Java.

    You coud use the NTSystem class to derive the NetBIOS domain name, however without doing some gymnastics it isn't easy to derive the fully qualified domain name. import java.io.*;
    import com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem;
    class NTDomain {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              NTSystem system = new NTSystem();
              String domain = system.getDomain();
              System.out.println("Domain: " + domain);
    }The only other alternatives could be to check the domain suffix of the user principal that was authenticated via Kerberos ....
    lc = new LoginContext(searchkrb5.class.getName(),new SampleCallbackHandler());
         lc.login();
         catch (LoginException le) {
              System.out.println("Logon failed: " + le);
              System.exit(-1);
         System.out.println("Authenticated via GSS-API");
            System.out.println("User: " + lc.getSubject().getPrincipals().toString); however I think that you still have to specifify the Kerberos realm in the apps configuration file.
    Another alternative could be to make assumptions about the machines hostname, however one day an assumption will always be proven wrong, (eg. The machine's DNS domain name does not need to match the Active Directory domain).
    Unless there is a Java API to read the Windows registry or extract Kerberos ticket information from the WIndows Kerberos ticket cache, you may be kind of stuck.

  • Finding IP and fully qualified domain name.

    Okay i have a java program taht runs on ubuntu the latest version. I got java 6.0 using apt-get install. oKay now i wrote a server socket program. But what it also should do is get the fully qualified domain name of the system and its ip address. So now my system is called "tools.myproject.com" okay. I dont have system registered under a domain or somethign but i specify it in my /etc/hosts file. since linux also uses the /etc/hosts file to resolve domain names. Now is there anyway in java that i can get this name. If not that then is there a way i can get the ip of this machine, which is not the loop back address. When i do the InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostaddress() method or whatever thats there in the documentation i get the loop back address thats specified thats 127.0.0.1 and the canonicalname for taht is some rubbish that i dont need. So can anyone help me out.
    Also i found some NetworkInterface class from which i can get the IP Address of the machine. Also the Canonical Name i get from the IpAddress does it look at the /etc/hosts file or the DNS server?
    Thanks!
    Edited by: mynameissriharsha on Jul 14, 2008 2:42 PM

    Try this
    InetAddress[] inet = InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress());
    for (int x = 0; x < inet.length; x++)
        System.out.println
            ("IP " + (x + 1) + ": " + inet[x].toString().substring(1));
    }

  • WLC - Domain name configuration....

    hi All,
    I am trying to configure the domain name in wlc but i am not geeting the option.
    If i checked the sh cdp nei on switch where my LWAPP connected....its showing...
    puna-wpi-ap-1g.cisco.com....
    where i think cisco.com is default domain.
    So pls give me the appropriate solution to configure the domain in WLC.
    Waiting for the reply ASAP.....
    Thanks & Regards,
    RAJU

    4.2 shouldn't have had an issue with the domain name, I believe that started in 5.0, and was fixed in 5.2. If the AP is getting DHCP, then the domain name should be set from the DHCP option. If you are using static, you would need to use a command to gain access to the CLI of the AP to set it, but it will not persist through a rebot as you cannot write to the memory of an LWAPP AP.

  • IWeb and domain names 101

    I know this material has been covered here before, but I'm having trouble putting the story together fully - sorry if this is repetitive, but:
    I have a website up which I created in iWeb, and currently publish in iWeb using my Mobile Me account to host it. I assume that's how it's working anyway? I think the folders holding the site pictures etc are kept on my iDisk?
    I have two questions
    1) I want to purchase a simpler name for the site, and just work it so that everything is the same, but my site will now have a simple name, rather than the complex one it is assigned by iWeb (which uses my email address, etc etc)
    How do I do that?
    2) Is that the best way to do this, or are there benefits to having the site hosted by another service other than .Mac (or MobileMe - whatever it is porperly called these days.)
    Thanks!

    Please can you help.
    I have two Mobile Me accounts, and I want to load a different personal domain on the second one to the first one. The first one is personal, and the second one is for a group practice. When I uploaded the pages to Mobile Me, it "assumed" that the pages intended for the second site were to be loaded to the first site under domain name 1. In fact, I want to get those pages under domain name 2. I have been to the domain provider's site and changed the CNAME so that it uploads under the second domain name. I assumed that I could have two separate domain names because I have paid two subs for Mobile Me. What I can't work out is how I can move the pages from the first account personal domain to the second account personal domain. Can anyone help please?

  • Getting old site off the 'net without appropriate files. (to start over with same domain name)

    As a complete novice, I'm not even sure how to start this question...but, I have tried everything and I think I have "lost" my website in terms of bringing in back into DW and changing/updating it.  My backup files on my computer have disappeared and the appropriate files through my cPanel to bring it back to in order make changes aren't there.  The website still functions, but it is outdated for my business needs.
    So, at this point, my question is this; how can I gain control over the domain and start over from scratch.  I don't want what is out there anymore, but without control through the above mentioned devices, is it even possible to build a new website and get the old one off the 'net as it is and still keep the original www.name.com?
    I'm clueless at this point.  Thanks.

    Thanks for trying to help.
    You will need to sort out the FTP issues because when you have edited your site, you will need to upload it and so FTP details will be required.
    Your first port-of-call to sort this out is to contact your host who can reset the password for you so that you can start all over again.  The alternative, is to give your password/login details to Murray (PRIVATELY) so that he can try from his machine.  When this is done, you can always change the password for your own security.

  • Can't seem to get my own domain name to work

    First of all I'm sure this has been asked a lot so apologies if it's a repetitive post I'm just at the hair pulling stage!
    Well. I've had no issues joining mobile me (joined a week ago) and publishing my site from iWeb.
    But then I wanted to get my own domain name.
    (i got it from 123-reg.co.uk just in case that is is anyway significant.)
    This is where my question becomes a bit "Balloon" shaped.
    When setting my CName on 123-reg I was asked to enter info into two boxes. (That seemed to tally with the help files I have read.)
    I entered web.me.com into the first box and my domain name into the second. I'll just call it for now www.mywebsite.co.uk
    Then it asked me to enter my website IP which I located by using one of those pages you can type a domain into and it searches...
    Sorry if this is dumb but does that sound about right?
    Some questions-
    -Is it correct to put www.mywebsite.co.uk as well as web.me.com or should it be something else?
    -Would there be any mobile-me issues while I'm still on the free trial?
    -Are some domain name providers incompatible with mobile-me?
    -And if I change the CName with the registrar should I delete and reconfigure myown domain in my mobile me-account?
    If anyone could enlighten me they would basically be my new hero!
    Thanks.

    Oh one more thing..
    When asked for the IP of your website does that mean the IP of your own website or the host (being Mobileme of course? i.e. the IP of www.web.me.com/mywebsitetemporaryname or me.com?

  • How do I get IE to drop the domain name from authentication responses

    All,
    I have a number of internal www servers that run various non MS operating systems which are not tied to the windows domain in any way. They are secure www sites and require authentication.
    When I connect to one via IE on a domain joined workstation or server (ie 8 & 9) I am unable to authenticate because I can not remove the domain name from the authentication credentials that IE is passing back to the www server.  I get an authentication
    prompt for user name & password with the domain pre populated.
    How the heck to I get IE to NOT pass the domain name as part of the authentication process. I've tried putting .\ in front of the user name but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Steve D.

    As you can see below, when you first attempt the auth it defaults to you domain user account... in this case win\username.
    When you select use another account, you get the following with no means to remove the domain name which causes auth failure as this www server isn't a domain member and doesn't use the domain for auth.
    How do I get rid of Domain: .... ???
    Thanks,
    Steve D.

  • Getting the domain name of the Client PC using WebUtil

    Hi Guys,
    Is there a way I can find the domain name of the computer running the forms using webutil.
    I use WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO.GET_HOST_NAME to get the client computer name. I would also need the domain name.
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    message(CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.GET_ENVIRONMENT_STRING('USERDOMAIN'));I believe if no domain is defined, it will return the host name. Also, this obviously will only work on Windows clients.
