Help with customised login JSP on SSO server

Our customised version of the SSO login page JSP is required to access a database table in order to retrieve a dynamic message to display. This means we will need to create utility java classes in order to connect to the database and retrieve the information. We will also ideally need a data source on the SSO APP Server that we can reference in order to avoid hard-coding environment specific connection data.
Can anyone help out on where we will need to install the utility classes and where the data source can be created in order for the login JSP to see them. Is there any other configuration we need to consider e.g. classpaths etc?
The coding we are fine with, it is the actual "what goes where and don't forget to include this" that we are unsure of.

Hello St***,
Did you accomplished the cusomized SSO logon page with database access. If yes can you please provide met with some examples and instructions how to accomplish this.
Regards,
Dennis

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
Any help is appreicated!
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,

Help With Binding to 10.6.8 Server

I am new to server and was hoping someone could help me with the following issue:
My Company has about 50 Macs (mostly 10.7) right now. We have a 10.6.8 server that is running Open Directory as a OD Master. Right now, they only authenticate to the server for AFP share access. Every user here has a Workgroup account which is used for AFP only. The machines are not bound to the server. What I would like to do is bind the machines to the server and have the users authenticate to there already created user accounts. I want to keep their home directories local and just have them authenticate to the server (using their already setup accounts used for AFP) This would be for password management and manging preferences as well. I was able to bind a test machine succesfully to the server but was unable to have it login/authenticate to the server using an already created server account from Workgroup Manager. Any advice that would help me transition this would be greatly apprecaited. What are my next steps for making this happen?   Thanks!

This you will need to move or reset permissions for the user. Here is the issue.
You have a local account, mboker on a machine. This account is stored in dslocal and likely has a UID value of 502, as it was the second account created. (This all assumes that your local admin account was the first one created and is UID 501).
mboker has a home folder located at /Users/mboker. And this folder is owned by mboker, but the mboker from the local domain with a UID of 502. This means that the first are owned by UID 502.
Ah, so now the wrinkle. You have created a user named mboker on the server. This user has a UID of 1027 (as an example), has a shortname of mboker and is defined as a mobile account who should have a local home folder called /Users/mboker
So now the problem. When mboker (1027) logs into the machine, he paths into /Users/mboker owned by 502. And thus you have no permissions to do anything.
Aha! This is an easy fix. So first, you need to make the machine forget about UID 502. Now, the obvious way to do this is to use System Preferences > Accounts and remove the local user. But, you get a sheet that asked you how to handle the home folder data (DO NOT DELETE IT). Now if you choose to keep the data, it renames the folder from /Users/mboker to /Users/mboker (Deleted User) - or something similar. If you go this route you then need to change the name and reset permissions. So I tend to do a shortcut.
By the way, if you are a novice at command line, make sure you have a backup of the user data. While this is quick and efficient, if you make a mistake, there is no undo...
1: Log in as the local admin
2: Open Terminal
3: Become root with
     sudo -s
4: Navigate to the local attributes store by using:
     cd /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/
5: Look at what is in this folder with:
     ls -l
6: Near the bottom of the list you should see a file titled mboker.plist. This is your account attributes file. Likely this file is for the local account (user UID 502). Remove this file from the directory system
     mv mboker.plist /Users/Shared/
moved it in there just in case... You can delete it later once you understand the process
7: Restart directory services or just restart the computer.
8: At login window, login as the local admin
9: Reset ownership on the home folder by using this command
     sudo chown -R mboker /Users/mboker
Now, if you investigate before this step and looked at the mboker home folder, you will notice that it is owned by 502, not a user name. That is because we made the machine forget about the local 502 user so it has no name to associate with the account.
10: Log out of the admin account and log into the mobile account using Other initially.

Please Help with my first jsp

Hi, this may seem basic to you but i've frying my head with simple jsp. Any books i looked at only show code segments!
All i want to do is create an html entry page with form fields for username, password, email address, send the information to a jsp page that validates the form entries and then stores the info in database, and be able to display the info stored in the db also.

Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

Hi
I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long. In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
and any emails I compose dont work. I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
Look forward to a solution soon
Thanks

Hi Angela
Thanks for your message
To answer your questions, please note the following
a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
b) I am the only other user on the account
c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows connection as "established"
e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment? Can you pls explain
Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account. So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions. The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results. I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
been resolved.
Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
Thanks
Mahesh

Help with http login privilige levels. Aironet AP-1100.

In CLI we have users log in at priv 1 and use "enable" to increase privilege and do configurations. This allows "accounting" of command history.
On the AIR-AP1121G-A-K9 (12.3(8)JED1) I cannot duplicate this for http login.
I can log in as a user at priv 1. When I try to go to a privileged link like "Security" I get prompted for a second login/pw. Nothing works here unless I have a second user defined at priv 15 and enter that login/pw. The problem is - that login/pw can be used to log in via http in the first place which bypasses accounting of the actual user. It also allows login to the CLI at priv 15 which I cannot permit.
To test I'm trying to use the most simple tests. No https, no radius, etc.
After extensive reading of documens and forums I am using this:
username test1 secret 5 abcdxxx
username test2 privilege 15 secret 5 efghxxx
enable secret 5 ijklxxx
aaa new-model
<--omit wireless stuff-->
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authentication login HTTPonly local
aaa authorization exec HTTPonly local
aaa authorization commands 15 HTTPonly local
aaa cache profile admin_cache
all
aaa session-id common
ip http server
ip http authentication aaa login-authentication HTTPonly
ip http authentication aaa exec-authorization HTTPonly
ip http secure-server

I'm thinking that maybe it can't be done. I was trying to have the AP require a user level login and then require a second "enable" password for enable privileges - with "straight to enable" not possible from the initial login.
Here are some more attempts:
(p1 = user with default privileges, p15 = user defined with privilege 15)
(step up = can authenticate when some gui links result in secondary login dialog)
aaa authentication login default local
ip http server
no ip http secure-server
---Only allows login with no login name, just enable pwd---
aaa authentication login default local
ip http server
ip http authentication local
---Allows login with p1 or p15. Only p15 works for step-up---
aaa authorization exec http1 if-authenticated
aaa authorization commands 15 http1 local
ip http server
ip http authentication aaa exec-authorization http1
---Allows login with p1 or p15 user but no step-up if p1---
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authorization exec http1 local
aaa authorization commands 15 http1 local
ip http server
ip http authentication aaa exec-authorization http1
---Allows login with p1 or p15 user but no step-up if p1---
aaa authentication login http1 enable
aaa authorization exec http1 local
aaa authorization commands 15 http1 local
ip http server
ip http authentication aaa login-authentication http1
ip http authentication aaa command-authorization 15 http1
no ip http secure-server
---Allows login with p1 or p15 only if using enable pw but no step-up if p1---

Sorry about the incomplete previous post:

It's not practically possible to specify all the users in system-jazn-data.xml. Is there a workaround this? I have pasted below snippets of orion-application.xml and system-jazn-data.xml. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Need help with URL Redirect in Sun Web Server 7 u5

All I am trying to do is redirect to a static URL and for the life of me I can not get it to behave the way I would expect. I am new to Sun Web Server so I am just trying to use the Admin Console to set this up.
Here is what I'm trying to do:
Redirect from - http://www.oldsite.com/store/store.html?store_id=2154
To - http://www.newsite.com/Stores/StoreFront.aspx?StoreId=2154
Here's what I tried in the console.
Added a new URL Redirect
Set the Source to be Condition and set it to: '^/store_id=2154$' (quotes included)
Then set the Target to: http://www.newsite.com/Stores/StoreFront.aspx?StoreId=2154
Then for the URL Type I checked Fixed URL
When I tested with: http://www.oldsite.com/store/store.html?store_id=2154 it did redirect as desired
BUT
When I tested with: "http://www.oldsite.com/store/store.html?store_id=5555" it too got redirected to the Target and I can't figure out how this second URL can satisfy the condition to get redirected.
Any help is most appreciated.

thanks for choosing sun web server 7
it is simpler if you just edit the configuration files manually
cd <ws7-install-root>/https-<hostname>/config/
edit obj.conf or <hostname>-obj.conf (if there is one for you depending on your configuration so that it look something like)
<Object name="default">
AuthTrans..
#add the folllowing line here
<If defined $query>
<If $urlhost =~ "/oldsite.com" and
$uri =~ "/store/store.html" and
$query =~ "store_id=2154" >

now, you can either do <ws7-install-root>/https-<hostname>/bin/reconfig -> to reload your configuration without any server downtime or <ws7-install-root>/https-<hostname>/bin/restart -> to restart the server
if it did work out for your, you will need to run the following so that admin server is aware of what you just did
<ws7-install-root>/bin/wadm pull-config user=admin config=<hostname> <hostname.domainname>
hope this helps

Need help with network user accounts on Mac server App on Yosemite, any tips?

I've been trying to set up a small network with the Server app on Yosemite. I don't want to do anything crazy with the server, I'd just like to know how I can set up network user accounts so that they can login from other Mac computers on the same network. I already have Open directory set up, the Macs that will be used on the network with the server have already been joined to the server under login options. I have created the network user account, I have also joined the user account to a group that I created. When I try to login to the network account from one of the Macs, it doesn't work. I'm pretty rookie with Mac server, can anyway give me any pointers of what I should be doing? Or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys.

The most important step, once you've got Open Directory and DNS set up, with Local Network Users set up in Server.app, is to make sure that all client Macs are using the server's IP address as the primary DNS server in System Preferences > Network, and that they have joined the Network server in System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Options.
Having said all that, I have just spent hours setting this all up only to find out that Mail doesn't currently work with Network Homes in 10.10.3 / Server.app 4.1.
I will be hoping that Apple recognise the bug, and put out a fix soon.

Help with a Custom JSP - Select Box (entry view definition).

I'm in no way an expert in HTML so please bear with me. We have quite a large list of Job Titles that we use on multiple forms and I wanted to use a custom jsp so I only have to update our title list once if we add/remove titles at our organization. I created a simple select box with all our titles and put them on the Vibe server under the custom jsp folder. The select box shows up on the entry form definition no problem... I just don't know how to make it show up on the entry view definition. The code is obviously pretty basic:
<html>
<select name ="Title">
<option value ="Title1">Title1</option>
<option value ="Title2">Title2</option>
<option value ="Title3">Title3</option>
<option value="Title4">Title4</option>
</select>
</html>
What do I need to do in order for it to show up on the entry view definition side of things? Could anyone with html and/or Vibe knowledge please chime in? I'd really appreciate it.

Try the following custom JSP, it works fine in my environment.
Construction is a s I said before: while in edit mode (add or modify) it appears as Select Box, otherwise gives the value only.

Require help with Pivot table query in SQL Server 2008

Hi,
I have a query regarding converting columns to rows in SQL Server 2008. Please look at the table below.
I need the output to look something like this :
The columns for the children can be dynamic or fixed ( max of 6 children) based on the Family_ID. For Example: A family can have 1 child or more than 1 child.
Not sure how to go about it. Would appreciate your help :)

Looks like you need dynamic pivot on multiple columns. I have two articles on this topic, start from this one

Help with Moodle on Mac OS X server - PhP issue

I am a server newbie. I am setting up a server on a mac for the primary purpose of running a website for my students to use. I have a hosted site now, but the version of php they offer is not high enough to run moodle. I want to install moodle 2.4 on my mac server (mountain lion) but it needs :PHP 5.3.3, MySQL 5.1.33 or Postgres 8.3. I read that I should not try to update the native php (5.3.13) any thoughts or workarounds? I could install an earlier version of moodle, but it is no longer being supported with updates.

First off, ensure that local DNS services are working. If DNS is not working, then various services offered by OS X Server can be flaky. Launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
It's common for folks to skip DNS setup or to reference ISP DNS services, which usually gets them in trouble, and have a much larger project fixing DNS-level errors.
OS X 10.8.4 should have php 5.3.15 and PostgreSQL 9.2.1, the versions of both appear to exceed the Moodle minimum requirements of 5.3.3 and 8.3, respectively. To verify the php version, use the usual "<?php phpinfo() ?>" script. For PostgreSQL, the brute-force command-line version check is "psql --version" command.
Put another way, I'm not sure why you're considering upgrading components — which can be problematic — if you're already running OS X Server 10.8.4 as implied by the footers of your posting.
Have a backup before starting the installation, as mistakes happen and having a backup of the whole disk means a faster recovery and an easier ability to start anew.

Need help with Tomcat and JSP

Hi
I'm a complete beginner with JSP, I have experience with Java, Dreamweaver and HTML, but I'm having alot difficulty understanding JSP.
I tried doing out some of the tutorial examples but they don't seem to come out right on the browser.
For Example the Code for Date
<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
// This is a scriptlet. Notice that the "date"
// variable we declare here is available in the
// embedded expression later on.
System.out.println( "Evaluating date now" );
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
%>
Hello! The time is now <%= date %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Comes out as
<% // This is a scriptlet. Notice that the "date" // variable we declare here is available in the // embedded expression later on. System.out.println( "Evaluating date now" ); java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date(); %> Hello! The time is now <%= date %>
I know this probably really sounds like a stupid question but what could be the problem?

Those it have to saved on the desktop, or in the Tomcat webapps folder or what?It has to be in a web application under tomcat. The easiest one to get up and running with basic jsp is the webapps/ROOT directory which is where the main index page is.
[url http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/]This one is a good basic guide to installing/getting it running.
Also the tomcat documentation itself is reasonable good. Of specific relevance to you would be [url http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/index.html]Application developers guide which explains the basic layout/structure of a web application.
