How should I add an automated procedure to my server

Hi,
I have Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 running on a eMac.
I wondered how could I add and automated procedure to my server, I explain.
I have a dyn IP provider (no-ip.com) who accepts IP updates via http GET request with a URL like this : http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/dns?username=[email protected]&
password=mytestpassword&hostname=mytest.testdomain.com
Is there a way to get this line executed every 5 minutes with the server ?
Sorry for my bad english but regards to those who are able to answer
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Server

I succeded with the curl method
applaus ;o)
Now I'm working with crontab and I try to understand it
The system crontab is /etc/crontab. Edit it with the command line editor of your choice. If you happen to do not know one, the simpelst one imo is pico.
Try it out with pico testfile.
For the crontab syntax see my first post. You have to add a line like:
0 0 * * * philippe curl "http://..../"
This would start curl once a day at midnight.
Thanks for the help very useful
Points, points, points.... ;o)

How to install Oracle Policy Automation in Oracle Application Server?

We are planning to use OPA with Oracle Ebusiness Suite Release 12.1. We are running Oracle Application Server 11g. We want to deploy the Oracle Policy Automation components in same application server as Oracle Ebusiness Suite.
(a) How to install Oracle Determinations Engine, Oracle Web Determinations and Oracle Determinations Server on Oracle Application Server? The installation document for OPA doesnt have steps for Oracle Application Server.
(b) Which one is better, to deploy OPA in separate server or in same server as Oracle Ebusiness Suite?
(c) How to decide whether to use Java API's using Determination Engine or web services using Determination Server or UI of Web Determinations for our project? Or what factors should we consider?
Thanks for the help.
-- Sreeram.H

(a) You should install the war files for Oracle Determination Server and Oracle Web Determinations as per normal war deployment - there's no special steps required, which is why it is not listed explicitly. There's no reason to deploy Oracle Determinations Engine itself to a web application server.
(b) "Better" tends to be more a subjective viewpoint, but if you already deploy all your web services on the same server as Oracle E-Business Suite then you should go the same for OPA. Same story for separate server deployment.
(c) Can't answer that without knowing why you are using OPA! If you are looking to integrate with Oracle E-Business Suite then Oracle Determinations Server would be the sensible choice. Web Determinations is most useful if you want a sensible way to collect or review the relevant assessment data for determinations, as well as for "self service" scenarios. Determinations Engine should be used if you have a completely bespoke integration scenario that can't make use of web services or web applications - but I can't think of a scenario where this would make sense if you are using Oracle E-Business Suite.
Of course, these are just my views - others may feel more strongly one way or the other!

How do I add an objectclass to existing LDAP server entry using an ldif file?

I am trying to fix an LDAP server that has been operating with schema check off. I need to add an objectclass to the groups so that some attributes that have been added to the groups will be "legal." From the documentation, the changetype: modify will allow the changing/adding of attributes that are already a part of the schema objects that define the entry. It does not look like I can add an objectclass with the modify operation.
If this is the case, then how do I add an objectclass to an existing entry? Using the GUI is not possible since the directory server in question is not being managed with an admin server. Please tell me that I do not have to delete the groups and import them again with an LDIF file that has the new objectclass added.

Where in my server.xml should i put

I don't think you should have to edit the server.xml
at all. your app can have its own context.xml that
obviates the need for editing server.xml
%I did try that in many permutations. For some reason, the server.xml worked for me in 5.5 but not the context.xml. (Granted, it was late on Friday and I might have missed a step). :^)

How should I add a new physical network interface to the system?

Hello:
I am about to test my own NIC driver.
I have used add_drv to add my driver.
I have assigned an IP address to the sytem in the /etc/hosts file and corresponding network mask in the /etc/netmasks file, too.
But when I tried to ping this IP address, it reported an error message saying"ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway localhost .....".
I wonder if the system knows this physical network address.
Does this have something to do with the /etc/hostname.* file?
If this is the case, what should I name the "*" part of this file?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Steven

Hello Shridhar:
Thanks for your kindly reply.
I just noticed that the system would try to plumb the interface during the booting process but failed with a error saying "ifconfig:plumb:XXXX:Bad file number", where XXXX is the * part of /etc/hostname.*
Does not mean I have assigned a illegal interface name to this interface?
It seems that man page doesn't contain any information about error messages.
I use the form XXX0, where XXX is the name of the NIC driver.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Steven
You should plumb the interface and bring it up with
the ifconfig command. Do a man on ifconfig for more
details. What was the add_drv command used ? Based on
your driver's name, you can setup the hostname.*
file's name to automatically setup and initialize the
NIC inetrface everytime the system boots up.

How Can I Add mod_ssl to Built In Apache Server?

Hi,
I would like to add mod_ssl as a DSO module to the Apache web server that comes with Solaris 9. However I have been unable to find any decent instructions on how to do so. Any help would be appreciated. I have included below a post I have made to a newsgroup which summarises what I have tried so far.
---Newsgroup Post---
I have been following the instructions for adding mod_ssl to the integrated httpd server in Solaris that was posted here last year (a copy is included below). I am attempting to install mod_ssl onto a Solaris 9 system and I am using the relevant version of mod_ssl. It is my preferance to do it this way, retaining the included version of httpd, rather than to install the web server from another source.
Anyway, after following the instructions below I have attepted to launch the htppd server and receive the following error message:
Syntax error on line 252 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/apache/libexec/libssl.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/apache/libexec/libssl.so: symbol __umoddi3: referenced symbol not found
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Can anyone tell me how I might resolve this problem?
Regards,
Bernard Lineham

Well, first of all, why are you using the Sun Freeware apache? Solaris 8
ships with apache as well, and if you're up-to-date with your patches,
you will have 1.3.26 and Sun will take care of backporting any security
issues.
Here is my procedure for adding SSL support to the Sun Apache:
1. Make sure you have the the SUNWapchr and SUNWapchu packages installed.
2. Make sure you have the latest Apache patch from Sun installed. For
Solaris 8, that would be patch number 109234 (get the highest revision).
3. You need to have OpenSSl installed.
4. Now unpack the modssl-distribution (you will need the one that goes
with your apache-version, in this case 2.8.9)
5. ./configure with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs with-ssl=SYSTEM
6. You should patch line 23 of pkg.sslmod/Makefile to read:
SSL_LDFLAGS=-L$(SSL_LIBDIR) -R$(SSL_LIBDIR)
This ensures that your modssl will be able to find openssl later on.
7. make
You could now take the file pkg.sslmod/libssl.so and dump it in
/usr/apache/libexec, then add the appropriate statements to your
httpd.conf. But for extra bonus points, we're going to make a package
instead.
Create a file called 'prototype' in the mod-ssl directory, with these
contents:
f none /usr/apache/libexec/libssl.so=pkg.sslmod/libssl.so 755 root other
i ./pkginfo
Create a file called 'pkginfo' in the mod-ssl directory with these contents:
PKG=Apmodssl
NAME=Apache modssl
ARCH=sparc
VERSION=2.8.9
CATEGORY=system
VENDOR=none
[email protected]
CLASSES=none
(you might want to change the 'email' setting
Now run 'pkgmk -o' and you will find your new package in /var/spool/pkg.
To install (only now do we need root permissions):
pkgadd Apmodssl
If you were to install mod-ssl the 'regular' way (recompiling all of
apache etc) it would modify the httpd.conf for you, quite extensively.
This procedure (on purpose) does not modify the httpd.conf at all.
Some of the changes you will need to activate your modssl are:
Add a 'LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so'
If your httpd.conf has a ClearModule statement, and then a bunch of
AddModule statements, do as the Romans do and add:
'Addmodule mod_ssl.c'
Add to the type-specifications:
'AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt'
'AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl'
'Listen 80 443'
And a -lot- of SSL specific statments that is a bit much to reproduce
here. Mail me if you get this far. Or run a diff between a pristine
httpd.conf and one mangled by modssl.
Now this all works because Sun explicitly compiled their Apache to work
this way. If you want to know all the flags they used, install the Sun
package SUNWapchS (and reinstall the Apache patch so your sources are up
to date, too). Then look in /usr/src/apache/README.sfw which tells how
they compiled their apache. The procedure above might just as well work
for the SunFreeware version, -if- they compiled with EAPI and
--enable-shared.<br />
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards, Paul Boven.

The version of Apache that comes default with Solaris might not be compiled for that I am not positive though. I downloaded and compiled Apach 2 and compiled mod_ssl and got it working with no problems you might want to try that.

How should I partition 10 gig HD for Mail Server???

I plan on making a mail server but I am not sure what partitions to use. I have a 10 gig HD, and I dont want to partition it wrong then have no idea how to go back and redo the partitions without reinstalling. I was thinking something like:
/ = 2gig
swap = 512mb
/opt = 3gig
/export/home = 4 gig
Any idea what steps I should take first to creating a mail server? I still can't find the pop and imap server packages.

For POP3, I suggest qpopper from Eudora. www.eudora.com/qpopper.
It virtually installed itself and seems to work fine right from the start. Now if I could only figure out how to get Sendmail to work with SMTP. All my Internet mail gets refused by Sendmail, incoming and outgoing.

Well, I've taken a look at your screenshot and it seems you're mixing up the places where the configuration has to be done.
The stuff you added is taken into account only if you start your server with the NodeManager (which is probably not the case since there some information missing).
Then your conf has to be done in the start script.
Or, you can leave your scripts untouched and play with keystores. It's not hard but you better have to know what you're doing if you don't want to mess with your server.
I wrote an article which gives the basis on keystores : http://m-button.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-configure-weblogic-to-use-ssl.html
Take a look at it as well.
Last solution, which could be a good one if you're in development, you may turn off the security check that seems to get on your nerves.
To do so, go on each server, and disable the hostname verifier :
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/security/DisableHostNameVerification.html
Tell me if you need more help.
(I may be a lil slow to answer since I'm pretty busy these days ... but I'll do my best)

How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
Thanks,

How to secure connection in sql server 2008? my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc

i'm recently working on hardening of sql server 2008. now i face with a problem. my problem is how to secure connection in sql server 2008? my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc? what are these certificates about?and guide
me in choosing the appropriate certificate.
and how should i know that the connection in sql server is secured?
plz guide me from the beginning cause i'm rookie in this subject.
thanks in advance.

Hi sqlfan,
Question 1: my problem is how to secure connection in sql server 2008?
Microsoft SQL Server can use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt data that is transmitted across a network between an instance of SQL Server and a client application. For more information about Encrypting Connections to SQL Server, please refer to the following
article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx
Question 2: my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc? what are these certificates about?and guide me in choosing the appropriate certificate.
To install a certificate in the Windows certificate store of the server computer, you will need to purchase/provision a certificate from a certificate authority first. So please go to a certificate authority to choose the appropriate certificate.
For SQL Server to load a SSL certificate, the certificate must meet the following conditions:
The certificate must be in either the local computer certificate store or the current user certificate store.
The current system time must be after the Valid from property of the certificate and before the Valid to property of the certificate.
The certificate must be meant for server authentication. This requires the Enhanced Key Usage property of the certificate to specify Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1).
The certificate must be created by using the KeySpec option of AT_KEYEXCHANGE. Usually, the certificate's key usage property (KEY_USAGE) will also include key encipherment (CERT_KEY_ENCIPHERMENT_KEY_USAGE).
The Subject property of the certificate must indicate that the common name (CN) is the same as the host name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server computer. If SQL Server is running on a failover cluster, the common name must match the host
name or FQDN of the virtual server and the certificates must be provisioned on all nodes in the failover cluster.
Question 3: how should i know that the connection in sql server is secured?
If the certificate is configured to be used, and the value of the ForceEncryption option is set to Yes, all data transmitted across a network between SQL Server and the client application will be encrypted using the certificate. For more detail about this,
please refer to Configuring SSL for SQL Server in the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Donghui Li

How do I add -Xlint option to the EJB compilation process?

Hello,
I have a 4 server node clustered environment. I am running WebLogic
Server 9 MP 2 on Windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP 2. I am
running Sun JDK 1.5 update 11. When the EJBs are compiled Isee the
following message in the server logs (for every EJB):

does support that option. My servers are using the default javac
compiler. I have not figured out how I can add the -Xlint option to the

I love being able to have a group contact list on my device.
You can go to Contacts>Click on the icon right below the contacts with 2 people>Select the green plus sign in the upper right hand corner>Create a group name and then go thru the contact list to add up to 20 contacts for the group.
This will help you get the group contacts added again.

Add root user to access all server services?

Hi,
How do I add root user in snow leopard server to access all its services. I have a admin account from which i can access all services but looking for root user to access all server services.
When ever I'm trying to ssh using root it gives an error.
Please find the error output below.
arth:~ gulab$ ssh [email protected]
Password:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive).
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

The root account is, and should be, disabled. There is no need to log in as root.
If you require root-level privileges for any task, use sudo once you've logged in using your admin account. If you need a root shell, then:
sudo -s
is your friend.
There used to be a way to enable the root account under earlier OS versions. There may still be a way to do it in 10.6 but I've never bothered looking since it's not needed.
