How to get the country name from IP address?

Hello All,
I am able get the IP address of the visitors by using
String ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr(); .
I'm also getting the host name by using
InetAddress iaddress = InetAddress.getByName( ipAddress );
String ipaddr = iaddress.getHostName();
But... I'm not able to find the Country's name from which that IP is coming from.
Is there any class in JAVA that will help me find the respective country's name??
Thank u!!!

There is no magic way to tell country from IP address. You can guesstimate the country using a IP-to-country mapping database, with some accuracy.
I use the free version of the GeoIP (google for it) database; it is a file that you download, and they have a Java API or you can roll your own. They also have better quality databases for a fee, and apparently a web service. I prefer a file because it's faster and more reliable to check against a memory data structure than to make a long distance TCP/IP call. The web service isn't magic either; it is just an interface to the same database, and it doesn't give 100% accuracy, nothing will. If you use the file you may want to make it a monthly to-do item to download the latest version. There are other similar databases around too; google for "geolocation".

How can I get the host name from Email address?

hi
When I using socket to develope an email-sending servlet,I don't know how to get the host name from emial address.can you help me,thanks

Stripping off the user name will give you the domain of from field in the message. This is not the same as the host. Take a look at:
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers/headers.html
Theres a pretty good discussion about email headers and how to use the information. You probably want to check the information here against the RFC.

How to get the Country Name details always in Eng while using the SForms

Hi Group,
I have a requirement as under:
the Smartform has to display the COUNTRY NAME - always and it should be printed in ENGLISH only.
The Smartform is having a Alternative option(for printing the Address) and for YES part(for certain countries) - the fm "ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM" is being used and for the NO(for the rest of the countries) part an ADDRESS TEMPLATE is being used....
The issues are:
- the fm 'ADDRESS.......FORM" is printing the COUNTRY Name for certain cases and for the rest it is not...
- the Address template has no option to do any manipulation on the COUNTRY Name to come
how can have the COUNTRY NAME to appear in both the cases(YES part and NO part) printed in ENGLISH always?
I tried for a USEREXIT "EXIT_SAPLSADR_900" but still not able to tweak it and get the COUNTRY NAME always in ENGLISH.
Kindly provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Vishnu.

How to get the Users Name from the SSL certificate?

Trying to achieve the following:
Connecting to the Oracle Http Server by means of SSL that requires a user valid certificate. Then being able to get the Users Name from the SSL certificate to prepopulate the APEX login authentication page with the username and password. Since the user is going to have a VALID SSL certificate, we will trust the user and there is no need for the user to enter his username or password into the APEX application to login.
Does SSO do this or something else?

Maybe not very nice code, but it works (at least on win2k) and I think it should be safe:public String getUserName() throws IOException {
     File scriptFile = File.createTempFile("script", ".js");
     FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(scriptFile);
     fw.write ("WScript.Echo(WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Network').UserName)");
     fw.flush();
     fw.close();
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("CSCRIPT.EXE \"" + scriptFile + "\" //Nologo").getInputStream()));
     String uName = br.readLine();
     br.close();
     scriptFile.delete();
     if (scriptFile.exists()) scriptFile.deleteOnExit();
     return uName;
}

How to get the domain name from the System

I need to get the domain name from the system in JDK 1.1.8
Any Ideas?

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() will get you the name of the computer the code is executed on. If that isn't the "domain name" then perhaps you could give more detail about what "domain" you are trying to find the name of.

How to get the user name from Single Sign On Process?

Post Author: sasikumar
CA Forum: Authentication
I am loging in Single Sign On Page. Then it goes to one JSP which lists out some links including InfoView link. While clicking InfoView link, I need to pass user name with the url for authentication. How and where can I get the user name?

Care to be more specific what you mean with single sign-on? There are numerous ways this can be done.
Just how you get the authenticated o/s user from within an Oracle session, depends on just how the actual authentication to Oracle was done in order to create that Oracle session.
E.g. dealing in Oracle with a LDAP server is very different than dealing with a NT Primary/Secondary Domain Controller using o/s authentication, than dealing with a Java-based application server that does it own thing, etc.

How to get the Full Name from NT realm

I need to get the full name of the logged user not just the username. I get
the username defined in NT by request.getRemoteUser(). I need to get the
full name defined in NT server.
Thanks
madhu

Hi Madhu,
There are no apis to do this with WebLogic.
What I recommend is to do some JNI with Java
Create some custom class which retrieves the nt username and then makes calls to
microsoft libraries to return the full name.
I have no idea what these calls to microsoft libraries will actually be --
you'll probably have to do some research to see how to retrieve full usernames
from NT -- what libraries you need to use, etc.
Good luck.

How to get the transaction name from the Webdynpro portal in SRM 7.0

Would you please let me know the procedure to get the current transaction name from the SRM 7.0 portal.
Is there any similar procedure like in ITS to get the transaction Name/Template Name in "View Source" of the portal. Our primary requirement is to find the root cause(by debugging) from SAP GUI.
Your pointers on this will be very much useful & worth the points.

How to get the PSComputer name from Get-DnsServerForwarder

running this command gives me a blank "pscomputername"
get-dnsserver -cn dc1 | select *
How to inject the computer name "dc1" into my output string?
Also, why does running this command yield nothing:
get-dnsserverforwarder -cn (gc $list) | select ipaddress
yet this does?
gsv -cn (gc $list) | select machinename
Thanks.

Hi,
running this command gives me a blank "pscomputername"
get-dnsserver -cn dc1 | select *
How to inject the computer name "dc1" into my output string?
$computerName = 'DC1'
Get-DnsServer -ComputerName $computerName |
Select *,@{N='ComputerName';E={$computerName}}
EDIT: That's a calculated property:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730948.aspx
EDIT2: Just to nitpick - you don't have an 'output string', you have an output object. Remember, PowerShell is all about objects.
Also, why does running this command yield nothing:
get-dnsserverforwarder -cn (gc $list) | select ipaddress
yet this does?
gsv -cn (gc $list) | select machinename
You may need to add -ExpandProperty to Select-Object, but I can't test that.
