How to setup a vpn server

Can I setup my Time Capule 2TB as a VPN server so I can connect to my network from a remote (out-of-state) location or is there another way?

There is no vpn server in the TC so no you cannot use it that way.
If you want to use vpn .. buy a vpn endpoint modem or modem router or router depending on your broadband. Bridge the TC so it is simply a part of the network and all routing functions are handled by the vpn router.
If the TC is directly facing the internet.. ie you get the public IP on the wan interface.. you can connect by checking the remote access and using a decent password. Security is no where near as good as vpn but for occasional connection is probably OK. You can only use AFP protocol. So this must be done from a Mac computer. Just do a google search.. lots of sites.. lots of threads.
If the TC is not getting public IP then you can port forward AFP to the TC.. that is the only protocol still.. SMB is blocked by all ISP as too dangerous as half the computers in the world would be exposed.
There is a final issue.. you need either a static public ip or dynamic dns service. The TC does not have a dyndns client.. mobileme used to provide that service but is being discontinued. Cloud is now the way.. if you need a dyndns service read how to set this up..

You need a personal domain for this to work.. note also the experimental aspect to it.
IMHO vpn with a vpn router is the way to go. All vpn routers have some dyndns client services.

It depends on the operating system you are using. If you are using *nix then sendmail needs to be configured.

How to setup a Proxy Server for SSL

Hello,
We have a proxy server that uses the same port for http and https. How can I setup a proxy server in OSB (10gR3) for my business services to use with same port for both http and https?
Thanks,
Mike.

Hi Mike,
The problem is OSB doesn't seem to let me set the same port for both http and https on a proxy.Can you please let us know the exact problem you are facing? I hope you would have referred below links as well -

You may set the proxy server at JVM level as well (workaround).

How to setup Mobile Access Server

Hi,
I am trying to setup Mobile Access Server on my Mac Mini Server. The setup I have is a small network behind a Airport Extreme. I would like to give all users access to services using Mobile Access Server and was hoping initial setup was going to take care of that....no such luck.
What do I fill in for the local servers? How do I access this service from the outside the lan? How do I need to configure my Airport (with the other services, it happened almost automatically from the security pane).
Thanks,
Ian

Hi,
In the field for local server you just type in the local dns name for your calendar server, mail server etc... Also select which port you want publish externally and the the correct port your service is actually using on your lan (Selected under advanced tab). Make sure your mobile access server can resolv your hostnames correctly. It should point to an local ip. If an nslookup shows your public ip, you have to correct your local dns server (This is often called split dns configuration.)
To access this from outside your LAN you have setup NAT and permit the port you have configure your mobile access server to be the incomming port. How exactly you do that on the airport I am not sure, but I am sure it is explained in the user manual for the airport.
I found this video about the mobile access server on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRgl2bncZU
Hope this helps.

How to setup a Jabber server?

Hi,
I want to setup a Jabber server on my Archlinux machine for a couple of friends of mine to use for some personal group communication. What package can I install for such a server? I'm hoping it's easy to setup, so that's a bonus. Thanks in advance.

ejabberd is rather nice for a begginer admin/operator. I can't say anything about the quality of the provided package in [community]. Ejabberd is also distributed as a one-click-install binary which you can (with all contents) install somewhere like /opt or /usr/local/opt, and there is also a video available on process-one site which shows you how to install and setup ejabberd in under 5 minutes with it (which should tell you something about "ease of use"). For everything from installation to configuration and operating read the Ejabberd operation guide: http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/guide_en

How to setup an Oracle server on a network

I've set up an Oracle Database server on my company network, i have an application/web server that connects to this database server.
I've configured Net8 and the service names and such, however i still cannot connect to my oracle server. The error message is "Service Name not resolved".
How can the oracle database server be setup in a Local area network for an application server to connect to it?

On the web server, check your tnsnames.ora file. Is the database correctly defined here?
Also, search this forum for "could not resolve service name". It is the most common problem.

How to setup a Proxy server

Hi all,
I have an airpot extreme router and I want to setup a proxy server to navigate Internet. I don't see any possible setup in the menus. Is it possible to do it?
Thank you

There are a number of different types of proxy servers. The AirPort, like most Internet routers, perform as a very basic tunneling proxy or gateway by providing NAT services.
What are you trying to use a proxy server for? Are you planning on setting up a dedicated proxy server device or use a router for some proxy functions like monitoring or scanning traffic inbound/outbound of your network?

How to setup WebLogic Admin Server and Managed Server

Hi,
I working to setup a Weblogic admin and managed server but fail.
May i know the correct steps to setup the system ?
Tx.

TX. I will proceed to upload more logs here later.
Anyway I notice that after i follow the guide to setup the admin and managed server, I only able to access the web apps on admin server. I can not access web apps for managed server.
I setup the admin server using port 7001 and managed server using port 7003 based on oracle guide.
I found weird here. when I browse to http://adminserver:7001/apps, it works. But when i browse to http://managedserver:7003/apps it does not work.
But funny thing is when i browse to http://adminserver:7003/apps, it works.
I confuse that which configuration I have done is incorrect and have this result???
besides that I notice that in the nodemanager setting...the listening address is set to localhost and it works. If i configure it to IP address, it will give me errors.

Can you setup both VPN server and Back to My Mac on Lion Server?

I have been trying to figure out if this is possible for some time. Can you use both Back to My Mac and VPN server services at once on a OS X Server?
So far here is what I have found:
- According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629 Back to My Mac and VPN use the same UDP ports(500,4500)
- I have been able to get my VPN service working by removing all access for Back to My Mac(in System Preferences->iCloud) as well as removing all "Mobile Me" access on our AirPort Extreme.
The moment I try to add an account to access the network via Mobile Me(ie Back to My Mac) on the Airport Extreme, I am no longer able to make a VPN connection.
Checking the Service VPN Logs, no log entry is shown for the failed connection.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anyone been able to get these two working on the same server/network?
2. Is there any way to change the default ports used by the VPN server service on Lion Server?
Thank you to anyone that can provide any suggestions.

Just as FYI....I just started using iCloud and tried the "back to my mac" on a mac server that is my VPN server.
Enabling "back to my Mac" prevents the VPN from being useable.
Disable "back to my mac" and the VPN works again, as verified from both another MAC and an iPhone.

How to setup an iTunes server

i'm wanting to setup an itunes server. iwant this mac to stay in a closet and be the main mac to suplly itunes content to 3 AppleTV2, Laptop (win), 3 mac desktops iPod, 2 iPhones and future iPad( i hope). looking to do something on the cheap. say a MDD G4 or a used mac mini? I would like to have alot of storage. I will be loading all my movie on this server.
Any help would be great. I have no idea where to start.
Thanks
edmondson30120

I've got the same problem and questions. I've been leaning towards buying a used/refurbished Mac Mini, throwing on a 2 or 3 TB drive (preferably Thunderbold, but FireWire 800 would be sufficient) and then just have it sit in my wiring closet witha 1Gbps Ethernet connection to my home router.
The problem is the cost...Going the Mac Mini route to simply get an iTunes media server seems pricey. There have been rumors in the past of this sort of functionality showing-up on either an Airport Extreme or a Time Capsule Apple box, but that never seems to happen...
I have 1 AppleTV1 and 2 AppleTV2's and for the storage reason, I actually like my old AppleTV1 better than the newer version, simply because I can have 160GBs of movies/media always available. I like the added functionality in the AppleTV2's, but without a cheap iTunes server, I actually think Apple's move to the AppleTV2 was a setback, rather than a move forward.

How to setup WRTSL54GS VPN?

I'm fairly network literate but I need a walk through for setting up a VPN on WRTSL54GS router and how to confirm settings are working.
I talked with Support (in the Phillipines)and advised me to set my DSL modem to bridge mode, done that and Internet connectivity is OK. But the documentation on configuring the VPN is very weak. For testing I am dropping the wireless on this router and connecting to a neighbors open wireless router and unable to connect to the VPN I setup. My router does have the latest version of the firmware.
I plan on using the VPN to connect to the network storage connected to the router when offsite.
Thank you for your help.
Dave K.

That was the point of buying this router. I really don't want to leave my workstation on 24/7 but, prefer to have a low cost storage online dedicated to the purpose.
Is there a home based router with firewall, wireless, wired capability, with attached storage accessable from both inside and outside securely that does not do pass-through VPN but instead can act as a termination for the VPN?
I have configured the FTP server and have connected that way but that leaves the password and username transmitted in clear text. Any sniffer could pick up on that. I want to make this a secure connection even better if I could restrict the MAC address to my laptop only connecting.
I'm open to ideas. What have others done low cost?
What if I purchased low cost network storage with its own IP and placed it inside my home network, of course it would have a NAT'd non public IP. I suspect since the router is pass through VPN the storage would have to have VPN capability?
And I think I read something in the forum that if the VPN is setup only the VPN is allowed through and I would not be able to surf the net? Not quite sure of the details how this works. Might be another road block to using this router.
Thanks in advance.
