IPlanet 4.1 SP9 - WL 6.1 SP2 - client certs

Hi,
We seem to have a problem with client certificates that are provided to our iPlanet
Webserver 4.1 SP9. Using WL 6.1 SP1, we used to following code to get the cert:
.. = request.getAttribute("javax.net.ssl.peer_certificates")
For some reason the exact same code will not work in SP2. We used the Jakarta SOAP
Tunnelgui to see how the request was formatted, and we saw this:
POST /login/logincertificaat.jsp HTTP/1.1
accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel,

Since everything worked in SP1, we are confused and hope someone can shine a light
on this issue.
Thanx in advance.

P.S Sorry for the cross-posting of this issue (also in security) but I thought it
is more appropriate to post it here.

BEA provided the solution:
In the web.xml file, add the following node:
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.clientCertProxy</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
This property is introduced in SP2 to patch security hole.

  • Iplanet 4.1 SP9 suports web.xml for using taglib ?

    I try to make taglib work.

  • IPlanet 4.0 SP9 & SingleThreadModel

    Hi:
    We are developping a web server using iPlanet 4.0 SP9
    and servlets. The server will server several users at
    same time, for this reason, we are using the interface
    SingleThreadModel, in order to avoid problems related to
    the use of threads and multiple users.
    But, this seems not to work properly. When two users are connected to our server, the second one must wait for
    the first one. In other words, if the first user executes
    an option that take a lot of time to be completed and
    meantime the second user tries to use the web server, he
    will wait until the first user's task was finished. The
    web server looks like to be locked.
    We are thinking about the iPlanet is misconfigured.
    Any idea, remark, tip, etc.?
    Thanks in advance.
    Alberto

    My advice - don't use SingleThreadModel. They shouldn't have provided this in the first place and here's why
    3.2 Number of Instances
    In the case of a servlet that implements the SingleThreadModel interface, the servlet container
    may instantiate multiple instances of that servlet so that it can handle a heavy request load while
    still serializing requests to a single instance.
    3.2.1 Note about SingleThreadModel
    The use of the SingleThreadModel interface guarantees that one thread at a time will execute
    through a given servlet instance�s service method. It is important to note that this guarantee only
    applies to servlet instance. Objects that can be accessible to more than one servlet instance at a
    time, such as instances of HttpSession, may be available to multiple servlets, including those
    that implement SingleThreadModel, at any particular time.
    Here's a simple example: if you use a text file for storing/retrieving data and the server decides to instantiate another instance of your single threaded servlet - guess what's gonna happen?
    Always use the normal multi-threaded servlets and develop them properly for multiple thread use.

  • JDBC persistence of session data not working on iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2

    I am using windows 2000.
    iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2
    I tried to do jdbc persistence for sessiondata.
    Somehow it didn't work.
    I edited the JdbcStore code and added some system.outs in it.
    From the logs I could note that
    It is going into
    JdbcStore.init(Properties config)//when the server starts up
    JdbcStore.reap(long currentTime) //when the server is brought down
    But it is not going into
    JdbcStore.save(IWSHttpSession session)
    JdbcStore.remove(IWSHttpSession session)
    JdbcStore.load(IWSHttpSession session)
    I did a "select count(*) from sessions" and it got me
    no of rows=0.
    The logs contained
    [06/Mar/2002:11:25:09] info ( 552): IWSSessionManager: Maximum number of sessions is 1000
    [06/Mar/2002:11:25:10] info ( 552): IWSSessionManager: Maximum number of sessions is 1000
    [06/Mar/2002:11:25:14] info ( 552): JdbcStore: initialized with url=jdbc:odbc:LocalServer, driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
    So I should think it was working.
    The pages that are using HttpSession are working ok but should I not get some rows in my table "sessions" when I query?
    This is the webapps.xml I used.

    I'm trying to do the same thing with a file store, also somewhat unsuccessfully. However, one thing I can point out is that the manual says that the <session-manager> element should be within the <web-app> element in web-apps.xml. In your example, it is outside of it.

  • Configure Client-cert with ACL in iPlanet

    I need to configure iPlanet with "client-cert" configuration.
    - It works with this setting (in the console) : [Preference] --> [Encryption Preferences] --> "Require client certificates (regardless of access control):" set to "Yes".
    - I have a problem with this setting because all the instance is affected and clients without a certificate can not use other applications under this instance (they receive an "Acces Denied page").
    - It seems I can specify this setting to a specific URL via an ACL but it does not work.
    - Could you confirm I can do that ? If yes, could you precise the configuration of the ACL ?
    I am using iPlanet 4.1 under Solaris 2.8. For information I am using a websphere 4 server with iPlanet. My J2EE application is CLIENT-CERT; that's why I need this setting.
    Thanks !

    Hi Roman,
    I'm afraid it's the expected behavior. You cannot use an ACL with object-groups inside a class-map.

  • XP workstation services fail after 4.90 SP2 client imports

    Testing for a migration from ZFD 3.2 to ZDM 6.5 on the workstation with the new Novell
    Client 4.90 SP2.
    Our core XP SP1 ghost image (not OEM) restores to a Compaq D530 without issue and has
    Novell Client 4.83 SP2 with the ZFD 3.2 SP2 components (WM, RM and NAL NT services)
    installed on it. Allow sysprep and the post-driver and services to run and install.
    Reboot.
    Login to eDirectory and install Novell Client 4.90 SP2 with NetIdentity 1.2.2 and ZFD 3.2
    SP3 components (WM and RM, ZFD server is still ZFD 3.2 SP2). Reboot. Workstation is
    quick and stable, logs in fine with 4.90 SP2.
    Reboot again. Workstation initially appears to come up quickly then right around the time
    NWGINA pops up services start to drag/fail and it'll take several minutes to get to the
    point to actually enter my username and password. The enhanced GINA in SP2 detects
    networking has failed and checks Workstation Only automatically. Eventually get in
    Workstation Only. While the Explorer shell is responsive and appears stable, most
    services have failed or are hung in the process of starting.
    Stripping a box in this state of the most of its apps will bring it back close to its
    original speed, but you're left with networking and in particular the TCP/IP Protocol
    Driver "corrupt". As repair is not an option, I'm not aware of a way to remove and/or
    reinstall TCP/IP.
    I've tried Option^Explicit Software's WinSock XP Fix with no success.
    Breaking down our ACU install of 4.90 SP2 into parts and testing points back to the
    reinstall of Workstation Manager as the initiator.
    Back-revving wm.exe, wmcchlpr.dll and wmpm.dll in the 4.90 SP2 install to the 4.83 SP2
    (ZFD 3.2 SP2) level does not resolve.
    I have a feeling that is has something to do with after the WM components registering with
    the workstation and certain policies associating and coming down. But only three are
    available at "Scheduler Service Startup". NAL Workstation Association Agent, NT Client
    Configuration and Windows Group Policy. The Group policy is quite small and doesn't
    affect system-level stuff.
    Haven't yet tried toggling them off and see what affect disabling them has.
    Aside from opening a service request, any idea or anywhere else I should be looking or
    testing?
    Ironically, I have the 4.90 SP2 client working without issue in this setup using HP's OEM
    image for the D530.

    A combination of recreating the ZENworks Group Policies using a Windows 2000 box for
    reasons described in the previous posted TID and restoring wmgrppol.dll back to the build
    shipped in 4.90 SP2 (3/4/2004) prevents the issue from reocurring.
    I originally back-revved wmgrppol.dll to a test build (8/7/2002) Novell sent me prior to
    4.83 SP2 to work around an issue where local policies are being removed after restarting a
    workstation...
    Local Group Policies are removed after updating to client updates in ZfD32SP1Client.exe
    http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10079392.htm
    Looks like I can't have my Group Policies and ZENworks working too. That is until I move
    to 6.5. I hope.

  • What are the differences between iPlanet web servers, enterprise edition 4.1 sp2 and version 6.0

     

    Hi,
    The following are the features of iPlanet Web Server 6.0 which is enhanced from iPlanet Web Server 4.1 release.
    You can implement sticky sessions by prefixing the name of the server host that generated the session to the JSESSIONID (the Servlets 2.2 API standard session cookie name). This enables the front-end load balancer to do sticky load balancing, such as forwarding future requests to the same host that generated the session.
    Keep-alive handling now thousands of keep-alive connections can be maintained.
    Added support for digest authentication as defined in RFC 2617. Digest authentication is used in conjunction with the iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 as an access authentication method that avoids passing the user name and password over the network in an unencrypted form.
    Command Line Administration Tools.
    Improved User Interface:-iPlanet Web Server 6.0 provides an improved user interface with the following features:
    Magnus Editor ,Class Manager ,.htaccess Configuration

  • App-v 5.0 SP2 Client UI Virtual Application not launching

    Hi there, 
    Currently we're upgrading to APP-V 5.0 SP2 (HF5). I downloaded the official APP-V Client UI from the Microsoft site. The Hotfix and App-V 5.0 SP2 installed succesfully, I even got Office 2013 to work with the new App-V Client. 
    The problem I have is that the APP-V Client UI is published to a user and when I launch the application the Process is started, I can see that in the taskmanager but there doesn't appear a user interface. It only worked once for me. 
    I've tried this on a few different machines, also removed user profile (local and network), but still the appvclientux process is starting but no UI is showing. 
    Does anyone have an idea how to fix this "bug". 
    Thanks! 

    Yes we have the latest roll-out of silverlight installed (locally). 
    I can't find the pre-req for Silverlight though: 
    Supported Operating System

    Microsoft APP-V Client 5.0 SP2 (and later):
    Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 (x86, x64)

  • App-V 5 SP2 client attempting to find/create file in the package store (outside of the PVAD)

    Hi all,
    Hopefully I'm not missing something screamingly obvious here but I've been at this for a while and can't work out how to get around it.
    I've got an app that I've sequenced (App-V 5 SP2) and can run from the sequencer with no issues but when I publish and run it on my client test box, I get a series of errors pointing to there being missing files. Fairly common scenario so I turn on procmon
    and see what it's trying to do/find and see that it's looking for a file directly under C:\ProgramData\App-V\PackGUID\VersionGUID and failing because the file it's looking for isn't there (nor should it be) and is present where it should be; under the C:\ProgramData\App-V\PackGUID\VersionGUID\Root\
    (which is the install directory).
    If I modify the permissions on the "VersionGUID" directory and add the file to this location then the executable finds the file but fails because it's expecting to find the rest of the applications files from the installation directory in the same
    location.
    I've tried packaging to VFS, packaging and installing to PVAD with the same results. The only way that I could get it to launch was by setting the directories under the VFS to Merge with the local files system, deleting all files in the package under the
    install directory and copying the same file structure onto the test machine (This isn't really a solution though as we're talking about over 500mb of files).
    What tricks do you guys use when you come across these sorts of problems? Hopefully this all makes sense!
    Thanks
    DT

    Deetts,
    I plan on spending more time to see if I can get any better information, but a few interesting points so far.
    The software seems to install a driver. 
    It is odd I only got the driver warning when I sequenced a second time and actually launched the software while in capture, but I have seen that before.
    Also, the software ACLs the program files\client dir with some pretty interesting (stupid) permissions.  It actually
    REMOVES inheritance, and adds everyone full.
    While this isn't a problem per se as under HF4 we can enable full VFS writes, it leads me to believe the software may be doing a lot of other bad practices, and it wouldn't surprise me if it assumed its own directory had full write rights to, and bombs if
    it doesn't.  Depending on how it determines its own dir may or may not be an issue.  You will never have write access to the program data app-v dir, but you will under the VFS program files\client dir.
    At any rate, I am going to spend a little more time with it, but just seeing what I have so far means it may not be the best candidate for App-V...but, don't ever let that deter you!  We have completed many packages that were not ideal candidates with
    great success.

  • WSUS SP2 Client Systems are not detecting Updates,

    I have a WSUS SP2 (with WSUS-KB2720211-x64) running on Windows 2008 R2. The WSUS site is running on custom site port 8530.
    All the clients are reporting without any issues. However the approved patches are not getting detected on the clients. 
    From the client I can get cab file by accessing http://WSUSServerName:8530/iuident.cab 
    Network connectivity OR firewall issue is ruled out. Also the client system are updating the update agent to
    7.6 from WSUS. I am sure the approved patches are needed on the client PC's, the WSUS report for a particular approved patch too says that the approved patch is needed.
    Please find the following WIndowsUpdate log from the client PC and please advise.

    KB2720211 has been superceded by KB 2828185, I'd recommend installing that first, it resolves a lot of issues with the first update.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/wsus/archive/2013/04/16/update-solution-for-wsus-export-bug-is-now-available-for-wsus-3-x-sp2.aspx

    It would be worth checking if those updates you think should be installed haven't already been superceded by others. It's possible newer updates have been installed, so the superceded updates could actually be declined.

  • Update from Exchange 2013 Cu2 to SP1 - Outlook 2010 with SP2 clients disconnected

    Hi,
    we recently upgraded a standalone Exchange 2013 Server to SP1. Owa works fine, but all internal Outlook 2010 Clients (with SP2) get disconnected. Creating a new Profile, and testing the internal autodiscovery leeds to an Error 12030 (Connection reset) during
    the discovery process.
    I already checked the Service Point, the discovery URLs, even recreated the autodiscover virtual Directory in iis. But nothing changed.
    The self signed certificate, that was used before the update is further used, and well known to all Clients. As I tested, OWA is working well everywhere.
    Anyone some new ideas?
    Best regards
    Bernhard

    Hi,
    How did you recreate outlook profile? Manually or Automatic?
    If automatic failed, please try to recreate manually and check the result.
    If manual failed, please refer to the following methods to troubleshoot the issue:
    1>Try to open the following link and check the result:
     https://CASName/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    2>Try to use RCA to test outlook autodiscover and check the result.

  • BusinessObjects 4.1 Sp2 Client Tool setup Installer will not Start

    Hi Everyone
    Have installed BOE 4.1 sp2 server platform on a virtual machine running on Windows Server 2008 R2.  When I  tried to install the Client tools,   I execute the setup.exe program, it launches the run, when I click on  runs, nothing comes up.
    Any suggestion I will really appreciate it.
    Thanks 

    OK.  I think I may have misled you.  We tried installing BI4.0 on SQL Server 2012 and that didn't work (not supported according to the Supported Platforms documentation).  I just looked at the Supported Platforms document for BI4.1 and it shows the Client Tools should be supported on Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.
    I'll try installing them and let you know.  We would like to have them on the server also.

Maybe you are looking for
