IRC and proxy setup

I'm running my MacBook behind a proxy at work. I would like to get to a few open-source software support channels on IRC, and the darn proxy is frustrating.
Is there a semi-painless way of doing this? I've tried a few things, including some GUI clients with "proxy" settings, and Irssi's proxy module, but I couldn't get any of them to connect successfully.
Thanks for your help.

No; I haven't yet been able to connect to a server, let alone a channel. I can't figure out how to get/tunnel IRC traffic through an HTTP proxy.

Fink and proxy setup

I've installed Fink and I'm trying to get it working through a proxy.
I found these instructions:
http://finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php
But trying to get and set up the cvs-proxy package according to that failed to download the binary package (it also failed to connect using the method given in the local installation files, which tell you to download the .info and .patch files to the finkinfo directory).
After I manually downloaded the Debian binary to the /sw/fink/debs/ directory and re-ran fink configure to instruct it to use that directory for packages, it seemed to work.
However, after all that, and running fink selfupdate-cvs, it still stalled:
Downloading the indexes of available packages in the binary distribution.
/sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait update
Err http://bindist.finkmirrors.net 10.4/release/main Packages
Could not connect to bindist.finkmirrors.net:80 (213.84.134.230). - connect (60 Operation timed out)
Help?!

Sounds like you have a bad mirror or something.
Try selfupdate-rsync, and then if you need cvs, switch back and do it again. This often unclogs the bottleneck for me.

What is the proxy setup and the port

What is the proxy setup and the port

Could you give a little more detail on your question please.
If you looking to setup a proxy server and port so your printer can connect the printer to HP ePrint, you will often find this setting in the embedded webserver of a printer. Open up a web browser, and type http://<address of your printer> where the address of your printer is an IP address or hostname (such as http://192.168.2.2). From the EWS, there will be a configuration section for HP ePrint, and you should find options for setting the proxy host and port in this area.

Safari and Proxy

I am working on my Mac at home and in my office. In office there is proxy for Internet access. I set system proxy to automatic config - all works perfectly except Safari.
When I open Safari at home with no proxy and go to office without restart Safari cannot contact outsite world. The solution is to close it with cmd-Q and open again.
Is there any way to make Safari to reread proxy setup?
In the same time firefox using system proxy works ok.

Safari will only run under a manual proxy configuration.
There is some useful information here:

Scroll down to 'Configuring Safari for OS X'.

Subversion JDev plugin and proxy

Hi,
Is it possible to configure the JDev subversion plugin to work via a proxy?
The subversion server is listening using HTTP on the Internet but there are no proxy options under subversion in JDev. Is there a file somewhere that I can add a proxy config manually?
Tortoise SVN client does have a proxy setup.
Using JDev 10.1.3.3 and SVNKit 1.1.1
Brenden

Brenden,
The way I was able to use a proxy - install the SVN client, then set up the JDev plugin to use the native client. Then, you can configure the proxy via the normal mechanism for SVN.
Hope this helps,
John

ASA: Smart Tunnel and proxy problem

Hello
I are having problem that some of my external users that has a proxy setup on theres end can't use the smart tunnel.
They get proxy warning when they click on a bookmark.
If I skipp using Smart tunnel the user can't start the citrix app, get corrupted ica file.
Is it a common problem if so is there a soultion ?
KR
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
"Smart tunnel supports only proxies placed between computers running Microsoft Windows and the security appliance. Smart tunnel uses the Internet Explorer configuration (that is, the one intended for system-wide use in Windows). If the remote computer requires a proxy server to reach the ASA,
the URL of the terminating end of the connection must be in the list of URLs excluded from proxy services
. If the proxy configuration specifies that traffic destined for the ASA goes through a proxy, all smart tunnel traffic goes through the proxy."
You can get more information from following link:-

Reverse proxy setup problems

I am trying to setup a reverse proxy using iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6. I have followed the instructions in the manual which seems pretty straight forward but nothing is happening. I am getting no traffic at all between any of the boxes involved. I have been using apache before without any problems but wanted to move to something more scaleable as I would like to have multiple reverse proxys. Can anyone give any suggestions as to what might be wrong. Thanks.

Have you tried thius technote ===>
http://knowledgebase.iplanet.com/ikb/kb/articles/1173.html
The reverse proxy setup requires regular mappings and reverse mappings. Regular mappings re-map the requested URL to the actual origin
server. The reverse mappings re-map Location: headers coming back in 3xx redirections.
In some cases, customers have sent technical support obj.conf files with the mapping entries in the wrong order. All of the
"reverse-map" functions should be placed before the "map" functions.
There maybe two causes:
1.Hand editing of the obj.conf files
Use the admin interface to create reverse proxy map entires.
2.Old versions of Admin Server
There may have been problems with creating reverse proxy maps in Proxy 2.x, which used Admin Server 2.x. This problem doee not
occur with Admin 3.5.
Example:
NameTrans fn="reverse-map" from="http://www.news.com"
to="http://kwikimart.mcom.com:8080/news"
NameTrans fn="map" from="http://kwikimart.mcom.com:8080/news"
to="http://www.news.com"
NameTrans fn="map" from="/news" to="http://www.news.com"
Note the "reverse-map" function appears before the "map" functions.

Reverse Proxy Setup

I have a 10.5 server running as a webserver with a single static IP address. I have a second machine running FileMaker Server that is also a webserver. I have two different domain names ( example.com and fmexample.com) that both point to the same static IP.
I would like all traffic coming to example.com to pull data from the 10.5 Webserver and I would like all traffic coming to fmexample.com to pull data from the FileMaker Server.
In researching this it seems like adding fmexample.com to the Sites list in 10.5 server and then adding a reverse proxy to the FileMaker server should accomplish what I am trying to do. However, even with the reverse proxy setup both domain names still pull data from the 10.5 server.
On the 10.5 server in the Sites Menu these are my settings for the fmexample.com site.
General Tab
Domain Name: fmexample.com
IP Address: 10.0.1.10 (IP address of the 10.5 server)
Proxy Tab
Enable Reverse Proxy "Checked"
Proxy Path: /
Balancer Members:
Worker URL: http://10.0.1.100:80/ (IP address of the FileMaker Server)
Route: "Blank"
Load Factor: 100
Any help would be appreciated.

The reverse proxy is in the loop because I have multiple servers sitting behind a single public static IP address. When external calls (users outside of my local network) are made to the public IP for fmexample.com the reverse proxy server sends them to the 10.0.1.100 server on my local network.
This worked fine for standard web serving. The problem came in with FileMaker's IWP engine. It was reading the incoming host header not as the original domain name (fmexample.com) but as the domain name or IP Address that I was assigning in the reverse proxy (ie fmexample.local, or 10.0.1.100)
So when IWP would issue a redirect it would return a URL to the external user specifying an internal address. For example if a specify http://10.0.1.100/ as the URL in the reverse proxy IWP would issue a redirect and return a URL that looked like http://10.0.1.100/fmi/iwp....
That internal address would not work outside of the network.
By adding adding a DNS record internally that routes all fmexample.com traffic to 10.0.1.100, I was able to set the reverse proxy in essence to point to itself but since the reverse proxy looking at my local DNS server it would route back to the local IP address.
Since I could now set the reverse proxy to use fmexample.com as the worker URL, IWP now could see a host header of "fmexample.com" and when it issues a redirect to the external user it shows the proper URL (ie http://fmexample.com/fmi/iwp)
Circumstances Affecting my thought process:
1) I can't just route all incoming traffic to my public IP to 10.0.1.100 because I have a couple of other domains that route to different servers so I still need the reverse proxy to play traffic cop.
2) I also didn't have any idea how to modify IWP to force it to return a specific domain and I couldn't find any clear information on how to modify IWP. I decided to leave IWP working as it was designed and come up with a way to feed it the host header that I wanted.
I admit it does seem a bit convoluted but the important thing is that it works, both internally and externally.

Oracle authetication and proxy authetication

Hello,
I am using 10g, thin driver and using oracle proxy authetication.
We have an 'appuser' which is used to setup the connection pool, and the atual user gets the connection from the pool and uses proxy authetication to do the job.
Currently proxyauthetication do not autheticate oracle user, all it needs is oracle username and NOT user password.
Anybody who knows, appuser, username and passowrd, can logon on to oracle, and proxy over to anyuser (since it needs only username) and perform any operation onbehalf of that user. This is a serious security issue for us.
Is there is clean work around for this situation?
Thanks,
SL

Hello,
I'm Mark Wilcox, the Product Manager for Oracle Virtual Directory.
First- the plug-in is "subschemaentry". That is a typo in the docs which we will fix.
Second - The primary purpose of Enterprise User Security is to centralize the management of database users and roles. To address an earlier question in the thread - "Do I need to map every user in AD to every user in the database" - the answer is "depends". Most applications do not actually use local database accounts - they instead do all actions at the middle-tier (though there are mechanisms such as Proxy Users that can be used to pass the context to the database). So these days primarily the only direct users are normally DBAs and some Business Intellegence reporting applications. Additionally EUS supports the notion of "shared schema" where you can map 1 DB user to multiple LDAP entries, but most organizations use a 1 to 1 mapping. And there are a variety of means to do this. I would recommend Oracle Identity Manager and make this as one of your elements of your enterprise provisioning process. However, you can of course use another 3rd party provisioning system.
You can learn more about what Enterprise User Security here:

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Need help regarding Apache httpd.conf and PHP setup.

Hi,
I am facing problem setting up my PHP and apache setup. I have installed Apache2.2 Root path = C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2
I have also installed PHP in my C:\PHP drive earlier. I moved this PHP folder to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2 just to keep all things at one place.
I have copied php5ts.dll at 4 locations - C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2 \bin , %SYSTEMROOT%\System32, %SYSTEMROOT%\system and %SYSTEMROOT%. I have also added these paths in Environment variable 'PATH'.
In httpd.conf file entries are as follows:
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"
I have added these 3 lines as
LoadModule php5_module php/php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
When restarting apache http server I get message as:
httpd.exe error ...... cannot load C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\php\php5ts.dll into the server. The specified module could not be found.
I have checked that php5ts.dll DLL exist at above path. Please help me out urgently.

Sorry I don't have Windows available to check the paths. With recent versions
of PHP I never copied files out of the php source directory.
Make sure the Oracle 10g Instant Client is in your PATH environment variable.
You could try using the PHP Windows MSI installer.

Why is a sender communication channel not required for IDOC and PROXY ?

Hello,
In case of IDOCs, metadata will be available in PI for the IDOCs used both at inbound and outbound.
Why is a sender communication channel is not required in case of IDOC and PROXY outbound scenarios (i.e. IDOC to File or PROXY to file ..) when a receiver channel is required for scenarios like file to IDOC or file to PROXY.
Though this might be a regular question, I am not able to find a proper reason.
Please let me know the reason for the above request.
Thanks & Regards.

You will create RFC destination in ECC , it will have details about PI system details, when ever you send IDoc, ECC will use Port and RFC destination to connect PI Integratiion engine to deliver data to PI.
But when receiver side you will create RFC destination in PI with ECC details, but to call RFC destination and Port we need medium that was the reason we create IDoc communication channel.
Even the same case for Proxy also, but HTTP deastination establish the conection between ECC and PI, but receiver side you have to create XI channel with PI integratioin engine adress to post data.

Raj

Can I stop Migration assistant and run setup instead?

While running setup on my new iMac, I was prompted to transfer data from my old computer using Migration assistant. I thought I was just transferring the user profiles but it seems to be transferring all the associated documents and downloads. It's taking a long time and I'd rather stop the process and just setup the new computer from scratch. Is this possible? I dont actually want all the crap my kids downloaded over the last few years clogging up my new system ...

If you were transferring files during the initial setup, you were using Setup Assistant. Migration Assistant can be run later; however, it will automatically create a new user account (because you've already set up an account during the setup), so you'll wind up with two accounts and duplicate folders which will take a while to sort.
If you just want to drag over certain files, best to use target disk mode (you need a firewire cable):
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10725
If you want to use that, you can just erase your drive using the recovery option and then download/reinstall your OS again.
