Is RADIUS and other external auth unsecure?

I just finished setting up RADIUS on our database. As best as I can tell, the client is the one doing the authentication...I'm guessing this because if I have my SID setup for the RADIUS controlled database (with user identified externally) with the sqlnet.ora that has the radius settings, then I can connect.
If I try to connect from another machine that has the TNSNAMES.ORA entry for the database, but a standard sqlnet.ora (ie. no radius entries) it tells me invalid login.
To me, this says that it is not the database doing the actual RADIUS calls and authentication, but instead the client, which would then make it easy for someone to setup their own radius server with their own sqlnet.ora that would let them "authenticate" for a particular user against their own controlled passwords and trick the database server.
If this is not the case, then how come I can not just do, from anywhere with the proper tnsnames.ora, sqlplus userid/password@TNSNAME??? Should the server not also read sqlnet.ora at startup and then itself use BEQ or RADIUS for authentication methods?
Thanks for any pointers...sorry if it seems a little run on, but it's late and I'm tired.

server is doing the authentication. client setup is needed because somebody needs to hint to server the connection is supposed to use radius.

Why does Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine and other external hard drives?

Why does my Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine to "Time Machine I" and then back again periodically. Last night it was one name, this morning it is another. It also does it on other external hard drives - usually by adding a I after the name. It is frustrating for me because I store a large runtime folder on an external hard drive and end up losing a lot of time with my computer not being able to find files because of the renaming.
And even though it still looks like Time Machine under "Get info: - when I open a folder window or Disk Utility it has a new name, and there is no way to change it. I've seen other questions that mention Macs renaming themselves, so it seems like a similar issue. I did try deleting the preferences plist file, but that did not work.
Is this a glitch with this particular model or operating system?
Specs: Macbook Pro A1297 - 2009 model.
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB ram
Many thanks for any advice.

strange, my external HDs were added to the exception list automatically. maybe because they wouldn't fit on the time machine volume.
It seems to depend on when the drives were connected. When you first turn Time Machine on, it only excludes the TM drive itself, and any drives not formatted HFS+.
If you connect a drive later on, that drive will be excluded automatically.

WLC with ISE as radius and also external web server

Hi friends,
I am biulding a wireless network with 5508 WLC and trying to use ISE as radius server and also to redirect the web-login to it.
I was trying to understand that to achieve the external web-login, do i need to use the raduius-nac option under advanced on the guest wireless where i am trying this out. and if not, where do i actually use it?
So far what i have understood that i do need to have preauth ACL on the Layer 3 security, but the issue is there is no hit reaching the ISE.
any suggestions would be higly appreciated guys!
Regards,
Mohit

Hi mohit,
Please make sure the below steps for guest auth thru ISE,
1)Add the WLC in your ISE as netork devices.
2)In Guest SSID you need to choose the pre authentication acl.That acl should allow the below traffic
    a. any to ISE
    b.ISE to any
    c.any to dns server
    d.dns to any
3)The external redirect url will be
https://ip address:8443/guestportal/Login.action
4)AAA server for that SSId would be your ISE ip with port number 1812.
5)In advanced tab please choose the AAA override. No need of radius nac.
6)Create appropriate authorization profile in ISE for guest.Example is below ,

In Mavericks it won't paste to USB and other external Storages. USB Locked

In Mavericks it won't accept copy/paste
I have a HDD capacity of 998.7GB with Available 899.64GB
It says used 99,052,994,560 bytes. My USB drive is 16GB freshly formatted and work with all other computers with copy/paste.
In Mavericks I can copy/paste to a mapped drive on my NAS if I first right click and go to ‘Get-Info’ on the NAS icon and in the General area’s Tick the ‘unlock’ box.
If I right click on the USB and go to ‘Get-Info’, in the General area I only get a Share Folder Tick box and not an Unlock Tick box. Share does not allow paste to activate
I can copy/paste on the iMac's Hard Hrive to any folder with no restictions. If I try to copy/paste to an outside source i.e. USB – DVDRW – external HDD or NAS, it does not give the PASTE option in the drop down menu. If I drag and drop a file, I get a circle with the line through it when placed in the folder and does not copy/paste. I think that’s an error or stop signal.
How do I permanently Unlock Mavericks’ paste?
Thank you

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
It does not use SD cards.
Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

"Volume not found" I have 3 iphoto_libraries stored in a external disk, while the actual files are in other external disk. Ive moved together iphotolibraries and files but: HOW CAN I TELL THE LIBRARIES WHERE TO FIND THEM NOW?

I have three iphoto_libraries stored in a external disk PASSPORT (one for each trip imovie Im making -Ive managed this way the libraries so to not confuse the trips) while the actual files are in OTHER external disk LACIE. And everything was fine: imovie find each library, could work with it, or iphoto could edit the files.
But one day everything crashed at the same time: i opened iphoto to find 3 different scenarios:
1) iphoto_library GREECE was there, but not the albums i prepared. no events. when double click in any of them: "Volume not found"
2) iphoto_library ITALY was there, and the albums i prepared too, but empty.
in both cases I can only see the photos in 'photos' because 'events' shows some events with photo preview and some with no preview, just some kind of preset clipart palm tree, but if i enter the event, photos are there but again: when double click in any item: "Volume not found"
3) iphoto_library ISRAEL was there, the albums too, when double click in any of them: all OK
The 3 libraries was managed the same way. Meaning: Ive imported photos to iphoto from external disk LACIE in a iphotolibrary stored in another external disk PASSPORT. Also: I don't have unchecked the option "copy to file" or something like that. photos where moved, not copied. Also i have all the movie_libraries in the PASSPORT as well. What happened??
Solution? Nothing yet. Ive moved now all the photo folders from LACIE together in PASSPORT with the iphotolibraries but problem persist:
HOW CAN I TELL THE LIBRARIES WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE VOLUMES NOW?
"Volumes" are the original files aren't them?
Please help. this is so annoying to try and find in the forum, to tricky to explain
I have a Macbook pro retina Yosemite 10.10.1 / iphoto 9.6 (910-29)/ iMovie 10.0.6
THANK YOU
Vicky

The 3 libraries was managed the same way. Meaning: Ive imported photos to iphoto from external disk LACIE in a iphotolibrary stored in another external disk PASSPORT.
This is not clear, especially when you say
I don't have unchecked the option "copy to file" or something like that. photos where moved, not copied.
Especially as the message you're getting is typical of a library where the ' option "copy to file" or something like that' is unchecked.
So it's a simple question:
Are you these Managed or Referenced Libraries?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

HT201250 I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

Does anyone know how I can copy photo and video files from the Photo's app on my Macbook, to a USB stick or other external back-up?

I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?

The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export" and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location? Ideas?

Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location? Ideas?

Hello there, Underwriter.
The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Particularly of note for your situation:
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library

Accessing Time Capsule and linked external hard drive from other devices and copying to these drives

Hi
Please be gentle. I am not that technically able :-)
I have managed to set up my time capsule. Router working, external hard drive linked, time machine back ups working...
The last thing I am looking to do is to access files on my time capsule and also external hard drive (linked to it), from Mac, Iphones, Ipads, Apple TV, Windows laptops X2. Am I able to do that? Have read so many discussions but dont get the answer. Please be gentle :-)
Regards
Tommy

The last thing I am looking to do is to access files on my time capsule and also external hard drive (linked to it), from Mac
This should be automatic.. find the TC disk under shared in finder.. double click it and see under the data folder.. you can create new folders in there.
Note using the TC for data and TM backups is not the greatest of ideas.. please read pondini.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
The external drive is fine though..
Now it can have loads of issues if you run Mavericks.. so if you have trouble.. do not be surprised.. if you run Mavericks.. be surprised if it works without trouble.
Iphones, Ipads
iOS devices are not file based.. they are not intended to be used with a file device like TC and will neither backup to it nor open files from it.. of course what apple wants and what users want are different things so there are plenty of file apps to help you read and write files.
Filebrowser is the major one.
http://www.stratospherix.com/products/filebrowser/
You still cannot backup though.. iOS uses itunes to backup or icloud.
Apple TV
There is nothing you can do with AppleTV.. it is not a file device at all.. it is not even a media player.. it is a streamer. (Early model Gen1 and Gen2 can be jailbreak.. so they do actually have media player ability) Gen3 is tied to its mother's (iTunes) skirts with steel cables.. no JB.. no use really. If you want to play movies from a TC buy a WD Live TV.. it is a player.. !!
Windows laptops X2
You can access the TC from windows..
1. Make sure the TC naming complies with windows networking.. to put that simply.. all names should be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Apple wizard will recommend a name for the TC, like
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.. this is wrong on so many levels.
It will be a total pain on windows.. use FBATC or TC or anything you like.. as long as it follows the rules..
Short 2-20 characters.. less than 10 is better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
All names must comply.. TC name and wireless name/s
2. Load the airport utility for windows into the computer.. you can download for up to win7.. apple haven't bothered with windows since then and are pretty out of date. The win7 utility will load on win8 with the usual voodoo and astrological help.
3. Windows must be set to home for location.. if you cannot open a command window and ping the TC by ip and name, then pull down the firewalls.
4. In windows explorer type into the address bar directly.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (using, of course, the real name or real IP).

HT1751 when one copies their itunes library to an external device, does the iPad apps and other files get copied also?

When copying iTunes files to an external device, do the Apps and other files for an iPad get copied also?

If the instructions are followed and the ENTIRE iTunes folder is copied, then all the contents of the folder (including apps) will be copied.

Time Capsule best to dedicate for backup and usb external for other data or partition TC for dual

I have lots of video and photo and have 2TB drive on my iMAC and want to use TC for backup.
1) Since alot of video and photo, can plug in via ethernet or "cable/usb" vs. wireless to back up my main iMAC? Otherwise very slow via wireless and perhaps better to get Seagate Go Flex or WD and go Firewire right?
2) I do need and like to share other data shared vs. just TC to Time Machine Backup, reading this community input, can I confirm that best practice is to let TC have as much dedicated space as possible for Backup and mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC?
Here's my use case:
1) Time Machine tied to TC for the 2TB via wired to main machine iMAC - I only have this 1 iMAC.
2) Like to share data with iPhone and iPAD some pictures, etc... so do this with USB port and see data on the shared drive via iPhone and iPAD - no need to backup - just viewing - but need wireless - how does iPhone and iPAD detect this device - do I need app or something to view shared drive stuff?
3) Like to share and light backup for couple PC Win7 laptops just to get files back and forth or share things between family member - nothing intense - but can PC win7 laptops see the shared drive via IP setup or something like that?
Sorry for multi questions - my first iMAC so still stumbling around to see what works best for me.
Thanks,
///don

If I understand your question, depending on the signal strength, backing up over Wi-Fi can be rather slow. An Ethernet connection would be much faster, particularly for the first backup, which will the the largest. Backing up to a locally-connected disk will be faster still.
2) I do need and like to share other data shared vs. just TC to Time Machine Backup, reading this community input, can I confirm that best practice is to let TC have as much dedicated space as possible for Backup and mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC?
I'm not sure what you mean by "mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC". It's not recommended to share the same volume for Time Machine output and other things.
need wireless - how does iPhone and iPAD detect this device - do I need app or something to view shared drive stuff?
If you mean that you need wireless to give an iPhone or iPad access to the Internet, a Time Capsule would do that. If you want to give those devices access to content on a Time Capsule, that's still an immature technology, although things may improve with iOS 5 or updates beyond that.
3) Like to share and light backup for couple PC Win7 laptops just to get files back and forth or share things between family member - nothing intense - but can PC win7 laptops see the shared drive via IP setup or something like that?
A WIn7 computer will be able to see files on the drive(s) of a Time Capsule. I haven't tried that, but instructions are available.

Radius and Billing

Dear NetPros,
I have configured the Radius & Billing Servers on my Cisco AS5350 which is terminating VoIP Traffic as given below. The First two are Mind Billing Primary and Secondary Billing Servers. The Third one is a billing server from another vendor. I want to send CDR information to all the three billing servers simultaneously. Currently the gateway is only sending the Radius and Billing information to the first available server. Is there any way for the gateway to send radius and billing information to all these three servers simultaneously???? Would appreciate any help or suggestion in this area. Thanx

The AAA "Broadcast Accounting" feature allows accounting information to be sent to multiple AAA servers at the same time; that is, accounting information can be broadcast to one or more AAA servers simultaneously. This feature allows broadcasting among "groups of servers". And each server group can define its backup servers for fail over independently of other groups.
However, the restriction is that Accounting information can be sent simultaneously to a maximum of four AAA servers.
For the scenario mentioned, in order to send billing info to all the 3 servers simultaneously, the aaa accounting command can be configured globally, as in:
aaa accounting network default start-stop broadcast group mind1 group mind2 group mind3
The individual servers in the server group 'mind' may be split across different server groups.
aaa group server radius mind1
server AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
aaa group server radius mind2
server EEE.FFF.GGG.HHH auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
aaa group server radius mind3
server III.JJJ.KKK.LLL auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
(Backup servers within each server-group may be defined)
Simultaneously accounting records are sent to the first server in each group. If the first server is unavailable, fail over occurs using the backup servers defined within that group.

[Question!!] How to satisfied security status after External Auth. ??

Situation :
I want to do Post Issuance functions on card , the card has personalized , and card
status is been set to 'Secured'.
Card Status :
The Card is in secured status when has perso. from card manufacturer.
First : External auth.
External auth. is OK and response no error.
(APDU 's P1 set to '0x03')
Second: Try to delete existd applet(ex:VSDC applet) from card.
According to the Card Spec. , APDUs after secured channel has opened must
add MAC and encipher , so use first step 's C-MAC value as initial value to caculate
new MAC and do encipher , then send command to IC Card , it return SW in '0x6982'
Questions :
Why it return 'Security level not satisfied' after pass the card ext. auth. ?
Do I get error in caculate MAC or do Encipher the command ?
If really got the error in my MAC or cipher step , IC Card check it and return '6982' ,
is it correct ?
