JAAS, JGSS Kerberos  and windows 2000 newbie question

Hi
I have setup a Kerberos server on windows 2000, now i want to write code in java to authenticate and authorize user using Kerberos , I know I have to use JAAS, JGSS,
is there a how to document to setup a client machine, like setup krb4.ini file and other security files so i can use java to authorize and authenticate, i am using j2sdk1.4.2
I have following code
GSSManager manager = GSSManager.getInstance();
               Oid krb5Mechanism = new Oid("1.2.840.113554.1.2.2");
               Oid krb5PrincipalNameType = new Oid("1.2.840.113554.1.2.2.1");
               // Identify who the client wishes to be
               GSSName userName = manager.createName("test02EIM", GSSName.NT_USER_NAME);
               // Identify the name of the server. This uses a Kerberos specific
               // name format.
               GSSName serverName = manager.createName("krbsvr400/[email protected]",
                                                                 krb5PrincipalNameType);
          System.out.println("server name " +serverName.getStringNameType());
               // Acquire credentials for the user
               GSSCredential userCreds = manager.createCredential(userName,
                                                                 GSSCredential.DEFAULT_LIFETIME,
                                                                 krb5Mechanism,
                                                                 GSSCredential.INITIATE_ONLY);
               // Instantiate and initialize a security context that will be
               // established with the server
               GSSContext context = manager.createContext(serverName,
                                                                      krb5Mechanism,
                                                                      userCreds,
                                                                      GSSContext.DEFAULT_LIFETIME);
and krb5.ini file looks like below
[libdefaults]
default_realm = GL1AMR.PFIZER1.TEST
default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc
default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc
forwardable = true

  • Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000

    Everyone that has the Windows 2000 operating system has problems with the Acrobat 3D models. The models were created using Windows XP and were tested using Windows XP. I am assuming that Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000 are incompatible. Adobe states Windows 2000 compatibility. Does anyone know why users with Windows 2000 are having problems with my models?
    Thanks

    Yes, I have checked the version and they have Reader 7.0.8. I also checked that they have the latest version of DirectX. Of course there are a number of remote Windows2000 users, so I haven't the ability to check the service pack installations, graphics drivers, and so on. Many of these users are schedule to be upgraded to new laptops (with Windows XP installed).
    I also have the most recent version of Acrobat 3D and have installed all the updates.
    It seems the problems are different among different users, but everyone seems to have some type of problem when using Acrobat 3D and Win2000.

  • Can i setup a secure reverse proxy using sun one web proxy server and windows 2000?

    I've tried this on IPlanet Proxy 3.6 and, after reading the documentation, realized that SSL is not supported on the Windows platform. So I'm asking if it is supported using Sun One Web Proxy Server

    Hi,
    Yes, What you say is right.
    "The NT and Windows 2000 versions of iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 do not support SSL".
    Sun One Web Proxy Server is as same as iPlanet webproxy server.
    May be in future relase of proxy server SSL will be supported in Win2000.

  • Problems with JFileChooser and Windows 2000 (can't see mydocuments contents

    Hi! I've an applet which has a JFileChooser component. In other Windows, I can select the MyDocuments folder and it goes there and list all the contents OK. But, in Windows 2000, when I go to MyDocuments, none of the contents is listed in the file chooser. I need to navigate through all the directories to get there (C:\documents and settings\user\my documents) and then, it shows its contents, but obviously, I don't want it to be this way because is difficult for the common user.
    Any idea of why is going on this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, You need to use something like o=isp as the
    root DN, then o=yourorg.com goes beneath it.
    i.e.
    For the other questions on setup, just choose o=isp
    as base DN when you set up the directory server. When
    you run ims_dssetup.pl, choose o=internet as the DC
    tree base, then choose o=isp as the user/groups base
    suffix.
    When you are installing messaging server it will ask
    where to put the default organization, this is where
    you would choose o=abc.com, o=isp
    For more info on how this structure works please take
    a look at this link and it will all fit into place:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6017-10/changes.htm#170
    8Alright, I got ims_dssetup to run successfully. But now when the ims 5.2 installation is about 50% done, I get the message:
    A serious problem occurred while installing the iPlanet Messaging Server Messaging SIE entry in LDAP (msg.cfgldap.sie.inf). It reported the following problem:

  • Best wireless security for mixed Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows 2000

    While I am posting, I may as well ask this question too.
    It seems that WPA/WPA2 are only supported by Windows XP or later.
    But I also think I read somewhere that there are different flavours of WEP for Macs and Windows.
    For a home network based on AE, what is the best form of wireless security to handle 2 Macs (iMac and MacBook Pro), a Windows XP and a Windows 2000 notebook (all running wireless G).
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion Michael - unfortunately software changes to the Win2k machine are not an option for me - it has been completely locked down by my corporate IT dept.
    So I think I am stuck with WEP. From scouring the Apple tech discussion posts it looks like a five letter ASCII or thirteen letter ASCII password in WEP are my only options, but I am not sure which of these is most appropriate for all 4 machines.

  • ACS and Windows 2000 user database communication port

    Could my Windows 2000 SP4 + ACS v3.23 can install any new Windows 2000 service pack ?
    I'm affraid to infect ACS Service.
    So, I want to install firewall on this server to block malicious traffic.
    However, my ACS used external user database Windows 2000 for authentication.
    Who can tell me What protocols or port list they are communication?
    I have to avoid these traffic on my firewall.

    Hi cheng
    I think you can install any servie pack without problem and the SP4 is the latest one for WIN2000 and you server already has this SP
    For your second question you need to specify many protocols according to your active directory config in this link you can find a list of this protocols and the best way is to make debug or logging or use a siniffer to know the exactly protocols flow between your ACS and AD server

  • GSSAPI JNDI and Windows 2000

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use JNDI to access ActiveDirectory on Windows 2000. I am currently successful when providing a username and password using simple authentication, but I want to be able to use the Windows account information that the program is running under.
    I've tried to do this by creating a login conf file (using the NTLoginModule) and creating a LoginContext, logging in (I can then view the Principals associated with the Subject).
    try
    LoginContext lc = new LoginContext (this.getClass ().getName (), null);
    lc.login ();
    Subject.doAs (lc.getSubject (), new SimpleAction ());
    lc.logout ();
    catch (LoginException e)
    System.err.println (e.getMessage ());
    public class SimpleAction implements java.security.PrivilegedAction
    public java.lang.Object run ()
    Hashtable h = new Hashtable ();
    h.put (Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
    h.put (Context.PROVIDER_URL, "OU=foo,DC=b,DC=a,DC=r");
    h.put (Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "GSSAPI");
    DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext (env);
    do something interesting
    ctx.close ();
    Then using JNDI in a Subject.doAs call I set the Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION to "GSSAPI". This throws the following error:
    GSSAPI
    Error connecting to 'OU=foo,DC=b,DC=a,DC=r' on '<server>'. Please ensure that the LDAP Server is running and that the configuration parameters are correct.
    I followed (I thought) the examples based on http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/security/src/GssExample.java
    and it works fine if I use "simple" authentication.
    Any ideas as to why AD throws it back?
    Regards

    I hope that this helps. Now I am on to seeing about
    GSSYes, how did you go with the GSS? I cannot get it to work.

  • Web Intelligence 5.5 and Windows 2000 SP4

    Ok, stupid question time.
    I have one Windows 2000 server running SP3. I am in the process of updating this to SP4 and would like to know if there are any issues/things to look out for. This server is running web intelligence 5.5
    I do have another similar server running BO 5.1.8 so any feedback that would be useful and appreciated.
    I will post this question elsewhere on these forums to covere both aspects, so please excuse the duplication
    Regards

    Give it a shot. I have used older versions on 2000 with no problems.
    However; I strongly recommend upgrading. There are a great number of reasons for upgrading, and you would be silly not to. It only costs $395 to upgrade.

    I have my AirPort Express set up for my iMac and it runs fine. We have a house guest who has a laptop running Windows 2000 SP2. Can I set up Airport so that both computers can access internet wirelessly?

    Just did a quick check of the Unofficial Averatec Support Forum. Several posters there upgraded the driver for the wireless card to support WPA on the 5110.
    They used drivers from other computer manufacturers and indicated that Averatec has not provided updated drivers.
    They were running XP SP2.
    Many Averatec models have weak wifi cards. Mine included. Sorry I am unable to be of more help.
    Good luck

  • Group Policy and Windows 8.1 questions

    I have a few group policy questions. Thanks in advance for taking a look.
    I’ve downloaded the Win 8.1/Server 2012 ADMX files. They look to  be the same file names as the Win 7 ADMX files. Can I copy them into the  PolicyDefinitions folder and still be able create GPOs for either win 7 or Win  8?
    If we use a windows 8.1 client with the GPO mmc to create the GPOs (instead of putting the ADMX files on the servers), will the GPO built from the win 8.1 client apply correctly even though its coming down from a DC that doesn’t have those ADMX files?
    Does it make a difference if the win 8.1 client we use to create/edit the GPOs is x64 or x86?
    We recently needed to add in an admx file for Lync 2013. I put the lync.admx file in the PolicyDefinitions folder on one DC. If we build the GPO from that server, when it replicates out to all the other DCs, does it matter that they don’t have that particular
    ADMX file for lync?
    How do we organize and structure our ADMX files wherever they end up so that we know which sets are for which operating system? Should we be thinking about deleting the Win 7 ADMX files when the point comes in the future that we are using only Windows 8
    and Windows 9?
    We are at AD functional level 2003. Do we need to go up in level for any of this to work?

    Yes. Simply overwrite and you'll be fine.

    Yes. GPO processing doesn't need ADMX, only GPO editing needs them.

    No.

    If you have a central store for your ADMX, it will automatically
    replicate through all DCs. If not, "2." applies anyway.

    If you use a central store, update it as required. If not, do nothing
    and use a client with the OS version you want to target.

    AD level doesn't matter in any aspect. Schema version matters (Bitlocker
    and Wireless, eg...), but you can update the Schema easily to 2012 and
    have your DCs still run Server 2003.

  • Oracle 8.1.7 for Unix and Windows 2000 Active Directory

    Is it possible to integrate the users and passwords of an Oracle Database running on Solaris with the users and passwords defined in a Windows 2000 Active Directory? What are the requirements and the necesary steps?
    I've read the documentation and it shows how to do it if you install Oracle in a Windows 2000 Server, but it does not mention about installing it in any kind of Unix.

    You should consider to base your firm security and central user repository on REALLY SECURE and ROBUST product technology. Not on Windows 2000 Active Directory. Win2K AD is known to be slow and insecure. If you have Oracle on Solaris your data is secure and next step is to move user accounts to real user repository. It may be one of well-known LDAP servers. Try to read some materials on CERT Coordination Center (http://www.cert.org) which describe LDAP servers. After this you can choose the server which best suite your needs.

  • Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

    HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
    I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I  try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

    Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
    Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

  • Compatibility of windows xp with labview and windows 2000 with labview

    I have a very weird situation that I am not sure even I can decribe it clearly. The thing is we have two set of equipments. One: windows 2000 with DAQ card, PCI card, the other is windows xp with same DAQ card and PCI card. All the labview software are the same version. All the program are the same. But the program on windows xp has a really weird problem. Sometimes, the signal is wiped out when I run the program and sometimes it doesn't. I am curious whether the two windows system have different order sequency. Is it clear? I am really sorry about the description since the problem is really strange. Thank you very much!

    With more research, I think I probably find the problem but I don't know how to fix it. Here is how the program work. In Calibrate LC.vi, there are four buttons of "set". When you hit set button, the program will aquire 10 data points which will form the signal we need. But the problem is when I hit set button, no signal at all.So I am thinking the program didn't aquire any data in. I uploaded the Calibrate LC vi and also the Aquire Data vi. Does anyone can give a suggestion how on to fix the problem? Also, I double checked the PCI card. The interrupt request for PCI 6036E in windows2000 computer is 19, that in windows xp computer is 21. Will this be a problem too? Thanks!
