Multiple Failures for new trusted certs with ORA-28857

We are seeing problems with working APIs that use UTL_HTTP over SSL starting to fail with newer trusted certs. Importing these certificates into the wallet just leads to a ORA-28857 and a corrupted wallet. We are using 11.2.0.1.  3 trusted chains have now failed. Examples include the cert chains (hydrant and godaddy certs) from
https://api.betfair.com
https://www.flipkey.com/
I've had a support call open for the last month with no resolution.
If anyone has any potential avenues of workarounds  / solutions might just save me some sleepless nights. Our products functionality is dying because of this problem!

If the certificates are SHA2, they won't work in 11201.. they are fully supported from 11203 up.

  • Deploy Trusted Cert with the deployment  J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0

    I want to deploy J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2.msi using active directory. I have tested my deployment and all is good, now I want to know how to deploy a trusted cert with the the deployment of J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2.msi. I am using active directory for the deployment. I do not know much about Java or cert, but want my users not to have to grant permission to the only cert we have on ouir web page the first time they hit the page.
    Is there a way to pre-answer the Grant always box for the cert we have. I hope I have asked the question correctly. Thank in advance.

    Can someone tell me how to use my own keystore for SSL auth, trust and
    signature trust that WILL work.
    Setting the system property in an applet won't auth and or trust SSL:
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "file:/C:/temp/SSL_applet/client.com");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "storepass");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType","JKS");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "file:/C:/temp/SSL_applet/client.com");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "storepass");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType","JKS");Ends up with a trace telling me cacerts wil be opened, client.com is never used.
    C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\trusted.jssecerts
    Googling for the combination of
    site:sun.com "deployment.system.security.trusted.certs" password
    will give me no results. Searching the entire web won't do much either.
    Anyway, assuming the password is changit will end up with an unpleasent
    surprise after installing a new version jre.
    Because SUN actually changed it in 1.5
    Anything short of the programmer loading a keystore when an applet is run
    will not work.
    This is not good enough, is there a way for administrators to use their own
    keystore and give it a password so a jre update won't screw up everything?

  • Using current dimmensions for new business areas with coarser granularity

    Hi,
    I have a time dimension which has month, quarter, semester and year attributes.
    I am creating a new business area in which each fact refers to a quarter (we have no monthly data). In this case I am considering two options:
    1) Using an attribute in the fact table that points to the quarter field in the dimension table (or creating a quarter code in the dimension table, and pointing to that code -there is already month-year code as primary key-).
    2) Creating a new dimension table with just quarter, semester and year.
    What should be best? Is there another option?
    Thanks for yout help.
    Fernando.

    Hi Sam,
    I am not sure wheher memory is really a serious constraint anymore. Consider this:
    a) the price of memory today is pretty much at the price point of hard disks in the year 2000 (at least according to a study I saw). In 2000 we happily ran business systems without being worried about the cost of hard disks ... and that is where we are today with RAM. Sure, disks also became much cheaper, as did flash memory, but the speed benefits of RAM are so superior that it is worth investing in it.
    b) there are already 1 TB RAM blades available, and I think there is now a 2 TB RAM blade on the market (I heard about Samsung having one, and others may have one too)
    c) we indeed routinely achieve compression factors of 10-20 x. It all depends much on how full the table field is, and how homogeneous the content. A field "Currency" compresses great, a field with a "UUID (Universally Unique Identifier)" does not.
    d) customers typically only want to access this and last year's business data (and keep the rest just for reference)
    So I think that it is quite possible to have the active business data even of the largest SAP customers completely in memory, at a reasonable price point. Sure, more expensive than disk ... but who cares about disk anymore (apart for backup)?
    Kind regards, Oliver

  • Is it safe to update iPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.5.1 or should I just wait for new Photos app with OS X Yosemite ?

    iPhoto has always been slow and less than reliable to use. Have never updated it because of concerns with updates. Will current pics in iPhoto get transferred to new Photos app with OS X Yosemite somehow or will I be stuck using both apps?

    I do experience slowness/unresponsiveness and freezing in iPhoto,
    Two points:
    1. These sound like a damaged Library file and you might try repairing it.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    and from reading numerous posts, I am quite certain that many users have had similar experiences.
    The problem with this is that the folks who don't have any problems never post, so you're working from a skewed sample.

  • Optimal Setup for New Time Capsule with Wireless AC

    I'm curious to see what the hypotehtical optimal setup for my Time Capsule.  I understand that wireless speeds depend on a ton of factors and that part of getting the best connection is just trying different options.  I have a new Time Capsule that's connected to the following devices: iPhone 5S; new MacBook Air with wireless AC; old iMac from 2007; old AirPort Express that only supports b/g and a newish Apple TV that supports wireless N, I believe.  I was connecting to the network (which was not designated with the 5ghz) and I recently chose the option to label the 5ghz.  I'm using that now to stream music with the new iPhone and the Apple TV with no problems, but I have no longer have the option of using the old Airport express because it's an old one.  I'm thinking of just getting a new Airport Express and leaving it at that, but wanted to know if anyone has some thoughts on this.  I'm sure there's a more concise and direct way to ask this question, but my knowledge is pretty limited here.  Thanks in advance.

    The Time Capsule is already set up for optimal performance when you open up the box.
    You can assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network and point devices that are capable to that network. This works well if the device is located close to the Time Capsule.
    But, 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so once you move a room or two away, or the signal has to pass through several walls, the 2.4 GHz will be stronger.....and probably faster as well.
    But...your device will try to stay locked on the 5 GHz network since you set it up that way.
    This type of setup may or may not work best for you.  For most users, it is simpler and more effective to use the default settings on the Time Capsule to have both bands use the same network name.
    Then, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the signal with the best quality. Best quality may not be the fastest signal since there are lot of factors involved with signal quality. But, if you think about it a bit more, don't you want to have your wireless device connect to the signal with the best quality?
    Some users swear by assigning a separate name to the 5 GHz band. I'm not one of them, but If it works well for them and they are happy, then there is no reason to change.
    An older AirPort on your network is going to drag down the speeds. You need the new AirPort Express, or better yet an AirPort Extreme if you want to be able to extend the new 802.11ac signal.

  • HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

    I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
    Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

    Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
    In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
    For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
    Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

  • Multiple Scopes for the same subnet with Cisco CNR

    I have a requeriment from my internal client that he wants to have  multiple scopes within the same /21  subnet , but he wants to have different scopes for each group of servers ( in the /21 subnet).
    We have 2 Cisco CNR ( I dont know the version they are running because they are managed by an external vendor) but they are in active / standby mode.
    My question is .. it is posible to make the CNR have different scopes (ranges of IP's) for the same subnet ( /21) and assign those based on the client ( I dont know what criteria can be followed .. maybe Mac Address ???).
    I appreciate any help or pointing to the right documentation
    Thank you in advanced

    I don't know that you would want a separate PO print. You can print the same PO print twice to provide a copy for the freight vendor. I think it should be okay as long as it is clear that the PO is with the vendor for the products but there is a condition specifying the freight deal. The second vendor (say the freight vendor) should be okay with this PO as well. I don't remember how the standard SAP PO forms handled the vendor condition but it should be enough I would think. I never came across a separate PO for freight since it is usually an value added service that is an integrated part of shipping goods and the paper-work usually is leveraged from PO, bill-of-lading, etc. SAP will make it difficult if you do need a separate PO since there is no way to use account assignment to material and therefore would need to manually account code and invoice verification, post to a clearing account in FI for re-class to material or charge to internal order with settlement to material or something like this.
    I would just make sure that the PO print makes sense in terms of being able to see the freight charge and maybe the vendor name or something (look at the standard SAP PO form to see what the best practice is).

  • Setup Multiple Apples for new switcher

    Hi All,
    I am a new back-to-apple guy. Used Apple almost exclusively up to '99, then went to MS because I had to.
    Anyway, I am a total power user in the Windows world and could do what I am asking with my eyes closed, but am lost in OS X.
    I have a new iMac and 2 Mini's all with Leopard and I want to work them together better. Currently they are all set up individually sharing a network connection. What I want is following, and I am hoping someone could help me out:
    1) Network user logon (I realize this may not be possible without server as in windows world, so not manditory)
    2) More importantly, a common user folder area on one of the computers for all the systems.
    3) Setup an automated backup from the one centrally stored user file computer to one of the other systems.
    Example:
    Mini A and Mini B have all user files stored and mapped (may be a windows only term?) to the iMac.
    iMac backs every user file to Mini A except mine which would be backed up to Mini B (because of my many GarageBand files, and the central account for iTunes) every week/month/whatever (possibly using time machine?).
    Thank you in advance!

    Probably the easiest way is to setup one iPad with apps back it up with iTunes
    And restore to the others
    Since you don't have a mdm solution like osx servers profile manager
    Apple Configurator use it to install as many settings as you can via profiles
    It will speed up the configuration less time spent tapping away on each device
    Here is a free hosted mdm
    http://www.meraki.com/products/systems-manager/
    Find my iPhone use can use the same iTunes account, I think the limit is 200 devices
    If you restore from backup passwords are not restored you'd have to re enter them
    Every iPad needs an indervidual ID not an indervidual iTunes account for find my iPhone
    Eg iPad-1 iPad-2 etc
    Check iCloud settings or you could have all devices reading each others calendar
    Consider enabling restrictions here you can stop users adding email accounts

  • Exchanged ipad for new, same problems with wifi

    no cure for either unit, return for refund the only answer, none of the "tricks" listed work, all I want is a product that works, this ain't it.

    Before you return it, did you try the "lowering Brightness" fix?
    I, too, exchanged my iPad after having wi-fi issues. The second iPad suffered from the same problems. And yes, I did reconfigure my Router's settings according to Apple's suggestions--but that didn't work. So I ran across this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2391395&tstart=30. I tried the solution discussed in that thread, and now my iPad's wifi works normally.
    Hope that helps somewhat.
    (And I disagree that a customer should have to purchase a different router simply because the iPad isn't conducive to mainstream routers. The iPad was advertised as compatible with mainstream wifi routers. We, the consumers, should not bear the burden for its incompatibility. Plus, try going to your local coffeeshop and telling them to get a new router because your iPad isn't compatible with their "low end" router).

  • Multiple UWL for the single user with different Role

    Dear SAP Gurs,
    We have one critical requirement on the Universal worklist, as a functional requirement like some Approvers will play different roles as approver, needs to track saperately the approver inboxes for the same person.
    For Example :
    Approver A - is an Purchase Exicutive(Role)
    Approver B - Is an Purchase Manager(Role)
    Every time Apporver A has to access his approval requests seperately ( Belongs to Approver A) and take action, as well Approver A has to see Approver B's actions items seperatly and take action.
    currently we have 4 levels available and single person has to take action on based on the 4 different Approves(Role)
    Is there any work around for the abobe requirement.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Karri,
    The same requirement i want to tweak in by adding one more column in the UWL by enhancing the BOR.
    i have try with below , can you please suggenst can be done by Virtual attributes.
    Once data is comming in the UWL i will put 3 custome filters
    We need to add a new column in UWL, which is present as a Table SWWORGTASK, in this we have to pass WI_ID and get ORG_OBJ populate it as a column in UWL.
    Please suggent how can we impliment this ? do we needs to create virtual ttribute in the BOR from the same.
    as we have reffered the below link, we are not able to implimant the same. Kindly suggest.

  • Is there no external power option for new MacBook pro with dual core?

    Is there no external power option for a MacBook pro 17 with dual core. Apparently apple doesn't offer one and I can't ind any who does

    Courcoul wrote:
    Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
    The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
    made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
    I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
    What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.

  • My plan for new FCS install with questions

    End-of-fiscal-year budgetary windfall enables a giant leap from a G4 running FCP 4.5 to a spankin' new 8-Core machine for FCS2. (Hello Motion!).
    I'd like to identify any "gotchas" in a new FCS install before I jump into it. Your advice and comments from personal experience are appreciated.
    Here's my plan, based on what I've read here, and a couple of questions:
    1. Update to latest available OS from whatever version is on the machine.
    2. Run installer from disks - repair permissions.
    3. Update FCS and Quicktime, if any updates are available - repair permissions.
    4. Connect to old machine via Firewire target mode - transfer project files, plug ins, and any universal applications that might be useful.
    5. Copy media from my old, external scratch drive to the internal eSata drive I plan to use as the new scratch - seems like a good time to repair permissions once more.
    6. Launch FCP, set up preferences and drives, open an old project and reconnect media.
    I'm starting with existing DV media and timelines, but part of our studio upgrade includes new Sony EX-1 cameras, so we'll soon be working with XDCam files. I haven't decided which quality level yet.
    Do the new mixed-format timelines work as advertised? Lots of legacy material to deal with.
    Is there any advantage in capturing XDCam and DV footage to separate drives?
    I'd like to repurpose my old external drive for automatic back-ups. Is the Time machine working well for everybody?
    That's enough to wrap my brain around right now. Thanks in advance from a long-time lurker. Always great discussions here.

    Rob,
    Congratulations on the new toy! You gotta love those year end surpluses.
    FWIW, I think that you are on the right track. I would second the other response that said to only migrate project files. Everything else needs to be installed, especially since you are going from PowerPC to Intel.
    internal eSata drive
    This just made me laugh, it's kind of like having a "Hot" water heater. Anyway, the "e" in "eSATA" stands for "external" so having an internal external drive would just be strange.
    Do the new mixed-format timelines work as advertised?
    This is one of the most misunderstood features about FCS2. You have always been able to mix media on a timeline, and then render. The trick was that you had to choose what kind of timeline you were going to mix your media in. You remember on the old version you would open up a new project, bring in your media only to realize that you forgot to change the easy setup to the new media type. So now you have to delete "Sequence 1", change the easy setup, open a new sequence and everything was good. In the new version you open up a project, get your media, drop it on the timeline and FCP says, "hey, that media is different from your sequence settings, would you like me to change them for you?" Then you can go ahead an d mix media, and render.
    Moral of this story, choose your sequence settings according to what the majority of your media in the sequence will be because you will have to render anything that doesn't match.
    Is there any advantage in capturing XDCam and DV footage to separate drives?
    No.
    Hope this helps,
