OHS Stand Alone 904 & SSL

I'n trying to setup OHS 904 with SSL and it doesn't work.
I've tried this.
1) With Oracle Wallet Manager created a new wallet with certificate request.
2) Used that certificate request to get a trial certificate from thawte.
3) Imported the certificate pasting it on OWM and sved it with autologon
4) changed opmn.xml to enable ssl ( <data id="start-mode" value="ssl-enabled"/>)
5) Changed SSLWallet in ssl.conf to point to the new wallet.
6) restarted OHS
But when I try it firefox shows "<IP> has sent an incorrect or unexpected message Error code -12258"
Internet Explorer doesn't shows nothing but "The page cannot be displayed"
In the OHS error logs appears:
[18/Jul/2005 13:55:38 10619] [error] SSL call to NZ function nzos_Handshake failed with error 28860 (server pascal.mydom.com.ar:443, client 192.168.0.125)
[18/Jul/2005 13:55:38 10619] [error] SSL fatal alert
So I don't know what to do.
I was trying a lot with this but can't make it work.
Any clue is appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin.

I left the wallet alone. End users have to click 'Yes' to accept the dummy certificate.. one time per session. No biggie.
I run SSL on port 443 which means the end user does not need to include the port number in the URL. To make that happen there are a couple other things that need to be configured:
ssl.conf
Change port numbers
opmn.xml
change 'disable' to 'enable'
change ownership of .apachectl to root
chown root:oinstall .apachectl
change suid bit of .apachectl
chmod 6750 .apachectl
HTH,
Mark

Calling a web service through SSL via a stand alone java class

HI,
I am trying to call a web service through SSL via a simple stand alone java client.
I have imported the SSL certificate in my keystore by using the keytool -import command.
Basically I want to add a user to a group on the server. Say I add a user user 1 to group group 1 using an admin userid and password. All these values are set in an xml file which I send to the server while calling the server. I pass the web service URL, the soap action name and the xml to post as the command line arguments to the java client.
My xml file(Add.xml) that is posted looks like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<namesp1:modifyGroupOperation xmlns:namesp1 = "/services/modifyGroup/modifyGroupOp">
<auth>
<user>adminUser</user>
<password>adminPassword</password>
</auth>
<operationType>ADD</operationType>
<groupName>group1</groupName>
<users>
<userName>user1</userName>
</users>
</namesp1:modifyGroupOperation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I call the client as:
java PostXML https://com.webservice.com/services/modifyGroup "/services/modifyGroup/modifyGroupOp" Add.xml
I my client, I have set the following:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_12\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "password");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_12\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");
But when I try to execute the java client, I get the following error:

Thanks In advance!

Hi jazz123,
There's an example in the [*Java Web Services Tutorial*|http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/2.0/tutorial/doc/] : see Chapter 1: Building Web Services with JAX-WS - A Simple JAX-WS Client.

AD LDS Stand Alone SSL gives error 81 (x51) when trying to connect with LDP.exe 3.0

I have a stand alone instance of ad lds on win server 2008 R2. Using ldp.exe 3.0 I CAN do a NON-ssl connection and eventually a bind using servername or the fqdn which is the servername followed by a period (i.e servername.) or using the
IP address. Note that the server is in a workgroup (not a domain).
However, when specifying the ssl port, ssl checkbox and any of the following servers in LDP.exe:
servername
servername. (note the trailing period)
ip addr
I get:
ld = ldap_sslinit("SRV9.", 50001, 1);
Error 0 = ldap_set_option(hLdap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
Error 81 = ldap_connect(hLdap, NULL);
Server error: <empty>
Error <0x51>: Fail to connect to SRV9..
For SSL I expected the IP addr to fail because it has to be the FQDN. I expected the servername + period to work because it has on similar ad lds instances in the past.
I verified that the port is correct using dsdbutil. I have also tried changing the port using dsdbutil. Could this mess anything up if I specify that port in ldp.exe?
I have used the mmc certificate snap in to validate the certification path. The rootCA and subCAs are valid and work on other websites.
Under the details tab I have validated:
Issuer
Valid dates
Subject is SRV9
the template is WebServer
Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1)
I have put the server cert in both the machine and service (for my ad lds instance) under the Personal store. I also have put the two "parent" CA certs in the Trusted Root Cert stores for both the service and the machine.
Additionally, here is some partial output from netstat -ano on the ADLDS machine:

Lee you rock! Thanks!!
My problem was the missing read permission. I modified the instructions a bit from your link for Windows Server 2008 R2 for the permission issue:
To grant the Read permission on the server authentication certificate to the Network service account
First go into control panel > Folder Options and turn on view hidden files.
Navigate to the following default directory where the installed or imported certificates are stored:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
Right-click the appropriate server authentication certificate, and then click
Properties. I see a strange filename convention. I just sorted the files by date and picked the latest one. Not sure how else to do it. Can someone please tell me the file naming convention of these files in MachineKeys?
On the Security tab, click Edit.
In the Permissions dialog box, click Add.
In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, type
Network Service, and then click OK.
Turn off view hidden files in control panel Folder Options.

Need help in creating a web application that runs on a stand alone sys.

I am planning a small java web application complete with database. I need to know if there are any ways to deploy that application on a stand alone system and that if there is any way to make an executable for that application so that the user need not go through the process of deploying the app and starting the server whenever he restarts the system. Can anyone help me in this regard? Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,
Since I had a Gmail test servlet kicking around, I ran it on the latest V3 nightly build.
On the first run, I encountered the following nested exceptions:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465
--> java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.DefaultSSLContextImpl)
--> java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.DefaultSSLContextImpl)
--> java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Password must not be nullThe UnrecoverableKeyException is a manifestation of [https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6938|https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6938]
I worked around this by adding the following JVM config options to domain.xml
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=changeit</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit</jvm-options> (Note: the default master password is "changeit")
These lines are placed in /domain/configs/config/java-config of domain.xml for the particular server config you're using. There's only one server config in the default domain.xml shipped with V3. Then restart the server.
I retested the code on both port 465 and 587, with and without the above config changes. Without the change, they both fail the same way, and with the change, they both work. Let me know if this helps.

Can anyone tell me is BC a stand-alone proprietary system or can it be hosted by another provider??

@Have had a website built using BC by a website company that I have parted ways with
after 18 months of hell. I now have the BC platform and website, but have no idea
what I'm doing. They never activated the emails for me, but after tearing my hair out
I managed to get one email working, but just how is a total mystery.
Can anyone tell me if BC is a stand-alone proprietary system that is operated by Adobe
or can I get another Hosting company to take it over for me?? I would very much
appreciate someone's help before I go totally crazy. I can't get in touch with anyone to
talk to from Adobe - tried the Skype number several times and it never answered - I rang
it what was 9-5 US time, but no luck. Can't find a living person to talk to here in
Australia!!
HELP ME PLEASE.....

Hi
Adobe Business Catalyst is a hosted CMS. That means you need to host in ADOBES datacentre for the CMS to work.
But that's not all bad news because Adobe apply the updates for you so you're always running the latest software. AND the SSL certficates / DNS hosting etc etc etc is all included in your website.
The Business Catalyst is designed so website owners are connected with a partner. The partner helps to ensure you've got someone to lead on for support, or when something falls over. It's highly recommended to have access to a good partner. Sounds like you ended up with a dud.
So to answer your question directly. No, you can't just transfer your site to another hosting company.
BUT - you can transfer your site away from your existing Partner to someone else.
If you're in Australia I can offer you a really attractive wholesale solution with no costs to you and will help you transfer free of charge.
I can also offer you Business Catalyst training if you need this.
Let me know if you need help getting this all sorted

Deploying Java stand alone application in Weblogic server

Hi All,
We have an java stand alone application which our client uses. Suddenly they came up with a requirement of using this application from web logic server.We have following directory structure for our application
myapp
- config -> contains all configuration files
- logs -> contains log files
- ssl -> ssl related files
- samples ->contians stub's
- myapp.jar
How to deploy our standalone application in to weblogic server?.
We tried putting whole myapp folder in WEB-INF folder , and from the servlet we are able to invoke an method in an class file( in myapp.jar say Test.getInstance()) but it couldnt find configuration files (in config folder ) and it is throwing an error. We have a class called Test in myapp.jar and when we call getInstance of the class it loads all config files - config file location is hardcoded as /config/myconfig.xml , and we are facing problem here because it couldnt find myconfig.xml.
We also tried packaging whole myapp folder in to jar , but with that also we faced the same problem
Please let us know are we proceeding in the right way and how to deploy our application in weblogic server.We dont prefer making changes to our code at this point of time.
Any info on this will be very helpful to us.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi René van Wijk,
Thanks for quick reply. Link you mentioned gave a basic idea of application structure , but still i couldnt get deployment process.
Am very much new to weblogic.Can you please let me know how to deploy our standalone application in to weblogic, with out making any changes to the code.
Below is folder structure of my java stand alone application *( not webapplication)*
myapp
- config -> contains all configuration files , for ex:- myconfig.xml
- logs -> contains log files
- ssl -> ssl related files
- samples ->contians stub's
- myapp.jar
We have logic to load configuration file (config/myconfig.xml) , in an class and we are not allowed to make any changes to this code, so we cant use Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(...) .
Regards,
Suresh

Security in stand-alone persistence

hi,
i've got stand alone persistance in my java project, so im using PU with query language, last time i was snffing my ethernal interface, and noticed that queries are like a simple text, if there is any easy way to secure this informations? can persistence manager use JSSE? do you have some suggestions about any solutions? in my point i dont want to do lots of code modifications instead of saying PU to use some secure connection...
thanks for advice

:) PU is my persistence unit (in this case toplink), im using PostgreSQL so there is SSL but how to say PU to use some SSL connection, normaly im using something like that:
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("MyPU");
javax.persistence.EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();and now
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.createQuery("Select p FROM Person p").getResultList()and my persistence

Migrating stand alone programs to web based application

Hi,
I have a small application consisting of .class files. I created these using Swing components and it's based on Client/ server model where it accesses Oracle Database.
I want to deploy these programs in Java App Server so that it can be accessed thru web browser.
Please tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

If this was the thing, Sun, Microsoft and IBM
wouldn't have even giving a thought of migrating
legacy application (I'm talking about Mainframes and
AS/400 here). If this kind of migration is possible,
can't we migrate a java code from stand-alone
"version" to web enabled.
Migration is not really a term to use to for converting a stand alone application to a web application. Unless of course again you are prepared to turn it into an applet.
The flow and control of a web application are entirely different from a stand alone app. You will not be able to reuse Swing GUI's from a web server. I don't know how to make that any clearer.
Hopefully you have a good design for your existing application and you can relatively easily reuse your existing business logic components.

SAP PI Installation on Stand alone machine

Hi,
Thanks to one and all for having such a nice forum as it has answer to all the questions which I have posted.
I have been given a very interesting work for anlying if SAP PI could be installed on a standalone machine without having any SAP box. My requirement is to install SAP PI tool for non SAP integration.
I will distribute my question in 2 parts
1. Can I install SAP PI in a stand alone desktop?
2. Is is important to have a SAP R/3 system to install SAP PI tool?
Please do share your thoughts and if possible please share the document which could be used as proof.
Thanks in advance.
Gautam

1. Can I install SAP PI in a stand alone desktop?
Yes.
2. Is is important to have a SAP R/3 system to install SAP PI tool?
No.
If you are trying to install 7.1 then have a look at the video blog (easily available on SDN) for the same....will help you.

Recording Stand-alone Soft Synths & Virtual Instruments in Audition 3

Hi People,
Have a little problem which I'm struggling to figure out.
I have been using Cool Edit Pro for several years. My set up has always enabled me to record any standalone Software Synths via my sound card. I have always had it set up so my sound card plays through patch one and records through another patch enabling me to record in the multi track editor with no problems at all and my set up records only the soft synth/instrument, and not any waves previously recoded. Instead just plays them back so I can build up my music and play along at any given time. Although this is a rather different approach to doing things, it suites me down to the ground and I'm happy to create this way
My problem has come upon whilst trying out the new Adobe Audition 3, which is based around ASIO Drivers. Because of this I can no longer run another program (Stand alone soft synth), because Adobe hogs the ASIO driver and will not allow another program to be run at the same time. I can use the Adobe windows driver for audition no problems and I am able to continue recording how I did with Cool Edit, but I would much prefer to go along with auditions ASIO drivers to make sure I am recording with the best quality and reliability.
My Sound card is an E-MU 1616 with breakout box. I have tried numerous ways with the patch mixer to get around this, for example I have tried using my sound cards driver for audition and ASIO4ALL2 for my soft synths. One of which is Hypersonic 2, and the other being SampleTank. I cannot for the life of me get my set up and running how it was with cool edit.
I must admit that although I have played around with my settings, it could be something simple I need to do that just hasn't jumped out at me yet. My evaluation of Audition 3 runs out in 20 days and I'm almost sure that there is a way to enable my set up to work how I want it to before I can go out and buy Audition 3. I'm very comfortable with audition 3, naturally. I love the changes and extra features it has now along from the cool edit days.
I have looked into other solutions as well after scouring message boards, one of which was Cycling 74 Soundflower, this sounded like it could be an answer but unfortunately it is Mac only. If Adobe did Audition for Mac then I wouldn't hesitate in going down that route...
My other solution is to have a second computer, either a modified mid range P C, or even a Mac, to act as my synth station and have my various software synths and such running on there and playing out to my recording PC with Audition on. This would free up the ASIO to be used by Audition solely. It's a long way around but wouldn't cost the earth and would be a simple enough idea to set up. But surly, I shouldn't need to go this far out to get my ideal setup.
Anyhow, I would much appreciate any advice and ideas to help me solve this problem; I will keep working at it in the mean time.
Hope my explanation makes sense above, I can appreciate that there are other ways like just going along with another program and such, but in all honesty I like the way I work and don't really want to move on, I'm more bothered about just getting on and recording new ideas in the environment I'm so use to. I love the way Cool Edit/Audition works for me and I have developed my own methods with the software over the years. Working with just audio suits me to the ground as I record and chop up my own Guitar bass and drums, along with sounds from my field recorder and a host of other methods and ideas.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
As long as your softsynths comes in the VSTi format (most of them do now), you can insert it on a track in Audition, which has 'host' capabilities from V3.
In the Multitrack, insert a new MIDI track from the 'Insert' menu (note: MIDI Track, not just 'MIDI').
On that track pane hit the 'Sequencer' button, and it will open in a separate window. In the pane left of the keyboard you can insert your VSTi of choice, and make your MIDI connections.
Back on the Main track pane, engage the 'L' button for Live monitoring. Actual recording (of MIDI) is done in the Sequencer window.
The usual, and recommended workflow is to keep the MIDI tracks 'open', i.e. you can edit the sound in your instrument and even the notes played at any time in the process, compiling the actual audio as the last step in the mixing.
If you kind of 'insist' on doing it the old way, you can export the audio from your recorded MIDI+VSTi creations track by track like this: Leave the Sequencer window open, make a selection in the multitrack that covers the time span you have played. Solo the track (will mute all others), and use File / Export Audio Mixdown. Use 'Master' as the source. This will give you a wave rendering of what's currently in the MIDI sequencer. Qualitywise this is better since it's all internal and digital instead of in/out of soundcards with DA/AD conversion etc.
I haven't found a method for a 'live' wave recording while you play, but there may be one...
If you purchase Audition it comes with Help files explaining this in more/better detail. ;)

Download LR 5.5 as stand-alone

Hi,
I am using LIghroom 5.4 and have heard about the updated version 5.5 which I would like to download and install as it worked fine since I started using LR as from version 3.
I want to use it as a stand-alone program and have no interest to join the Adobe cloud.
How and from where can I download the latest update without installing the cloud desktop software?
Update:
found the solution myself:
I went to the download page , pressed on the the windows version of LR 5.5 (german in my case). This opened up a text page with links. Here you scroll down (press page down couple of times) until you see Downloads, and here you press "Proceed to download" which will download the 920 MB exe file on the local harddrive.
I got frustrated because I missed that I had to scroll down so far, so all I ended up a couple of times was the cloud installer.
For amateurs this is not the way how I will continue. I will stick to LR as long as it is offered as a stand-alone program. I am not willing to go into the cloud and make it a cash cow for adobe....
best regards,
Matthias Brand

You don't need to be attached to the cloud constantly for the newer versions to work. They only have to connect once every four months or so. I believe they also offer enterprise/government versions that don't require a connection at all, but you would have to contact Adobe sales to find out about that. Also, you can pay in yearly increments instead of monthly (and there may be more options for government versions).
The only perpetual licenses you can get are for CS6 and equivalent versions, but nothing newer.

Using a Mac Mini Server as a traditional stand alone desktop

Hello all, currently I have a late 2008 model 17" MacBook pro, Time Capsule, Apple TV and an Iphone 3GS and Ipod Traditional. I would like to add a desktop system to coordinate all of these items, to be the centerpiece is you will, in my home. I'm interested in buying a mac mini, I began to do research however and saw the Mac Mini Server which has greater memory capacity 4GB vs 2GB RAM, and dual 500Gb vs the standard Mac Mini which has one at 320GB. I would like to take advantage of these upgrades as I'm a writer and will be constantly on the web for work as well as likely keep a lot of items on the hard drive.
However I noticed the Mac Mini server utilizes Mac OSX snow leopard SERVER as opposed to the user grade Mac OSX. *My question is if the Mac Mini Server with MAC OSX server can still be used as a stand alone desktop, connecting it to a spare LCD television I have and a mac wireless keyboard/mouse?*
I'm aware that unlike the other mac mini and imacs it does not come with ilife and other pre-installed software, and *I want to know if it's still possible to purchase after market and install said software utilizing them in the traditional manor?*
Thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide and I apologize if my question was difficult to comprehend due to my lack of computer knowledge. I also apologize if this question is similar to others you've received lately as I did a quick scan of google and these forums and did not seem to find the specific answer I was looking for.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let me clear up a misperception that you have. Both the Mac mini and the Mac mini Server have a capacity to address 8 GB of RAM. There are two SO-DIMM slots in each model. The mac mini comes preconfigured by Apple with 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB). The mini Server comes preconfigured with 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB). You can buy and install yourself up to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB).
You can even install Mac OS X Snow Leopard client, which will meet your needs a bit better than Server, now that folks have figured out how to do it;

And yes you can buy and install iLife, and pretty much everything else that you want to include in your kit. Either model of mini works fine with wireless keyboards and mouses. If your LCD TV has an HDMI port, then a simple HDMI to HDMI cable would be the simplest manner to connect it to the mini.

HT201485 My iphone won't let me download apps and refers me to my computer for verification. My computer will not access itunes due network issue. How to make iphone stand alone for downloads & updates.

In iTunes my iPhone refers me to iTunes on my computer for verification. iTunes won't work on my computer. How can both my iPhone and iPad stand alone?

Turns out that when my iPod Touch was restored, the restrictions had been turned ON for Facebook and several other apps. This is what was preventing the Facebook app from accessing my Camera Roll for picture downloads. This is odd since all of my iPod backups would not have had those settings turned on. This is also the first time this has occurred given the few times I've had to restore my iPod Touch.
Anyway if you experience the same behavior from your iPod or iPhone with iOS 8.0.2, just go to the General settings and review your settings under Restrictions. Once you set them to allow for changes, you should be back in business.
