"problem reading configuration" Bug in Admin for Graphite and Snow

Background: Bought a used "graphite" (M5757 SN PW9495EYH93) for a friend with only dial-up access. Downloaded Airport Admin for Graphite and Snow. System seemed to be operating fine - I could see it on WiFi and even connect. Of course I was missing some passwords, so I needed to get it back to default settings by doing a hard reset-"perform a local reload". Support article HT2439 provided instructions: I plugged in a wired connection.
But "Auto" address selection didn't seem to work - I kept getting "problem reading configuration" messages.
So I tried "Manual" for entering IP address and password.
OOPS! When selecting "manual" for setting the IP address, the IP address triplets entered were reversed when saved in the device. Or at least they display reversed in AirPort Admin, while other nearby AirPort addresses display correctly.
For instance, when I set the device to the Apple default address of 192.42.249.13, the address displayed in AirPort Admin was 13.249.42.192. This was reliably repeatable, and worked around by entering the desired triplets in reverse order. Once I inverted the triplets and got the IP address I expected into the AirPort, configuration proceeded smoothly.
This bug can lead to frustration finding and reconfiguring AirPort devices, communicating over ethernet (since of course the network address and subnet masks work perfectly, but not as expected) and displaying/changing configurations. I didn't spend more time investigating the boundaries of the problem after finding the work-around and getting this particular AirPort working, but the problem might be the cause of some of the other configuration issues that seem to crop up regularly.

Hello Dudlington. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" seems to be at version 4.2.5 for OS X and was released in April 2008, yet only supports the "dual ethernet" versions.
Not to worry, the "Dual Ethernet" and "Snow" actually refer to the same model. The 802.11b Snow is the predecessor to the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and followed the "Graphite."

How can I get AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 to work with OS10.6?

I've upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS and now AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 won't run. Any suggestions on how to either run this utility or otherwise get access to my old Snow Dual Airport via another method? Airport Utility doesn't see the device, despite repeated scans. My computer and iPad connect no problem to the device, but both iPod and iPhone won't take and hold an IP address. (If any one can help me solve this issue, I can live without access the Airport.)
Thanks,

Unfortunately, you will need another Mac running a much earlier version of OS X to be able to install AirPort Admin Utility and make any settings chances to the router.
Since the normal life of a wireless router is around 5-6 years of use, now might be the time to consider a new router that will provide far better performance than the older Graphite/Snow AirPort.

Need AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow

hey there.....any help would be greatly appreciated.....
I ave passed along my graphite base station to my brother in law for his new iMac and it seems he needs the "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" to get it set up. The new "Airport Utility" doesn't seem to recognize it. Is the utility still available for download? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Another option....is it possible to copy and paste the utility into my iDisk and have him download it from there?? Not sure it that will work??
Again...many thanks for any help anyone can offer!!!!!

AirPort Admin Utility, version 4.2, which works with Graphite and Snow base stations, can be found within the download of AirPort 4.2 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42formacosx1033.html).
I tried it on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.4.10, with a Graphite base station, and it works fine, so far as I can tell.
I did not actually try to install AirPort 4.2 using the installer, because I was afraid of messing with my system when all I wanted was the utility. Here is how to get it:
- Download the disk image AirPortSW42.dmg from the Web page mentioned above. If the installer launches, quit the installer.
- Double-click the disk image to mount a volume named "AirPort 4.2 Update."
- Within the AirPort 4.2 Update window, ctrl-click on "AirPortSW.pkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents."
- Open the "Contents" folder.
- Double-click the "Archive.pax.gz" file, which causes an "Archive.pax" file and an "Archive" folder to be extracted to the desktop.
- Open the "Archive" folder, the "Applications" folder within it, and the "Utilities" folder within that.
- The AirPort Admin Utility is there. You can move it to Applications/Utilities and discard everything else that was downloaded.
Thanks to Tesserax (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5136389&#5136389) for recently explaining how to extract an AirPort utility from a download package.
Although I have never seen "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow," it probably was the same thing as AirPort Admin Utility, just renamed.

AAU for graphite and snow can't find base station

I've always been able to find an answer on the discussion lists before, but I don't see where anyone has posted about quite this same problem:
I have a dual-ethernet (aka snow) airport that I'm using with a new model MacBook Pro. I'm using the Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow (AAU for G&S) to manage the airport, and all had been working well until the past couple of days. I was having signal problems with the MacBook Pro but not with my old ibook G3. IStumbler showed more people in my apartment building were using the channel I had set so I thought I'd switch in case that was the problem. AAU for G&S on the MacBook Pro couldn't recognize the base station but the old AAU on the G3 ibook did so I changed my channel and the signal must have improved enough for the MacBook Pro since I was then able to connect to the Internet with the MacBook. But I still couldn't find the base station with the AAU for G&S.
I did a hard reset (or the equivalent) per support doc "Resetting the AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet)" and tried to reload the software per another support doc "AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) : How to reload software from Mac OS X". When I hooked the MacBook Pro up to the airport by ethernet, I still couldn't find the airport in the AAU for G&S. And now after the reset, I can't see it anymore on the old utility on the G3 ibook.
While the MacBook Pro was hooked up to the airport by ethernet, I was able to connect to the Internet that way, and I'm wirelessly connected to the airport right now (which is hooked up to my cable modem). But if I need to change my channel again or do something else to the base station, I'm stuck--the AAU for G&S can't find it.
Is anyone else still trying to hold on to their Snow airport and either run into or solved this kind of problem? Very grateful for any assistance!

Thanks to everyone who read my question, but I seem to have found a solution to this which only goes to show if you mess around enough ... Anyway when my AAU for G&S couldn't find the base station by scanning, I had tried using the "Other" option and entering the IP address that I saw in the Network Preferences Advanced window. That didn't work, but this morning I notice that there was another IP address, slightly different for Router. Since my Airport Snow is functioning as my router to my cable modem, I tried that IP address and voila, I can bring up the settings on my base station and reconfigure them. I've done this several times successfully so far. Of course I now may have to get rid of the old Airport since the network interference in my apartment building is now getting ridiculous, and I'm hoping the the newer Airport Extreme will help me to find a wireless space that will work consistently without dropouts.

Configuring Netgear FVS318 VPN for iPhone and Mac OS X clients.

Hi,
I am trying to configure the FVS318 VPN for iPhone and Mac clients to connect to. I have been able to set it up that all hard wired and wireless connections with in the network to connect seemlessly, but when it comes to VPN I am not able to get any connection from outside the network. I have set all the usernames, passwords and shared secrets multiple times and I am unable to connect even after reseting it. Any help setting this would be great.
Thanks

Are you using your external IP address to set this up? This works while on the network, as in at the office but not from any connection outside? What IP scheme are you using on the Netgear? If you are using something like 192.168.1.1 and starbucks uses the same scheme it wont work. Try setting your Netgear to something like 192.168.33.1

Graphite and Snow with Snow Leopard

Is there any word on an updated Airport Admin utility for the Graphite and Snow Airport, which will work with Snow Leopard?

There is a free open source utility to configure Airport Snow/Graphite base stations:
"Airport Base Station Configurator"
http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/sevy/airport/
This is a java application. Make sure you download the UNIX/Windows version, NOT the Mac Classic version. Unzip it and dubble click on the resulting 'Airport2BaseStationConfig.jar' file to run the utility.

Veristand Problem: When Configuring a project, searching for a library file as a dependent file.

Hi,
The problem that I am having is that I took all of the necessary files in order to run a project and moved it to a different computer. When I open Veristand, and try to configure the project, a pop up window comes up with "Search for Dependent File: [filename]". It then says the missing file and the search directory. You can also browse for the file. So, for about the first couple of files, I just browsed for it and it was fine. But when it reaches a library file, I try to open it and it opens the library inside of Veristand. I think it thinks that I'm trying to get the file from inside of the library instead of the library itself.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Problem in configuring SSO using SAML for applications hosted on diff m/c

Hi Techies,
I am stuck in a weird problem for past month or so without any resolution. Not much help by googling. So I hope i get the answer from the mouth of the horses -
I am trying to use SSO using the sample application appA and appB as stated in the tutorial of SSO by BEA.
I am summarizing the problem below -
Steps followed for Configuring SSO using SAML
1. Created 2 domains on 2 seperate machines namely domainA and domainB
2. Source appliction is deployed on domainA and the target application is deployed on domaninB
The steps mentioned in the following tutorial has been followed-
http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2006/12/sso-with-saml.html
3. As mentioned in the tutorial the certificate is generated using keytool utility. The same certificate is copied
to WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib of destination machine.
4. The certificate was successfully registered on desitnation or host 2 but while activating the configuration
changes(SSL client Ientity Alias and SSL Client Identity Pass Phrase) for Federation services the following error
is thrown -
" SAMLBeanUpdateListener: SAMLKeyManager.prepareUpdate() failed with exception:
weblogic.descriptor.BeanUpdateRejectedException: SAML key Manage failed to validate key (SSL Client) configuration
in the FederationServicesMBean, key alias: testalias "
The interesting bit of the problem is that the same configuration works on 2 domains created on same machine. The
problem only occurs when domains are created on seperate machines.
Alterative to the problem: when the certificate is generated seperately for domainB and copied to
WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib, it works. However, the certificate generated in domainA should have been copied.
Note: I am using Weblogic portal 9.2.1
Any quick replies will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi François,
You are right about the use of the NameID format. But the issue here is/was that OIF at SP is integrated with OAM, and the authenticated user at OIF-SP and OAM will be the Anonymous user rather than the user who was identified at the IdP even though the remaining attributes sent are for the IdP user. I think these attributes can be used by with OAM for authorization using custom authorization plug-ins but haven't tried that one out.
As for the attribute sharing profile, it's this one - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18058/sstc-saml-x509-authn-attrib-profile-cd-02.pdf, although for the life of me, I cannot remember why I suggested this in the first place!

Sharepoint 2013: Problem / Error when creating Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN

Hi,
I have a website with English and Arabic Language Packs installed. I have the corresponding Variation heirachies created and the whole site collection is published.
Recently the client asked for french and german languages to be accomodated as well. So I followed the same approach I did for English and arabic (installed the language packs) for foundation, ran ocnfiguration wizard, installed server language pack &
ran configuration wizard.
But after creating the variation label, when i try to create the variation heirarchy, I am getting the following error.
"Unknown failure when creating a variation of page http://server:port/en/pages/default.aspx in label /fr/Pages/default.aspx.
The Variations Create Hierarchies job failed with the following error message& Unknown failure when creating a variation of site
http://server:port/en in label fr."
Am not sure what is going wrong. Appreciate a feedback.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created the Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN.
I recommend to check the Resources folder located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15 to see if the file core.fr-FR.resx exists in the folder.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Configuration of special procurement for issuing and receiving plant

Dear all,
I have two plants "x" and "y" which are not yet maintained in SAP. MRP run is carried for plant y and it triggers a STO to plant x. Please let me know the config steps for receiving and supplying plants. Also, the precautions to be taken while creating plants in SAP.
Thanks in adavnce!!
Suraj

Hi,
In plant Y, you have to maintain Spl.procurement key in material master. In MRP 2 view assign External procurement & spl.procurement kery 40.
In the plant X, create material master as inhouse production in MRP 2 view.
Have to maintain BOM & Routing in plant X.
Configure in SPRO> MRP> Planning> Define spl.procurement key.
In this assign Issue plant as X.
Run MRP for plant Y. System create Stock transport req in plant Y.
Convert this req into stock transport order.
In plant X, dependent req will create.
Use MB1B mvt type 301for single level stock transport.
For multi level stock transport use MB1B 303 - issue & 305 -receive mvt.

Problem using text to speech with Pages 09 and snow leopard

Hi,
I am writing a large document and use the start speaking function often to hear parts of it read back after I write it.The speech sounds great for a page or two and then starts to become choppy and skips words and eventually becomes inaudible except for a few sputters. I would like to be able to listen to the entire document when I am done and would like to either solve the sputtering problem or find a new app that will allow a long paper to be read back by the computer. This problem is consistent on my macbook(2010) as well as my iMac(2009).
Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

I have to constantly reboot/restart between Lion on my New Thunderbolt Mini and Snow Leopard off and External Drive.
Why? There is no good way to do what you're doing.

External HD suggestion for Lion and Snow Leopard

I have a new Mac Mini running OS X Lion, plus a MB Pro running Snow Leopard. I am looking to buy a new external hard drive to be able to back up both. Any suggestions? Any particular pitfalls with Lion and external HDs?

Basic Backup
Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Glassfish password problem - can 'configure' but not 'admin'

Hi,
Using the release 1.10.179 with Glassfish Community 3.0.1 on Windows XP - I can deploy and configure my APEX listener, but once it's there I cannot get to the 'listenerAdmin', 'listenerStatus' screens - it doesn't accept the passwords that I created for the 'adminlistener' and 'managelistener' users.
Any ideas on how to get past this?

I installed this successfully in Windows 7, just tonight.
I would suggest first double checking the PDF instructions for the configuration - I found it easy to miss a small step.
Double check your port numbers you're using, too. Mine defaulted to 4848 for the admin, but 8080 for listener admin.I don't think that it's a ports problem as 'wrong' ports result in getting a page not found error. I've also found that I'm having problems running APEX, seems to be on the wwv_flow.accept...
I'll have another look at the documentation!
