Proxying FTP though SUN One web proxy

Hi,
I have to find a reliable FTP proxy suitable for use with command line FTP clients. Tried several so far but none meet the criteria (fast, reliable, supported) for a production-ready system.
Is there a method to configure the SUN One proxy such that an FTP client using connection format such as user@host:port can be made to work?
The existing products that I've tried so far work such that the end user does
ftp proxyhost
username = user@remotetarget:port
password
get/put/etc/etc
I need to be able to replicate that functionality.
TIA
Joe

I'm really looking for a "how-to" here. Lets say I have a client box upon which I use ncftp client. This has to talk through an internal firewall to a DMZ wherein resides the proxy. This will then talk through the external firewall to the target site (probably having traversed at least one more firewall.
What does it take to get FTP services proxied through the SUN One? If we assume that somehow whatever client software I'm actually using will provide something equivalent to ftp://user@target:port when talking to the proxy what specific tuning do I need for SUN One?
So far, what I've gleaned from the docs hasn't worked for anything other than a web browser.

  • Why doesn't Sun ONE Web Proxy Server support full replication?

    Sun believes caching on-demand is a much more appropriate model for either the World Wide Web or an intranet. Common indexes should be distributed, but data can (and should) be stored wherever is most appropriate on the network. If Proxy Servers are deployed, there will be a 50 percent to 75 percent chance that the document will be cached locally and no chance of getting stale data.
    Sun ONE Web Proxy Server uses sophisticated statistical analysis to store the documents most likely to be needed. It also manages document expiry and version control, and by default checks the home server every time a document is requested. Full replication like that performed by other softwares presumes that each document needs to be fully replicated on every server. (Imagine doing that on the Web!) This model limits the scalability of the infrastructure, and requires many more servers, more hardware, and more management complexity. More importantly, it increases the likelihood of getting stale data. A document checked in at one location may take a day or more to be fully replicated around the world.

    If you have a support contract, get in touch with a support engineer. We've run into a bug related to following referrals in the "off-the-shelf" version of the proxy server. I believe there is a hotfix that solves the issue.

  • How would a corporation deploy Sun ONE Web Proxy Server?

    A corporation should deploy Sun ONE Web Proxy Server at the following key places:
    * The Internet gateway: Sun ONE Web Proxy Server deployed just behind the firewall facilitates access to the Internet and reduces response times and communications expense.
    * Major sub-network connections: Marketing, Sales, Product Development, Human Resources, and Finance departments might have their own subnetworks. An Sun ONE Web Proxy Server deployed at each subnet can reduce traffic on the corporate backbone.
    * Remote offices that are disconnected from the internal network: Sun ONE Web Proxy Server can provide a quick mechanism for replicating content when necessary, providing better company integration and increasing network performance without large capital and communications expense.
    * Internationally: Outside the United States, communications bandwidth is typically much more expensive, making Sun ONE Web Proxy Servers even more cost effective. Every international office can make use of an Sun ONE Web Proxy Server.
    * Outside the firewall as a Web server substitute in reverse proxy configuration: This protects information on the secure Web server behind the firewall and offers load balancing via caching.

  • Does Sun ONE Web Proxy Server have built-in log analysis tools? What kind o

    Sun ONE Web Proxy Server automatically logs all requests using either the common log-file format or an extended log-file format. The extended log-file format includes the referrer field and user agent. You can also create your own log file format by selecting which HTTP fields you would like to log. A built-in log analysis program includes reports such as total number of requests, total bytes transfered, most commmon URLs requested, most common IP addresses making requests, performance during peak periods, cache hit rates, and estimated response time reduction. The items logged and the analysis program are completely configurable using the server manager's HTML form.

    Sun Java System Web Server is a web server; it serves web pages to web clients. Sun Java System Web Proxy Server, on the other hand, is a web proxy server; it routes requests/responses between web servers and web clients.
    You can configure Web Server to act as a simple reverse proxy by installing the Web Server 6.1 Reverse Proxy Plugin. This doesn't provide any of the forward proxy or caching proxy functionality found in Web Proxy Server.
    Both Web Server 6.1 and Web Proxy Server 4.0 are supported on Solaris 10.

  • IPlanet Sun ONE Web Proxy Server 3.6 SP6 terminating

    I have a problem with my proxy server server.
    I use iPlanet Sun ONE Web Proxy Server 3.6 SP6
    It is terminating and the service is restarting. This happens about 10-15 times a day. The message I get from the log is :
    [22/Mar/2005:09:29:30] info: server terminating... each time it terminates.
    I know for sure that this is no hardware issue (as I have changed the hard disk recently). My OS is win2000 server SP4 + all released patches from MS.
    Also I have reinstalled the OS several times (clean install after format) and I got the same result.
    Also I tried to use the proxy with/without LDAP server for authentication - the same.
    Any suggestions/recommendations are mostly welcome.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kaloyan

    Dear Kaloyan,
    Migration to another proxy (e.g. ISA) seems to be quickest solution for your problem, as WebProxy doesn't work well on w2k platform.

  • 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.

  • Sun Java Web Proxy Server 4.0.12 is supports Websense Web Security

    Hello All,
    I am using Sun Java Web Proxy 4.0.12 server and installed in RedHat Linux 5.0 OS and I can found software for Websense Web Security aoftware to protect my users and filter the traffic.
    How can I integrate with Websense Web Security
    Thanks & looking forward hear from you guys

    We have migrated several reverse and acl proxy from 3.6 to 4.0.6 and have hit a few issues. If anyone has encountered these we would appriate input.
    First, we thought we had caching disabled in the GUI but the server.xml still have it set to "true" in the FILECAHE entry. Will changing the entry to "false" totally disable chaching?
    When we started the migrated proxy instances the server hit memory issues with swap being eaten up very quickly.
    Second issue is MaxProcs in the magnus.conf. In 3.6 MaxProcs set the number of processes to start and it now for determening the number of processors in the server for threading. We are currently on a server with 6 processors. Should MaxProcs be set to six?
    We will be migrating to Solaris 10 and then to a T2000 so we assume the setting will have to change for each of those migigrations.
    The third issue is, has anyone run 3.6 on Solaris 10 and then migrated to 4.0 later? Sun site shows 3.6 not tested on Solaris 10 but I am sure some one has tried it.

    Dear ahmad@bzu,
    I suspect that your download is corrupted. Check the file size ( for me it shows up 89,328KB(and the installation went smooth). So a possible solution should be to download again and try the installation.

  • Root is running Sun One Directory Proxy Question ?

    While i was installing the directory proxy server, i gave all root to own the files? Is Sun One Directory Proxy suppose to run as root or can i run as non-root user ?

    You can (and probably should) run as a non-root user, assuming you're running on a port above 1024.
    If you've already installed as root, and root owns all the files, the following should theoretically work:
    - Shut down DPS
    - Edit <dps-root>/etc/dpsDefaultConfiguration.ldif, and change the ids-proxy-con-userid attribute to the user ID you would like the server to run as
    - Modify the same entry in the directory server that holds your proxy's configuration information, like:
    ldapmodify -h config_dir_host -p config_dir_port -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
    dn: ids-proxy-con-config-name=<instanceName>,ou=system,ou=dar-config,o=NetscapeRoot
    changetype: modify
    replace: ids-proxy-con-userid
    ids-proxy-con-userid: <same value as you put in the LDIF file above>
    - Change the ownership of all the files in the DPS install directory
    - Change over to the user that you selected and try to start the DPS process

  • Issue with Sun Java Web Proxy Server

    First of all, is there a reason why you are using jRockit?
    Since the issue appeared after upgrading the windows, the issue would potentially be in the interaction between JVM and OS.
    Also, there were some issues related to memory leak that were fixed in AS 8.2.
    May be you should try with a Sun JVM and AS 8.2.

  • Sun One Directory Proxy unable to start error DPS.pid file was not found

    We finally able to install Sun One Directory Proxy 5.2 , but we are unable to start the Proxy server, we are getting error "Since the DPS.pid file was not found, DPS-server is assumed down
    Anybody has any clue / ideas that we would very help fulll?
    Thank

    I've been struggling with this and another problem with DPS for a couple of weeks.
    It generally starts up fine when you dont have SSL enabled. The moment you enable SSL, a couple of things go for a toss:
    1. The problem mentioned above surfaces. Are you facing this problem even without SSL?
    2. If you log into the Administration console, and try to make changes to the DPS configuration, it will give an error stating that "Error in writing to Configuration Directory". But apparently, it will manage to save things. Just that when you try to start it with SSL enabled, it won't. Neither from the command line, nor the GUI.
    Anyone managed to fix this? Sun informed us that there is a problem with Jars, but thats about it.

  • Sun Java Web Proxy v3.6 SP8 supported?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find out if the Sun Java Web Proxy v3.6 SP8 is supported by Sun. I haven't been able to find any supported software listing on Sun's websites.
    We have a software support contract with Sun.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Is there anywhere on the Sun site that documents this?

  • SUN ONE Directory proxy Server on NT Server

    I want to use the sun one directory proxy server on a NT Server as a LDAP Proxy Server to my customised database running on an AIX box. During the installation of the proxy server (called idar 5.0 SP1) it fails indicating that the "the server configuration directory may not be running".
    IWhat am i missing? Is the ldap proxy server dependent on SUN's directory server.

  • Sun ONE Web Server & Remote User field

    Hi,
    I look for a tip to my Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 SP2 configuration.
    I have:
    - OS: Sun Solaris 8
    - Apache 1.3 (listen port :80)
    - Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 SP2 (listen port :81)
    - Weblogic 8.1 SP4 (listen port :8001)
    The 3 applications are in the same server.
    My first configuration works:
    - Apache works with basic authentification by password file (generate with htpasswd) and communicates with Weblogic
    - Weblogic listens http requests and work with the remote user id (use method HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser())
    My second configuration doesn't work:
    - Apache works with basic authentification by password file (generate with htpasswd) + reverse proxy mode (use VirtuaHost) and communicates with Sun ONE Web Server
    - Sun ONE Web Server works with no authentification mode and communicates with Weblogic
    - Weblogic listens http requests and works with the remote user id (use method HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser())
    The HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() returns null in my second configuration.
    How I can configure my Sun ONE Web Server to foward the remote user id ?
    Thank you.
    Christophe.

    Can you send your obj.conf?
    I do not have a 6.1 Web Server installed, by guess work try
    NameTrans fn="redirect" from="/index.html" url="/"
    Also remove find-index or any such SAFs if you have in your obj.conf
    PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html,home.html,index.jsp"Why do you need this?
