Pug-in in intranet environments

I've the Java Plug-in binary file on my web servers, but when IE loads an html file with modified codebase attribute (it points to my WS), instead of showing a Security Warning to install the plug-in, it prompts to download the .exe file to the hard disk.
My html file:
<html>

Thanks in advance.

I've tried with the cab file too, but either it doesn't work.

  • Applet/Servlet/serialized objects/HTTPS/Intranet problem

    We've got a Webapplication with[b] applets on the client and servlets on the server side.The Applet send serialized Objects over HTTPS (SSL) to the servlet. The servlet does some business logic and send the answer the same way back.

  • How to set up a Java Plug-in Download page in case of netscape?

    hai all of you,
    i have a problem regarding downloading plugin.
    i am using <object > and <embed> tags to download the plugins inorder to run the applets. but it is taking long time to download the plugin form sun.com.
    so what i have done is, i downloaded the plugin.exe file and .cab file and put it in my tomcat server mainted by other party.(y application if for internet purpose only.)
    i refered to http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/docs/intranet.html. there it is mentioned that, to download the plugin.
    for I.E i can able to change the code.
    but for NetScape it's a little bit confusing.
    i have downloaded the binary file in my own directory.
    here he is asking to set up a java plugin-in download page.
    instead of this "plugin-install.html" page what page i should create and what should be the code in this page if i have to write on my own. please let me know if anybody know about it.
    following para is from sun.com
    "To deploy Java Plug-in in intranet environments with Navigator, you need to download and store the Java Plug-in binary file on one of your web servers. Then you need to set up a Java Plug-in Download page and modify the pluginspage attribute in the EMBED tag to refer to this page. The Download page should have options to download different versions of Java Plug-in, such as for Windows and Solaris. For example, if you have set up the Java Plug-in Download page at "http://javaweb.eng/plugin/" and the page is called plugin-install.html, you can specify the pluginspage as "http://javaweb.eng/plugin/plugin-install.html". "
    thanks

    I have successfuly done this.
    Change the converted html as per the instructions to point to another page.
    Here is an example of the new html page you need to create:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Java Plugin Install Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h2><center>Java Plugin Install Page</center></h2>
    <p></p>
    <h3>Windows Version Only!!!</h3>
    Click here to Download Plugin
    <p></p>
    <p>You may or may not be asked to either save or run from current location</p>
    <p>If the run from current location is available, use that option</p>
    <p>If you can only save the file, then save it to your workstation and exit the download page and exit Netscape. Then using Windows Explorer, go to where you downloaded the file and double click on the file to run it. Accept all options during the install process and once it has finished try accessing your web page again using Netscape. You should then get to the web page or application and this page will not apppear again.
    </body>
    </html>
    If you put the file j2re-1_3_1-win.exe on a web server somewhere then you will have to prefix the file with
    http://yourwebserverdirectory/
    Hope this helps.

  • SharePoint Foundation which is installed during TFS 2013 installation has no search capability

    I installed a Team Foundation Server 2013 . I opted to install SharePoint Foundation 2013 during the TFS installation on the same application server. The installation went well and everything looked fine. TFS was running and the SharePoint teamsites
    were also purring like a kitten.
    But then I tried to do a search from the default team site which was created for me. I got the following message:“Your search cannot be completed because no Search
    service is available. Contact your administrator for more information.”
    I clicked “New” and nothing… nothing happened. No dropdown.
    Then I remembered that in order to get your Search Service Application provisioned you have to create it using the configuration wizard in Central Administration.
    I started the wizard and when I got to the page where I needed to select the services I want, I saw only 1 service. The Usage and Health Data Collection service.
    Anyway i found out that If you choose to install SharePoint through TFS, we will only configure services that you would need
    to use for TFS-supported integration features.  We do this to conserve resources.  Search does not fall into this category, and moreover is one of the largest consumers of memory in SharePoint, so it is not advised to turn it on if you are running
    SharePoint and TFS on the same box
    Someone can help me maybe and advice what should i do to install the search service? (i don't want to install all things from start and i am not able to do that cause the developers working on the tfs2013 all day.
    Eliran

    so, as you found, SharePoint's search (especially with SP2013) can be rather resource intensive... previous versions were much smaller in scope, but the SP2013 release includes what used to be the SharePoint 2010 FAST Search... and the FAST search engine
    REPLACED all other search engines in SP2013, and as a result is included in the FOUNDATION edition.
    Generally speaking, the search "service" includes several components, for crawling content, indexing, and more... each of these components are somewhat resource intensive (see http://www.sbrickey.com/Tech/Blog/Post/On_the_effects_of_memory_limiting_noderunner_exe ,
    and be aware that each component can add a few hundred MB of RAM usage).
    Additionally, the search index can be DISK intensive (MS recommends at least 500GB for most SharePoint intranet environments).
    Finally, the indexing process will of course be somewhat CPU intensive.
    So, it is quite understandable that search would be disabled by default, especially if you've got a SINGLE SharePoint server.
    Most SharePoint environments that utilize search, have separate servers to provide such processing, without impacting the performance of users that are viewing content via a browser request. This is especially true when you look at SharePoint's Streamlined
    Topology approach.

  • Content Server link in CV01N

    Dear All,
    I was in the process of configuring content server for an ECC 6.0.
    I had installed the content server version 4.6 in a separate system and its working well.
    Then i finished all the configurations relating to creation of repository and linking it to content server through CSADMIN.
    But when i go to CV01N, its not showing any link checking-in my attached document into CS.
    Am i missing anything???
    kindly clarify.
    Regards,
    Samar

    Hi Samarpan
    We use the term secure storage area to define a storage location that, for security reasons, cannot be accessed using the file manager of the front-end computer. The storage data is displayed in the document info record only in the storage category. The path in the file system and the file name are not displayed. Original files that are stored in a secure storage area can only be processed using the Document Management System.
    You can use the storage system as a secure area. The secure area is where data is transported to using the Knowledge Provider. The data transfer is done using the SAP HTTP Content Server interface. This interface ensures that communication with external storage systems only uses industry standards such as HTTP and BAPIs. This can also ensure that your storage system operates correctly in Internet and intranet environments.

  • Run external exe program from APEX button

    Hi,
    I want to run external programs like EXCEL or Word called from an APEX button.
    Does anyone hav an idea?
    Regards,
    Siegwin

    Hi Siegwin,
    To my knowledge, there are two possibilities running apps on the client side: Either user IE with ActiveX or create your own browser and deploy it with the application.
    I did this using the WebKit browser which comes free with the Qute-Framework. It works very well, the only thing I need to do is create a link that starts with os:// to start an external application and hand parameters over. The browser is a minimal browser component, strong enough to run Flash and enabled to interact with the local computer. Deployment of this C++ application is a simple copy to a network device. This approach gave me piece of mind in regard to compatibility issues as well. The browser is a simple window that even don't allow for direct address entering, therefore the Apex-application looks like a normal application then and is unable to connect to any other internet resource other than the APEX applicaiton itself.
    To the others moaning about this security whole: There are situations where you need something like this, fi in intranet environments where you want to enable APEX to interact with the local environment. So I think it's a valid request.
    Best regards,
    Jürgen

  • Deploying JDK 1.2 in an intranet environment

    I understand that clients need to install the JDK 1.2 plug-in to get Jdeveloper 3.1 developed applets to run on their machines.
    The problem is that my clients are on a intranet and have no access to the web for the download. I am using OAS 4.0.8.1 as a web server and need to configure it to download the plug-in when needed.
    Also, some developer server clients have already downloaded the JInitiator 1.1.7. Can they both coexist on the same PC ?
    Help much appreciated.
    null

    the jdk plug-in and usage of it is documented on the sun web site referred to in the jdev release notes.
    (A SHORTCUT TO THEM IS IN THE JDEVELOPER PROGRAM GROUP.IT IS ALSO IN THE JDEV HELP DROP DOWN MENU.)
    ====
    by the way -- the sun web site refers to a technique where you can download the plug-in to an internal server and load it to your client pc's for intranet applications such as yours.
    follow the sun web site refered to above for guidance on how to address this ...
    last time i checked 0AS 4081 supported jdk 1.1 only while oas4082 -- the final release of oas -- supports 1.2 and needs 8.1.6 for the oracle 8i jdk 1.2 jvm environment.
    jinitiator is not a certified jvm for jdeveloper applets -- check the release notes referred to above for the "deployment environments"
    when jdev 3.2 comes out, we all need to see if it's been added as a certified deployment environment browser.
    i hope this helps ...

  • URL intranet connection is fine, URL internet connection not posible, why?

    Languaje: Java
    DB: 10g Standard One
    I have an application on an intranet. When I have to ask for DB services there is no problem, the code line is:
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:SID", "TABLESPACE", psw
    And it works very eficiently.
    But, when I have to ask for the service in internet I wrote the next code line:
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//189.142.32.44:1521/SID","TABLESPACE",psq
    Where //189.142.32.44 is the IP address.
    And I receive the error message:
    "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    First of all, there is a difference in the URL:
    @localhost:1521:SID
    vs.
    @//189.142.32.44:1521/SID
    I would use @189.142.32.44:1521:SID.
    Next, I would configure the DB connection in JDev and use the resulting DataSource. This is recommended for J2EE environments and for the Oracle JDBC driver also.
    And, finally this configuration can be used to the availability of the DB connection within the Test Connection screen.

  • Best practice to move things between various environments in SharePoint 2013

    Hi All SharePoint Gurus!! - I was using SP deployment wizard to move Sites/lists/libraries/items etc. using SP Deployment Wizard (spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com) in SP 2010. We just upgraded to SP 2013. I have few Lists and Libraries that I need to push
    into the Staging 2013 and Production 2013 environment from Development 2013 environment. SP Deployment Wizard  is throwing error right from the startup. I checked SP 2013 provides granular backups but is restricted to Lists/Library level. Could anybody
    let me know if SP Deployment Wizard works for 2013? I love that tool. Also, Whats the best practice to move things between various environments?
    Regards,
    Khushi
    Khushi

    Hi Khushi,
    I want to let you know that we built
    SharePoint Migration tool
    MetaVis Migrator that can copy and migrate to and from on-premise or hosted SharePoint sites. The tool can copy entire
    sites with sub-site hierarchies, content types, fields, lists, list views, documents, items with attachments, look and feel elements, permissions, groups and other objects - all together on at any level of granularity (for
    example, just lists or just list views or selected items). The tool preserves created / modified properties, all metadata and versions. It looks like Windows Explorer with copy/paste and drag-n-drop functions so it is easy to learn. It does not require any
    server side installations so you can do everything using your computer or any other server. The tool can copy the complete sites or just individual lists or even selected items. The tool also supports incremental or delta copy based on the previous migrations.
    The tool also includes Pre-Migration Analysis that helps to identify customizations.
    Free trial is available:
    http://www.metavistech.com . Feel free to contact us.
    Good luck with your migration project,
    Mark

  • CBO generating different plans for the same data in similar Environments

    Hi All
    I have been trying to compare an SQL from 2 different but similar environments build of the same hardware specs .The issue I am facing is environment A, the query executes in less than 2 minutes with plan mostly showing full table scans and hash join whereas in environment B(problematic), it times out after 2 hours with an error of unable to extend table space . The statistics are up to date in both environments for both tables and indexes . System parameters are exactly similar(default oracle for except for multiblock_read_count ).
    Both Environment have same db parameter for db_file_multiblock_read_count(16), optimizer(refer below),hash_area_size (131072),pga_aggregate_target(1G),db_block_size(8192) etc . SREADTIM, MREADTIM, CPUSPEED, MBRC are all null in aux_stats in both environment because workload was never collected i believe.
    Attached is details about the SQL with table stats, SQL and index stats my main concern is CBO generating different plans for the similar data and statistics and same hardware and software specs. Is there any thing else I should consider .I generally see environment B being very slow and always plans tend to nested loops and index scan whereas what we really need is a sensible FTS in many cases. One of the very surprising thing is METER_CONFIG_HEADER below which has just 80 blocks of data is being asked for index scan.

  • Increase Performance and ROI for SQL Server Environments

    May 2015
    Explore
    The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
    NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
    Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
    OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
    Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
    These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.
    Chris Lemmons
    Director, EIS Technical Marketing, NetApp
    If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
    In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
    Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.
    Figure 1) NetApp All Flash FAS increases CPU utilization on your SQL Server database servers, lowering costs.

    Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
    End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
    Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
    If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
    Test Methodology
    To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
    Table 1) Components used in testing.
    Test Configuration Components
    Details
    SQL Server 2014 servers
    Fujitsu RX300
    Server operating system
    Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 Standard Edition
    SQL Server database version
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition
    Processors per server
    2 6-core Xeon E5-2630 at 2.30 GHz
    Fibre channel network
    8Gb FC with multipathing
    Storage controller
    AFF8080 EX
    Data ONTAP version
    Clustered Data ONTAP® 8.3.1
    Drive number and type
    48 SSD
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
    The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
    That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
    Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
    The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
    Calculating the Savings
    Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
    The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.

    Maximum SQL Server 2014 Performance
    In addition to the ROI analysis, we also measured the maximum performance of the AFF8080 EX with SQL Server 2014. A load-generation tool was used to simulate an industry-standard TPC-E OLTP workload against an SQL Server 2014 test configuration.
    A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
    Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
    In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
    For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
    Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
    First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
    A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
    The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
    If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
    And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
    For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

    The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
    NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
    Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
    OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
    Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
    These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.
    Chris Lemmons
    Director, EIS Technical Marketing, NetApp
    If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
    In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
    Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.
    Figure 1) NetApp All Flash FAS increases CPU utilization on your SQL Server database servers, lowering costs.

    Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
    End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
    Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
    If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
    Test Methodology
    To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
    Table 1) Components used in testing.
    Test Configuration Components
    Details
    SQL Server 2014 servers
    Fujitsu RX300
    Server operating system
    Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 Standard Edition
    SQL Server database version
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition

    Fibre channel network
    8Gb FC with multipathing

    Data ONTAP version
    Clustered Data ONTAP® 8.3.1
    Drive number and type
    48 SSD
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
    The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
    That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
    Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
    The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
    Calculating the Savings
    Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
    The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.

  • Creating Extranet and Intranet in a single web application?

    I'm confused ... again! Maybe you can help.
    Microsoft's best practices for setting up SharePoint 2013 is to utilize a single web application in a single web application pool.
    My Network Topology
    I am setting up my intranet AND extranet in a back-to-back perimeter network topology using Claims and Kerberos Constrained Delegation. I will have a dedicated AD instance on the DMZ which my clients will be added to. My corporate users will access the site
    via ADFS using their credentials on our internal network. There will be only a One Way Trust wherein the extranet AD will trust the corporate AD. We will be using Host named site collections and giving clients their own URL. They will basically be accessing
    a single list and perhaps a page that gives them some reports about tasks across a few sub-sites and the a status of a single workflow on the root site of their site collection.
    My SharePoint Topology
    I would like to follow MS' Best Practice as stated above but I'm not clear on a few things.
    1. Does it matter whether my extranet or intranet is on the Default Zone? I'm thinking that the intranet should be on the default since that is where Search crawls and that's the only place where search will be used in any way.
    Is it possible to have two sets of permissions on a single web application, one for internal and one for external, without extending the default zone to create the extranet and thereby creating a new IIS website (webapp) in the process?
    Thank you!
    Love them all...regardless. - Buddha

  • .FLV Video will not work when linked to on intranet (Captivate 5)

    I have a project with video (.FLV).
    1. Project was developed and published to a folder on the local hard drive of a PC.
    2. Project was copied to my company's intranet server.
    3. If I click on "My computer" and navigate to the network folder where the project is, the project and video work fine.
    4. If I LINK to the project (say to send the location to someone in an Outlook message) the project WILL open, but the video will not (reads "Connection Error").
    I did add the video to the library of the project.  The video file is in the same folder as the published project.
    I have worked with support over the phone and wanted to try something different before calling back.  The solution they gave me was to zip the project.  I haven't tried that because it will not be practical for my small hospital.  My users will need to be able to click on something and make it work, they may not have admin rights to the pc or the knowledge/desire to unzip a file.
    Thanks for reading.

    I thought I'd add a few comments in addition to Rod's good suggestions. For the benefit of others who may follow this thread in the future where their .flv is stored on a web server or MS SharePoint. I'd suggest checking with the web server administrator to assure that the server accommodates the .flv "mime type". This is often the problem when you see the "Connection Error" statement.
    This Adobe Knowledge Base article gives details to fix it.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/194/tn_19439.html
    This can also be the case if the .flv is being delivered from SharePoint.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/da-DK/sharepointcollaboration/thread/af003e0e-8 c87-47fe-91d3-47e36ffddec3
    Of course these might not be where your .flvs are stored, but just in case...

  • Macbook Pro intranet will not work on iPads

    I'm trying to set up an intranet network hosted on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.  I have created a local web site hosted in the Apache server on the MBP, and I want 5 iPads to access it.  Its event photos for sale.  The problem is, the site shows up on the iPads ok, but when I tap a photo to enlarge it, it hesitates, then the browser crashes, every time, no matter what browser is used.
    I'm using an Airport Extreme for the wifi.  The problem occurs whether connected to the internet or not.  I tried connecting the Airport to the MBP with an ethernet cable, and making a whole new intranet network on the Airport, and it still does the same thing, despite trying a lot of different configurations.  So, I got a MAMP server, and it still did not help.  I need it to work offline because the events I photograph rarely have internet access.  I've tried using the peer-to-peer connection with the same result.
    I have used the exact same system hosted on my iMac (identical operating system) with no problems.
    I can't figure out what is wrong, any help would be appreciated!

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Can we use the foundation for intranet portal with high availability ( medium farm)

    Today I had requirement, where we have to use the SharePoint Foundation 2013 (free version) to build an intranet portal ( basic announcement , calendar , department site , document management - only check-in check-out / Version).
     Please help me regarding the license  and size limitations. ( I know the feature comparison of Standard / Enterprise) I just want to know only about the installation process and license.
    6 Server - 2 App / 2 Web / 2 DB cluster ( so total license 6 windows OS license , 2 SQL Server license and Guess no sharepoint licenes)

    Thanks Trevor,
    Is load balance service also comes in free license... So, in that case I can use SharePoint Foundation 2013 version for building a simple Intranet & DMS ( with limited functionality).  And for Workflow and content management we have to write code.
    Windows Network Load Balancing (the NLB feature) is included as part of Windows Server and would offer high availability for traffic bound to the SharePoint servers. WNLB can only associate with up to 4 servers.
