Securely identifying a remote physical machine

Hi,
Is there a way of securely identifying a remote physical machine? I don't mean by using a public/private key mechanism, because I want to identify the physical machine, NOT the user, for program piracy issues.
I posted this to the general security forum, but I think I have a better chance using some low-level network mechanism?
TIA,
Reggie

I thought commercial programmers always had access to
some unique network machine ID, like the one ActiveX
uses to create a UID to create a unique ID for their
ActiveX control?It's easy to generate a unique ID. But such an ID isn't secure. The user can change it, force it to be regenerated, move it to a different system, or otherwise compromise some aspect of its uniqueness/security.
If you're willing to rely on users not being malicious, there are a lot of ways you can generate unique IDs which would identify the machine in question. If you were to combine the current time, the machine's IP address and some random value, you would have a nearly-guaranteed unique ID, but one that is only sufficient in a friendly environment.
The "standard" UUID generator is based on the current time and the machine's MAC address. Here is some information on it:

Need guidance in cloning my newly installed EBS 12.1.3 to a physical machine

Hello Guys,
We have just migrated EBS 11i to 12.1.3 with rdbms 11.2.3 on the same server. Our Test instance is on a physical machine and DEV is on a Virtual Machine. We need to refresh or Clone the Test and Dev systems with or from Prod. Which is the best approach for me to follow in cloning Prod? I am looking at Doc ID 406982.1 but it's not very clear to me. Has someone get a step by step documentation for such cloning?
Thanks
Mathias

Mathias,
The document you have is all what you need.
You may also refer to (Troubleshooting RapidClone issues with Oracle Applications R12 (Doc ID 603104.1)).
And, if you Google "Rapid Clone" R12 you will find many hits.
Thanks,

How to convert a physical machine to virtual machine ?

Hi,
I'm confortable with Xen that I use for years, but with Oracle VM, there are some points that would need more explanation.
Here is what I already did :
- Create a disk file image, and make a filesystem on it. (with dd and mkfs.ext3)
- Copy all the content of my physical machine to the virtual disk image. (rsync -a)
- Create a vm.cfg file.
My problems :
- OVS use to create virtual disk image instead of virtual partition image. I don't know how to manage this. I'm using the image OVM_EL5U1_X86_64_PVM_10GB to understand how oracle encapsulated the /boot partition, the / and the swap within the same file that contains a partition table, 2 partitions : the first is the /boot, the second is a lvm pv. With lvm, they created 2 volumes : the / and the swap.
Where can I get a clear howto to use losetup and set the correct offset in order to be able to mount the partition or to activate the lvm ?
- I'm not familiar with pygrub. This looks very nice script, but I don't know why it doesn't work with my basic images. Is it necessary to have a /boot partition within the image file ?
Regards,

Local logical standby and remote physical standby

Dear All,
My database version is 10.2.0.1.0(production) and Operating System Linux x86-64 OS Version Red Hat Enterprise 4
Below is my configuration details:
Rprimary Database:Two Nodes RAC
StandBy Database LOCAL:Standalone database
Standby Database Remote:Two Node RAC
So,my question is, i want my local physical DR to convert into logical standby and
Remote DR will operate as physical standby as it IS.
sql>EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD
After executing the above statement in my production primary database will there be any performance HIT.
And another important is that my above statement shouldn't affect my remote physical DR database.
Just the local DR should get converted into logical standby database
Thanks and Regards

Monoj DasIn any Data Guard environment, you can have either physical or logical or even mixed[physical + logical]
There will be no performance issue if you run the package for logical standby DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD , This package provides you to manage even logical standby database.

Oracle EBS is patehtically working on VM Ware although it has same specs as of physical machine.

Hi Everyone,
We are running Oracle EBS on Physical machine having specs as follows:
DB
X2 Quad Core Xeon 2.4 GHz
32 GB RAM
x2 146GB SAS Drive with RAID-1 for OS
SAN HDD x10 450GB SAS 15K i.e. 4.0TB but RAID-5 implemented (2.3TB allotted to DB)
x4 NIC but 1 NIC used 10/100/1000
Apps
X2 Quad Core Xeon 2.4 GHz
32 GB RAM
x2 146GB SAS Drive with RAID-1 for OS
SAN HDD x10 450GB SAS 15K i.e. 4.0TB but RAID-5 implemented (500GB allotted to Apps)
x4 NIC but 1 NIC used 10/100/1000
We are facing serious issues when migrated Oracle EBS on vmware infrastructure.
Issue are related to high I/Os and high CPU usage hence performance of the application gets down badly whereas same application on physical machine working fine. We would also like to share physical machine is with lesser specification.
Following are specs of Oracle & VM Ware machine;
Oracle EBS is with 11g v1.1.07 Database and R12 v12.1.3 Apps
OS for above applications is RED HAT Enterprise Linux 5.5 64bit
ESXi version 5.5.0 build 1331820
Hope to have a positive reply.

Hi Linjo,
Thank you for your response.
VM MAchine specs are as follows:
(There are two servers, everything is same except local storage.)
Both servers are HP DL 585 G7 server with;
Quad AMD Opteron Processor 2.5GHz
12GB RAM
x8 NIC
Local-1 HDD x8 600GB SAS 10K i.e. 5.4TB, RAID-5 implemented
Local-2 HDD x10 900GB SAS 10K i.e. 7.2TB, RAID-5 implemented
SAN
SAN-1 HDD x6 600GB SAS 15K i.e. 2.4TB but RAID-5 implemented
SAN-2 HDD x6 2TB SAS 7.2K i.e. 8TB but RAID-5 implemented
Yes, it is a shared environment, like we have other machines are running on VM but we have dedicated cores & memory for EBS Apps & DB servers.

Hi baftos,
I tried to telnet remote windows machine from my local machine on port 23, its not connected and given error message like "Connect failed".
As your response, if we can telnet to remote windows machine from local machine then we can connect from Java. Is it correct ?.
Can you please help me to resolve this issue. And also please confirm the port (23) is correct, which I was used to connect remote machine from telnet.

There is a problem with this connection's security certificate The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate. Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send

Hi,
I have this Windows 2008 R2 on which I installed remoteapp some years ago.
Now the certificate expired and I get the message
"There is a problem with this connection's security certificate
The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the remote computer."
How should I renew the certificate? I already went to certification store and tried to renew certificate with same key but then it says "the request contains nor certificate template information".
Please advise.

Does the computer account have Enroll permission to the certificate template?
From the Server running your CA, run mmc, click File then Add/Remove Snap-in...
Add Certificate Templates and click OK.
Find the certificate template, then right click and select properties. On my CA its call ed RemoteDesktopComputers but might be called something different depending on what what template your certificate is based on.
On the security tab, click Oblect types, check Computers then OK. Enter the Computername and click OK. Then give your computer account Enroll permisssion.

Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?

hi,
does oracle's licensing for 11g express edition prohibit running XE databases on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine? if not, does the machine have to be "hard partitioned" per oracle specifications (link below) to make it legal?
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
i found a similar question regarding 10g express edition in the forum (link below), but it doesn't seem like the question was ever definitively answered.
Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?
thanks

I thought until I just checked that this was a clear cut no in that it specifies 'a single server'. Now I'm not sure as 'server' is an amibuous term. I at least know that as soon as you start giving developers access to theor own XE instance for dev/testing that there are many VM environments where you can't really know what physical macine your VM is running on to actually be able to tell if you had multiple XE instances running on a single 'Physical' server. I'm not sure the question has been answered by Oracle though.

Identifying the Remote Operator on the Managed Device

I just have one question regarding Remote Management. Since we are using an external VeriSign certificate, the remote operator is currently identified as "unknown user" when a managed device is remote controlled. I think this is working as designed because the Remote Operator's name is derived from the certificate generated on the ZCM server. When External CAs are used (i.e. VeriSign), certificates are not generated for the remote operator, therefore the operator is recorded as an "Unknown User". Am I correct ?
I read the following in the ZCM documentation:
B.3 Identifying the Remote Operator on the Managed Device
When a remote operator launches a remote session on a managed device through ZENworks Control Center, a certificate that helps the managed device to identify the remote operator is automatically generated by ZENworks if an internal CA is used. However, if an external CA is used, the remote operator needs to manually provide the certificate that is chained to the deployed external CA and is certified for SSL Client Authentication. For more information on using the external CA, see Use the Following Key Pair for Identification in Section 2.8, Starting Remote Management Operations. Novell Documentation
If a remote operator launches a remote operation on a managed device without providing a certificate, the name of the remote operator is recorded as An Unknown User in the audit logs, the Visible Signal and the Ask User Permission dialog box. To ensure that the remote operator provides the certificate, deselect Allow Connection When Remote Management Console Does Not Have SSL Certificate in the Remote Management policy.
Do you know how the required key pair for identification is generated ? What are the steps ? We need for the remote operator to be identified.

WSUS, DC and CA on same physical machine?

Hi!
Have been playing around with WSUS as we are about to deploy that here and I had time over so I thought that I should learn a bit on how it works, how it's setup and all that.
I have three physical machines to play with, all running WS2012R2. One is master, one runs a hyper-v and the last one I deployed as a DC, ADCS (Enterprise CA) and WSUS:
Februaryserver: Master DC
Marchserver: Hyper-V
Aprilserver: DC, ADCS and WSUS
At my last attempt I almost succeeded, but ended up with an error on the server that tried to use the WSUS Server and that was that a certificate chain was processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider (can post
logfile if needed).
I have now installed and uninstalled everything 3 times I think because I cant get this working and I started wondering about that maybe, just maybe, it's a bad idea to promote a single server to be a DC, ADCS and WSUS...?
My questions are these: is there any complete guide to how to setup WSUS using SSL - OR is there a guide to setup WSUS and NOT using SSL? Can't seem to find any appropriate information.
This is my first attempt at trying to understand the CS role, creating certificates and what a CA/CN/CS etc is. Its also my first attempt at trying to setup a WSUS, but I actually might give up and let some third party do this for us instead, time is running
out :(
I have read and followed the following guides:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852346.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831574.aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12485.configure-ssltls-on-a-web-site-in-the-domain-with-an-enterprise-ca.aspx
At my first attempt I didnt pay attention to the guide which covers setting up the ADCS and the result was that the CN was incorrectly named. The second time I thought I got it right but apparently I hadn't. At my third attempt I was just playing around and
trying to setup the whole WSUS without using SSL as ALL our clients are located at the same physical location as our servers.
So... that's about it. Story of my week so far :)
Would really appreciate any help/guidance/support/tips/whatever that might help me out here.
Thanks in advance and have nice holiday everyone!

Ok, thanks for clearing that out. So, WSUS should not be installed on a DC. I suppose I should move both the DC and ADCS to one of the other servers and test again.
The problem with the certificate will most likely remain though. If I setup ADCS on, for example, my machine called februaryserver, the CN till be februaryserver and FQDN will be februaryserver.xxx.xxx.xx, right? Other than installing the certificate as
a trusted root certificate provider, is there anything else I need to do to get this to become a trusted certificate?
Thanks!

Number managed servers per physical machine

Hi
I seem to remember reading somewhere that oracle recommend that you have 2 managed servers per physical machine. The reason I think was something to do with heap size or garbage collection.
Does anyone know for sure if oracle/bea did recommend 2 managed servers? And if so what is the reason for this.
many thanks in advance.

There is no such restriction. The recommendation of the number of managed servers per machine would depend on each machines available resources.

Benefit of Remote Lab Machines?

Good Morning,
I have heard of training programs using remote lab machines logged in as participants for use during breakout sessions, while participants take turns controlling the lab machine. What is the benefit of performing breakout sessions with lab machines as opposed to just having the participants share their screens?
I am trying to decide whether or not our training group should use lab machines for our practice activities.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Barb

Perhaps, I should rephrase the question: How have you used remote computer lab machines in your virtual classes?

Migrate ALUI portal from physical machine to virtual machine

Currently the application is on physical machine. We are planning to migrate it to virtual machine.
Is there any risk factor to migrate the application?
Do we need to take any precautions while or before doing migration of the data?
Thanks

Hi,
We've never had problems with multi-server VMWare deployments but just recently hit problems running WCI 10.3.0.1 onto Virtual Server 2005 in 2-virtual-server deployment.
Whenever we started the Analytics, Collab and Notification services, all connectivity (inc ping) between the virtual servers dropped out after a few mins. Connectivity to the external network was maintained and the virtual network was fine without the portal services running. CPU and memory usage was ok on both servers. Stopping these services re-established connectivity.
We've raised a support issue with Oracle who told us that 10.3.0.1 was not proven to work on Virtual Server 2005. Unfortunately we could not pin down the cause and as it was only for Dev we're running all portal services on a single Virtual Server as a workaround.
Jonathan - what portal version are you running on Virtual Server please?
Cheers,
Adam
