SSL and indesign server - soap communications.

Does anyone know if (and how) you could use SSL to talk to indesign server using soap.  The gSoap library (that I believe indesign server uses) has some support but needs compiling to include it, so I'm assuming it isn't included but would like to know for sure.
Thanks
Ian

Hi folks!
A typical scenario I'll encounter at customers regularly is that they have SSL only until the Webcache in the DMZ , as Jon has described. You could create real end-to-end security. The connection to the OHS in the middle tier and even to the infrastructure can use SSL.
When you want to have the database connection encrypted you'll need the Adv. Security option. The protocol between the middle tier and your database is usually using SQLNet or JDBC. For these you need the Advanced Security option.

  • CS5 Extension Builder and Indesign Server ?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to write an extension with CS5 Extension Builder for Indesign Server? It works fine with Indesign Desktop for me, but I'm ot sure for the Server version. Spend time to search on the web, without results.Just found this note in "indesign_cs5_server_scripting_guide.pdf" : You can use the  ExtendScript Toolkit to create JavaScript scripts explicitly for InDesign  Server, or you can use the Creative Suite Extension Builder (CS Extension  Builder) to develop CS extensions in ActionScript. CS extensions are  Flash-based (SWF) and can potentially work in a variety of Creative Suite  applications.
    Many thanks in advance,
    David

    Hello,
    Thanks a lot for the answer. This is not good news for us, but again, thanks for the answer.
    In few words, we are a leading French software editor (www.perigee.fr). Our software is a database that works with Indesign (using a C++ plugin), and manage pictures, text blocs, tables from PIM & DAM mgt.
    We are working on a brand new software suite that will be based on both Indesign and Indesign Server. We intend to develop the Indesign UI in ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder.
    On the model side, we need something that works as well on both platforms. We tested several solutions (C++, Javascript) so far but we came to the conclusion that it would be ideal to use ActionScript.
    If there is no solution for AS and Indesign Server, we'll have to mix four programming languages in our solution (Java, C++, ActionScript and some JavaScript). Alternatively we could delay part of our project depending on the availability of AS on Indesign Server.
    We really like ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder, and hopefully a solution to stay on our preferred languages: ActionScript and Java.
    We also explored the full Java/Corba option but it is not supported on the non-server side. And, again, we believe that ActionScript is the best solution.
    I hope our problem is clearer now.
    Do you see anything we may have missed?
    Thanks in advance for your answer!

  • InDesign Server SOAP API - Status check

    Hi,
    I am running 5 InDesign ports and sending jobs using "Sample Client" SOAP method. For some unknown reason, some ports got crash or not responding. How can I check whether particular port is running without "crash or not-response"? So that, I can notify this by automatically, and send the job to another port.

    If you're an InDesign Server developer, you probably need to post here:

  • SSL and problems serving images.

    We've recently begun testing our application through SSL (we've
    concluded non-SSL testing and all issues have been resolved.)
    When running through SSL, some images fail to load properly but
    re-appear with a "refresh" or an explicit "show picture" from the
    browser. This doesn't happen to any images in particular but does occur
    frequently -- one or two images for every couple pages served.
    Our installation specifics are as follows:
    NT
    Weblogic 5.1 (sp4) running through DOS batch file
    Oracle 8.1
    JSP / EJB
    VeriSign certificate.
    Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
    Thanks - Jackson

    Thanks for the response.
    I am serving all of the images myself through the SSL connection (i.e., we don't
    have a mixture secure and non-secure images on the page.)
    I agree that we shouldn't require ANY app-side changes as we move from non-SSL
    to SSL.
    Has anyone else experienced this type of problem?

    Jackson:
    Whether your images appear or not should be transperent to the application.
    What I mean, when you move from non ssl to ssl mode,
    there should be no changes required for the application code.
    Having said that I would check the following
    Does your page contain and mixture of SSL (ie images served from https) and
    non ssl links (ie image or links served like http:). If the page
    contains a mixture of SSL and non SSL tags then you would run into the
    problems. Netscape would not display the images properly and IE
    would warn you with a dialog box. I would recommend that you go through the
    generated HTML or JSP and check the http and https links.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can I export a PDF in InDesign Server and return it to the calling client?

    Using Java/CORBA between a client machine and InDesign Server, I would like to:
    1. Make a remote call to InDesign server  to create a document, passing IDML as a parameter on the call
    2. Make another remote call to InDesign server to export a PDF, returning the PDF on the call return.
    Is this possible? I notice that the doExport method does not return a PDF to the calling client. Instead, it saves the PDF on the server. I don't see any apis which would allow me to do the above.
    The use case here is a web application which need to "preview" an image. The image consists of a template and some variable data which is sent to an InDesign server for composition and is returned as an image.
    Thanks for any help.

    I fail to see the issue. You have added crop marks, have you not? For all intents and purposes those are marks that are supposed to be visible and printable for cutting in the real world. If you don't want them, don't use them. Acrobat can generate them on the fly for printing, anyway.

  • [IDS Win]How to flush Indesign server.

    Hi All,
    I am using Indesign server to create documents which contains text, images & tables. My job is to create & export documents to pdf. Document are sometimes contains 300 plus pages. And cs2 server process this jobs one after the other in queue ..may be 100 jobs in a queue. Here after certain amount of time a 'out of memory' error comes up and Indesign server gets crashed(its around after processing 30-40 jobs).
    I have taken care to delete all allocated meomary in my program through New- delete pair. Still after each job allocated memory to Indesign keeps increasing.
    Is there any way so that I can purge memory from Indesign after my job complition? I tried to use 'PurgeMemory' over IDocumentList but its not that effective.
    Any suggestions are most welcommed!
    Thanks,
    Rahul.

    Well, it's been two years since the last activity in this thread, and I am having this exact same problem with InDesign Server CS4.
    I have a .NET web application that calls the IDS through SOAP and simply tells it to run a JavaScript.  In simple terms, the script opens an InDesign file, imports some XML, makes some minor formatting changes, and exports the PDF to the filesystem.  The .NET webapp then receives the status message and redirects the user directly to the finished PDF which they can then view/save/etc.
    This all works perfectly, but while it's running, I see the memory usage of InDesignServer.exe spike by several MB, and then it settles back down to a still-higher-than-initial value. Eventually, the InDesignServer.exe is taking up several hundred MB and my server starts giving out-of-memory errors.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Like the original poster asked, it appears as though I should be flushing something that I am not. I've researched this "ErrorList" that was referenced, and my memory "leak" seems to be bigger than this (although I could be wrong), but I can't find anything in the language reference on how to programmatically flush this after each document. I'm not even sure if this is the culprit.
    Can anybody help? Many many thanks in advance

    Kuassi,
    I see that files "javadoc.zip" and "demo.zip" report the same file sizes for both 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.1 versions. Are the 10.2.0.2 versions of these files identical to the 10.2.0.1 versions?

  • InDesign Server CS3 Debug verion

    I have recently downloaded ID Debug version and installed it, before i start using this i thought i would ask a question here.
    is there any difference between debug version and release version of ID? if my main intention is to evaluate to see if ID server has the features that i am looking for, does it make any difference which version i use?
    i reviewed documentation provided in 'intro_to_indesign_cs3_server.pdf' and this document applies to the debug version too?
    apprecate your reply.

    AFAIK there is no functional difference server debug and release. You may find things slower with the debug build due to additional checks performed, and since additional checks means more/different code it is possible for bugs to exist in one version but not the other - though I don't know of anywhere this applies.
    I'm not sure from the question though - are you asking for the difference between InDesign server debug/release or the difference between InDesign debug and InDesign Server release - there are a whole load of differences there...

  • InDesign Server CC

    We are looking at developing a Windows Service application using the InDesign SDK.  With the current version of InDesign CC, we cannot do this because the application must be running in UI mode after a user has logged into Windows.  InDesign Server would meet our requirements (user does not need to log in to Windows to run the application), but it is only available in CS6.  From what we understand, we cannot mix InDesign CC and InDesign Server CS6 as the INDD file saved with CC cannot be opened with CS6.  Is there going to be a CC version of InDesign Server?
    We will also be looking at creating another Windows Service application that interacts with PhotoShop.  Do you know if PhotoShop has the same restrictions as InDesign in terms of needing to log on to Windows to use the application through the SDK?

  • InDesign Server CS5.5 installation issue

    I am developing solution using InDesign Servers via COM which is hosted on Windows Server 2008 R2. And I am experiencing problem utilizing CS 5.5 server:
    When InDesign Server CS5.5 is installed on Windows Server 2008  (64bit) its COM component is registered with following parameters: CLSID = {96D10A00-63E3-423e-A223-DFC4BEA21206}, ProgId =  InDesignServer.Application.CS5.
    The problem is that those are the same parameters that are used for InDesign Server CS5 COM component. And therefore I can't have CS5 and CS5.5 installed on the same server, which is required for solution I am deleloping.
    Has anyone experienced that problem or maybe know some workaround for it?
    Meanwhile, When InDesign Server CS5.5 is installed on Windows 7 (32bit) its COM component is registered with unique parameters: CLSID ={34701EBC-5975-411C-8A45-E78E0934AADD}  and ProgId = InDesignServer.Application.CS5.5

    Hi Alexey
    I'm having trouble doing exactly what you say you have done.
    I'm trying to run InDesign Server CS5 and InDesign Server CS5.5 on the same Windows 2008 r2 64bit installation. InDesign Servers are Single Instance.
    I am only allowed to run one InDesign Server at once - not both.
    Is this possible for you or any other in this forum?
    Thanks in advance,

  • InDesign Server, Applescript, and SOAP

    Hi All,
    I've scoured these forums and the rest of the 'net as best I can, but I can't seem to find a solution for my issue, so I'm hoping maybe someone out there can shed some light on it for me.
    I have InDesign Server running on one box (IP of 192.168.1.5, launched to service SOAP commands on port 12345), and I'm attempting to send a SOAP command to it via Applescript from another box, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it the RunScriptParameters. The Applescript I'm running looks something like (dummy text in for the parameters right now, because that's where my trouble is):
    tell application "http://192.168.1.5:12345/"
        set resultText to call soap {method name:"RunScript", method namespace uri:"http://ns.adobe.com/InDesign/soap/", parameters:????}
    end tell
    Every time I run it, under a variety of ways of trying to feed it parameters, I get the error: "/ got an error: The required SOAP element "RunScriptParameters" could not be found. Please check the SOAP message that was sent to InDesignServer." I'm lead to believe that the method name and method namespace uri I'm sending through are correct, as if I change either of those it gives me a generic error. (Method <blah> not implemented, if I change "RunScript or the method namespace uri.)
    So, what I'm left with is figuring out how exactly to send through the RunScriptParameters with this setup. I've tried every way I can think of to feed it the scriptLanguage, scriptFile, and scriptArgs, as an array of elements under parameters, as part of a variable called runScriptCommands which I feed through parameters, and every variety of this, to no avail, all giving exactly the same error. Any help would be immensely appreciated.
    (And I know Applescript may not be the ideal way to call a SOAP command, but it would be a very simple way for me to test ID Server scripts in my situation, and there isn't any reason that I can see that it shouldn't work...)
    Thanks!

  • InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide

    Hi everybody
    I try to ask one silly Q.
    Where can I get this document.
    I found many references but no link :(

    There is no document titled "InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide". This was an error in the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server.
    You'll find the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server in the InDesign Server CS2 ESD (the server download bundle). Even better you'll find the CS3 version in the InDesign CS3 Server SDK. Available at the following URL:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/
    The information about Java/CORBA is specific to CS3, but the information about scripting and SOAP applies to CS2.
    Let me know if that helps, or you still need something else.
