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.

  • 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

    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.

  • How do I bind to directory server with SSL and authentication?

    I'm running Lion Server 10.7.3, Open Directory master. In Open Directory/Settings/LDAP, I've checked the box to Enable SSL and selected a (self-signed) certificate. In Policies/Binding, I've checked the box to Enable Authenticated Directory Binding.
    Testing with a client computer on which Snow Leopard has been freshly installed and fully updated, I went to System Prefs/Accounts to bind to the new directory server. The good news is, the binding was successful, and when the client initiates an AFP connection with the server, it uses Kerberos, creating a ticket as expected. (Which doesn't work with Lion clients, alas, but that's a seperate matter.)
    Here are the problems:
    1) It looks like the binding did not use SSL. By which I mean that when I opened Directory Utility and examined the LDAPv3 entry, the SSL checkbox was not checked. (If I then check the box, everything looks fine until I restart the client, after which I have a red dot. So I'm guessing that checking the box does nothing until after restart, and that it breaks the binding.)
    2) I was never prompted to authenticate for the directory binding.
    So I get that literally I'm *enabling* SSL and Authenticated Directory Binding, but it seems like the defaults are to bind without SSL or authentication, and there's no obvious-to-me way to force the binding to use those things. How do I do that?
    What I'd really like to do is *require* SSL and Authenticated Directory Binding. I want this because my belief (correct me if I'm wrong) is that if authentication is required to bind to the server, no one will be able to bind to my server without my permission, and that SSL offers a more secure connection to my server than not-SSL. How do I require these things, or do I not really want to?
    Thank you.

  • EDSPermissionError(-14120) problems with LDAP, SSL and Directory Utility

    Hello everyone,
    Apologies for the repost but I think I may have made a mistake by posting this originally in the Installation, Setup and Migration forum instead of the Open Directory forum. At least I think that may be why I didn't receive any responses.
    Anyway, I've been trying to get my head around Open Directory and SSL as they are implemented in Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard, and have been having a few issues. I would like to set up a secure internal infrastructure based around a local Certificate Authority that signs certificates for other internal services like LDAP, email, websites, etc.
    I only have one Mac OS X Server and it is kind of a small office so I have gone against best practice and simply made it a CA (through Keychain Utility). I then generated a self-signed SSL certificate through Server Admin, and used the "Generate CSR" option to create a Certificate Signing Request. This went fine, but I did have some problems signing it with the CA, because the server documentation suggested that once I signed it it would pop open a Mail message containing the ASCII version of the signed certificate - it did not, and it took me a loooong time to realize that I could simply export the copy of the signed certificate it put in my local Keychain on the server as a PEM file and paste this back into the "Add Signed or Renewed Certificate from Certificate Authority" dialog box in Server Admin. Hopefully this can be fixed in a forthcoming patch, but I thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is stuck on this issue.
    Once I did this I was able to use this certificate in the web server on the same machine and sure enough I was able to connect to it with with clients who had installed the CA certificate in their system Keychains without getting any error messages - very cool.
    However, I haven't had quite as much luck getting it going with LDAP/Open Directory. I installed the certificate there as well, but have run into a number of problems. At first I could not get clients (also running 10.5.2) to talk to the server at all over SSL, receiving an error in Directory Utility that the server did not support SSL. I eventually discovered that the problem seemed to lie in the fact that the OpenLDAP implementation on Leopard is not tied in with the system Keychain, necessitating some command-line voodoo to install a copy of the CA cert in a local directory and point /etc/openldap/ldap.conf at it, as documented here: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20071203011158936
    This allowed me to do an ldapsearch command over SSL, and seemingly turn SSL on on clients that were previously bound to the directory, and additionally allowed me to run Directory Utility on new clients and put in the server name with the SSL box checked and begin to go through the process of binding. Once this seemed to work, I turned off all plaintext LDAP communication and locked down the service by checking the "Enable authenticated directory binding," "Require authenticated binding," "Disable clear text passwords," and "Encrypt all packets" options in Server Admin. However, I am now running into a new problem, specifically that I cannot successfully bind a local account to a directory account over SSL.
    Here's what happens:
    1) I run Directory Utility, (or it auto-runs) and add a server, typing in the DNS name and clicking the SSL box.
    2) I get asked to authenticate, and type in user credentials, including computer name (incidentally, should this be a FQDN or just a hostname?)
    3) Provided I put admin credentials in here and not user-level credentials, I get taken to the "Do you want to set up Mail, VPN, etc.?" box that normally appears when you autodiscover or connect to an Open Directory server.
    4) I click through, and am asked for a username and password on the server, as well as the password for my local account.
    5) When I put this information in, I get a popup with the dreaded "eDSPermissionError(-14120)" and it fails.
    Checking the logs in Server Admin reveals nothing special, and while I have seen a couple other threads on this error and various other binding problems:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5967023
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5982070
    these have not solved the problem. In the Open Directory user name field I am putting the short username. I have tried putting [email protected] and the user's longname but this fails by saying the account does not exist. For some reason it does seem to work if I bind it to the initial admin account I created, but no other user accounts.
    If I turn all the encryption stuff off I am able to join just fine, so I am suspecting that the error may lie in some other "under the hood" piece of software that doesn't get the CA trust settings from the Keychain or the ldap.conf file, but I'm stymied as to which piece of software this might be. Does anyone have any clues on what I might be able to do here?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hard to tell what is happening without looking at the application
    source, knowing what OS & hardware you're using etc. You might want to
    try running with different JVM versions to see if it's actually the VM
    that is the problem. If you have a support contract with BEA you could
    ask support to help you diagnose this.

  • Unable to use SSL between Access Manager and Directory Server

    I am trying to set up Access Manager to use SSL when communicating with Directory Server. Access Manager 7 is running under Sun Web Server 6.1. I have configured Directory Server to use SSL using a Self-Signed CA and have imported the CA certificate into the certificate database for Web Server. When I change the Access Manager configuration as specified in the Admin Guide to use SSL and restart the Web Server, Access Manager fails with the message
    (among many others)
    netscape.ldap.LDAPException: SSL connection to
    eauth1.arc.nasa.gov:636, SSL_ForceHandshake failed: (-8157) Certificate extension not found. (91); Cannot
    connect to the LDAP server
    I am able to connect to the Directory Server instanc with JXplorer using SSL (with a complaint about an unknown CA). Can someone explain the error message so that I can fix the problem or work around it?
    Thanks

    in the initial part of AMConfig.properties, you'll find an entry similar to trustSSLCerts . This, by default, is set to false. Trying setting it to true (AM web server instance will need a restart). This lets AM continue with SSL handshaking inspite of errors. Am not sure if this affects AM to DS connectivity as well. It sure affects AM to AM communication (in a multiple server configuration).
    Naturally, it is not recommended that you use this feature when you are ready for production, but atleast it'll let you be sure that apart from the cert issue, everything else is okay.
    Hope this helps.

    We tried your scheme with no luck. You are using "ROOT" as your war file

    The error occurs in pub.client:http
    I traced through the working (in QA) and non-workinfg versions and checked the pipeline prior to the call and can see no different apart from the difference in protocol.
    Does anyone have any idea what the cause is? I cannot determine what value is null.

    I have a problem with image item in Form 6i. Oracle 9i is used as backend DB, and a table contains image data is created for testing:
    create table image_test(
    id number,
    image blob
    In Form 6i, there is no problem to create a block for inserting/updating the image record into the database. However, it can not be used to retrieve image (blob field), the image item remains empty after 'execute query', while the id field can be retrieved. When the same table is created in Oracle 8.1.7, and the exact same form can be used without any problem both in inserting and retrieval. It seems that the Oracle 9i does not use the same way to store BLOB column. Has anybody ever encountered this problem? How to retrieve image (BLOB) in Form 6i from Oracle 9i?
    I tried to use interMedia ORDImage as the data type in Oracle 9i, that is,
    create table image_test(
    id number,
    image ORDSYS.ORDImage
    Same problem, the form can insert record with image, but when retrieving, nothing displayed. Anybody could help! Thanks in advance!

    hi!
    well working with oracle8i and form6i.
    same problem..but i used (instead of blob or clob as datatype..) Long raw..

    and can be retrieved..using Execute_Query..its working fine..
    well if anybody get any other solution..do inform..

  • I am having problems opening images renerated in lightroom5 into cs6. Cs6 bridge does not see the lightroom libarary. If I open lightroom and right clik the image, edit in cs6, 6 opens but the picture doesnot follow. What is going on? Give me a hand.

    What edition of LR 5? What edition of ACR does PSCS 6 contain. If they are not parallel (same edition number x in [5 or 8].x ), is LR making a tiff or psd rendition of the image?

  • Copy and Paste Problems with Images

    I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

    Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

  • Big Problem: Missing Images and Duplicated Images

    I had thought that this was some kind of web gallery problem, but now it's clear that this affects all of Aperture (on my system).
    If I select a few images (in this case from a smart album), and then create a new:
    * web gallery
    * album
    * etc
    ...from that selection, the new gallery, album or whatever appears, but withOUT the images in the browswer! Oddly, the album does show that the appropriate NUMBER of images are in that album (from the panel on the far left). In other words, an album is created, a number of images are listed as being IN that album, but the images aren't showing up in the album, at all.
    Further, the images actually become DUPLICATED in the smart album that was the source.
    Here is the strange bit: If I select a large number of images from that smart album, some of the images DO appear in the NEW album or gallery or whatever. But many DON'T. And all images are duplicated in the source album.
    I've restarted the Mac, rebuilt the Aperture database. Problem persists.
    Anyone have any idea what's going on? Do You have this problem?

    I have seen a similar problem when creating a smart album. I have also had a similar problem with images disappearing. See this thread:

    I still have not found a solution and the Apple techs are no help.
