Sync Sun Messaging Server Address Book with Mac OS X Address Book

Hello,
I am wondering whether there is a way to synchronise my address books inside Sun Message Server and on my Mac?
Does anybody know how do to this? I tried an VCF export of all my contacts from my Mac address book and imported it with the Web mailer interface Sun Java System Communications Express.
The import was done without any errors but all emails and phone data is gone so finally I got several empty contacts.
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround or a fix available?
Does anybody know a better way for synchronization in both directions and without duplicating all records on a second import?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Thorsten

You can try the demo site here:

Are you able to provide an example of a single exported contact that doesn't work (import into CE)?
Does anybody know a better way for synchronization in both directions and without duplicating all records on a second import?If you can find a syncml client that is able to sync records with the Mac Address Book then you may be able to use the Mobile Communications software to sync contact information:

Where can I get Messaging Server 3.5 with 128-bit encryption?

Where can I get Messaging Server 3.5 with 128-bit encryption?
<P>
Messaging Server 3.5 is available for export (40-bit encryption)
and domestic (128-bit encryption). The domestic version includes
support for Fortezza.

It can be updated from any computer with an Internet connection but is best done from the computer which it normally syncs with. The update itself is free; if you have someone do it for you, you may be charged.

Sun messaging server 7 installation

Dear All,
I am trying to install sun messaging server 7 on an X86 machine.
However, when i try to run the commpkg install or upgrade i get the below (noting that i am using DS 6.0)
bash-3.00# pwd
/opt/sun/comms/CommsInstaller/bin
bash-3.00# ./commpkg install
-- LOGFILE: /tmp/CommsInstaller_20081218091111.log
Can not find the distro containing the Packages, i.e. could not find

Be sure you are specifying a distro for the SunOS i386 platform
Exiting at /opt/sun/comms/CommsInstaller/bin/../lib/CI/Distro.pm line 64.
Moreover, after installation, i have modified the http port to 81 and once i logged from the browser i got this
Messenger Express has been removed
Messenger Express is not supported in this version of Messaging Server.
What does this mean?

You will see that when you unzip the full comm-suite-6 download there is a SunOS_i386 directory which includes all the software that can be installed.

What does this mean?It means exactly what it says. Messenger Express has been removed. It has been deprecated for a few versions now and every single 6.3 patch has said at the end on the patch installation that Messenger Express will be removed in a future version, so does the documentation/release notes:

If you want to use webmail you now use either UWC/CE or Convergence as the webmail interface.

Sun Identity Server 6.1 with Weblogic 8.1 sp2

Hi,
I've installed the IS 6.1 with WLS 8.1 sp2 and the agent 2.1.1 and followed the agent configuration guide to configure the xml files (web.xml and weblogic.xml) and agent authenticator.
When I login to the restricted resource, the browser is redirected to the IS server login page. After login, the browser is redirected back to the resource with 403 forbidden.
Is there any step missing? Should I additional add some policy in the IS console? .....
Clive

I have just installed Sun Identity Server 6.2 with WebLogic 8.1 SP3 and am experiencing the same results. Have you resolved this issue in your environment? We are evaluating Portal Server running on a BEA WLS Container and thus do not have Sun Support on the Identity Server Component of this configuration.

Installing Sun Messaging Server on DMZ Architecture

Hello,
we want to install Sun Messaging Server in a DMZ Architecture and I need know if it is possible to install the Messaging Server on the private network to protect data and users, and a pop agent on the DMZ which allows the public to access to mail accounts.
For this I want to know how to install Sun Messaging Server, so I install two instances of Messaging Server over the DMZ and the other on Private, and then what there components that need be configured in each side (Store, SMTP in Private and POP in DMZ).
Finally Thank you for your understanding.
Good works.

There is an example here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4439/acrqg?a=view
In your case Tier 2 would be inside the DMZ (private network) and Tier 1 outside the DMZ (public network).
For this I want to know how to install Sun Messaging Server, so I install two instances of Messaging Server over the DMZ and the other on Private, and then what there components that need be configured in each side (Store, SMTP in Private and POP in DMZ).MTA + MMP + Webmail daemon go on the private network.
Store + MTA goes on the public network.

Can i rejoin ny SCVMM 2012 server to domain with same name & IP address?

Dear all..
I am in situation where i have to rejoin my scvmm server to domain with same name & ip address.one of the fool admin has deleted my SCVMM's computer object from AD. I have recreated the object & tried to log on but no luck.. i have to rejoin
the server.
Does it have any risks involved or its just fine?

Hi,
First the behavior is normal. If an computer accounts is deleted, you cannot continue using the server without rejoining.
SCVMM it's not depending (integration) on active directory in such way as Exchange.
So, if the computer accounts has been deleted, there is no issue in creating a new one and rejoin the server. As long as the application on the server is able to look up any required directory services, it should be happy again.

Let's say I sync my address book with .Mac. Now...

...if I add to my address book using an Internet browser on another computer, will my Mac be updated with this new address as well? If not, how do I make it so it is?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you log onto your .Mac account and change data displayed in your address book on .Mac, then—following the next scheduled synchronization event—the change will be reflected on all of the devices included in that event.
What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
So you can make a change to your .Mac address book records and, during a subsequent synchronization, exchange the most current data maintained in the truth with the updated information from .Mac, and then, hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.

Help me sync all my iPhone's tabs with Mac - beginning to despair!

Hi,
iPhone 4S 16GB, White, iOS 6.0.1; Mac Pro 2010, Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update 1.0; iTunes 10.7 (I am NOT upgrading to iTunes 11).
I can't get all the aspects of my iPhone to sync with my Mac Pro without receiving the dreaded, "Do you want to erase this iPhone…" dialogue. At the moment, the iPhone currently syncs Apps, Podcasts, iTunes U and Photos with the Mac Pro in question. I'm trying to get it to also sync Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes and Books.
This is such a convoluted process that I'm not sure where precisely to begin. I'll start with my last Restore From Backup, which was for the purposes of restoring this replacement iPhone with the contents of the pre-replacement's backup.
1) Attached iPhone to my Mac Pro via USB
2) Right-clicked iPhone in iTunes Sidebar, chose "Restore from Backup…" and selected the previous iPhone's last backup
3) After the Restore was complete, I immediately went to the Apps tab and checked, "Sync Tabs". This is crucial in order to restore the third-party apps that were on the phone when it was Backed Up so that they will be associated with their data.
4) During this process, I also checked all the rest of the tabs, but only Podcasts, iTunes U and Photos synced successfully. All the others (Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes and Books) came up with an error message. Which one, I'm not sure, but probably the one that declares these tabs to be synced with another computer, and asks, "Do you want to erase this iPhone…". I'm confident it was, actually, because I recall thinking how daft it was that, right after a Restore from Backup, it was telling me that the iPhone was synced with another Mac. Madness…
After steps (1) through (4), my phone was back to its pre-replacement state (more or less, but let's not go there). Because there was still media I required to add to the phone, I unplugged the iPhone from the Mac Pro, and attached it to the Mac mini. When I attempted—purely as a troubleshooting measure—to sync the Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes and Books from the Mac mini, I received the following messages after ticking each checkbox, respectively:
With each dialogue box I clicked Cancel, because there was no content available to sync anyway.
So, neither of the two Macs that I own will sync Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes or Books with this iPhone without erasing existing content. Why? Having seen this, I went back to my Mac Pro with the iPhone, and attempted to sync Tones again. It asked:
That gave me hope, because it wasn't claiming to be about to delete "all existing songs, films and TV programmes" as it did on the Mac mini: just Tones. So, I hit "Apply". The result?
Not only that, but the Capacity guage at the bottom of the window indicated that I was about to lose 1.74GB of Audio data, despite the fact that the only tone on the iPhone amounted to less than 1MB in size.
Apple has created the most sadistic syncing system I've ever encountered, and the one most eager to delete a user's data.
Can someone please tell me how to make my iPhone sync the remaining unsynced tabs with the Mac Pro? This is the Mac that contains all my media, so the Mac mini is pointless even if it did work.
Caveats:
• Please, only offer genuinely tested solutions and not conjecture.
• Please, don't request I make any arbitrary changes that may lead to data loss, at least without good reasoning.
• Please, don't ask me to get in touch with iTunes Technical Support—down that avenue lies more incompetence than I can bear.
• AppleCare Telephone Support for my iPhone has expired, so please don't suggest I get in touch with them either.
Thanks

Clean up queue in SUN Messaging Server 6.3

I have a couple of SUN Messaging servers with each about a 1'000'000 e-mail messages in their queues.
The reason is one of our customers being infected with some trojan, and a firewall misconfiguration which allowed direct access to the SUN messagings servers (where we host our customers mailboxes) , rather then through the Postfix boxes with rate limiting, anti-spam and anti-virus scanning which they are supposed to use as outgoing SMTP servers. In short we were used as a SPAM relay. Grrr.
As you can image the queue is now filled with undeliverable e-mail and undeliverable bounces.
The question is simply can I safely delete the offending messages from the queue directory, because the imsimta qclean does a lousy job.
imsimta qclean -content=<IP-OFFENDER> -delete* found only 75'000 messages from which 20% was removed. A simple grep <IP-OFFENDER> found still thousand of messages in the queue.
Arg, by default imsimta qclean only scans message ID's found in it's own database which is limited in size (and much smaller then our actual queue size)
imsimta qclean -content=<IP-OFFENDER> -directory_tree -delete* scans the actual queue directory and found indeed over a million mail messages in the queue. After scanning for a couple of hours it removed 150'000 messages. Leaving about 85% of the spam mails untouched!
Is it safe to simply use a shell script to find and remove the messages in the queue directory and delete them? Or will that break SUN messaging servers internal queue handler?
TIA

In short we were used as a SPAM relay. Grrr.As an aside, Messaging Server 6.3 also offers rate-limiting capability (metermaid) and various anti-virus/anti-spam capability. I wrote up a general document about this at:
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Main_Page
As you can image the queue is now filled with undeliverable e-mail and undeliverable bounces. You are not the only forum person to hit such an issue recently:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5210669&messageID=9848719
The question is simply can I safely delete the offending messages from the queue directory, because the imsimta qclean does a lousy job. Yes. If the job_controller sees that the message has been deleted, it will simply remove the queued message from its cache and move on. Depending on your log level you may see an entry in the imta log file about this.. something along the lines of file <queue file> no longer exists.
imsimta qclean -content=<IP-OFFENDER> -delete* found only 75'000 messages from which 20% was removed. A simple grep <IP-OFFENDER> found still thousand of messages in the queue.
Arg, by default imsimta qclean only scans message ID's found in it's own database which is limited in size (and much smaller then our actual queue size)By default the job_controller will only keep a maximum of 100,000 messages in cache - a percentage of this is dedicated towards new emails and the rest is queued emails. This limit is to stop the job_controller consuming all your available RAM when you get hit by events such as this. The imsimta qclean uses this cache to search for messages -- which is vastly quicker then (re)scanning so many emails on disk.
The maximum is controlled by the MAX_MESSAGES job_controller.cnf parameter - discussed here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4428/6n6j425uh?l=en&a=view&q=max_messages
and here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4428/6n6j425v7?l=en&a=view#bgajv
imsimta qclean -content=<IP-OFFENDER> -directory_tree -delete* scans the actual queue directory and found indeed over a million mail messages in the queue. After scanning for a couple of hours it removed 150'000 messages. Leaving about 85% of the spam mails untouched! Well I can't explain this off-hand. I would need to try and reproduce the issue in-house with an example email that wasn't matched. What version of MS6.3 are you running (./imsimta version)?
btw. you can use the "-threads=<number from 1-8>" qclean command to speed up the scanning process by running multiple scanning threads.
Is it safe to simply use a shell script to find and remove the messages in the queue directory and delete them? Or will that break SUN messaging servers internal queue handler?Should be fine - once you have removed them though you may want to run:
./imsimta cache -sync
This will kick-off a re-sync of the job_controller cache so that the job_controller is better able to process the remaining emails (rather then hitting missing email after missing email).

Is there any impact chaning ip on sun messaging server?

Hi all,
I have configured and running two sun messaging servers MTA and MS.
e.g
MTA ip address - 192.168.10.1
MS ip address - 192.168.10.2
Is it possible to change ip address on these messaging servers to another ip range? Do I need to change any messaging config file after changing ip address?
Following is my messaging server version:
./imsimta version

802.1x peap mschap v2 with MAC Filter + IP Address Permanent

Hi my name is Ivan, i have an issue
I have one cisco wlc 5508 with ios 7.4.100 with a ssid is working with 802.1x peap mschap v2 with mac filter, and I need configure in the web page of the WLC Security > Mac Filter, a MAC and one IP Address permanent to the users.
I have a service dhcp into the wlc to this profile.
This configuration works fine for 3 or 4 days. At the fifth day , my users renew the ip address, and they can not surfing to internet, because in my firewall i have a policy to the users with exactly ip address, for example.
MAC Filter - IP Address A - UserA
My policy say:
PolicyUserA - Internet
Please, i can establish an filter mac associate to one ip address permanent to one user, when service dhcp in the cisco wlc is active?
I possible to do it?.
How can i do it?

Hi Ivan,
You can not map the mac-ip address pairs on the WLC DHCP.
The WLC has a limited DHCP server functionalities. You better to use an external DHCP server with full functionalities and then you can configure the DHCP server to provide the same IP address everytime to each client in your network.

Best way to use Sun Web Server connection pooling with Web Application?

I have a number of applications that run Oracle and MySQL queries via Sun Web Server 6.1. I use the Web Server's built-in connection pooling, which works fairly well.
As an interface with the connections I receive from the Web Server, I use a class, which (1) accepts the SQL and database name from a tool, (2) Opens the connection, runs the SQL, closes the connection, (3) puts the content of the result set into a Vector of Hashtables, (4) returns that Vector to the tool.
Why do I use this Vector? That way, in my applications, I don't have to deal with opening connections (or getting them from the pool) and I don't have to worry about closing connections, because that's done automatically by the interface class.
Is this a dumb approach to use? I'm a bit paranoid about open DB connections, because we have had a number of problems where connections would not be closed, go stale in oracle, and clog up the database resources.
Can you suggest a better way to (1) smartly control opening and closing connections, and (2) enabling fast database access?
Sorry, but given this Java/Sun Web Server double topic, I'm going to post the same message on the Web Server board.
Any tips?
dailysun
P.S. For instance, in my tool, I call the interface class in this manner:
Vector results_v = Database.getSelect("SELECT * FROM TEST","database1");
getSelect uses the first string as the SQL and the second string as the jndi name of the Web server's database resource. getSelect does all the context stuff to get a connection from the pool, runs the SQL, puts the resultset into a Vector of Hastables (where each row is one Hashtable), and returns the Vector.
