Tomcat Redirection through DNS Alias

Hi,
We've just upgraded from BOE XI 3.1 SP2 to SP6 FP 6.3 which also upgraded Tomcat 5 to Tomcat 7.
We used to access InfoViewApp using an alias in Tomcat 5. E.g https://wuinsights.wuintranet.net/
This site redirects to https://wuinsights.wuintranet.net/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp and displays the InfoView Login Page.
Since the upgrade to Tomcat 7, the redirection is not working anymore. It fails to load the page throwing the error: "Internet explorer cannot display the page."
Direct link to Tomcat however works fine i.e https://<servername>:8443/ redirects to https://<servername>:8443/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp (set on the ROOT folder using index.html)
We are not using Apache Redirector (httpd).
I've checked the old server.xml file but could not find any entry of wuinsights.wuintranet.net in the <HOST> or <Engine> parameters.
Ping, telnet to wuinsights.wuintranet.net resolves to the IP address of the Tomcat Server.
Could anyone please let me know where/which file do we set this redirection in Tomcat?
Appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Mingthingla Keishing

Hi,
Good to see you. If you were able to access your infoview page using https://wuinsights.wuintranet.net/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp it means your SSL port for the tomcat was 443.
Currently it is not working for you in tomcat 7 but https://<servername>:8443/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp works for you.
The issue is your tomcat 7 SSL port is 8443 which needs to be changed to 443. 8443 is the default SSL port for tomcat which needs to be changed manually.
This can be easily changed in server.xml.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Chinmaya

Apple Mail stopped today; server suddenly redirects through Yahoo

At about noon today my AppleMail stopped loading. Somehow the incoming server address got changed to redirect through Yahoo (I've never had a Yahoo acct), and the box is greyed-out so I can't change it. Frustrated. This has happened with three email addresses I use. Until a couple of hours ago the outgoing server was fine but now that won't even work. The computer has slowed down and is nearly unresponsive.

Thanks much.
I get a dialogue box that says Internet Account Preferences can't connect to the account. It asks for the password. When I type it in, I get a message Unable to Verify Account Name or Password. This happened on all three email addresses. There was no "Advanced" option to select. (I'm able to access all of my mail through Verizon's website; it's just Apple Mail that is the problem. It is very slow in responding in any direction: click on a folder and it takes many seconds to open; try to open a new blank message, it takes several seconds and then the curser sticks or doesn't work). All other applications are working okay but considerably slower than earlier today.
I made an appointment at the Genius Bar for tomorrow. Maybe this has something to do with Yosemite, but I downloaded that several days ago and it's been working well.

MBAM 2.5 SPN Issue with DNS alias and reporting

We have one server with administration and monitoring website and self-service portal setup on it. We have another server with the Databases and the reports running on it. When I initially set it up I set it up with a SPN that matched the host name. At this
point reporting worked.
We found that HTTP SPN that matches host/FQDN name ibreaks WINRM to the server (powershell remoting). See this: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/751307/psremoting-breaks-because-it-used-spn-name-with-class-http-instead-of-using-wsman
To fix that we created a DNS alias, mbam.ourdomain.com, and created http SPN's for that account mapped to our MBAM ID
When we did this we initially got stuck even logging on with single sign-on. we made a change to the endpoint address in the web.config and pointed it to the alias -- this resolved that issue.
However now when trying to open any one of the reports we get the resource can not be found http 404 error.
Is this fixable by changing something in a config file somewhere or do I need rebuild the servers and reinstall?

Yes, We set both of those. We also set the delegation for the apppooluser to "trust this user for delegation to any service".<o:p></o:p>
Today we uninstalled and reinstalled/configured IIS, the Administration and Monitoring website, and the self-service portal.<o:p></o:p>
We no longer get an error when clicking on one of the 3 reports. Instead it does nothing. If I choose to open it in another tab or window it
opens an about:blank page.<o:p></o:p>

DNS Alias not Updating on Communication Channel

Hi,
We use DNS Aliases when connecting to some of our servers. One interface connects to a server using FTP with alias FTPServer.
This FTPServer had a site switch over the weekend and the DNS Alias did not update in the communication channel. I had to ping the DNS Alias and put the server name into the CC to get the FTP to work.
Is there any way of getting PI 7.1 to refresh the DNS?
Thanks,
Gareth

Powershell : Checking DNS alias

Hi,
We have 2 servers, one production and one back-up. With a DNS alias everyone connects to the production server. When the backup server becomes operational we just need to change the DNS alias.
Now, I need a script for checking this DNS alias value.
When the DNS alias match with server A, then is this the production server and it must start some services again after a reboot. For server B is not allowed to start some services after reboot because he is the backup server. The necessary services
on both servers will be set on manually. When server B becomes the operational server, we change the DNS alias to server B and reboot both servers. Afterwards the services on server B will start and on server A don't.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here's a simple way you can test this:
$alias = 'CNAME'
$IP = (Test-Connection -ComputerName $alias -Count 1).IPV4Address.IPAddressToString
If ($IP -eq '10.10.10.10') { Write-Host "$alias is using PRODUCTION IP" -ForegroundColor Red }
Else { Write-Host "$alias is not using the production IP" }

DNS Alias to named instance

Hi, I have been recommended to create DNS aliases for the sql server instances so it be much more flexible for us to later migrated databases from server/instances to other server/instances... I really like this approach, but my SQL server consist of several
named intances, one for every service/application.
Its easy to create a dns alias for a server name, but is it even possible to create DNS aliases for each named instance?
And question two, is it possible to run all named instances on port 1433?
Thanks in advance.

Its easy to create a dns alias for a server name, but is it even possible to create DNS aliases for each named instance?
A DNS entry will resolve the host name to an IP address, but the instance name (or port number) will still need to be specified in client connection strings. This will allow you to move a named instance to a different server without changing client
connection strings as long as you retain the same instance name (or port number if you use a port number instead of instance name).
For example, if you have 2 named instances on SERVERA named INSTANCE1 and INSTANCE2, you could create DNS records INSTANCE1.EXAMPLE.COM and INSTANCE2.EXAMPLE.COM both pointing to SERVERA. The client connection string will still need to specify
the instance name (e.g. INSTANCE1.EXAMPLE.COM\INSTANCE1 and INSTANCE2.EXAMPLE.COM\INSTANCE2). That would allow you to move a named instance to different host transparently with only a DNS change (e.g. move INSTANCE1 to SERVERB and change INSTANCE1.EXAMPLE.COM
to point to SERVERB.
And question two, is it possible to run all named instances on port 1433?
No (assuming the same IP address). Each instance on a host must listen on a different port number. It is ultimately the IP address and port number that uniquely identify an instance.

My domain add WWW will redirect to DNS server's Domain, IE works ok,What's the reason

I have a website, and I had added both @ and WWW A record on host. I set the domain as the home page, They all work ok in IE, WWW failed work in Firefox. What are the reasons?
//My domian is http://www.hey-deals.com, hey-deals.com works fine, but http://www.hey-deals.com cannot work in Firefox! It redirect to DNS server's domain, how to set?
Thanks!

I have Windows capability but have never used it. I can't imagine anyone using anything other than Pages for Word Processing, etc. I use Safari and Firefox for Browsing. I use Safari primarily and Firefox occassionally. I have not used Internet Explorer for years and years. In fact, I was sort of surprised when I learned that some people do still use Internet Explorer.
I wasn't sure whether or not there was an Ultra-Safe way to go about checking to discover whether or not Apple Users had to worry about a problem with this particular bug.
Although there IS a link provided in the Denver Post's on-line version of this particular news article, I hated to click on a strange link - even if it was provided by the local newspaper. It is just as easy for the local newspaper to be fooled by bogus links as it is for anyone else to be fooled.
My understanding from friends is that there are a whole lot of local newspapers - all across the country - who are currently running this news article - or an article very similar to it.
So it would seem to me that a whole lot of Apple users all across the country might suddenly be wondering whether or not they have anything to worry about - and whether or not there was an Ultra-Safe way for Apple users to check all of this out.
I contacted my service provider about this issue but, so far, have not heard anything back from them.
Thanks for the response.
Sincerely,
Hannah

DNS alias name for portal server

Hi
I am using sun ONE portal server 6.2. We have added the DNS alias for the hostname in the DNS server for the portal server.
I have added this alias hostname configuration in
a. organizational alias name of the amconsole
b.Have modified the gateway.virtualhost name parameter in the /etc/opt/SUNWps/platform.conf.default file.
Kindly let me know if I have to add to any other places as we are using SUN ONE webserver, application server, IM server.
Waiting for your reply
Best Regards
Ramkumar Raghavan

you also might need to add an entry into /opt/SUNWam/lib/AMConfig.properties and add a FQDN entry for your new dns alias.

Login Redirection through SYSTEM application

Hi,
I'm using the standard SYSTEM application to perform the Login redirection. The redirection works fine in normal cases. However I face problems when I pass some parameters in my original URL.
Consider my app URL is: http://testsystem/sap/bc/bsp/sap/test/default.htm?bookid=1000                                               During login this gets redirected to url /sap/public/bsp/sap/system/login.htm?sap-url=<%=PATHTRANS%>
The login happens here, but after that, the parameter "bookid" got removed from the original URL.
Why does this happen?
Is this the standard system behaviour? Or am I missing something?
How else can I pass parameters to the URL while still retaining the login redirection through SYSTEM application?
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
I'm successful passing parameters with the code mentioned in /people/eddy.declercq/blog/2005/11/15/enemy-of-the-state

DNS Alias Wildcard?

Hello.
Is it possible to create a DNS Alias Wildcard?
For example, a DNS alias record something like *.mydomain.com?
Regards,
Kristin.

The GUI won't let you do this, for sure. You can edit the zone files directly but I'd almost guarantee that the GUI would overwrite the file (thereby deleting the wildcard) if you edit the zone. If you don't edit the specific zone (i.e. you edit other zones, but leave this one alone) you should be OK.
There is no easy way to lock out users from editing specific zones via the GUI. You may have to setup some kind of monitoring to alert you when the zone file changes and your wildcard disappears.

Change from Actual Host Name to a DNS alias

Here is our current standalone Oracle Application Server 10g configuration:
Platform
UNIX Owner = ora10g (all services run from this account)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4
All services run from this host
Database version 10.2.0.4.0
Infrastructure
Version = 10.1.2.3
Installation Type Identity Management
OHome = /ins01_app01/oracle/oraInfra
UNIX Owner = ora10g
MiddleTier
Version = 10.1.2.3
Installation Type = Business Intelligence and Forms
OHome = /ins01_app01/oracle/oraMidtier
Only two mid tier components contain apps we use:
Discoverer Viewer (integrated with EBS) and OC4J_Portal (for Web Services).
I’m new at this so please bear with me. I want to change the URL from the actual host name to a DNS alias. For example, the current URL for Discover Viewer:
https://actualhost.dom.com/discoverer/viewer
I want to change the URL to use a DNS alias, such as this:
https://devhost.dom.com/discoverer/viewer
I have reviewed the following documentation on how I might accomplish this task:
Oracle® Application Server Administrator's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
Chapter 8 Changing Network Configurations
8.2.2 Changing the Hostname, Domain Name, or IP Address of a Middle-Tier Installation
ID 734821.1 - chgiphost.sh Fails with java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError Can't find library pass (libpass.so or .so) in
sun.boot.library.path or java.library.path
However, there are some questions I want to resolve before proceeding:
1) Am I on the correct path with section “8.2.2 Changing the Hostname”
2) How can I confirm the middle-tier instance is registered with Oracle Internet Directory and therefore must supply the orcladmin password during this procedure.
3) Are there any specific to our installation that I might be missing.
Thanks,
Pat

1. Yes you are on the right track.
2. You can confirm by going to AS Control Console for Midtier; click on Infrastructure link, among the top left links; and see which OID it points to.
3. you seem to be having it all.

Redirection through Apache

We have an application which is deployed on Weblogic 7.0 SP2, the application has
to be accessed through Apache server, so the request first goes to Apache and
then redirects it to WLS, but if somebody directly accesses the WLS server then
also he can access the application, I do not want any one to directly access
the WLS but all requests should be routed through Apache server. If someone accesses
the WLS directly then he should be redirected through Apache, is there some way
if this could be acheived by updating some configuration file.

Take a look at WLS connection filter: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/secmanage/domain.html#1107380

Impossible to access File server shares using a DNS alias

I am currently testing migration scenarios to replace 2 standalone W2K3 File Servers into 1 W2K8R2 Failover Cluster.
Everything went very well, shares are well accessible as long as I use the new File Server names, but...
... when I try to use DNS aliases (of the old servers), It is getting a nightmare!
First, each time I tried to to connect to the shares using the alias name \\tempsf\ I got an error message prompting for Duplicate name on the network.
I solved this first issue by applying the DisableStrictNameChecking
reg key (see below). The Duplicate name error message disappeared and I was able to access to the \\tempsf\ folder but it was empty however I have 2 shares well displayed when accessing it through the real file server name. Moreover, I confirm that :
ping tempsf resolves correctly the real file server name and IP
nslookup tempsf do the same
net view \\realfileserver displays my 2 shares
net view \\tempsf doesn't display anything :-(
Then, I almost tried everything currently documented :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new DWORD value called DisableStrictNameChecking and set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new Multi-String value called OptionalNames. Enter one or more aliases, one per line.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new DWORD value called DisableLoopBackCheck and set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 Add a new Multi-String Value BackConnectionHostNames. Enter one or more aliases, one per line.
And also the SETSPN:
setspn -A host/<your_ALIAS_name> <ServerrName>
setspn -A host/<your_ALIAS_name.domain.com> <ServerNname>
But still nothing... Launch date is approaching, I am feeling so desperate...
Any idea? please... Thanks in advance,
Max
PS : Ahh yes, one more thing, we are using a third-party DNS here (Infoblox) but I don't think it could be the issue.

Hello,
Configure my new File Server (new name, new IP)
Shutdown the old File Server
Map the mirrored SAN disk to the new File Server
Mount Storage and create shares (previously exported from old FS)
Update Alias to point to point to new FS (in Infoblox)
Update Reg keys, setspn and netdom as explained above
Try access. Shares well displayed when using new FS name but nothing when using updated alias despite dns resolution is ok.
I also found the following doc :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2009/01/09/file-share-scoping-in-windows-server-2008-failover-clusters.aspx?PageIndex=2#comments which explain precisely the way the W2K8R2 File Servers are working but without giving any solution to my issue.
Your doc was interesting but didn't help :-(
Anyone else ? Thanks

Apache + JK + Tomcat: Redirecting specific URL to a servlet

Hi, everybody!
I'm searching for a solution to my question for some time, but didn't find anything clear enough.
So, my situation is:
I have Apache 2.2 and Tomcat installed on my server. Apache is using JK Connector to send request to Tomcat.
What do I need:
I have a servlet that could be accessed through "http://mydomain.com/site/*". I can access, through this servlet, any of the site's sections. Like http://mydomain.com/site/news, http://mydomain.com/site/movies or http://mydomain.com/site/tech.
I need to figure out a way of pointing one URL to each of these sections, but without changing the user URL. In other words, I have the domains www.mynews.com, www.mymovies.com and www.mytech.com, and would like that each one of these domains redirect to their respective servlet.
So, is there a way of accomplish this task?
Thank you,
CaioToOn!

Hi!
I'm already mapping the final part of the URL. eg: "news", "tech".
What I need is a way of mapping a domain to a sub-url, but avoiding changes on the user's browser url.
I'm searching for a few days on the Tomcat manual, Apache manual and forums, but nothing like what I need 'til now. I'm still searching, but if someone there already know, I'll be very happy! I got kind of urgency.
Thank you, again!
CaioToOn!

Migrating Users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 Without redirection through exchange 2013.

We have all our users and mailboxes on Exchange 2007 and I have introduced two Exchange 2013 servers in my organization and both have mailbox and CAS server installed on them.
With Exchange 2007 server, I had not modified any of the internal and external url/uri and had stayed with the defaults.
For migration most of the documents are suggesting of changing the default internal URL and Auto Discover Service internal URI values.
In my case, I want to migrate all the users and mailbox (everything that is on Exchange 2007) form 2007 to 2013 and decommission exchange 2007 completely from our organization.
I am in the phase of transferring users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and do not want to change any settings on the existing 2007 servers.
I have created new dns entry mailx.abc.com with two IPs of both exchange 2013 and changed the Outlook Anywhere internal URL on both Exchange 2013 server to mailx.abc.com.
So by doing these, I think all existing clients will still connect to exchange 2007 and after moving their mailbox they will be connect to exchange 2013.
In short I am not redirecting or using 2013 as proxy for 2007 clients and clients whose mailbox is on exchange 2013 will directly connect to 2013 server.
Questions are, Is this the right way to migrate all the users to Exchange 2013?
Will it affect the operation of existing Exchange 2007 server?

Read the below blog on Client Connectivity in Exchange co-existence. There can't be better blog than this on this topic.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
Clients connect to Exchange from Internal-Outlook, External-Outlook, Web & Active Sync.
For Internal the configuration that you have mentioned should work as clients would get Autodiscover information from Active Directory (SCP) and get connected to right server.
However, for external connectivity it makes sense to use External URL on Exchange 2013 servers (keep the Exchange exposed to Internet), configure legacy URL for exchange 2007 and use Exchange 2013 external URL for mailboxes that are Exchange 2007 and Exchange
2013 for standardization.
