Using iChat to communicate with Pidgin users on a Citrix Presentation Serve

We have been using iChat on OS X and Pidgin on Windows XP in our environment for several months now. We use Bonjour as the protocol so it makes for a very lightweight easy, inexpensive IM solution on our network (no server component needed).
I hadn't noticed it before today, but I was communicating with a Pidgin user who was using a Citrix Presentation Server login (running Pidgin within that session), and the name that iChat displayed as the person I was talking to was not the actual person that was talking to me. iChat was displaying a different user who was also using Pidgin in another current session on the Citrix box. If I fired up Pidgin on my XP virtual machine and ran Pidgin from there, the user name is identified properly.
So it appears that iChat is tying the user name of the IM session to the IP address and then looking it up from the list, which results in a random mis-identification of the IM user on the Citrix session. BTW, there was a Bonjour update a few days ago, it may actually be Bonjour rather than iChat itself. Anyone have any suggestions, ideas, bug fixes?

I have no new info on this.
It does seem a bit odd.
Note:
By default Bonjour broadcasts and receives data on port 5353 on UDP Protocol to let other Macs know it is there (Linked to mDNSResponder in Activity Monitor).
See here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
It may pay to try and check Pidgen and the Mac are using the same ports.

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

I use to use ichat and now with mountain lion i only have facetime. i try to keep in touch with my family thru the old ichat, will facetime work as easiely ? is it easy to connect with this app? thanks, gilbert

I use to use ichat and now with Mountain Lion I only have FaceTime, will this work as easy as ichat? I try to keep in touch with my son and his family, he has a Mac also. I have never tried to do a video chat with my new Mountain Lion. I have set-up FaceTime and thought I would throw the question out before we try and get together. Thanks, Gilbert

Ichat is now called Messages and is in your Applications folder.

DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on DPM 2010 SERVER because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)

Hi everyone,
Backup jobs for protected members are intermittently failing with the following error on the DPM server:
DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on <DPM 2010 SERVER> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)
Why does the DPM server failing to see it's own DPM agent cause the backup job for another server to fail? One day a backup will work fine, the next it may fail; and the next back to normal again...
The following error is recorded in the Service Control Manager event log on the DPM server just prior to the above error:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the DPMRA service to connect.
Thank you.
With regards,
Rob

Hello,
I have read these entire postings and see that my problems match most of the above problems.
I believe we have tried all of the ideas in this blog and lots of other ideas from other forums and internet searches.
We have about 80 small databases protected and set at 15 minute incremental and most will work but some fail. When they fail the most common, but not only error, is something like "DPM
failed to communicate with the protection agent on <DPM 2010 SERVER> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)". The alert is inactivated in the DPM Console, and the backups resume as normal."
Since later jobs are successful I thought all was well. All was well until I went to restore from incremental backups. We worked for two days (day and night work) to restore
from a corrupted virtual disk on our SQL Server 2008 R2. I suspect DPM had something to do with the corrupted virtual disk. All I know is that we never had this problem until installing DPM. Here is what we encountered when we went to restore
from the protection points:
* Restore jobs take a minimum of 15 minutes for jobs that are 45 MB or 2 GB.
* If you pick a backup from the list of recovery points that is not valid the job runs for 15 minutes and then "Failed".
* You cannot rerun the job because SQL Server 2008 has the table being recovered as <tablename> (recovering) and a retry will not work. Of course time is wasted while waiting
to see if it worked.
* Eventually you realize that even after dropping the table in the (recovering) mode in SQL that the restore point must be bad or possibly one of this failed recovery points.
* So begins the quest to start restoring recovery points one by one and 15 minutes by 15 minutes until you find one that actually restores to a SQL Instance.
* If you have 80 of these to do and you average trying three recovery points and each takes 15 minutes, not to mention the time to drop the table in SQL, well that time adds up to 3,600
minutes of trial and error. 60 hours of trial and error, wow not much of a savings using DPM over a SQL backup plan.
* And then you have to explain to your customers that their databases were restored but you do not know at what point the DB was restored.
All in all it seems like DPM concept is great but like many backups the backup plan looks good on paper but actually restoring a backup is quite a different matter.
I don't know if anyone has ever solved the problems presented in this forum but if they have then I wish they would post and if no one has solved the problem then shame on DPM.
Good luck everyone, but I for one have spent about two months on trying to protect and restore consistently. I have never had one day of consistent and reliable restore points. I
am going back to sql management plans for my backups. I have never, in 10 years had a sql generated backup fail me. Never.

Outlook 2010 using Citrix Presentation server does not save mail profile, O365 Mailbox

We had on-premise exchange 2003 mailboxes which have been migrated to O365. Some users access their mailboxes(O365) using Outlook 2010 which is published using Citrix Presentation server 4.5. The AD accounts TS profile is pointing to \\%computername%\Tprofiles\template.man
These users used outlook 2003 with this config with the on premise Exchange 2003 server and it saved the outlook profile. After outlook 2010 is configured to connect to the users O365 mailbox all is fine until the user logs off and logs back in, the profile
setting is lost and has to re-setup. I should mention that Outlook does not auto discover the users mailbox but is able to if the outlook wizard is run either from desktop or RDP however that is not a concern unless these two are related
issues. I am not sure if the issue is with Citrix ( I am not a Citrix admin) and some configuration fine tuning needs to happen on that front or the issue is somewhere else, setting up a roaming profile is kind of ruled out since this was not needed
with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003.
What would be the best way to get this working ? any help will be appreciated.

It seems that deploying a PRF file is best based on the research as well as some of the links which Amy shared. Users are using Outlook 2010 using the /importprf switch however with outlook 2010 the " Encrypt data between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft
Exchange" is enabled by default this causes some of the users to be continuously prompted for authentication, I was able to manually fix the issue by disabling "Encrypt data between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange"
Sorry cannot post images or link yet as my account is not verified...
We can't do this manually but want to modify the PRF file to disable this. So far the only documentation referring to this is for Outlook 2003 to
enable this, it was disabled by default with this version of outlook.
It is found at
support.microsoft.com/kb/2006508
Add "http://" to the link
From this document I now know the setting is labelled - RPCEncryptData
Which needs to be changed under the
[ServiceEGS]
and
[Exchange Global Section]
But I have no clue what values will disable it, anyone knows what values will disable it ? help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Using iChat to interact with Twitter

I'm a Twitterholic and love using Twitterrific but Twitter has recently added tracking which outputs to SMS or IM only. Since Twitterrific doesn't support this new feature I've tried the Twitter IM bot on iChat. I've abandoned the Twitter IM bot before because of it's spotty and one way service. Now I'm wondering if maybe there's something wrong on my end.
Anyone else having problems interfacing with Twitter IM bot? When it works, I can change my status and send it commands but I have yet to receive a direct posting from it. Wondering what other people's results were.

I've chatted with the Twitter devs and they have admitted that AIM support is not really solid yet. It's on their list of features to fix, but for now they recommend that I use a Jabber account to communicate with the Twitter IM bot. I did this, using Gmail, and I can attest that there is a world of difference between bot support through Jabber versus AIM. Tracking works like a charm, as do notifications and direct tweets. If you don't want to run Twitterrific, or would rather just do it all through iChat and have less taxing your CPU, then set up Jabber in iChat using your Gmail address. I've been very pleased with the results. It's been rock solid as opposed to the spotty, buggy performance through AIM.
All the best

Can I use iChat to chat with people on other platforms, e.g. yahoo etc?

Dear all
Can I use iChat to chat to people on other platforms e.g. yahoo, aol, gmail, jabber etc? For example, I have just managed to sign into iChat with Gmail (had to resort to this because iChat won't let me log-on with my Mobile Me name), but now it seems iChat will only let me add other Gmail users? Surely there is a way to log in with Gmail but chat with people on other platforms?
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,
Since iChat 4 you have been able to log in to as many AIM or Jabber IDs as you have set up.
In Lion (iChat 6) they become a combined Buddy list.

IChat not connecting with most users

Hi, I'm running Tiger and having trouble connecting to anyone but other Tiger users. I can't connect to PC users and I can also not connect, most importantly, with my dad who uses Panther.
As an error, it says at my end that the other computer is unavailable or unreachable something like that and then at their end it says that I canceled my request. Strange, no doubt.
I changed the Quicktime settings and did everything else in accordance with this thread, including opening the proper firewall ports (i have also tried with firewall off), I have no iChat add-ins and I connect to the internet directly to my cable modem. I had no problems under Panther.
I have an up/down speed of 187Kbps/339Kbps, according to a test I just ran. Also, my dad, the one I really want to talk to, connects with a modem, so i thought maybe his connection was just too pokey to handle it (even though it used to work fine for us), but I have the same problem with broadband users.
I have had this problem with every incarnation of 10.4.x

My dad was online tonight so I had a chance to test it out...
just says
"there was a communication error during your chat"
somewhere down in the report it says it ended with error -8
here's the first header

How to use your own database with your users to authenticate in a Web app?

Hello, everybody!
I'm starting to write my first web application and I'm going to use JSF, JPA and EJB3 in this application. One of the first things that I have to do on it is the authentication part where I'll have a page with a user name and a password for the user to login. So, as I'm new to all this in Java (I've already implemented this on .NET in the past), I was studying the Java EE 5 Tutorial, especifically the section "Example: Using Form-Based Authentication with a JSP Page". But I saw that the users that the sample application uses come from the file realm on the Application Server. The users are created there and assigned a name, a password and a group. After the users are in the Application Server we can simply uses forms authentication declaratively in the deployment descriptor (web.xml).
But the problem is that this doesn't work to me as I already have my own database with my users, so I want to use it instead of having to create the users on the Application Server.
So, I'm asking you how to do that. Of course I'm not expecting that you place the code here to me as I know that such a thing could be complicated. Instead, I'm asking if you know about some tutorial, article, book or something that teaches how to do what I want. But I would like to see theses examples using JSF and/or EJB3 because these are the technologies that I'm using to develop. It's a pity that the Java EE 5 Tutorial doesn't have an example using a custom database as I know that this situation is very common in the majority of web sites.
Thank you very much.
Marcos

From memory, it goes like this... You just create a
raw jdbc connection on your user database using a
special "login" DB user account, which has
permissions only to an "authenticate" stored query,
which accepts two arguments: username & password, and
returns a boolean 0 or 1 rows found.When I implemented this in .NET's ASP.NET I had the same solution. I had an special user created in the database that I used to log in. When the real user entered his username and password I was already logged in and I had just to check his username and password agains the right table in my database.
But that was only possible bacause when I connected to the database using my hidden user, I used the rights APIs in ASP.NET that coordinate the authentication process. This means that before login in, no one could access any resources (pages, atc...). So what I'm saying is that I can't manager this manually in Java. Java has to have some API or whatever to allow me to control the login process programmatically, while letting the Application Server control the access to the resources.

How can I use Voip to communicat with my voice in Labview

i want to be able to call my computer using Voip. I know this service
cost money. I dont just want to call the computer, i want to call
labview and all labview to have access to my voice, so i can do speech
commands on it.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I would like to apologize for the delay in responding to your support request. I understand that you would like to use Voip capabilities to access your computer remotely and then communicate with LabVIEW using speech recognition.
I know of a LabVIEW example file that describes the voice recognition capabilities of LabVIEW. Also, there is a link to example programs within this database entry. To access the entry, go to the National Instruments support portal: http://niweb2.natinst.com/ae/portal.htm and search for �voice recognition LabView.� Click the first entry in the list: �Voice Recognition in LabVIEW - Example - Development Library - National Instruments.� You will be able to find helpful information here.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if I can help you further. Have a great day!
Kind Regards,

Switch/Router can only use PAP to communicate with IAS

I was securing my switches to allow users to login using radius and notice that I have to set the IAS server to PAP for the Cisco equipment to authenticate. Is there an alternative to this since PAP is clear text.

When using SSH to the switch for switch based authentication you need to
enable PAP on the Radius policy.
Telnet/SSH work on PAP only.

IChat cannot communicate with iMessages using Bonjour.

We are trying to setup an iChat system in our office, but having trouble with compatibility between iChat and iMessages, specifically when using Bonjour. A Bonjour List can open and shows buddies, but when we try to chat between computers running 10.8 and above and those running 10.75 and below, it won't work. Please advise.

Hi,
This was using Bonjour.
I have used AIM and Jabber accounts across them as well in separate tests.
I am the Admin on all three computers.
when I set them up I used "Ralph Johns" as the User name.
As a consequence all three were names as "Ralph Johnss Computer" when looking in System Preferences > Sharing. (yes certain OS versions do silly things with names that end in s)
Sine ce then I have made sure they have different names so that they appear in the Shares in the finder.
The G4 tower is in fact "Ralph G4", the iMac is "Ralph's iMac" and the MacBook Pro is "Ralph's MacBook Pro" which also distinguishes it from my son's MacBook Pro ("xxxxxxxx's MacBook Pro").
That is to say that each computer has it's Own Name to use with Bonjour as well as it User logged in to the Mac having his or her own My Card in the Address book or Contacts app.
As I said (well I hinted really) I have also tested in Tiger (the G4 used to have multiple boots up until recently.)
Although Text Chatting is fine Video and Audio chats are more difficult.
In the testing I did do before the drive failed I always had to Video Chat Calling from the Tiger end (G4)
I have seen people report issues when using an Address Book held on a Server where the My Card is then generic.
I do not know enough about Server sets up s to help resolve that.
Try posting in the Server Communities.
