Virtual directory in iplanet web server 4.1

Hi
We are new to iplanet web server4.1 .we need to run the jsp files from
weblogic 5.1.we have done the following configuration
1)changed the obj.conf file as per documents in weblogic.
2)changed the mime types for jsp from magnus-internal/jsp to text/jsp .
3)i have created a virtual directory with url prefix as "ashish" and Legacy
JSP directory as
"c:/weblogic/myserver/public_html/jspfiles"
4)i have file test.jsp with the path as
"c:/weblogic/myserver/public_html/jspfiles/test.jsp"
5)in the browser i give the path as http://atg/ashish/test.jsp where atg is
machine name.now the problem is instead of looking for the file as
"c:/weblogic/myserver/public_html/jspfiles/test.jsp"
it look as "c:/weblogic/myserver/public_html/jspfiles/ashish/test.jsp"
because of this it does not find the file .
6)if i create ashish folder in c:/weblogic/myserver/public_html/jspfiles
then it finds the file.
what is the problem .???
also on obj.conf file i have written as
Service method="(GET|HEAD|POST|PUT)" type="text/jsp" fn="wl-proxy"
WebLogicHost="192.168.100.78" WebLogicPort="7001"
i have omitted pathprepend directive above.
Any ideas for this problem.What is the concept of virtual directory which is
there in Internet Information Server.
Thanks in advance

Virtual Directory for app web server

I have a web application that runs over Windows 2000 advanced server, does anybody know how can i change the address, i.e.: http://localhost:8080/servlet/eureka to http://localhost or http://something ?
I have j2re 1.3 and java plug-in .
Thanks

in order to run http://localhost with out specifying port number, you need to set your server port to 80 (which is an official http port) in the configuraton file. I don't know what kind of server you are using. If you use Tomcat, you need to modify your server.xml file from 8080 to 80.

Can iDSIE (Meta-directory) be used as a single authentication point from iPlanet Web Server for multiple databases using direct "or" indirect connectors?

Basically, the latest release of iPlanet Web Server forces the user/group information source to be an LDAP database. Currently, the user accounts are in Active Directory, NT, Oracle and NetWare Directory Service in this heterogeneous environment.
What I am looking for is a meta-directory product which can do two things:
1-Single authentiation point for users in mulitple databases from iPlanet Web Server.
2-Single administration point for all of the databases listed above.
For example, can I add/modify/delete a user account at the meta-directory level and have this propagate to all of the databases listed above reducing the administration to one meta-directory product?

With an Virtual Directory solution, you can authenticate Iplanet Web Server against nearly anything including any LDAPv3 Directory Server, Microsoft Active Directory, Windows NT Domains, Oracle RDBMS, IBM DB2 RDBMS, Microsoft SQL, and others.
All of this is done dynamically and doesn't require any heavyweight synchronization process. The Virtual Directory acts as a dynamic schema / DIT / data translation engine for different types of repositories.
OctetString's Virtual Directory Engine is one such example. You can download a 30 day evaluation copy at:
http://www.octetstring.com
It will take you all of 30 minutes to get iPlanet Web Server authenticated against and using groups from things like Oracle RDBMS, Windows NT Domains, or Active Directory.

Installing Iplanet web server and directory server behind a firewall

When installing iplanet web server and directory server behind a firewall - should the interal ip address be used or the external ip address?

Hello,
When you are installing iplanet web server behind a firewall,you should use the internal ip address in the firewall.
1. The external ip address connection to the Internet. The type of IP address used?dynamic (commonly used for standard
modems) or static (commonly used for cable modems) is dictated by the ISP to which you connect and the type of service it provides.
2. The internal ip adress connection. This connection must be a static IP assignment, and it must be assigned by you.
obviously it depends on the type of firewall setup you have.

Calling servlet problem in iPlanet web server.

Hello, friends.
I have installed iPlanet web server 6.0. After installation I am using the default virtual server only. Thus, for all testing pages also, I use the default Document Root only (C:\iplanet\servers\docs\testsite) (I think, here "docs" is the default document root, right? If I am wrong, please correct me). I have got 2 JSP pages and 1 servlet. I put the JSP pages, into "testsite" folder and put the servlet into a folder called "myservlets" (C:iplanet\servers\docs\myservlets).
The jsp1.jsp page calls the servlet.class and in return the servlet redirects to jsp2.jsp page.
My question is: what paths should I use in jsp1.jsp file and in servlet.class file?
Thanks in Advance for all your help,
~ Nirav

There is a major security breach in authenticating
iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP3 and SP4 using Sun ONE
Directory Server. Using a valid user id, any
password except null string would allow user access
the restricted resources. iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP5
and 4.1 SP12 worked fine with similar configuration.Did you get an answer for this?
We are having the exact same problems with our iPlanet Web server 6.0 SP3.
thank you.

Deploying war files on iplanet web server 6.0

Hello All,
I tried to deploy an war file on iplanet web server 6.0 using both command line wdeploy and iplanet webserver browser based admin tool. Both the times it did say successfully deployed. I checked the WEB-INF files and it does contain all class files..But the problem is when I try to post a form to one of the class files the error log says as if it cannot find the class file.(I tried the sample app HelloWorld supplied by vendor)
=========
05/Mar/2002:13:19:14] config (13777): for host xx.xx.xx.xx trying to POST /samples/helloworld/GreeterServlet, handle-processed reports: The request method is not applicable to this requested resource.
=================
any help in this regards is appreciated
Thanks

Hello,
I got few steps to deploy the WAR file, if you followed the same steps and got the error then ignore this else try with this steps.
a) Set your environment variable IWS_SERVER_HOME to your server_root directory.
b) Add the server_root/bin/https/httpsadmin/bin directory to your classpath.
c) Configure your virtual server for web applications.
From the Server Manager page, select the VirtualServerClass tab, select a Class, and click the Manage button.
Select a Virtual Server and go to the Java Web Apps Settings page for that virtual server. Make sure that the virtual server has Web Apps State turned On, and web-apps.xml is the name of Web Apps File.
To extract the sample WAR file HelloWorld.war in server_root/plugins/servlets/examples/web-apps/HelloWorld, use the wdeploy command as follows:
wdeploy deploy -u /hello -i server.iplanet.com -v testvs -d
/iws60/https-server.mydomain.com/testvs/web-apps/hello
/iws60/plugins/servlets/examples/web-apps/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.war
The syntax for the command is as follows:
wdeploy deploy -u uri_path -i instance -v vs_id [-d directory] war_file
uri_path Specify the URI prefix (a path to access the web application from the browser).
instance Specify the server instance name. (Note: Do not include "https" in the front.)
vs_id Specify the Virtual Server name as it appears on the Manage Virtual Servers page.
directory Specify a directory to extract WAR files. If this directory doesn't exist already, it will be created for you now.
war_file Specify the name of the WAR file.
If the WAR file is extracted successfully, the message "web application deploy successful" appears at the command line.
For verification, go to the /iws60/https-server.iplanet.com/testvs/web-apps/hello directory. It should have the following contents:
colors
index.jsp
META-INF
WEB-INF/
web.xml
/classes/
HelloWorldServlet.class
HelloWorldServlet.java
SnoopServlet.class
SnoopServlet.java
In the server_instance/config directory, the web-apps.xml file should have the following entry:
<vs>
<web-app uri="/hello"
dir="/iws60/https-server.iplanet.com/testvs/web-apps/hello"/>
</vs>
Restart the server instance from the command line or go to the admin GUI and apply configuration changes to the server instance.
Now when you access the webserver instance in your browser, the Error log of that server instance will record successful initialization of the web application environment(web-apps.xml) for the virtual server(vs name). You can access the web application from a browser as follows:
http://server.Mydomain.com:80/hello/index.jsp
or:
http://server.Mydomain.com/hello/
The syntax is as follows:
http://vs_urlhost[:vs_port]/uri_path/[index_page]

Using Struts Example in IPlanet web Server 6.0

Hai
     i am new to struts and i was trying to run the example application shiped along with the binary distribution
     in iplanet webserver 6.0.
     I have extracted the struts-example.war file in to a folder named strutsexamples under my iplanetdocroot\servers\docs\ Using the
     link DeployWebApplications in the admin side of the iplanet application.
     By doing the above steps all the example files are extracted in to the folder iplanetdocroot\servers\docs\strutsexamples directory .

Hi,
Already solved the problem, only needed the charset for JAVA.
Anyway for future reference for others re internationalization in iPlanet...
1. Place your resource bundles in <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/classes/
2. Place your i18n tag library (as for me it is taglibs-i18n.tld) in <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/
3. Place your i18n API (as for me it is taglibs-i18n.jar) in <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/lib if it is a jar file, else <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/classes.
4. Add taglib element in your web deployment descriptor file (web.xml):
<taglib>
     <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/taglibs-i18n.tld</taglib-uri>
     <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/taglibs-i18n.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
NOTE:
Make sure the DTD reference for your web.xml points to http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd. Old version was http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd. Please update your application to use the new name.
5. Add the following to the JVM classpath in SUNONE:
5.a. <path to your JRE lib>/charsets.jar (for charsets for JAVA)
5.b. <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/classes/ (directory where your resource bundles are)
6. Restart the instance.
This will work either for pre-compiled and uncompiled jsps.
Hope this will help.
my 2 cents,

JDBC persistence of session data not working on iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2

I am using windows 2000.
iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2
I tried to do jdbc persistence for sessiondata.
Somehow it didn't work.
I edited the JdbcStore code and added some system.outs in it.
From the logs I could note that
It is going into
JdbcStore.init(Properties config)//when the server starts up
JdbcStore.reap(long currentTime) //when the server is brought down
But it is not going into
JdbcStore.save(IWSHttpSession session)
JdbcStore.remove(IWSHttpSession session)
JdbcStore.load(IWSHttpSession session)
I did a "select count(*) from sessions" and it got me
no of rows=0.
The logs contained
[06/Mar/2002:11:25:09] info ( 552): IWSSessionManager: Maximum number of sessions is 1000
[06/Mar/2002:11:25:10] info ( 552): IWSSessionManager: Maximum number of sessions is 1000
[06/Mar/2002:11:25:14] info ( 552): JdbcStore: initialized with url=jdbc:odbc:LocalServer, driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
So I should think it was working.
The pages that are using HttpSession are working ok but should I not get some rows in my table "sessions" when I query?
This is the webapps.xml I used.

I'm trying to do the same thing with a file store, also somewhat unsuccessfully. However, one thing I can point out is that the manual says that the <session-manager> element should be within the <web-app> element in web-apps.xml. In your example, it is outside of it.

The requests are not passing through to the app server when i try to access it through port 80.
Presently I am testing my appln over port 81 on the app server.

Each ObjectType and Service directive should begin on a new line. You appear to have placed two directives on a single line.

SSL implementation on iplanet web server 6.0

Hi,
we've successfully implemented verisign SSL certificate on iplanet web server 6.0 and we have configured the a parent directory to non-ssl class and the a sub directory to the ssl-class. when we tried to run a JSP page, we are getting an error that the page is not found.
if both are configured for the same directory (ie.. the parent directory then its working fine)....
can anybody tell me what went wrong with the implementation...
thanks in advance,
regards
Ramachandran

How did you configure one directory use ssl and another director not? Are you using only one listener?
I would like to configure my iws to work like this:
a directory like server/app uses ssl3
another directory like server/appler uses ssl3 without client authentication. Important: I�m not able to create another listener. I must use listerners already created.

I have perl scripts that I want to be able to run with my iplanet web server 6.0. How can I make it work in Windows NT? (Because I have no problem when I use it with Linux).

Hi Melanie,
In order to run a PERL script under Windows NT the iPlanet Web Server needs to know where to find the PERL interpreter.
follow these steps :
1) Make sure Windows NT knows what a .pl file is. In file Manager click on file and choose associate from the menu. Check the "files with extension" drop-down list for pl - if it exists verify that it is pathed to your perl.exe. If it is not already on the list click the "New Type" button. In the Filetype box put pl. Choose open from the Action drop-down list. In the Command box specify the full path to your perl.exe interpreter (Make sure to use short filenames, rather than long filenames.) Click the OK button. Then click the Close button in the main Associate dialog box. Double click a .pl file to test - it should automatically launch the PERL interpreter and feed it your .pl file.
2) Create a directory to contain your .pl scripts.
~server_root\shell-cgi is a good choice.
or \cgi-bin\
NOTE: Make very sure that this directory is NOT part of the document root, it should have it's own directory (preferably at the same level of the docroot).
3) In the Admin Server select Programs.
4) Choose CGI directory (normally) or WinCGI directory or ShellCGI Directory depending on ur choice from the Programs menu.
5) Put the URL Prefix you would like to map to your Shell-CGI directory into the URL Prefix field.
6) Put the full path to your Shell-CGI directory in the Shell CGI directory field.
7) Click OK.
8) The save and apply changes page will display your changes and give you the opportunity to verify them. If they are correct click the Save and Apply button. If not Click the Undo button and go back to step 4.
(9)You can then call your .pl scripts directly by referencing the directory mapping that you have just created. For example:
http://my.server.whatever/shell-cgi/ myscript.pl
this should work now.
If not Pls Mail me.

Maximum number of simultaneous CGIs on iPlanet Web Server 6.0

I have installed iPlanet Web Server 6.0 on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP2 machine. I have configured a directory as CGI directory. The actual CGI is an exe written using C++.
Now when I try to access this CGI from the browser, only 1 CGI is loaded at a time even if I send requests for multiple CGIs. I have added the following lines to my "magnus.conf" file:
RqThrottle 128
MinCGIStubs 10
CGIExpirationTimeout 36000
MaxCGIStubs 100
CGIStubIdleTimeout 0
But still the CGI launching is being serialized with only 1 CGI being launched at a time. What could be the reason for this? Can anyone help me out on this one?
Thanks in advance.
Varun Goswami

You can try adding the following directive to your config\magnus.conf configuration file:
KernelThreads 1
This directive instructs the web server to use native (kernel) threads to service requests.
