WDS - A simple question

Hi all.
I didn't understand one thing about the WDS domain for the APs.
I understood that I need LEAP to authenticate one AP into the WDS domain. But, after all APs are logged into the WDS, the WDS will make faster my EAP-TLS authentications too? My network is all in EAP-TLS, and it take some time to reathenticate a client when it moves to another Access point.
Thanks

Refer the following document for information on WDS,

Airport Express, using 2 in WDS mode, simple question.

when my router gave out (used to hook an apple laserwriter to my wireless network), i picked up another airport express, as i was told with 2 of them i could utilize the ethernet port on the 2nd to use for my ethernet printer. everything works, but in the airport utility setup, i thought i'd be able to add the 2nd express to the network, not extend the network (the option read to share a usb printer or for airtunes). i liked this option, as i don't need the extra range, and would be happy without the extra signal running. unfortunately, set up like this, my printer cannot be found via printer set-up/appletalk. i need to select the option to 'extend my network' in the airport utility to see the printer.
so i am assuming that in the 'add to network' mode the ethernet port is disabled, but usb and airtunes is enabled? is there any way around this, perhaps in manual set-up?
thanks.

Your assumption is correct. When configured as a "wireless client," the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port is NOT enabled. To enable it, it must be configured in a WDS with another base station.

Not necessarily. I have one (in the "Pro" line) without any such problem.
With many drives, if you completely erase and reformat it, without loading any of the software that comes with it, those problems are unlikely.
Some will respond to the +Put the hard disk(s) to sleep . . .+ option in System Preferences > Energy Saver, some don't.
Some WDs, however, come with "spin down" programming that's near-impossible to remove.
Well it was certainly the case on 3 FreeAgent drives that I know of, and it was a well known problem that Seagate did nothing about. The drives would spin-down after a short time and cause a fairly long delay anytime drive access was needed.This was a hardware issue and nothing to do with the disk format. seagate provided drive manager software for Windows but not Mac.
I suppose the issue has been resolved in later drives but the point is not to assume that any old external drive is suitable for use with OS X.

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect. What is = to post?

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

A simple question on random number generation?

Hi,
This is a rather simple question and shows my newbieness quite blatantly!
I'm trying to generate a random number in a part of a test I have.
So, I have a little method which looks like this:
public int getRandomNumber(int number){
        Random random = new Random(number);
        return random.nextInt(number);
    }And in my code I do int random = getRandomNumber(blah)...where blah is always the same number.
My problem is it always returns the same number. What am I missing here. I was under the impression that nextint(int n) was supposed to generate the number randomly!! Obviously I'm doing something wrong or not using the correct thing. Someone please point out my stupidity and point me in the right direction? Ta

I think the idea is that Random will generate the same pseudo-random sequence over and over if you don't supply a seed value. (The better to debug with, my dear.) When you're ready to put an app into production, the seed value should be the current system time in milliseconds to guarantee a new sequence with each run.
Do indeed move Random outside the loop. Think of it like a number factory - instantiate it once and let it pump out the random values for you as needed.

A simple Question about % in CR Chart!

Hi, I have another simple question.
When i use SQL to storage data and wanna Crystal Report to display the data in chart using %
which data type should i use?
float or string?
and I found when i use 0.12 as 12% in database , It could not display in Crystal Report line chart normally.
What should I do??
Please Help!!!
Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

If you have the datatype as string from your database then try adding the string field as a summary field in chart and select maximum instead of count and if you have them in number format then you can directly select the percentage in chart.

Simple question: I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder. How can I do this? If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

Simple question: I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder. How can I do this? If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

Simple question about JAVA path

Hi. I have a simple question , but I spent several hours trying to find an answer.
How do I know the location of the java executable which is used by Concurrent Manager.
I already know that running which java under application user will not give me the correct answer

Maybe you can try like this:
     public String getPath(){
          Class cls=getClass();
          String className=cls.getName();
          String packageName=cls.getPackage().getName();
          System.out.println(className);
          System.out.println(packageName);
          String newClassName=className.replaceAll("\\.", "/");
          String resouceName=newClassName+".class";
          System.out.println(resouceName);
          URL url;
          url=cls.getClassLoader().getResource(resouceName);
          String path="";
          path=url.getFile();
          return path;
     }

Load Balancing Directory Servers with Access Manager - Simple questions

Hi.
We are in the process of configuring 2 Access Manager instances (servers) accessing the same logical LDAP repository (comprising physically of two Directory Servers working together with Multi-Master Replication configured and tested) For doing this, we are following guide number 819-6258.
The guide uses BigIP load balancer for load balancing the directory servers. However, we intend to use Directory Proxy Server. Since we faced some (unresolved) issues last time that we used DPS, there are some simple questions that I would be very grateful to have answers to:
1. The guide, in section 3.2.10 (To configure Access Manager 1 with the Directory Server load balancer), talks about making changes at 4 places, and replacing the existing entry (hostname and port) with the load balancer's hostname and port (assuming that the load balancer has already been configured). It says that changes need not be made on Access Manager 2 since the LDAPs are in replication, and hence changes will be replicated at all places. However, the guide also states that changes have to be made in two files, namely AMConfig.properties, and the serverconfig.xml file. But these changes will not be reflected on Access Manager 2, since these files are local on each machine.
Question 1. Do changes have to be made in AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml files on the other machine hosting Access Manager 2?
Question 2: What is the purpose of putting these values here? Specifically, what is achieved by specifying the Directory server host and port in AMConfig.properties, as well as in serverconfig.xml?
Question 3. In the HTTP console, there is the option of specifying multiple primary LDAP servers, as well as multiple secondary LDAP servers. What is the purpose of these? Are secondary servers attempted when none of the list in the primary list are accessible? Also, if there are multiple entries in the primary server list, are they accessed in a round robin fashion (hereby providing rudimentary load balancing), or are other servers accessed only when the one mentioned first is not reachable etc.?
2. Since I do not have a load balancer setup yet, I tried the following deviation to the above, which, according to me, should have worked. If viewed in the HTTP console, LDAP / Membership / MSISDN and Policy configuration all pointed to the DS on host 1. When I changed all these to point to the directory server on host 2 (and made AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml on host 1 point to DS of host 2 as well), things should have worked fine, but apparently Access manager 1 could not be started. Error from Webserver:

In effect, AM on 1 did not start. On rolling back the changes, things again worked like previously.
Will be really grateful for any help / insight / experience on dealing with the above.
Thanks!

Update to the above, incase anyone is reading:
We setup a similar setup in Windows, and it worked. Here is a detailed account of what was done:
1. Host 1: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST1:389)
2. Host 2: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST2:389)
3. Host 1: Started replication. Set to Master
4. Host 2: Started replication. Set to Master
5. Host 1: Setup replication agreement to Host 2
6. Host 2: Setup replication agreement to Host 1
7. Initiated the remote replica from Host 1 ----> Host 2
Note that since default installation uses abc.....xyz as the encryption key, setting this to same was not an issue.
9. Started webserver for Host 1 and logged into AM as amadmin.
10. Added Host 2 FQDN in DNS Aliases / Realms
11. Added http://HOST2_FQDN:80 in the Platform server (instance) list.
12. Started Host 2 webserver. Logged in AM on Host 2, things worked fine.
At this stage, note the following:
a) Host 1:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host1_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host1_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
b) Host 2:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host2_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host2_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
c) If one logs into AM, and checks LDAP servers for LDAP / Policy Configuration / Membership etc services, they all contain Host2_FQDN:389 (which makes sense, since replica 2 was initialized from 1)
Returning back to the configuations:
13. On Host 1, login into the Admin server console of the Directory server. Navigate to the DPS, and confgure the following:
a) Network Group
b) LDAP servers
c) Load Balancing
d) Change Group
e) Action on-bind
f) Allow all actions (permit modification / deletion etc.).
g) any other configuations required - Am willing to give detailed steps if someone needs them to help me / themselves! :)
So now, we have DPS configured and running on Host1:489, and distributing load to DS1 and DS2 on a 50:50 basis.
14. Now, log into AM on Host 1, and instead of Host1_fqdn:389 (for DS) in the following places, specify Host1_fqdn:489 (for the DPS)--
LDAP Authentication
MSISDN server
Membership Service
Policy configuation.
Verified that this propagated to the Policy Configuration service and the LDAP authentication service that are already registered with the default organization.
15. Log out of AM. Following the documentation, modify directory.host and directory.port in AMConfig.properties to point to Host 1_FQDN and 489 respectively. Make this change in AMConfig.properties of both Host 1 as well as 2.
16. Edit serverconfig.xml on both hosts, and instead of they pointing to their local directory servers, point both to host1_FQDN:489
17. When you start the webserver, it will refuse to start. Will spew errors such as:

Success!
The server https-host1_FQDN has started up.
The server infact, didn't start up (nothing even listening on 58080).
However, if AMConfig.properties is left as it originally was, and only serverconfig.xml files were changed as mentioned above, web servers started fine, and things worked all okay. (Alright, except for some glitches when viewed in /amconsole. If /amserver/console is accessed, all is good. Can this mean that all is still not well? I am not sure).
So far so good. Now comes the sad part. When the same is done on Solaris 9, things dont work. You continue to get the above error, OR the following error, and the web server will refuse to start:
Differences in Solaris and Windows are as follows:
1. Windows hosts have 1 IP and hostname. Solaris hosts have 3 IPs and hostnames (for DS, DPS, and webserver).
No other difference from an architectural perspective.
Any help / insight on why the above is not working (and why the hell does the documentation seem so sketchy / insecure / incorrect).
Thanks a bunch!

Re: add-ons. Just a simple question I couldn't find an answer to. Is the term "uninstall" equivalent to "remove the software from the computer"?

I downloaded a You Tube downloader, and expected an icon to come up when You Tube was playing, according to a friend's advice.
Since this didn't happen I assumed the download didn't work, or was an old version that doesn't work anymore. I wanted to just get rid of it and try another downloader.
I went to Tools--> Add-ons--> and clicked on the downloaded software and saw the 2 options [Disable] and [Uninstall]. The terminology is unclear, as I've always thought once software resides on your computer you can install it or uninstall it without erasing it from the computer.
A simple question that seems obvious except to someone who wants to be very precise and sure. Basically "does [Uninstall] mean erase from the computer"?
Thanks

With Firefox extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) you have two possibilities. You can disable an extension if you do not want to use it now, but want to keep it. Or you can uninstall an extension and remove it from the computer. Note that uninstalling an extension still leaves prefs in about:config (prefs.js) and possibly files in the profile folder that will be reused in case you decide to reinstall an extension at a later time.

OK folks, this is a simple question - so why can't i find a clear answer anywhere? I am running Itunes 8, Win XP, been running Itunes for my music for about 4 years.
Current setup 3 users running Itunes on same pC.
My problem is when I browse my lbrary each song in my compilations are showing upas different albums e.g. "O Brother where art thou" has 14 different "albums" as do some home-made compilations I have been given.

You mention enabling the iTunes option to *Group compilations when browsing*, but have you also set the *Part of a Compilation* flag to Yes for each track of your compilations? See my recent post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

Or you can actived the right button on your magic mouse and click on they icon in the dock. then you select "stop" and it's out of your dock.

Need a simple answer for simple question???

simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
help

The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.
