Web server in front of WebAS

Hi,
We are using EP6.0 on WebAS 6.40 (on Solaris).
Due to some security reasons, we do not want to expose our portal server to web. Instead we want to have one seperate web server (Apache web server) to sit in front of the portal server. This web server will take direct user requests and will forward them to the portal server.
Has anyone worked on something of this kind?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi,
What you need is a reverse proxy. Check web logs like:

Web server in front of XI

Hello guys,
I am developing a scenario in which i want to publish XI message interfaces on the uddi repository,is there any best practice for this.
Also I want to place the web server in front of xi so as to hide my XI server form the clients requesting particular service from XI.

in standard you should you <b>SAP WEB dispacher</b>
to do that - you can put it in DMZ to connect to internet directly - very easy to configure and use
no need to a new web server

A web server in front of Sun One App 8

Hi all, I'm trying to port a web site with jsp and servlet and j2ee applications(JMS) from tomcat&Apache to Sun one application server 8. In my old setup, Aapche acts as a front line where static images are served there, php pages and cgi stuff where tomcat is for jsp and servlets.
So when i try to port it to sun one 8, i got a couple of problems. Sun one 8 doesnt support cgi and php, so i need a web server in front. So i'm thinking either apache or sun web server in front and funnel jsp/servlet to sun one 8. But i dont know how to integrate such setup. With apache and tomcat, theres this JK2/coyote sitting on port 8009. How do i setup a web server (maybe apache or sun one web) with sun one 8?

I'm looking to do the same. Has anyone done this. I'd prefer apache but willing to look at any solution.

Create OPC I/O server and front panel data socket problem

Hi all!
I installed the NI OPC server. When I try to create a new server I/O in a LabVIEW project I don't see the "OPC client" possibility.
Is something software missing?
Other question: I tryed to connect to OPC server using front panel data socket but my problem is same. When I click the numeric control and I go to the "data operation" menu there is no possibility to make data socket connection.
I don't know what is the problem.
I attached two pictures about my problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear vajasgeri1,
do you have LabVIEW DSC module installed? Without it you will not have the OPC client funtionality.
And to configure DataSocket binding you need to go to the Data Binding tab in the Properties of a control.

Use Proxy Server in front of StandAlone

Hi All,
I have a Standalone XMLP deployed in my environment.
As standalone is by default deployed on 15101, I need use a reverse proxy server in front of it so that all reports are accessed from port 80.
After I set the proxypass/reverseproxypass in my httpd.conf, I am able to login and see sample reports but the images are still pointing to old host:port.
Please advice what further changes are requried to implement this.
Thanks in advance.

Cisco MCS Server 7825 front side LED status..?

Hi,
Please provide me the details of Cisco MCS server 7825 front side LED status. Because i our server one LED status showing AMBER. i know about the status of two led one is for HDD one is for Ethernet and please tell me about the third one.
Regards,
Deepak Sambyal

Steve - if the servers are showing blank screen on monitor connected to console, it appears they are not even initialising the POST process. It could be due to a faulty component - could be CPU, RAM, motherboard..anything....
Generally with this kind of issues, you try to isolate faulty hardware, by rebooting without any component and see if it reaches POST. I would suggest open a case with TAC and I hope the servers have active maintenance.
On another note try changing the monitor cable etc. to rule out any issue with any cable or monitor (which i doubt would be the case) just to make sure and then try a reboot and see if you see anything on screen.

Problem when adding a web server in front of weblogic

Hello all,
I have the following problem. A Sun ONE WS (6.1) was added in front of the weblogic 70 that runs our application. The WS just forwards the requests from port 91 to the weblogic port, which is 8001. In my application, I have only one <welcome-file-list> that works fine if I access the AS directly. However, It doesn't work when I try to do it thru the WS. Is there anything I need to change in weblogic or my application to make this <welcome-file-list> functionality work ? Someone know if the HTTP request is received differently if it's sent internally ?
Thanks a lot!
Federico

The AS wasn't the problem. Sun one was appending index.html in the request when it forward it to the AS...

Lync Server 2013 Front End Pool Mediation Service only works on one node

Hello, I'm currently experiencing an interesting issue with a Lync 2013 Front End Pool implementation on a customer, and I don't know if this is by design or am I missing something.
We implemented 3 Enterprise Front End Servers in a Pool with a hardware load balancer and we have them configured also as a mediation Pool.
We have a SIP trunk to an Avaya PBX which was perfectly working before on a Lync 2010 Implementation that we migrated to these new 2013 Front End Pools.
Now the SIP traffic is only working when configured directly to one node of the pool. If we configure it to any other node the calls fail. We also tried configuring the HLB for port 5060 for the pool and pointed the PBX to that IP but the calls also fail.
Searching around I read something about that the PBX has to be Lync certified in order to use DNS load balancing to send SIP traffic to the mediation pool, however, I don't think DNS load balancing will work because the other nodes doesn't connect the calls
from the PBX, only one node appears to be listening for the SIP Trunk.
I also restarted the mediation service on one non-working mediation server node and the event viewer on the working mediation server node showed events that it restarted the service, Not the non-working one, it's like only one server from the pool
is doing as mediation server.
So even if I get a Lync Certified PBX/Media Gateway, the mediation service doesn't appear to be load balanced, or how does it work in order to do that?
Thanks.
Eduardo Rojas

Just a few things about what should be happening. Each front-end server should be listening on the port configured in topology builder for the mediation service. So if that is port 5060, verify that you see that port listening on all front-end servers
by running a netstat -ano. From a local workstation, also make sure you can connect to that port via a telnet IPAddress 5060. As you say, you should be able to send any of the three mediation servers an inbound call.
Outbound calls will round robin out of the enterprise pool. So you shouldn't see all of the calls coming out of a single server.
A few other items I would look into:
- Make sure your ports are right. Ensure that you are matching ports on the Avaya and Lync. It's not a hard requirement but makes life easier to troubleshoot. So if the Avaya is 5060, just make sure TCP/5060 enabled in your mediation pools
and that your gateways/trunks are also set to TCP/5060.
- Look outside the Lync Event Viewer and see if anything strange (.net errors) are being tossed anywhere else during startup of the mediation service. I once had to remove the mediation server installer (Program and Features | Remove) and rebootstrap
the server because something went sideways during an install.
Thanks,

Apache proxy server in front of Weblogic

Need helps.
Apache 1.2, Weblogic 6.1
Apache serves as proxy server, redirct to login.jsp in weblogic server. However
when First request from browser is passed to apache seems, the apache server
does pass JsessionID to weblogic, which leads to error no page found. Unless we
refresh the browser page first which just get to second request, then everything
works. It seems like Apache problem, but I hope I could
get some help from WebLogic group.
Thanks
Jining

I think that depends on which server is free and apache webserver will check it then choose the best one to go

JSP channel for web server

Hi all ,
i am trying to give the access of an web server through portal server ( that web server is on local network & my portal server is on the internet i.e i can access my portal server from Internet )in order to do so i had made following changes.
I had made a jsp provider channel> then i write the following lines in the files and configured that jsp channel with that JSP.
<iframe src="http://192.168.0.10" height=800 width=970 ></iframe>
When i access my portal server from internet, i was unable to access that web server from my portal server, how ever that webserver was accessible from local network through portal, which leads me to the conclusion that my client machine was directly accessing the 192.168.0.10.
My question is can i enable my portal server to take the interface from the webserver i.e 192.168.0.10 and bring it to the client so that i can become independent of accessible of 192.168.0.10
Regards
Adeel

Thanks
It really worked. But it is not displayed properly i.e some pics are missing and more over i cannot login in to that web server. When i enter the username & password it just open and says the page can not be displayed
i have made the following changes in order to accomplish that.
/etc/hosts
192.168.0.10 dummydomain1.com
and this URL i had entered in the channel you had told me.Now whwn i get that interface of web server in front of me through portal it is in bad condition and more over when i try to login to that interface, my client it self try to access that interface i.e URL.However the requirement was to that the portal server should be doing all the work .
regards

Modify root for web server

The Server config successfully did a reverse lookup and created a config for the default web server. Unfortunately I want to use that very name/address to host from a root location of MY choosing and not the one that Lion Server thinks I should want. Since editing the server-built default config is not allowed (fields are grey'd out etc) I was successfully at creating an additional site, with the exact same fully qualified domain name, pointing to the root folder of my choosing. While this does work with header based requests, it does fail for IP based requests or blabla.local requests.
It looks as if the web pane of the server app was crafted for users wishing to setup sites like this, yet this most simple of tasks seems out of reach. Since I assume many have had to grapple with this issue I am hoping there are some experiences someone can share. I will happily start hacking on the apache config, but it does seem that Apple planned for us to build sites with the app, and may break any of my hand-edits with an innocuous looking security update or something.
thanks,
greg

Leopard Server - Web User folder - Access forbidden

Hi,
we migrated our users from a Tiger server to a Leopard yesterday. Now all of them have 'access forbidden' errors on their web.server.com/~username folders.
There are read-only permissions on their sites folder and we can access the default server home page.
I have seen the posts for deskop 10.5.4 stuff for personal web sharing but that doesn't apply here.
Any ideas?

I should say that the _www user/group is a system user/group, and therefore its hidden from the typical list of users and groups. I don't have a Leopard server in front of me, but there is a way to view system users and groups in the list. Hopefully your engineer knows it off the top of his head.

IBM HTTP Web Server

Can one put IBM HTTP Web Server in front of WLS so that all HTTP requets go to IBM HTTP Web Server and redirects to WLS.

Yes, but I've never tested the plug-in (Apache) for Weblogic with IBM's
build. (The IBM HTTP server is Apache.)

Web browser plug-in for publishing a front panel

I have a number of automated systems operating through the corporation. Support is becoming an issue. I plan on running an application on a server, the front panel will look like a 'tech support request form'. Accessed through a browser, users on the LAN will access the "form" and log in a support request. On the back end the VI will log the request to a DB and email me to alert me to the issue
Just read in an excerpt of the LTR that to accomplish this the client machines must have:
"To operate remote panels from a browser, you must first have the LabVIEW 6.1 run-time engine and browser plug-in installed on the client machine."
The runtime engine is no problem, but what , and where, is the br
owser plug-in? and will it operate with both/either Netscape / IE?

I looked through the source code on the html pages, there is some javascript detection. I'm running Win2k and IE 6 and don't have the 6.1 run-time engine on the machine and get prompted to install it.
If you view source of any of the live experiment pages search for "ftp.ni.com" and that should take you to the right place in the html for the script.
Johnathan's post mentiond that NS is only supported for versions greater than 4.7 so that might be one issue with your current setup. I'm sure there has got to be a way to detect your browser version too and then inform people that if they're using an older version they need to upgrade to view the remote panel. Of course, I said I'm sure it's possible which doesn't mean I know myself ho
w to do it ;-) I have seen it on some sites when functionality isn't available for older versions like NS 3.x
One other thing, depding on how you're going to deploy the application and how much control you have over the machines accessing the pages. If the detection is a javascript based detection then you might want to include a detection to make sure people have javascript turned on in the first place. If you think that would be useful let me know and I'll try and see if I can find something.
I'm waiting to hear back from somebody on the NS issues and to confirm the javascript working for both browsers. I'll let you know as soon as I have more information.
Best of luck,

Consuming BI data in Web Dynpro

Hi all,
Is there any way in which I can consume BI queries as models in Web Dynpro?
If no, then is there any alternative for this purpose?
I want to use the BI queries to display tables and charts in web dynpro..
Thanks,
Ankit

Ridouan,
Not directly related to this question, but I ask: Are you developing VC applications to be exposed off to users or for pure proof of concept cases? Because from where I see, the lack of versioning in VC makes me leery to expose it to a large user community.
Also, do you know if VC can be hosted on a different app server and front ended with Portal? (Like WebDynPro?). If it is possible, then it's great for performance.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran
