WLS (40-bit) to WLS (128 bit) installation

Hopefully this will help shed some light on the subject.
Terry
If you receive the following warning:
<I> <Security> WARNING: Exportable (weak) WebLogic Server build running and
domestic (full) strength SSL license detected. Only exportable strength SSL
connections will be accepted.
This indicates that you have a full strength certificate but a weak strength
build of the server. For full strength encryption there is a different WLS
build. The generally-available (weak/40-bit) version of WLS 5. 1 supports
512-bit certificates and 40-bit bulk data encryption. The full strength
(128-bit) WLS 5.1 build supports 768-bit and 1024-bit certificates and
128-bit bulk data encryption. Your sales contact can provide the required
forms and a special URL to download the full strength build of WebLogic.
The installation for the 128-bit version is the same as the installation for
the 40-bit version. When converting to the 128-bit version a complete
re-installation is necessary. If you are installing service packs, please
note that although Service Packs 1-5 are the same for both the 40-bit and
128-bit versions, SP6 for the 128-bit version is a controlled release. In
order to obtain SP6 for WLS 5.1 (128-bit), you will need to contact your
sales representative who will be able to provide a URL where it can be
downloaded.
Some other notes concerning the 128-bit installation. First, ensure that
you are using the permanent license that has been updated with the 128-bit
key. Second, for information on setting up WLS SSL (i.e. installing
1024-bit security certificates), please see the documentation at:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/classdocs/API_secure.html.
It is my understanding that the difference between the 40-bit and 128-bit
versions of WLS 5.1 is in the encryption/decryption module. Since the
difference is limited to this particular module, transitioning from the
40-bit to the 128-bit version should be transparent as far as WLCS (3.1.1
SP1 & 2.01 SP2) is concerned. This is supported by the fact that there is a
single version of WLCS for both domestic use and export use.
A couple of general notes concerning WLCS 3.1.1/2.0.1 installations running
on top of WLS 5.1 (40-bit or 128-bit) SP6:
WLCS 3.1.1: To date, support cases have not been received with a WLCS
3.1.1 installation running on top of WLS
5.1 (40-bit/128-bit) SP6 where SP6 has been determined to be the
problem.
WLCS 2.0.1: With one minor exception (see Solution S-05838 below),
support cases have not been received with a
WLCS 2.0.1 installation running on top of WLS 5.1 (40-bit/128-bit) SP6
where SP6 has been determined to be the
problem.
A couple of general notes concerning WLCS 2.01 and WLS 5.01 (40- or 128-bit)
Service Packs 1-6:
- There have been problems when using SP1, SP2 and SP3 for WLS 5.
- Therefore, SP4 (minimum) is required.
- To date, support cases have not been received where SP5 has been
determined to be a problem.
- There is one small issue related to SP6 (see Solution S-05838 below).
Otherwise, support cases have not been
received where SP6 has been determined to be a problem.
- Following the SP6 installation, all the JSPs will need to be
recompiled. Due to the custom tags used in WLCS 2.0.1,
the JSPs cannot be pre-compiled. Therefore, recompiling will occur as
the pages are accessed.
Please see the release notes that accompany each service pack downloads for
issues that are resolved with each particular
service pack.
Solution S-05838
A better solution to the problem: WLCS 2.0.1 only: DataLoader script causes
ASCClientException with WLS 5.1 SP6
Old Solution:
Use WLS 5.1 SP5 to run the DataLoader, THEN upgrade to SP6.
New Solution:
You can run the DataLoader without exceptions for WLCS 2.0.1 SP2 and WLS 5.1
SP6 if you modify the script to use t3 socket connections instead of http.
Open the DataLoader script for editing and change the two appearances of
"http://" to "t3://".

You need to contact your sales rep and get the domestic strength version of
WLS.

Where to specify the no of bits for encryption for SSL. Is it depend on
verisign certificates installed!!
We are using we weblogic 4.5.1 on Solaris. and my site is having following
encryption
SSL 3.0, RC4 with 40 bit encryption (Low); RSA with 512 bit exchange
and I have seen some other sites are having
SSL 3.0, RC4 with 128 bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit exchange
thanks..

ITunes replacing 256 bit songs with 128 bit songs

When I downloaded new applications from the App Store today, I noticed that my downloads in iTunes also downloaded six songs. Upon further inspection, it replaced three Peter Gabriel Songs from the Album "So" with 128 bit versions, and moved my 256 bit versions to the trash. I purchsed six songs, total, off of that album, but only three were replaced and deleted.
In addition to moving the above songs to the trash, it also sidelined a handful of songs by copying new versions, including:
I've been Everywhere, Johnny Cash, Unchained
Baby Baby, Amy Grant, (no record of previous purchase from this same album)
New York, New York, Tony Bennett, Fifty Years (previously had a 128 bit version, and it downloaded a second 128 bit version)
Anyone else experience this? You can easily check after the fact by sorting on recently modified songs, and see if you have any 128 bit versions, or if you don't empty your trash often, by looking for the "Original iTunes Purchases" in your trash. This will show any files that have been deleted, but not sidelined.

I saw ginbear's post and looked again. I had two more replaced files. Appears they were replaced on 1/22 and 1/24 of this year. I have a couple thousand iTunes tracks, and it only seems to replace a couple ever few months. Luckily, I was able to retrieve the files. One from a recent backup, and the other from a one-off copy I made just in case, the last time it happened.
Here's the response I received from Apple after pursuing it for a couple weeks the last time it happened. They looked at specific tracks iTunes had downloaded.
I'm not sure what the representative is trying to say, but I was glad they looked into the issue.
10/13/2011
Name, this issue is one that does not occur often (I myself have only encountered one other instance of this happening). This may have been caused by a technical error in the iTune Store itself resulting in the pre-upgraded file to download automatically to your account which has been only been known to happen on very rare occasion.
The other explanation may have been an error in iTunes, or with your iTunes library file that caused the 128-bit DRM files to replace your 256-bit DRM free files. For example, if your iTunes library was restored from an iTunes library file before the upgrade was made.
In any case, it is not the iTunes Store's intent to replace your music with pre-upgraded files so I am very glad to hear that you were able to recover your iTunes Plus music, and do not appear to have any files missing.
I want to make sure that you are able to enjoy your iTunes Plus music, so please feel fee to let me know if there is anything further I can assist you with in regards to your files. Thank you for your continued patience name. I hope you have an excellent day!

WLS 5.1/128-bit w/1024/128 certificate SSL connections fail

We have a 128-bit version of WLS 5.1 with the 128-bit SP8. SSL connections work with our original low-strength certificate, reporting during startup that it is "Using low strength SSL". If we replace the key/certificate pair with a new 128-bit version, SSL connections no longer work. The ciphersuites list has all of the supported suites in it. There are no exceptions or other problems reported in the log, but browsers fail to connect via SSL. I've not seen anything obvious online that suggests what may be misconfigured.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

I found that Netscape is reporting that the problem is an "Incorrect Message Authentication Code". What else do I need to change beyond replacing the key and certificate? Thanks.

128-bit floating point numbers on new AMD quad-core Barcelona?

There's quite a lot of buzz over at Slashdot about the new AMD quad core chips, announced yesterday:
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/10/0554208
Much of the excitement is over the "new vector math unit referred to as SSE128", which is integrated into each [?!?] core; Tom Yager, of Infoworld, talks about it here:
Quad-core Opteron? Nope. Barcelona is the completely redesigned x86, and it’s brilliant
Now here's my question - does anyone know what the inputs and the outputs of this coprocessor look like? Can it perform arithmetic [or, God forbid, trigonometric] operations [in hardware] on 128-bit quad precision floats? And, if so, will LabVIEW be adding support for it? [Compare here versus here.]
I found a little bit of marketing-speak blather at AMD about "SSE 128" in this old PDF Powerpoint-ish presentation, from June of 2006:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/PhilHesterAMDAnalystDayV2.pdf
WARNING: PDF DOCUMENT
Page 13: "Dual 128-bit SSE dataflow, Dual 128-bit loads per cycle"
Page 14: "128-bit SSE and 128-bit Loads, 128b FADD, 128 bit FMUL, 128b SSE, 128b SSE"
etc etc etc
While it's largely just gibberish to me, "FADD" looks like what might be a "floating point adder", and "FMUL" could be a "floating point multiplier", and God forbid that the two "SSE" units might be capable of computing some 128-bit cosines. But I don't know whether that old paper is even applicable to the chip that was released yesterday, and I'm just guessing as to what these things might mean anyway.
Other than that, though, AMD's main website is strangely quiet about the Barcelona announcement. [Memo to AMD marketing - if you've just released the greatest thing since sliced bread, then you need to publicize the fact that you've just released the greatest thing since sliced bread...]

I posted a query over at the AMD forums, and here's what I was told.
I had hoped that e.g. "128b FADD" would be able to do something like the following:
/* "quad" is a hypothetical 128-bit quad precision */
/* floating point number, similar to "long double" */
/* in recent versions of C++:                       */
quad x, y, z;
x = 1.000000000000000000000000000001;
y = 1.000000000000000000000000000001;
/* the hope was that "128b FADD" could perform the */
/* following 128-bit addition in hardware:          */
z = x + y;
However, the answer I'm getting is that "128b FADD" is just a set of two 64-bit adders running in parallel, which are capable of adding two vectors of 64-bit doubles more or less simultaneously:
double x[2], y[2], z[2];
x[0] = 1.000000000000000000000000000001;
y[0] = 1.000000000000000000000000000001;
x[1] = 2.000000000000000000000000000222;
y[1] = 2.000000000000000000000000000222;
/* Apparently the coordinates of the two "vectors" x & y       */
/* can be sent to "128b FADD" in parallel, and the following   */
/* two summations can be computed more or less simultaneously: */
z[0] = x[0] + y[0];
z[1] = x[1] + y[1];
Thus e.g. "128b FADD", working in concert with "128b FMUL", will be able to [more or less] halve the amount of time it takes to compute a dot product of vectors whose coordinates are 64-bit doubles.
So this "128-bit" circuitry is great if you're doing lots of linear algebra with 64-bit doubles, but it doesn't appear to offer anything in the way of greater precision for people who are interested in precision-sensitive calculations.
By the way, if you're at all interested in questions of precision sensitivity & round-off error, I'd highly recommend Prof Kahan's page at Cal-Berzerkeley:

128-bit floating point calculations

I'm looking to buy a used SPARC. Which model is the oldest that provides
C or fortran 128-bit floating point calculations? Does every 64-bit CPU
have 128-bit quad real numbers?
Ron

The AMD 64-bit processor does not support 128-bit
floating numbers. I need a Sparc processor that
does.And yet your question has just what to do with Java -- why did you create a userid and post this question in the Java forums?
A response "Does every person have ten fingers?"
shows me that you don't know much about writting
computer programs that have more than 16 significant
decimal digits.I wouldn't infer that - but now that you've proven to be a whiny little snot, I'm sure everyone is just going to want to help you here.

Upgrading to 128-bit encryption

Hello,I would like to know what steps are necessary to upgrade to 128 bit SSL encryption from 40 bit?Currently we have a valid commercial license with key for Tengah/SSL, expiration=never.Any info is greatly appreciated.Thanks,Rick Ellmakeremail: [email protected]

Hi Arshad,
You have to make sure that you are using the domestic version of WLS(full
strength) and when weblogic
boots up it gets the correct license for SSL128. By any chance, if
configuration is wrong it will spit out
error message at srart up.
(NOTE : make sure you use domestic version of Service pack if needed.)

128 bit music problem

I just figured out that I turned this option on a while ago and that is why I could no longer synch photos to my iPhone 4, Apple tv or iPad. I turned it off and photos are synching again!!
Just reported it to Feedback.
So you can squeeze more music on but you give up photos.........

Bonita,
There is a special 128 bit service pack for the 128 bit version of WLS 5.1.
Please contact support to get the 128 bit service pack. Whomever helps
you will need to verify that your company is qualified to receive the 128 bit
version.

XI - 128 Bit encryption

Whether XI (3.0, SP 16) is capable of doing 128 bit SSL Encryption? We are in the process of making a bridge with our external partners (B2B).
We want to install Certificates, and want to do the Encryption?
Who will install the Certificates? From where we can buy these certificates?
Who will do this process?
What are all the other points that we need to remember when we do this 128 bit Encryption?
Thanks

Hi,
SSL is supported by WebAS, and XI is just an application on top of it. The certificates are entered using the Visual Administrator, and also in the ABAP environment, depending on whether you also plan to use it with the SOAP adapter. The configuration is normally done by the basis person.
128-bit is supported. You can get certificates from various providers, e.g. Verisign. To work with a partner who has an user certificate, that user will have to provide you with his public certificate.
The XI Configuration Guide that comes with the installation CD have the instructions. Also, you can access that following weblogs for additional info:

Where can I get Messaging Server 3.5 with 128-bit encryption?

Where can I get Messaging Server 3.5 with 128-bit encryption?
<P>
Messaging Server 3.5 is available for export (40-bit encryption)
and domestic (128-bit encryption). The domestic version includes
support for Fortezza.

It can be updated from any computer with an Internet connection but is best done from the computer which it normally syncs with. The update itself is free; if you have someone do it for you, you may be charged.

128-bit SSL question

We are using domestic strength SSL (128 bit) with Weblogic
          5.1 sp5. It looks like browsers that support 128-bit
          encryption are fine, but those that support a lower
          encryption level (i.e. 56-bit or 40-bit) cannot connect. I
          was expecting this, but is there anyway to find out what
          browser is being used and let them know that they need a new
          browser? I know we can do this when they connect via HTTP,
          but what if they connect directly to a secure page? Getting
          a "Page cannot displayed message" isn't the best option.
          BTW the error message that I am getting when those browsers
          connect is a "BadMACException"? Has anyone had any
          experience with this? Is this caused by browsers that
          connect at the wrong encryption levels?
          Thanks,
          Shaun

From my understanding, it is already included in the code you have. You

Actually yes or no on this:
Yes the installer bundles both "export" and "domestic(128bit)" files in
them; however, the domestic files will be installed only when domestic
strength license is detected at the installation time. So if you get a
domestic strength license after you installed the product, you will need to
reinstall the product with your new domestic strength license in place
($BEAHOME).

Can Windows 8.1 32 bit run a 16 bit installer? If not, any suggestions as to how I might install this program?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi
You need to to install Windows XP in Hyper-V, because start from windows 8, they no longer support 16bit program.

Not able to connect to wireless network using WEP 128 bit hex password

I'm using a 128 bit hex WEP password on a Belkin wireless router.
My ascii passphrase is 13 characters.
I tried using the hex password generated by the Belkin router, as well as the hex equivalent of my ascii passphrase. Every time, I am told that either "there was an error connecting to the network" or the "password is incorrect" message.
I'm using channel 7, but have also tried with channel 11.
I tried using a $ sign in front of the WEP hex password. The $ does not work with Open Internet Connect or the Airport menubar.
I can connect if I don't use any encryption on the wireless network, and also through the Ethernet cable.
I have an iBook which connects fine to the wireless network.
So why doesn't the iMac work the same way ?

The security difference between NO encryption and any form of WEP is about 2 minutes or less for somebody looking to get in... besides having WEP enabled makes you look like an easy target since you think it'll stop anything!
Either leave it off, making Hackers think at least 3 minutes about WHY, or use/setup WPA of one form or another!

That sounds like you either have a very slow Internet connection, or the server at the other end (providing the video) is slow.
Try clearing your Internet cache; this helps sometimes.
