Re: OT: Email distribution services

2013-03-14 Thread Steve Kallestad
I've been down that rabbit hole and the potential problems are an enormous
headache.

The problem with using a commercial service to handle your mailing list is
that you're very dependent on not only their infrastructure, but their
reputation as well.

All it takes is one of their *other* customers to end up on a spammer list
for your messages to have problems with delivery.  Not to mention your own
messaging setup could trigger auto-flagging of that company as a spammer.

If you can avoid it, you're better off handling things internally with
whatever infrastructure you have in place.  Otherwise you run the danger of
learning way more about email delivery than anybody should ever really know.

If you have to go external, choose a service that will leverage your own
companies hostnames for delivery.
(autonotifications.yourcompany.comrather than
mail.biglistprovider.com) so that when you do end up having users with
flagged messages you can whitelist without having to whitelist a plethora
of other companies at the same time.

And if you do that, you want to make sure you use
SPF/DomainKeys/DKIM/SenderID again to ensure that your whitelisting is
valid.

It really is a simple thing that you want.  Unfortunately, spammers have
really mucked things up for the rest of us.

Sorry - I don't have a recommended provider.  I just had to throw my 2
cents in.

Re: CMDB RE Identification Rules

2013-03-14 Thread Tauf Chowdhury
To Peter's point, first make sure you are not getting duplicates from ADDM
by checking within the ADDM data set. Sometimes, something like network
adapter change can cause ADDM to think a machine is new and creates a new
record for it but to you, it looks like a dupe.

We set up distribution lists on our corporate email system then just set Remedy

Example:

Howdy,

I flagged this as off-topic since it really isn't a Remedy question per se, 
though it does involve a Remedy system.

We need to send different kinds of notifications from ARS to various 
distribution lists.  We would rather not build up these lists within ARS 
(mainly because many of the recipients don't have Remedy access; also so I 
won't have to be the one maintaining the distribution groups; and finally so 
ARS would only have to send one message to 1-5 recipients instead of 487).  So 
we were thinking about setting up a separate server running Mailman, Listserv 
or similar, and maintain the distribution lists on that platform.

However, management said, "why worry ourselves with more infrastructure?" and 
suggested looking into a commercial distribution service.  For example, when 
Pottery Barn/Gap/whatever sends out a weekly marketing email, at the end of the 
email it says "Powered by MegaSpammer" or some such.  Trouble is, these seem 
tailored to sending out feature-laden emails (as opposed to the plain text we 
need to send out), and to one particular distribution list.

So, I'm back to looking for something like Mailman or Listserv, but paying 
someone else to take care of it (all we'd have to do is configure our mailing 
lists and send our messages).  Can anyone recommend something like this?  
(Alternately we're thinking of getting a virtual server on the cloud somewhere 
like AWS, then installing Mailman on it, but then we'd still be on the hook for 
maintaining Mailman, and management prefers that we wouldn't even have to do 
that.)

I wouldn't be surprised if I've overlooked something really obvious, but so far 
all I'm finding are the "Powered by SpamRockets" with the fancy HTML templates 
etc.

Re: SSO / AREA LDAP question

2013-03-14 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese.
The Bmc OOTB SSO Plugin is very easy to break since it only depends on http 
header authentication. It has nothing to do with LDAP or AD. the scenario 
changes if you use the basic SSO with site minder or an external authentication 
plugin with a hub. 

The best way you can start troubleshooting the issue is to turn ON debug 
logging on the plugin and turn ON your plugin logs on the server and identify 
the API calls when the account gets locked. 

We use JSS SSO plugin and cannot be happier with the support and the security 
features of the product.

Re: [EXTERNAL] OT: World Kidney Day, drink some water to help clean out your kidneys

2013-03-14 Thread Stroud, Natalie K
And not only does drinking water help clean out your kidneys, but it gives your 
kidneys the fluids they need to cleanse your system so your liver doesn't have 
to.  When your liver doesn't have to do the work of your kidneys, it can devote 
more energy to (among other things) burning FAT!  Given the current obesity 
epidemic in many parts of the world, many of us could do with losing some of 
that.

Speaking as a person who has lost 90+ lbs in the past 15 months and one who has 
been striving since around October to drink 80 - 100 oz. of water and/or herb 
tea per day, I can say from personal experience that it makes a positive 
difference.  I notice that I'm 3-4 lbs lighter over a week when I consistently 
meet my goal of 80-100 oz. per day.

Remember that as of 2011, one in 10 American adults, more than 20 million, have 
some level of kidney disease. Out of that only about 4 million know about it.

Also the average cost per patient to treat (kidney failure or end stage renal 
disease) is around $80k per year. And as one who when through the treatments, 
they suck.

Leading causes are "diabetes or hypertension"...

So drink some water to help clean out your kidneys.

Re: Dev Studio Error getting list of Active Link objects

2013-03-14 Thread Rick Westbrock
I do have to say however that when I could not get an ARX file to import
using the 7.6.04 SP2 Data Import tool I was advised by BMC Support to use
the 8.0 Data Import tool instead and it resolved the problem. We never did
figure out why an ARX exported from a server at the same code level threw
those very strange errors on import but using the newer tool got around
that. I have not used the newer Data Import tool since then however since  I
have not experienced any further import errors.

I had negative experiences with using the Admin tool of mismatched versions
too, fortunately in test/sandbox type environments. And since then never
took that risk. And mostly now since I do contract work, I avoid that risk
because the last thing I would want is a customers system to be broken on
account of that. But that's encouraging to hear that they are more grounded
now on the whole backward compatibility between the development tools and
the server.

 

I would only take that risk though if I encounter a circumstance where there
is a bug with the matching version but works better if using the DS tool of
a higher version. I had done it on the early releases of the DS tool on
7.6.04 where P2 and below were buggy, but used to switch back and forth -
only work with the function where the bug manifested but returned to the
matching version for all other work.

 

I know at the end of the day its just data (meta data) that you can corrupt,
which can be recovered by a DB restore, but when you are sub contracting, it
often doesn't go too well if you are the reason they needed to roll back a

I'll disagree with you Joe :)

 

I am using 8.1 with our 7.6.04, 8.0 and 8.1 systems.  Since we have a range
of version I have chosen to only install one version of DS to work with all
servers.  Obviously I haven't been using the 8.1 very long but I had been
using 8.0 extensively with AR 7.6.04 without issue.

 

I talked to the a DS engineer a few WWRUGs back and he encouraged me to use
a higher version of DS.  I was skeptical at first but seemed very confident
about the statement.  I have been doing ever since.  Even when we only had
7.5 servers I was using 7.6.04 DS because there were so many improvements
and bugs fixed.

 

This is a change from the Admin Tool where I paid the price once and only
once for using a version that allow me to use features that the AR Server
would not recognize.

by raising my DS to a minor patch over the existing server version (although

on DS by an entire version. It might be designed to be backward compatible,

I have found in the past that sometimes using an Admin Tool or Dev Studio
version that does not exactly match the server can cause unexpected issues.
Nominally the tools should be backward compatible but in practice I have
seen strange errors get resolved by downgrading whichever administration
tool you are using to match the exact version/patch of the server.

 

An example is that I had some weird problem that I don't exactly recall a
few months ago when I was running Dev Studio 7.6.04 SP4 against a server
that was ARS 7.6.04 SP2. The problem did not exist when I changed to Dev
Studio SP2 to match the server. I thought it was always best practice to
match your administration tool to the server while it was less critical for
the old Windows User Tool (newer versions of the tool never seemed to cause
problems against an older server).

Re: SSO / AREA LDAP question

2013-03-14 Thread Lotz, David
Yes, we have the plugin and we can get sso to function. The issue is that we 
get random lockouts for the users when they are coming in through the mid-tier. 
It doesn't happen to everyone at the same time. There have been times where it 
does not affect a given user for several days. Then they log in and they get 
locked out, like I said it seems pretty random. For instance, I log in and 
usually don't see the lockout issue whereas my co-developer logs in and almost 
instantly gets locked out. Then after resetting his domain id he is fine for 
several hours and then we both start getting locked out. We are troubleshooting 
with our AD team but it isn't looking promising. I was hoping that someone who 
is using the BMC supplied SSO code experienced this and was able to solve the 
issue.


Thanks

Hello David,

I think there is some confusion here. For SSO to work in general with Midtier, 
there has to be some work done on 2 ends, the Midtier end and the ARServer end. 
AR Server (either form based or AREA LDAP based) needs username/password 
combination for authentication by default. You can have some chaining setups 
where some users will get authenticated against Form and other using LDAP which 
people typically do when they have AREA LDAP setup and they setup user password 
as BLANK in user form for users which need to be authenticated against LDAP. 
But AR Server, by default, will not authenticate a user unless password is 
supplied. BMC whitepaper says that once you have overridden 
DefaultAuthenticator on Miditer side, you can bypass login page and as you 
said, you are getting username somehow. Now this username and some TOKEN has to 
be passed back to AR Server and you need to write an custom AREA plug-in which 
will validate username/TOKEN combination, may be talking to some SSO server or 
in some way. Point is, unless you write a custom AREA plug-in SSO will not 
work. Also in your case, it sounds like, you are satisfied by just having 
extracted username from the browser (IE) and you want AR Server to authenticate 
the user just based on that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

We use a load balancer before the mid-tier and then again before the
application server. The problem doesn't appear to be linked to any server in
the pool. I have repeatedly gone through the SSO setup for each server and
they are identical and appear to be correct. I have used SSL and non SSL

Ordered and Received are used by both Purchasing and Receiving console. If

adding values to the list. Managers don't like seeing unused values in

You CAN change the verbiage in the values without much issue, but the

Hi,
AI can be controlled through the Server Group Ranking form as any other Admin 
operation can be.  Only one server is active at a time.

Hi Neo,
The AI wasn’t supported on server group till 7.6.04. It’s now supported on
server group with 8.x I believe.

Cheers
Rishi

Reg. AI support for Server Groups

2013-03-14 Thread NeoPhoenix
Hi,

As we all know that AIE is being replaced by a more powerful tool called AI.

What is the dependency of AI over server grouping?

What I mean to say is does Server grouping affects the behaviour of AI?

Neo
