WUT SSSO / areainfo.dll

2007-11-06 Thread Luke, Brian
I've found the sample source code for areainfo.dll, but so far
everything I've seen uses hardcoded username etc...

Has anyone actually figured out the code to gather the authentication
information from an Active Directory authenticated user on a domain
workstation?

More importantly - Is anyone willing to share - even just enough to
gather it, I can plug it in to the skeleton  catch it on the server
side.
 
Thank You,
Brian Luke

I'd suggest using telnet , specifying your SMTP TCP port (25?) and
seeing if it at least gets as far as establishing a connection.

We do fairly extensive personnel management by pushing and pulling info
to and from Active Directory using the LDAP vendor forms.  We even do
account creation and disabling that way now, through our (customized)
personnel management form.

We have set up our ARDBC LDAP form to use a domain account with admin
privileges in AD, then I created filters that modify the vendor form
data as values are changed in Remedy.  The implicit SAVE action from the
filter writes the data to AD. 

I've only had one issue with it, when I tried to modify two values in
one filter and it caused the LDAP thread to lock up.  While debugging, I
split the action into two separate filters (to see which value was
causing the problem), and it all cleared up.

I'll be happy to provide more detail if you have specific questions.

Chris,

I have not yet set out on this path, but I see it in my future too.
From the little work I have done playing with the idea I think one
option might be to turn to a command line interface. (Especially if your
ARS server runs on a Windows Server.) AD appears to have some command
line tools that might make this type of thing fairly easy to to.

I would think that if you have to build a Web Service front end to AD
that you would have much more initial work to do and likely more ongoing
work than using Microsoft supplied command line interfaces.

I did stumble into this info and found it quite eye opening on this
topic to.  ( http://www.intel.com/it/pdf/active-directory.pdf )

Please let us (or at least me) know what you end up doing. :) I am sure
there are others out there that would like to let ARS manage their AD
universe(s) too.

I believe the binaries assume ActiveState Perl 5.8.  You may
need to compare the version of perl you have installed (perl -v) with
the version of perl the binaries were compiled against (in the .pod

Hi all,

 

I am wondering what people are using for naming conventions when adding
classes to the CMDB. There is the convention of adding a plus sign to
the beginning of homegrown forms (and workflow). This doesn't appear to
be an option when using the Class Manager unless you create a new
Namespace starting with a plus.

 

So here is the poll...

 

1)   If you use the BMC Namespace how do you name your classes to
indicate they are homegrown?

2)   Does anybody create their own Namespace for their custom CMDB
classes?

Re: DSO replacement (UNCLASSIFIED)

2006-11-15 Thread Luke, Brian
There is replication for recovery, reporting, and archival purposes.
Which is more important you'll need to decide.
 
For recovery purposes:
So you have options as to what level to replicate at:
1.) Storage
2.) Database
3.) Application
 
Storage level is generally specialized, expensive, and one or both of
performance impacting and/or SAN constrained.  I'd love to hear of
successful implementations of storage level replication accross distance
(states), particularly with RAC.
 
Application level replication requires more administration by the ARS
Admin, but also places more control with the ARS Admin.  Likewise DB
level replication requires more DBA administration, responsibility, and
control with the DBA.
 
Frequently, Database Log Shipping is used (SQL Server Replication or
Oracle Datagaurd),  SQL Server log shipping standbys are open for read
access when not receiving logs, while Oracle standbys are generally not
open for use (query) at all until manually opened - at which point they
can not accept logs.  This approach has very low data loss potential
during a disaster, but doesn't address the offloading of reporting, or
off system archiving.
 
 
For reporting/archive purposes, application level transfers to another
ARS system works well when tickets can be quickly (on close, daily,
weekly) moved to the reporting/archive system.  This approach has
potentially higher data loss potential in a disaster scenario, but
better performance for the transactional system in day to day
operations.

Just to get an understanding/compass reading on how people are using

2)   How often are you reconciling?

 

 

As far as I go - we currently have over 1.5MM CIs with over 8MM

 However, when I backup my prod database and restore it on dev, the 
 Development Arserver can't talk to the dev DBserver.  The Remedy

 etc.
 I even tried some SQL query analyzer command to give ownership to
 ARAdmin
 but all fails.
 Is there something more I have to do?

 btw, ARserver 7.0 patch 2, SQL 2000 and on separate servers.

Subject: driver.exe: does anyone know how to use it?

I have been playing around with the Driver.exe file for a while now, and
although I am able to add fields which is not included in any views,
delete fields, and set some field limits, there are some specific things
that I have not been able to accomplish.

The two things I am looking to set via driver.exe is the following:
1) how to set up a field in a specific position on a view.
2) how to set up a menu to be attached to a character field.

Sure, I could simply just edit the form in question, but the form is
being used in six separate servers, with each server having its own
version of the form in question.  A driver script would be the most
non-intrusive way to add or change fields.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

TADDM (formerly Collation) is now part of the IBM CCMDB package
- which also includes their Change Management workflow module, so it is
generally in direct competition with BMC Atrium, Topology Discovery, and
Remedy ITSM.  I understand that there are a couple of integration
approaches they are working on however - talk to your IBM Sales Person.

If they don't give you and answer you like, you may need to roll your

Re: I Am Outraged! - BMC/Remedy is Outsourcing Support!!

2006-09-07 Thread Luke, Brian
I've heard rumblings about this as well.  I don't expect a complete
offshoring, but a substantial chunk nonetheless. It does concern me as
it is a potentially major shift.

My apprehensions can be summarized as:
1.) Language / Communication / Cultural Barriers
2.) Diminished ability for the support tech to quickly get a feel for
how advanced a caller is and adjust support tactics / pace accordingly
3.) Experience with other offshore support tells me they tend to have
very slow, rigid, scripted support methods that are of little use to
advanced callers.
4.) Severe loss of support staff experience with the supported products

I have no problem with BMC saving a dime so long as the customer
experience is maintained.  I can't imagine how a move like this _could_
do anything but hurt the customer experience in the short term.  How it
is in the long term really depends on the quality of the support people
as perceived by the customers.

So as always, if you don't like something - be vocal, complain,
escalate, and use the leverage you have.
A.) The discontinuation or downgrade of your support contract
B.) Withholding of new purchases, letting the sales staff  mgmt know
why.
C.) Consider the options of using other products (again, include BMC in
on the thought process)
These should send messages back up to BMC Mgmt throughout the support
_and_ sales organizations.

Another motivation for BMC may be that another common complaint about
BMC is that Maintenance costs are high - so they must reduce costs to
reduce the maintenance costs.  If they don't pass the savings on, that's
more leverage for use in negotiations (reduced quality without reduced
price??? Wtf?).


My 2 cents,
-Brian Luke

Subject: I Am Outraged! - BMC/Remedy is Outsourcing Support!!
Importance: High

Hello community,

I have it on good authority from one of my contacts at BMC that they
will be starting to outsource their support to Pune, India and Dublin,
Ireland very shortly.

Am I the only one who is outraged by this?

Our company already pays an unconscionable amount of money for Remedy
Support. If they start to outsource I can guarantee you that our company
will stop paying for support altogether next year because they will be
diminishing the value of this support drastically but our maintenance
fees will not be discounted.

So THEY will be saving a ton of money by giving us compromised support
but they will not be compensating us in any way (and we just renewed our
maintenance contract before I was told of this!).

In my experience, the second most valuable thing besides the actual AR
System platform from Remedy is their support teams and infrastructure.
If BMC is going to start carving the support infrastructure up and
outsourcing it, then thay are going to lose the second most valuable
pool of Remedy professionals next to the engineers themselves.

What is BMC thinking? The executives are obviously boneheads who have NO
IDEA of the value of the Remedy AR System product line and the Remedy
support infrastructure.

I have emailed Bob Beauchamp but have not had a response from him
regarding this direction.

If we can no longer rely on the past stellar support for this product,
which is critical to us in our rapid development environment, we are
going to seriously consider moving to another development platform
entirely where they have on-site American/English speaking professionals
- not underpayed call centre (KB screen-reader) reps who have no
understanding and no context of the platform, and no relationships 
restricted escalation paths with the Remedy software engineering
community.

As a longtime customer, I am personally outraged by this move and I am
insulted that BMC has not contacted us nor have they solicited feedback
on this initiative.

What does everyone else think? (Please, EVERYONE chime in on this)

What can we do to get BMC to keep their existing support infrastructure
and stop them from farming out their support to people who can not even
speak clear American English?

Re: Setup Dev Server

2006-09-05 Thread Luke, Brian
John,

By the DB is the same name do you mean the ORACLE SID or the database
server hostname?

With Oracle, the Db-name: ar.cfg parameter is used for the tablespace
name if it is not ARSYSTEM.
One thing that worries me about this config is that if the SID's are the
same, the only place they are differentiated is in tnsnames.ora - the
danger of unintended cross communication seems great.

What version of ARS have and are you upgrading from (this last time, and
tracing back?)  Check the contents of SERVER_CACHE and see if there are
references to old servers there.

Also, did you copy the file containing the ARS licenses to the dev ARS
server? -  try renaming it if you did.

One Oracle instance can have one or many tablespaces.  Each tablespace
can contain the objects for one or more accounts/schemas and keep them
separate (even with the same table names).

Re: Setup Dev Server

2006-09-05 Thread Luke, Brian
James / John,
I should clarify, the fear is not for cross communication between
tablespaces - Oracle  ARS handle that well.  The concern is if the
database SID names are the same, but refer to different oracle
instances.  If there was a tnsnames.ora copy / overwrite snafu, you
could have both ARS instances talking to one Oracle instance and not
even know it (If this is in fact what is meant by the DB is the same
name).


In thinking about what could be referencing the old ars server that the
installer would care about, I could only think of SERVER_CACHE left over
from ARS  v5 or a copied .lic file.  Table fields  filter guides would
not affect the upgrade installer I hope.  I can't think of other
embedded server references.
 
 I've never encountered the installer upgrade option complaining that
the database intact and accessible - that seems very wrong - so I'm left
to conclude that the database being present  accessible is not the root
problem.

I _suspect_ that the installer detects that the ARS database it is about
to upgrade is in use by another running ARS server elsewhere - which
could easily happen if your SID's were the same in dev  prod.
 
The other problem here could be that all of the oracle binaries and
config files were copied, including tnsnames which refernces the prod
instance - and it is actually Oracle generating this error message.  If
this is the case, the DBA will need to either:
A:) ensure that all references to the old db server hostname/ip in _any_
Oracle configurations are updated to the dev database hostname/ip
Or
B:) erase the instance and re-create it via standard tools/processes,
then export the data from prod and import it in dev.

Option B would be highly reccommended - who knows where Oracle stuffs
away information about where it is supposed to reside.

Why the fear?  If you name one tablespace ARSYSTEM for instance, and the
second ARSYSTEM1, there should be NO cross-talk between the two
tablespaces.  The problem here might be that the database was physically
copied from one server to another and there may be internal checking
that is failing and thus the error.

Den,
Based on feedback from

ARS itself on a 32-bit W2K3 box with the 10g/32 Windows client. In short, 
Oracle works fine on Linux/64, ARS may not work quite as well - I hope that 
improves, but it's what I understand. Another advantage of this is 
isolation of the ARS  DB system load.


So is your problem that 
the Oracle 10g/64 client won't work on Suse/64 or that ARS won't work with 
it? Can you use the command line sqlplus to connect to your 
DB?

only ARInitialization and/or ARTermination, these seem to work fine ! I
am properly following the order of calling ARInitialization first then
CMDBInitialization, but the second call gives compile errors although
both header files are in the same place! I have checked the sample files
and it seems I am doing it right, but still I get compile errors!

Help and Thanks,

Byron.

Hello - 

I'm looking for companies who have integrated newScale RequestCenter

Trying to gather information on experiences, issues, ease of

There are also a unix utility dos2unix that should have

ItsoundslikeyourproblemisyouaresavinganMS-DOS file on a Unix server. MS-DOS files use a 
Carriage-Return/LineFeed (Character 13/Character 10) at the end of each line and 
Unix files only use a LineFeed (just Character 10). Youneed to run a 
utility against against the file (with a Filter Run Process Action) to strip out 
the Carriage Returns (something like awk or tr should 
work)

Hello 
listers:

I’ve a problem with File 
System Plug In (ARDBCFS), the environment is OS Solaris 9.0 and ARSystem 6.3, 
and the problem is the following one, when I send a file to the unix file 
system, this stored like binary 
type instead of ascii, 
therefore the file keeps special characters and when it is process it sends 
errors. What I can do to change the type of file when it is transferred or 
stored in the file system?. The objective is stored the file in the file system 
like ascii type.
Somebody knows some 
solution?

Regards

Re: Group Definitions and Best Practices

2006-05-11 Thread Luke, Brian
I can say what doesn't work - having large number of groups and using
solely groups to differentiate _work assignment_, excluding
Region/Site/Department, Category/Type/Item, and Skills.

Or put another way, I'd recommend leveraging C/T/I, R/S/D, and Skills in
addition to group for work assignment.

Once users get in to the habit of only using the group name, it's
difficult to change.

Hi All,

 

I'd like to hear from anybody what their opinion is regarding Remedy
Best Practices regarding Group definitions. In particular an
International Enterprise. 

 

I know what the tried and true, as well as recommended practices are,
but would like to get some input about what works for different

Re: Redirect http to https

2006-05-01 Thread Luke, Brian
If you control the entry point, you can redirect via a META tag there.
It sounds as if you can't guarantee that all users will come through a
specific or even limited set of entry points.  

The solution in the article uses customized web server error pages to
redirect - not a bad idea if you can get it to work.  Try customizing
the error page for the 403 error itself.

I take it you saw some of the tweaks/settings changes needed to make it
work further down in the comments.

-Brian

META tag redirect page example:
htmlhead
titleRemedy on the Schweb/title
META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh content=0;URL=https://hostname/arsys/home;
/head
body
If you are not automatically redirected, go to a
href=https://hostname/arsys/home;/arsys/home/abr
/body
/html

Subject: OT: Redirect http to https

We are about to implement SSL for Mid-Tier.  I would like to have all
http:// URLs entered to be redirected to https:// automatically, without
forcing users to type in https://.  I have searched for redirect scripts
and tried a couple, but I still receive the You are not authorized to
view this page error 403 page when going to an http:// address.

I tried the 2 examples from this thread:
http://blog.opsan.com/archive/2005/04/17/395.aspx.

I must have missed some setting.  I don't believe it is ARS-specific
because I get the same error with a simple web page, for example:

html
head
/head
body
test
/body
/html

ARS 6.3
Mid-Tier 6.3
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6 (anonymous access disabled, Integrated Windows Authentication
enabled, Require Secure Channel (SSL) enabled, Allow ASP pages enabled)

Thanks.

Re: ARServer 6.3 on Red Hat AS4

2006-04-21 Thread Luke, Brian

We run Oracle on RHEL4-64-bit, but ARS itself is on 
W2K3.

Due to the different glibc versions, and the fact that 
RHEL3 was Linux 2.4.x and RHEL4 is Linux 2.6.x, I'm skeptical about the ARS 
server itselfworking on that platform.
