Self Service User Licenses

2012-10-01 Thread Mike Hocks
My environment is 7.6.04 in windows w/ sql backend

Where do I adjust the number of concurrent self-service user licenses?  I have 
purchased additional self-service license packs and I want to update my system 
so we can allow for the additional users (non-support staff) to login in to 
self-service and leverage SRM.

Thanks,
-Mike

2012-05-16 Thread Mike Hocks
A question regarding a Load balancer and multiple Mid Tiers  Can I have 
multiple mid tiers point to 1 AR Server or do I need to have an AR Server for 
each Mid Tier? 

We are running the 7.6.04 from the Pre Config Stack Installer  on a Windows 
2008 Server with a SQL backend

Thank you!

Support Group Assignment

2012-04-20 Thread Mike Hocks
Is there a way to configure Incident Assignment Rules (i.e. Round Robin) for 
some Support Groups and not others? For example, we want our Service Desk Tier 
1 Support Group to leverage a Round Robin Assignment Rule but the Tier 2 
Support Group would have no Incident Assignment Rules, and incident assignment 
would be handled manually. 

Thanks,
-Mike

Secure LDAP and 7.6.04

2012-02-21 Thread Mike Hocks
I am trying to configure SLDAP and I am running into some issues with simply 
configuring the NSS Tools from Mozilla based on their documentation.  Has 
anyone configured SLDAP before and if so, I am looking for better documentation 
for configuring this...our environment is 7.6.04 on windows 2008 64 bit server 
with a SQL 64bit db

Here is the doc I am working from:
--
Troubleshooting SSL with Certutil
(updated 03/23/11-DR)
 
 
This document contains steps that have been used to configure SSL for use with 
the Remedy AREA and ARDBC LDAP plugins.   Most of the information in this 
document is supported by the individual 3rd party vendors, not BMC, but has 
been provided as a convenience to the customer. These steps were written from a 
Windows Server perspective but should be applicable, with some interpretation, 
to most Unix platforms.
 
-Certutil Documentation
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/certutil.html
-Certutil Related Libraries and Executables
For ARServer 7.5 and greater use:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_RTM/
For ARServer pre-7.5 use
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_4_2_RTM/
 
 
A.To export a certificate from Active Directories for use with AR 
System:
1.  From the Active Directory Controller, open the Certificates 
Console
a.   Run mmc
b.  Add Certificates Snap-In, local computer
c.   Locate the server certificate
 
2. Right-click on the certificate you would like to export, choose All 
Tasks, Export
3. From the Export Wizard, choose Base 64 X.509 (.cer) file and save it 
to the hard drive on the ARServer box.   We will refer to this folder as 
“c:\cert”
 
 
B. To generate a certificate that can be used by AR System for 
LDAP
1.  Obtain the CERTUTIL utility from Mozilla
a.   Notes
  i.
  The standard Microsoft Windows CertUtil will not work since the AR System 
used Sun LDAP libraries
ii. 
 There will be four files from seamonkey that will be in place in the nss bin 
directory, libplc4.dll, libplds4.dll, libnspr4.dll, and nspr4.dll
b.  Use FTP to connect and download the following files (use the correct 
location for your particular Operating System)
  i.
  
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_RTM/WINNT5.0_OPT.OBJ/
ii. 
 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.0.5/seamonkey-1.0.5.en-US.win32.zip
  iii.  
 
c.   Unzip the nss-3.11.zip into a folder on the server called c:\nss-3.11
d.  Open the seamonkey-1.0.5.en-us.win32.zip and extract the plc4.dll, 
nspr4.dll, and plds4.dll files, place these in the c:\nss-3.11\bin directory on 
the server.
e.   Create a copy of “nspr4.dll” and name it “libnspr4.dll”
f.   Rename “plc4.dll” to “libplc4.dll”
Rename “plds4.dll” to “libplds4.dll”
2. Create the cert7.db or cert8.db file
a.   Create a folder called “c:\cert” (unless it was already created)
b.  Open a command window and change directories to “c:\nss-3.4.2\bin”
c.   Create the certificate store
i.Certutil –N –d “c:\cert”
1.   This creates the cert7.db file or cert8.db file depending on the version 
of certutil
2.  –N is for new certificate and key database
3.  –d specified the folder to locate the cert7.db file
d.   Add the certificate to the store
i.Certutil –A –n certname –t “PTCu,P,P” –d “c:\cert” –a –i “exported cert 
file”
For example: certutil -A -n astro -t "PTCu,P,P" -d "c:\cert" -a -i 
"c:\cert\astrocert1.cer"
1.   This adds the exported certificate to the store
2–A is to add the certificate
3.   –n is the nick name for the certificate (to be used later)
4.  –t is the trust, Trusted, peer, Trusted CA to issue server and client 
certs, used for authentication
5.  –d is the cert store location
6.  –a is to use ASCII format
7.  –i is the certificate file to import
e.   Validate the certificate
i.Certutil –L –d “c:\cert” –n “certname”
For example: certutil -L -d "c:\cert" -n "astro"
 
1.   –L is to display information about certificate
2.   –d is store location
3.   –n is nickname for certificate (entered above)
Example output:
Certificate:
Data:
Version: 3 (0x2)
Serial Number:
5e:c9:54:50:18:2a:bf:a5:43:17:25:6a:ff:3a:47:fa

Mapping Approvers to an AD HOC Change Process

2012-02-01 Thread Mike Hocks
Hello,
I am wondering how to map approvers to an AD HOC Change Process...I see where I 
can do it and I follow the instruction in the guides to establish the approvers 
but for some reason when we run through the change request process there are no 
approvers identified and when that happen the change submitter can move their 
change req all the way through the change req process...

thoughts?

Thanks a lot,
-Mike

LogIn ID

2011-12-02 Thread Mike Hocks
Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if there is a way to change the Login ID on the user record in a 
Remedy 7.6.04 environment, for example we use part of the employees first and 
last name in the Remedy Login ID (The Remedy User Account is defined by the 
Active Directory account) when an employee's name changes we need to reflect 
this on the Remedy people record Login ID. 

Is there a way to safely do this?

Thanks,
-Mike
