[Ilugc] Awesome story of migration to open source in a hospital at coimbatore
Here is the awesome story of a hospital in coimbatore migrated to GNU/Linux, written by a doctor. quote The Great Dream … This post is my dream .. or has been for about 4 years. A day that my hospital runs on full Open Source Software. First a little about me. I am a practicing Paediatric Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon. I am a Open Source enthusiast. I started using Linux 6 years ago and for past 4 year I am using it almost exclusively at work and home. The only time I use Windows is for the odd gaming. I do Python programming – web desktop. I dreamed that the hospital will implement an all Open Source Solution. I advised them likewise. /quote Read more at http://dreaswar.wordpress.com/2012/08/16/my-hospital-runs-linux-or-how-we-closed-the-windows-opened-the-doors/ Thanks for our young kid Kumaran (http://www.kums.in) for support and Dr. Easwar T.R. for the great efforts. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] Need help on issue with ldaps in zimbra
I have a zimbra mail server. Recently I wanted to move to ldaps from ldap for higher security. Did the following steps to do this. zmlocalconfig -e ldap_master_url=ldaps://mail.domain.com:636 zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url=ldaps://mail.domain.com:636 zmlocalconfig -e ldap_starttls_supported=0 zmlocalconfig -e ldap_port=636 zmcontrol stop zmcontrol start wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/How_to_enable_ldaps But, after this, external ldap tools can not connect to the server. I can query the records within the server using ldapsearch. If I do ldapsearch from external server, throwing following error. ldapsearch -x -v -H 'ldaps://mail.domain.com/' -b 'ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com' -D 'uid=test1,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com' -W -d -1 ldap_url_parse_ext(ldaps://mail.domain.com/) ldap_initialize( ldaps://mail.domain.com:636/??base ) ldap_create ldap_url_parse_ext(ldaps://mail.domain.com:636/??base) Enter LDAP Password: ldap_sasl_bind ldap_send_initial_request ldap_new_connection 1 1 0 ldap_int_open_connection ldap_connect_to_host: TCP mail.domain.com:636 ldap_new_socket: 3 ldap_prepare_socket: 3 ldap_connect_to_host: Trying 203.124.153.100:636 ldap_pvt_connect: fd: 3 tm: -1 async: 0 tls_write: want=117, written=117 : 16 03 00 00 70 01 00 00 6c 03 03 50 2d 1e 2e 73 p...l..P-..s 0010: 62 93 ae e4 3d 82 3a 3e d2 39 28 9a d1 e8 f1 46 b...=.:.9(F 0020: 0a 6f 01 fe 23 00 24 e1 47 c0 fc 00 00 30 00 33 .o..#.$.G0.3 0030: 00 67 00 45 00 39 00 6b 00 88 00 16 00 32 00 40 .g.E.9.k.2.@ 0040: 00 44 00 38 00 6a 00 87 00 13 00 66 00 2f 00 3c .D.8.j.f./. 0050: 00 41 00 35 00 3d 00 84 00 0a 00 05 00 04 01 00 .A.5.=.. 0060: 00 13 ff 01 00 01 00 00 0d 00 0a 00 08 04 02 04 0070: 01 02 01 02 02 . tls_read: want=5, got=5 : 16 03 01 00 51 Q tls_read: want=81, got=81 : 02 00 00 4d 03 01 50 2d 1f fa 0d e6 8e 77 c3 12 ...M..P-.w.. 0010: 05 c7 bf a9 f0 92 36 b9 03 50 38 c0 01 fd 5a 25 ..6..P8...Z% 0020: 0e 7e b0 36 70 22 20 ca fd 53 f4 2b ae 2c 4c f1 .~.6p ..S.+.,L. 0030: 96 fd 72 84 7b 9b c9 b4 79 fa c8 ed 89 7f 46 49 ..r.{...y.FI 0040: 9e e6 ea 48 df e8 a2 00 2f 00 00 05 ff 01 00 01 ...H/... 0050: 00 . tls_read: want=5, got=5 : 16 03 01 02 b4 . tls_read: want=692, got=692 : 0b 00 02 b0 00 02 ad 00 02 aa 30 82 02 a6 30 82 ..0...0. 0010: 02 0f a0 03 02 01 02 02 05 13 44 79 82 29 30 0d ..Dy.)0. 0020: 06 09 2a 86 48 86 f7 0d 01 01 04 05 00 30 81 8e ..*.H0.. 0030: 31 0b 30 09 06 03 55 04 06 13 02 55 53 31 0c 30 1.0...UUS1.0 0040: 0a 06 03 55 04 08 13 03 4e 2f 41 31 0c 30 0a 06 ...UN/A1.0.. 0050: 03 55 04 07 13 03 4e 2f 41 31 23 30 21 06 03 55 .UN/A1#0!..U 0060: 04 0a 13 1a 5a 69 6d 62 72 61 20 43 6f 6c 6c 61 Zimbra Colla 0070: 62 6f 72 61 74 69 6f 6e 20 53 75 69 74 65 31 23 boration Suite1# 0080: 30 21 06 03 55 04 0b 13 1a 5a 69 6d 62 72 61 20 0!..UZimbra 0090: 43 6f 6c 6c 61 62 6f 72 61 74 69 6f 6e 20 53 75 Collaboration Su 00a0: 69 74 65 31 19 30 17 06 03 55 04 03 13 10 6d 61 ite1.0...Uma 00b0: 69 6c 2e 76 69 6a 61 79 74 76 2e 63 6f 6d 30 20 il.domain.com0 00c0: 17 0d 31 32 30 38 31 32 31 39 30 33 35 33 5a 18 ..120812190353Z. 00d0: 0f 32 31 31 32 30 37 31 39 31 39 30 33 35 33 5a .21120719190353Z 00e0: 30 81 80 31 0b 30 09 06 03 55 04 06 13 02 55 53 0..1.0...UUS 00f0: 31 0c 30 0a 06 03 55 04 08 13 03 4e 2f 41 31 23 1.0...UN/A1# 0100: 30 21 06 03 55 04 0a 13 1a 5a 69 6d 62 72 61 20 0!..UZimbra 0110: 43 6f 6c 6c 61 62 6f 72 61 74 69 6f 6e 20 53 75 Collaboration Su 0120: 69 74 65 31 23 30 21 06 03 55 04 0b 13 1a 5a 69 ite1#0!..UZi 0130: 6d 62 72 61 20 43 6f 6c 6c 61 62 6f 72 61 74 69 mbra Collaborati 0140: 6f 6e 20 53 75 69 74 65 31 19 30 17 06 03 55 04 on Suite1.0...U. 0150: 03 13 10 6d 61 69 6c 2e 76 69 6a 61 79 74 76 2e ...mail.domain. 0160: 63 6f 6d 30 81 9f 30 0d 06 09 2a 86 48 86 f7 0d com0..0...*.H... 0170: 01 01 01 05 00 03 81 8d 00 30 81 89 02 81 81 00 .0.. 0180: c2 ea fe 28 84 d8 50 e2 e3 48 67 53 f2 68 1f e3 ...(..P..HgS.h.. 0190: ea 6f 4a da 6b 96 c5 31 3d fb 67 b1 9f 53 59 5c .oJ.k..1=.g..SY\ 01a0: de cb ee a3 f1 b2 fe 50 ca 70 95 78 86 a2 ae dc ...P.p.x 01b0: 53 52 bd 05 87 c2 03 32 56 3b 10 dd ef a5 4a 75 SR.2V;Ju 01c0: 67 4a a2 60 f5 48 86 bc eb a8 9d 61 ad 14 88 86 gJ.`.H.a 01d0: b0 f1 18 92 1e 68 65 99 9d 1a de c1 fc 4e c8 12 .he..N.. 01e0: 6d 6f 6a 39 9b a4 4b 22 f0 28 0f 64 17 2b 8b 01 moj9..K.(.d.+.. 01f0: ce 4e f0 59 ab cf 73 ea 6b cf f7 32 18 76 7f 8d .N.Y..s.k..2.v.. 0200: 02 03 01 00 01 a3 1a 30 18 30

Please suggest me until now we using windows xp and if we use linux we can reduce the cost cutting. Siebel is not a technology that I know, but I know that you would get more answers if you give some more details... like 1. When you say you want to 'connect' - do you mean you want the client to access siebel server from a linux box? 2. How is the usual siebel 'connection' from windows happening - this will give us some ideas on equivalents in linux Also, 3. How do you think you will achieve cost cutting - by not buying doze licences? Or is there any Siebel licenses that you think you can save on - pl. elaborate.
