RE: Direct Access setup

[Steve Kistenmacher]

I am trying to get the forefront UAG beast working, ran into the same thing
tried to use internal CA then found out about the CRL thing , we use entrust
for our commercial certs and asked if they could issue me a temp cert.

Haven't gotten to that step yet, although I do see that the CRL needs to be
accessible externally.

Just trying to get a working cert onto an internal IIS7 web server.

Could be you need to publish the CRL to be accessible from outside, most
third party certs are already set up to do this.

Working through the setup and have hit a wall.

Trying to setup the NLS web server and when I install the SSL cert from our
internal AD domain cert authority, it appears that the cert isn't intended
for a web server.

And the IIS7 cert request doesn't allow to select what feature the cert is
to be used for.

I'm guessing there is a configuration on our cert server that needs tweaked,
but I'm not seeing it.

Our PKI is working otherwise as computer are using them, laptops are using
them for wireless authentication, but this is the first web server I've
needed to install one onto.

Our other web servers are using commercial certs but for NLS a domain cert
should be ok.

Any suggestions?

Does it have to be a Windows box?  

Can you run 5 different instances of FileZilla Server in 5 different VMs,
each of which can only "see" what you want to expose?  That would certainly
limit your exposure, although I think you'd need 5 Windows OS licenses
(unless you ran FileZilla in WINE on Linux VMs -- it's gold-rated there:
WineHQ - FileZilla FTP Server
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8230 ).

No personal experience with these, but this looks like it will work for 99
euros up front and 39 euros each year:

zFTPServer 
http://www.zftpserver.com/index.php/base/downloadBuy

This old freeware standby has users and limits their access to folders, but
I don't think it supports multiple IPs:

My SAN Guy, basically is telling me that the role service of Multipath I/O
is added to the server when the EMC Powerpath is added but when the drives
are presented we are seeing two disks in disk management, not one, which the
Multipath software in EMC Powerpath is supposed to take care of. ( We are
using Version 5.3 SP1, on X64 Windows 2008 R2) 

 

Nothing showing up on the EMC site accordingly,  Any ideas accordingly?

OK, that works! 

It took entirely too long to get the IP set back to what the server says its

"automatically". 

The web GUI, though, shows that it is in fact "Manual IP".  Hope we can

I've got a problem for you printer guru's out there.  
Here's the setup:
 
Windows 2003 print server
3 flavors of Datamax label printers

Here's an example of how the printer works in our environment:
 ER doc orders a Lab test.  Order is entered into the system and a label
prints out in Lab.  

This has been going on for years (10+) and with very few problems.  However,
recently the label printer will print a label and go into Pause mode.  Or,
it will just print garbage or do a hex dump.  These all usually happen when
a label is supposed to print.  Recently we've started experiencing the same
situation with the label printers in Radiology.

We entered into a contract to have all our non-label printers to be leased
from a company (we used to just buy them) and have been replacing the
current printers with these new printers.  That, of course, means changing
the drivers on the print server.

I have been tearing my hair out (figuratively; at my age, it's a struggle
just to keep what I have) trying to resolve this issue.  I've got 4 of them
suckers and 3 are acting up.  Any help from the community would be greatly
appreciated.

I've installed a 30-day trial of Vipre. So far, I'm having mixed feelings
about it. It seems to be reporting more malware than AVG, but by default
it's not set up to quarantine anything. I didn't configure it correctly so
that got left at the default setting. Now, I have created a new policy that
I want to push out to my two users using laptops. I can't figure out how to
apply a new policy to individual "agents". Anyone here able to tell me how
to do that?

 

If I can get past some issues with Vipre, I'll probably ask my boss to let
me buy it instead of AVG when the AVG comes up for renewal in January.

I have already ran ipconfig /flushdns at my workstation and at the DNS
server. 

I have already said update the ptr record in the primary zone on the DNS
server and went to the secondary server and transfer form master. 

I have deleted the old entries from both of my WINS servers and
replicated. 
I have restarted DNS client service and DNS Server Service on the DNS
server. 

I cant see the entry in WINS console or the DNS management console. 

The Old name was servername1 the new servername is servername2. 

When I query the old name servername1.domain.domain.org. it comes back
with the address. 

When I query the new name it comes back with the same dam thing.

Could be a number of things really.. I'm assuming you're using GRE/PPTP?

 

1. His provider could be blocking GRE (IP Protocol #47).  This
would allow the VPN to establish (via PPTP), but no traffic would pass as
GRE is being blocked.

2. His router doesn't understand what GRE traffic is and is not
forwarding it (but again, the VPN gets established b/c PPTP rides over TCP
port 1723 - which all TCP/IP devices understand).

3. In the case of IPSec VPNs, he could be using an IP address
for his physical NIC that overlaps with your corporate network.

4. Your corporate network lacks a valid return route to get back
to VPN clients (probably not as you say it works for you just fine - but
just throwing it out there).

5. He's using Vista and didn't sacrifice a chicken and sprinkle
Holy Water over it.

 

Hope this helps!

Subject: What could cause this VPN issue?

 

Hi guys,

 

I have a weird problem and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting it.

 

I have a user that bought a new (Vista Ultimate) laptop. I am trying to set
up a VPN connection for them and have been going back and forth to their
house for the better part of the past week trying to get it working.

 

Basically, this user connects the same way I do with my laptop at home.
Through a wireless router, out to the Internet, in through our Netscreen,
and gets authenticated via our RRAS server. All IP info is assigned via
DHCP.

 

For me, I connect via the VPN, and I can then resolve names on the company
network and attach to server drives. For him, even though he has all the
permissions needed, he can't even resolve his computer name to connect via
RAdmin. 

 

The connection to the VPN works fine and the status in Network Connections
on his laptop indicates that he is connected successfully to the VPN, but I
can't seem to get any DNS services, even though I have it automatically
configured to get all IP and general DNS info via DHCP.

 

It's just so strange. the exact same settings work for me, but not him.
Could his router be somehow blocking DNS info but allowing him to connect to
the VPN? Doesn't seem like it could. It seems like once he establishes the
tunnel, anything should be allowed within that tunnel.

 

Any thoughts on what to try?

 

Thanks,

 

Evan

You can do self-certs if you want. But with a UC cert costing less than $50,
I don't know why you would. Waste of time and effort.

You need to go back and do the cert properly. It requires a minimum of 3
SANs in it.

And you'd be better off asking this kind of question in the Exchange group.

Hi chaps,

I'm having a 'mare getting Outlook Anywhere working on an Exchange 2007
sp1 box running on 64bit 2003 and Outlook 2007 clients. 

I've installed RPC over HTTP on the server, I've enabled Outlook
Anywhere in Exchange 2007, I've set up a self signed cert for the
external name, and opened up port 443.

When I set the the outlook clients up it just reports 'disconnected'. On
the outlook end I've set it up the same way I would when using SBS or
Exchange 2003. Everything *looks* ok on the server end. There's nothing
apparent in either set of event logs.

I guess I have two questions. Firstly, are there any logs somewhere I
can check to see whats failing? Also, does 'outlook anywhere' *require*
a cert to be used from a valid cert authority or should I be able to
just install the self cert on each of the client machines for it to work
?
