Sun One Web Server 6.1 Sp6 config files bug

This is very important.
SunOne (iplanet) configs are *NOT* xml
One space at the begging of the property Service in weblogic object in obj.conf deactivates entry.

NSAPI plugin is activating
There is no error that something is wrong with config

Decrypting 3DES in weblogic 8.1 configuration

Very useful tip, how to decrypt 3DES hashed password from configurations.

http://gustlik.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/decryption-of-configuration-passwords-in-weblogic/

You should add below code to class  from here:

http://geronimo.apache.org/apidocs/2.0.1/src-html/org/apache/geronimo/converter/bea/Weblogic81Utils.html

Below my version of main.
With some errors handlings

public static void main(String args[]) {
try{
if ( args== null || args.length<3 ) {
System.out.println("Usage:" );
System.out.println("arg1 = Server/lib or the Directory which has the requried JAR files");
System.out.println("arg2 = App Domain or the Directory which has SerializedSystemIni.dat");
System.out.println("arg3 = 3DES hashed password");
System.exit(0);
}
if  (! new File(args[0]).exists()) {
System.out.println("Path ["+args[0]+"] does not exists");
System.exit(0);
}
if  (! new File(args[1]).exists()) {
System.out.println("Path ["+args[1]+"] does not exists");
System.exit(0);
}
String beaDir = args[0];
String appDir = args[1];
String hashedPassword = args[2];
Weblogic81Utils weblogic81Utils = new Weblogic81Utils(beaDir, appDir);
String plainTextPassword = weblogic81Utils.decryptString(hashedPassword);
String configXML = weblogic81Utils.getConfigXML();
Properties bootProperties = (Properties) weblogic81Utils.getBootProperties();
System.out.println("---------------------------------------------------------------------");
System.out.println(hashedPassword + " == " + plainTextPassword);
System.out.println("boot.properties" + " <username> " + bootProperties.getProperty("username"));
System.out.println("boot.properties" + " <password> " + bootProperties.getProperty("password"));
System.out.println("---------------------------------------------------------------------");

Import private key and certificate into Java Key Store (JKS)

Receipt taken from

http://www.agentbob.info/agentbob/79-AB.html

This method describe how to

Import private key and certificate into Java Key Store (JKS).

firtst you have to convert key in  PEM format  to DER with openssl

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.der -outform DER
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -inform PEM -out cert.der -outform DER

in next step you can kreate keystore with java class below.

user@host:~$ java ImportKey key.der cert.der
Using keystore-file : /home/user/keystore.ImportKey
One certificate, no chain.
Key and certificate stored.
Alias:importkey  Password:importkey

/**
* ImportKey.java
*
* <p>This class imports a key and a certificate into a keystore
* (<code>$home/keystore.ImportKey</code>). If the keystore is
* already present, it is simply deleted. Both the key and the
* certificate file must be in <code>DER</code>-format. The key must be
* encoded with <code>PKCS#8</code>-format. The certificate must be
* encoded in <code>X.509</code>-format.</p>
*
* <p>Key format:</p>
* <p><code>openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in YOUR.KEY -out YOUR.KEY.der
* -outform der</code></p>
* <p>Format of the certificate:</p>
* <p><code>openssl x509 -in YOUR.CERT -out YOUR.CERT.der -outform
* der</code></p>
* <p>Import key and certificate:</p>
* <p><code>java comu.ImportKey YOUR.KEY.der YOUR.CERT.der</code></p><br />
*
* <p><em>Caution:</em> the old <code>keystore.ImportKey</code>-file is
* deleted and replaced with a keystore only containing <code>YOUR.KEY</code>
* and <code>YOUR.CERT</code>. The keystore and the key has no password;
* they can be set by the <code>keytool -keypasswd</code>-command for setting
* the key password, and the <code>keytool -storepasswd</code>-command to set
* the keystore password.
* <p>The key and the certificate is stored under the alias
* <code>importkey</code>; to change this, use <code>keytool -keyclone</code>.

X11 forwarding problems

If you setup X11 forwarding in putty. Then after SSH to server and user change via su then error could ocurr.

Xlib: connection to “localhost:10.0″ refused by server
Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted xterm Xt error: Can’t open display: localhost:10.0

To solve, back to oryginal user:

issue:

>xauth list
localhost:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  b31fa494b952390070d409890a3
14cfb

then on new user:

> xauth add server/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  b31fa494b952390070d409890a314cfb

nieoczekiwane problemy z rozdzielczością Dell SP2309w i NVIDIA 6600GT

Na kabalku DVI maksimum jakie można wyciągnać to 1680×1050. Za to na VGA D-SUB rodzielczności do koloru do wyboru.
Natywna rozdzielczość 2048×1152 dla Dell’a SP2309w  osiąga bez problemu.

Ustawienie większej rozdzielności na DVI skutkuje stworzeniem wirtualnego dużego ekranu którego wydzimy tylko kawalek w oknie 1680×1050. Co jest dziwne bo zodnie ze specyfikacją DVI – single powinno pójść nawet i 1920×1200 – wtedy dostajemy obraz w rozdzielności VGA.

how to extract part of log

Simple perl script below gets as arguments
1. Start pattern (could be regexp in single quotes)
2. End pattern (could be regexp in single quotes)
3. File path

It is opening file and prints  everything between Start and End pattern.

<code>

#!/usr/bin/perl

die “Usage: start_pattern end_pattern file [$#ARGV]” if $#ARGV<2;

open FI, $ARGV[2] || die “Problem with opening file [$ARGV[2]] [$!]\n”;
$START=$ARGV[0];
$END=$ARGV[1];

$in=0;
foreach (<FI>) {
        $in=1 if /$START/;
        print $_ if $in;
        $in=0 if /$END/;

}
close FI;

</code>

CURL and no Cache test throgh proxy

 

i=0; while true; do let i=$i+1; curl  -H “Pragma: no-cache”  -H “Cache-Control: no-cache” -I -x proxy_host:proxy_port http://site_to_be_tested/index.html; echo  $i; sleep 1; done

copying files unde Unix with perms and ACLs (cpio)

The easiest way is to use cpio command as tar does not copy ACL from filesystem.
<code>

mkdir /desitnation/folder
cd /source/folder/path
find . -depth -print | cpio -dumpPv  /desitnation/folder

</code>

‘-P’ – switch is important – copies ACLs

In other case you have to use hand made script which uses getfacl and setfacl commands.
For permissions processing best would be perl which use ’stat’ – for files properties and chmod/chown commands.
