for a development test bed I need to attach ANY linux machiene to a test AD Domain and do single sign on through it. Is there a Linux Distro that is easy to connect to AD?
I would like to configure Forefront Threat Management Gateway (formerly ISA server) to impersonate a specific domain user for any anonymous request to a particular listener. For example, for any anonymous request to http://www.mycompany.com, I would like to serve up http://myinternal as though MYDOMAIN/GuestAccount were accessing the site. Is this even possible in ISA/TMG? If so, where do I go to configure this?
Google previously indexed my websites pages (sitemap.xml) with below format:
www.domain.com/2013/04/18/hot?test-gadgets-of-2013-to-include-in-?your-list
www.domain.com/2013/02/09/rin?gdroid
I have resubmitted the sitemap but there are still 404 errors in Google/Bing engine.
Could you please help me to write 301 redirects rule in .htaccess file so when some clicks the URL for:
www.domain.com/2013/02/09/rin?gdroid
They should be redirected to:
www.domain.com/rin?gdroid
How we can write rule in .htaccess file to remove date part 2013/02/09/?
I have a website running on IIS and using Windows Authentication. All users that are configured to get access to the site are form a AD domain (not local users). In the properties of a Website, I have set to use the AD domain as the realm.
Now, when using Firefox, Safari or Chrome - Everything is fine. When the user tries to open the site, he get's the login box. he enters simply "username" and "password" (let's pretend that it's an actual login and password :P) and he get's into the site.
When using IE, however, things get nasty. When the user tries to open the site - he get's the login box. User enters the "username" and "password" again, but those get rejected! And when the second time login box pops up - it has the username filled in as "web-server-domain-name\username" which is wrong, because web-server-domain-name is not the domain where all users reside (it's "ad-domain"). I've spent days trying to figure out what's going on...
Note, that if I manually enter "ad-domain\username" - I get accepted into the site without problems. So, my guess is that IE sends wrong username if domain is not specified.
Anyway, IE is the only browser that triggers this behavior!
Is it possible to do a server-side fix? Maybe it's possible to somehow auto-map the users to AD users?
If it's not solvable server-side - is there a client-side fix for this?
Thank you.
PS: I'm more of a programmer than a sys-admin, so configuring servers isn't the strong side of mine... :P
UPDATE:
@Evan: Yes, "Digest authentication for Windows domain servers" is also enabled.
@Eric: IIS version is 6.0. The authentication methods enabled are: Integrated and digest - all other methods are disabled.
As for the security log. I looked at it, when doing "username" and "password" login in Chrome/Firefox and when doing "ad-domain\username" and "password" login from IE - the generated log messages are the same (I see no difference, anyway). When entering "username" and "password" I don't see any errors in the security (or any other) log, so can't tell what method it's trying to use.
UPDATE 2:
As suggested by Eric in the comments - I played around with Fiddler... While playing with it, I noticed, that when "username" and "password" is entered in FF and IE - the "Authorization" header value (encrypted) sent by IE is longer (almost two times) than one sent by FF.
I tried to disable Windows Integrated authentication and only leave the Digest enabled - that fixed the problem (meaning, IE used the right realm just like other browsers), but that caused bazillion other problems with my site, because with Digest - user impersonation on the server doesn't work (that causes problems, when connecting to database etc).
Any ideas?
I have 2 applications at the same IP with 2 different domain names. Hourjar uses [email protected] for the "From" field when it sends emails, and Nimikri uses [email protected]. If my my reverse DNS points back to nimikri.com, will my message from [email protected] be marked as spam?
Google shows up incorrect meta info (title & description) in search engine results for an add domain and the information is of the domain which is the primary domain of the hosting account. I mentioned this fact because add-on domains are in a sub-directory of the primary domain.
Any ideas what could be the reason?
Check this Google search which shows the information of http://katherinegaudette.com/
This domain uses roaming profiles for these specific users. I want to have files in the profile of every profile created. On a regular machine, I would put it in the All users directory. I can’t do that here because it is a roaming profile. Thoughts?
We've bought a domain through the free Google Apps service and use the Gmail account provided. I'm thinking of hosting our own site on a separate web host, but emails sent to our domain might be directed to our web host.
Is there a way to continue using Gmail while the domain points to the web host?
I've never dealt with domain names and web hosts before, nor am I experienced with web development (will use a CMS).
I have two servers linked by a private network but not participating in any domain. Is there a way to tell Windows 2008 R2 to trust a user from the other machine?
I am working on a Trading and Risk Management application and although from a C# background, I have been asked to work on SSIS packages. Now I can live with that. The pain point is that there is too much emphasis on business understanding. Trading (Energy Trading to be exact) is a HUGE area and understanding every little bit of it is overwhelming. But for the past two months I have been working on understanding the business terms - Mark To Market, Risk Metrics, Positions, PnL, Greeks, Instruments, Book Structure... every little detail (you get the point). Now IMHO, this is the job of a BA. Sure it is very important for developers to understand the business but where do you draw the line?
When I talked to my manager about this, he almost mocked me by saying that anybody can learn a technology in a week. It's the business that's harder. My long term aspiration is to remain on the technical side, probably become an architect (if possible). If I wanted to focus so much on business I would have pursued an MBA!
I want to know if I am wrong or too naive in understanding the business importance or is my frustration justified?
I am following this guide: http://d36cz9buwru1tt.cloudfront.net/pdf/EC2_AD_How_to.pdf to setup my domain controller. I get AD installed correctly, but when I do the promotion to DC, the server restarts and when I try to access it, I am unable to login using any of the local system accounts.
I even created my own separate user account, but that did not help. I made sure to disable the amazon settings for renaming the machine, the machine has a static ip and has been renamed.
I am putting together a site for a portal. Some of the subdomains have rather long names and I am thinking that maybe I should use hyphens to make the subdomain names more readable.
For instance:
alternative-medicine.mysite.com
instead of alternativemedice.mysite.com
However, I can't recall ever seing a hyphenated subdomain - is this because it is generally frowned upon - or are there technical (SEO) reasons why this appears to be the case?
In short, will hyphenating my subdomains have a negative impart on SEO?
Hi,
Now I have got an internet connection with Static Ip.
I want to know How can I map my website to my Static IP(Received from ISP).
I know this is not a good Idea for Security and Performance issues, But just Wanted to know as I can set up a test Project.
Again, Can't I just by a domain name and map it to my Static Ip, instead of buying them from WebHosting Providers. Now I have bought the space from bizzhost and hosted my site by setting the Name Server.
Thanks,
Subhen
So I have a problem - I have my main site on apache web server on debian on port 80; I develop a web server (in some C++ or C#) and it currently runs on port 6666. But some people are living under firewalls and can access only port 80. I wonder if it is possible via apache map all requests to say mysite.com:80/6666/url as if they were to mysite.com:6666/url, not map via redirection, but really make apache stream content from my site to user as if it were in some folder?
I've read tons of questions but I can't find the answer to this seemingly obvious issue.
I'm moving my WordPress site from domain.com to www.domain.com so that I can use CloudFlare. I did the change in WP and everything works fine, with domain.com redirecting correctly.
Do I need to add the www site in GWT (and remove domain.com) or will it keep tracking the website correctly thanks to the redirections?
For my company, I would like to create a single directory for each user in a server. Each directory must be personal, and I would like to create a desktop link to that directory. For example, in my server SERVER01 I need a simple structure like
users\johnsmith
users\robertgreen
users\johndoe
Each directory must have a limit of 5 gigabytes and must be accessible only to the single user and to the domain administrator. How to do in Active Directory? With a script?
We just recently attached a SWF to our Brightcove video player to report various events back to Google Analytics. We're also tracking page views with a standard GA snippet on the page where the player is embedded. As I understand it, because a unique has already been recorded for the page, any event being triggered by the player is getting associated with that unique.
However, we allow people to embed the video player on other websites. All of the event data started pouring into the Events section as expected, but we noticed a dramatic uptick in unique visitors on the site (nearly double) while the pageview count stayed relatively unchanged. Disabling event tracking brought the traffic back down to average levels.
I should also add that in the Pages section of Event tracking we're seeing URLs for other sites where the player has been embedded; but this data isn't showing up in the Content section.
It seems counterintuitive, but does GA count an event fired as a unique visit even if it's triggered from some place other than your website? Is so, there any way to trigger an event in the events section without it reporting to the unique visitor count?
Hi, I want to know after Google recent updates, will it be good opt to use same keywords for multiple pages? Say- my keyword is "driver update" and I have a folder "HP" in website. Hp has lots of models like HP Elitebook, HP Envy, HP Mini, HP Pavilion and much more. HP Elitebook has many versions like HP Elitebook 2530p, HP Elitebook 2730p, HP Elitebook 8530w.
Now should I create pages like "Driver update in HP Elitebook 2530p" , "Driver update in HP Elitebook 2730p", "Driver update in P Elitebook 8530w" or a single page "Driver update in HP Elitebook"?
Which one will be the best option for better SE ranking- " single page or multiple pages using same keyword for different model versions" ?
i have 2 domain, 1 is old domain, 1 is new domain
i setup my new site in new domain, but i wish to have the new www.example.com/testing/ redirect to the old domain's folder.
can it be done? how?
http://www.example.com points correctly to the IP address of the server where the site is hosted.
http://example.com (notice the lack of www) points to a different IP address.
The DNS records for the domain have no reference to this foreign IP address - what might be causing this?
I've got a client who wants to move his companies servers off site. As he is only a 10 person company I'm looking for some pretty in-expensive options. One option is the smallest of the Amazon cloud machines. The question becomes can I make one of these machines a domain controller?
Cost wise the Amazon machine is cheaper than the power costs of keeping a server (or a PC) up and running in his home office 24x7 thanks to the high cost of power in Southern California.
In window xp, there is a way to set up the setting to where it would force every single domain users to a single profile in an local machine upon log in.
But I can't find the way to do so in Window 7.
Does any body have any recommendations?
Hi there!
My problem is that I can't receive any mail with more than one attachment from one specific domain.
A mail without attachment is no problem. Some mails get throgh the queue after a time, but it's very random.
Here the smtp-queue, maybe it will help you guys.

I just purchased a domain name but I don't know what I'm doing yet. Before I get a hosting account, I want to test out some things on my own http://localhost/ How do I go about pointing the DNS to my IP address for my site? Please remember I'm just getting started and I don't know all the terminology yet.
I have a domain I recently purchased. I went ahead and pointed it at my website(via DNS) and by default, my server now serves my website on this new domain. Eventually, the new domain will replace my old domain(with 302 redirects and all that). However, I've not yet got my website ready for that because I'll need to do some rebranding and such.
Am I actively hurting my SEO ratings and such by having these two domains point to the same thing?
