Google are removing support for Java, and other plugins that use NPAPI, from Chrome 45, which is available in September 2015.
http://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation

Oracle are not providing an alternative interface for Java and recommend users use a browser that does support NPAPI.
https://java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml


Impact to IBM Web Content Manager 8.5 customers

Customers using Chrome will not be able to use Ephox EditLive! from September onwards. It is possible to re-enable the Java plugin in Chrome before then. See the resolution section for instructions.

Impact to users of IBM Web Content Manager 8.0.0.1 and earlier

Customers using Chrome will not be able to use Ephox EditLive from September onwards.

Additionally, the import function of rich text fields, which is used to import an HTML file and it’s images from the local workstation, will no longer function on Chrome regardless of the editor used. This is applicable to all design and markup fields, including rich text elements and components as well as menu and navigator designs. A fix for this is in development and will be available for WebSphere Portal 8.0.0.1 as an iFix and in a cumulative fix (CF) when complete. This fix will not be available on versions earlier than 8.0.0.1.

I follow the steps bellow to setup my IBM Traveler 9.0.1.4 to allow the IBM Verse App.

My Domino and Traveler is on the same machine using Linux.

1 – Install or upgrade the Domino server 9.0.1 FP3

2 – Install or upgrade IBM Traveler 9.0.1.4

3 – Configure Domino HTTP for SSL.  This link was very useful for self cert.

4 – I am using iPhone. The easiest way to import the self cert was sending the cert by mail and then install the cert on the iPhone.

5 – Upgrade the Domino Directory ( http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21699618). The current Domino Directory Template does not have a tab for IBM Verse.

6 – Download the IBM Verse App from the store and be happy 🙂

Need this kind of port today. The ssh 22 port was used on the firewall for another server. The admin publish the server using port 1234
According to man ssh:

 -p port 

Port to connect to on the remote host. This can be specified on
a per-host basis in the configuration file.

So you should be looking at:

ssh -p 1234 user@host

to connect to port 1234.

This week i setup Domino SSO with Windows. The customer will launch a SharePoint portal server and need a SSO with Domino Web Applications.

I follow this tutorial, the setup is very simple but some problems arrive.

The Domino server have the FQDN domino.mydomain.com.br  and the windows server  server.mydomain.com.br. The SSO doesn’t work.
I read the message  Attempt by HTTP client to authenticate using Windows NTLM security is not supported on Domino console.

After the AD administrator setup the user dominostart, he issued the command SETSPN -a HTTP/domino.mydomain.com.br dominostart.

When the user try to access a url of the domino server the browser show a logon dialog but the title of the dialog show the windows server name (server.mydomain.com.br).

I asked the AD administrator to add another SPN SETSPN -a HTTP/server.mydomain.com.br dominostart

Everything works after a Domino restart. :=)

If you want to use Chrome as your browser you need to start Chrome with arguments

/path/to/chrome --auth-server-whitelist="*.domain.com"

This week i spend several hours to setup a machine with IBM Cognos and IBM Connections 5 CR2 on SLES 11 SP3 using Oracle as database.

The Cognos wizard complete the CognosBI setup but Trasnformer not.

I set the logs to debug level and the messages does not help.

The problem was when the error appears the wizard roll back the installation of CognosBI removing everything from WebSphere.

After several reviews of the SLES libraries and Oracle client setup i made the setup only for CognosBI (previously i setup CognosBI + Transformer) successfully.

I try to open the cognos URL like http://server:port/cognos/servlet/dispatch/ext but the server doesn’t send any response

Reading the cognos.log i found the following :

Initialization_SESS Initialization_REQ Thread-70        CM        6304        1        Audit.cms.CM        StartService Warning
CM-CFG-5063 A Content Manager configuration error was detected while connecting to the content store. sealing violation:
package oracle.jdbc is sealed Runtime Exception stack trace: java.lang.SecurityException: sealing violation: package oracle.jdbc is sealed

I don’t now why but the installer copy the orajdbc6.jar into Cognos.ear.   I stop the cognos server, remove the orajdbc6.jar from the lib folder inside of cognos.ear and  start the server.

The cognosBI works and  Transformer was installed without problems.

The steps i follow

1 – Setup Cognos BI
2 – Stop the server and remove the orajdbc6.jar from the cognos.ear
3 – Start the Cognos Server
4 – Setup the Transformer
