TestDisk is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or
make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software: certain types of viruses
or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

For those that don't have vCenter or want to connect to a stand alone ESXi 5.5 host via the vSphere Client,
you'll need to ssh into the ESXi host and modify the following file: /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/config.xml

Insert the following xml line into the appropriate section:

<vmacore>

After saving your changes restart the service:

This happens if the last 6 characters of this path, ..../ruthwoodtli.ch/httpdocs/ (end of $temp_path), is NOT "typo3/" for some reason.
You may have a strange server configuration. Or maybe you didn't set constant TYPO3_MOD_PATH in your module?

If you want to debug this issue, please edit typo3/init.php of your TYPO3 source and search for the die()
call right after this line (search for this text to find)...

wenn man die auskommentiert bekommt man:
[PATH_TRANSLATED] => /usr/bin/modsec-clamscan.pl

solution:
In the file init.php located in typo3 folder is a variable called $temp_path.
The code seems to be unable to enumerate the
correct path within a php file located in the same folder
(like alt_doc.php).
$temp_path = str_replace('\\','/',dirname(PATH_thisScript).'/');

So I changed it to the absolute path like that...and
it's working.
$temp_path = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs/typo3/";


für unseren Fall: $temp_path = "/var/www/web062/html/typo3/";

Here are the steps that I did to build the rpm:

1. installed Red Hat 5.7 / 64 bit server on our VMWARE test (IP 192.168.172.23 / name rhel5-mw-64)
2. installed the follwing rpm out of the 5.7 image:
rpm-build-4.4.2.3-22.el5
elfutils-0.137-3.el5
elfutils-libs-0.137-3.el5
gcc-4.1.2-51.el5
3. download the tool "checkinstall" .. this is a creat tool to build rpm's
- http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/download.php
--> saved to /root/checkinstall-1.6.2.tar.gz
--> extract: tar -xvzf /root/checkinstall-1.6.2.tar.gz
--> cd /root/checkinstall-1.6.2
--> make
--> make install

--> command "checkinstall" is now available
4. download the perl module -> source files from http://search.cpan.org/~mshoyher/TacacsPlus-0.16/TacacsPlus.pm
--> saved to /root/TacacsPlus-0.16.tar.gz
--> extract: tar -xvzf /root/TacacsPlus-0.16.tar.gz
--> cd /root/TacacsPlus-0.16
--> generate the make file: perl Makefile.PL
--> use now the command "checkinstall"
check install parameters:

5. problem / warning when running checkinstall: ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/local/lib64/installwatch.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Solution: The problem occurs because the loader can’t find the shared object file. The solution is very simple. Assuming that the installwatch.so is located in /usr/local/lib, just type the following commands:
echo "/usr/local/lib64" >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/installwatch.conf
ldconfig
ln -s /usr/local/lib/installwatch.so /usr/local/lib64/installwatch.so

1. Stop mysqld and restart it with the --skip-grant-tables option. This enables anyone to connect without a password and with all privileges. Because this is insecure, you might want to use --skip-grant-tables in conjunction with --skip-networking to prevent remote clients from connecting.
2. Connect to the mysqld server with this command: mysql
3. mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
4. mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

NTFS optimieren
8+3-Dateinamen
Bis Win95 durften Dateinamen lediglich 8 Zeichen beinhalten und 3 Zeichen fü die Datei-Erweiterung (.doc, .xls, .pdf). Seit Windows 95 sind Dateinamen bis zu einer Länge von 259 Zeichen möglich und dennoch wird jeder Dateiname zusätzlich im 8+3-Format gespeichert. Da diese Funktion das System bremst und nur gebraucht wird, wenn die Dateien auf alten DOS-Computern genutzt werden (was sicherlich niemand mehr tut), kann man diese unnötige Funktion getrost abschalten.
Dazu gibt man in die Kommandozeile fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1 ein und drückt die Enter-Taste
Falls danach Netzwerkprobleme auftreten, lässt sich das 8+3-Format wieder mit fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0 einschalten.


Datei-Zugriffe
Das NTFS-System speichert für jede Datei, wann sie das letzte Mal benutzt wurde - allerdings benötigt man diese Funktion nur sehr selten. So verursacht das öffnen eines umfangreichen Bilderordners viele unnötige Schreibvorgänge, da für jede Datei der letzte Zugriff gespeichert wird (Dateivorschau sei Dank). Das Abschalten kann vor Allem die Lebensdauer von Solid State Festplatten um einiges erhöhen.
Um die unnötige Speicherung abzuschalten, gibt man in die Kommandozeile fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1 ein. Damit die Änderungen übernommen werden, muss der PC allerdings neu gestartet werden.
Um die Funktion bei Bedarf wieder einzuschalten, gibt man in die Befehlszeile fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0 ein.

Resolution:The new way to add static routes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems is to create a file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-ethX where X corresponds to the network interface you wish to use
the alternate route(s). This file deals with three fields: GATEWAY, NETMASK, and ADDRESS. Each field
should have a number appended to it indicating what route it relates to. The example below shows two
static routes configured for the eth0 network interface.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0
GATEWAY0=10.10.0.1
NETMASK0=255.0.0.0
ADDRESS0=10.0.0.0

GATEWAY1=10.2.0.1
NETMASK1=255.255.0.0
ADDRESS1=192.168.0.0
default route: route add 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.99 0.0.0.0

bootinfo -r #amount of real memory
bootinfo -m #machine model code

echo QUIT | nc -v -w 5 target 20-250 500-600 5990-7000

Netcat can be used as a simple data transfer agent, and it doesn't really
matter which end is the listener and which end is the client -- input at one
side arrives at the other side as output. It is helpful to start the listener
at the receiving side with no timeout specified, and then give the sending side
a small timeout. That way the listener stays listening until you contact it,
and after data stops flowing the client will time out, shut down, and take the
listener with it. Unless the intervening network is fraught with problems,
this should be completely reliable, and you can always increase the timeout. A
typical example of something "rsh" is often used for: on one side,

nc -l -p 1234 | uncompress -c | tar xvfp -

and then on the other side

tar cfp - /some/dir | compress -c | nc -w 3 othermachine 1234

will transfer the contents of a directory from one machine to another, without
having to worry about .rhosts files, user accounts, or inetd configurations
at either end.

- sound
Sound worked right out of the box. But when I tried playing DVD, the sound was really choppy, lagging a lot ... pretty badly screwed up! (I used omi_gtk dvd player from
the Livid project).
So I decided to use ALSA drivers as reccomended by quite a few people. I downloaded ALSA 0.5.8, untar it, and switched to the directory. Run these commands :
- ./configure --with-cards=cs461x
- make
- make install
After this, you can find the modules on /lib/modules/(kernel version)/misc directory.
Then, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf file :
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs461x
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss

alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

I have a Token Ring Auto 4/16 Credit Card Adaptor that works good with my SuSE setup. One major key to getting it to work was
having at least the 3.x.x series of PCMCIA card services loaded onto your machine. Additionally in your conf.modules file you'll need the
following verbage:
alias tr0 ibmtr_cs mmiobase=0xd6000 srambase=0xd8000 ringspeed=[16]|[4] sramsize=16 irq_list=9

removing passphrase:
openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.pem

Now I've got my server installed, how do I create a test certificate?

Step one - create the key and request:


openssl req -new > new.cert.csr

Step two - remove the passphrase from the key (optional):

openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out new.cert.key

Step three - convert request into signed cert:

openssl x509 -in new.cert.csr -out new.cert.cert -req -signkey new.cert.key -days 365

The Apache-SSL directives that you need to use the resulting cert are:

SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certs/new.cert.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/certs/new.cert.key

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

add user to gruop apache ..

chgrp apache apachectl
% chmod 4510 apachectl
% chmod 4510 httpd

The execution order is important. If you swap the command execution order you will lose the setuid bit.

Now if we look at the file we see:

% ls -l apachectl

LINUX & NOTES

The most frequent question I get about Notes and Linux: If you are using
Windows NT, do not let WINE use your Windows NT directory as it's "Windows"
directory (specified in wine.conf or wine.ini). Instead, point WINE at a Win95/98
directory or create a fake "Windows" directory and use that. If Lotus Notes complains
about missing DLLs, you can find the missing DLLs in the Lotus Notes installer
directories and put them in the Windows directory.

Howto (for systems that can dual-boot Linux and Win95/98/NT)

1.Boot into Win98/95/NT and install a copy of Lotus Notes client for Win32 on a
FAT or FAT32 drive partition.
2.If your notes.ini file is in your Windows directory, move it to your Notes executable
directory.
3.Boot into Linux and mount your FAT / FAT32 drive partitions. You may need to set
up entries in /etc/fstab for Linux to recognize and mount these partitions.
4.Verify that you have set up the X Window system and your window manager of
choice.
5.Download a copy of WINE (open-source Windows on UNIX) from
http://www.winehq.com/ WINE is evolving rapidly, each week brings new changes
and greater functionality, so it pays to stay current. WINE releases are named by
release date; releases before 981108 do not run Lotus Notes very well. You can
download binaries in .RPM format or download the source code and build it
yourself.
6.Create or edit the wine.ini file in your home directory. Make sure it includes
mappings for your Windows drives and that your Notes executable directory is on
the path. I run WINE as root (recommended!) so the file should be placed in
/root/wine.ini.
7.If you are using Windows NT, do not set your Windows NT system directory as the
Windows directory under WINE. WINE does not work well with the Windows NT
versions of system DLLs. Better to use an empty "Windows" directory instead.
8.Start the X Window system and your window manager
9.Start Lotus Notes using WINE. You can start 'notes.exe'. My DOS D: drive
partition is visible to linux as /mnt/windows, so: ./wine
/mnt/windows/Lotus/Notes/notes.exe

MRTG Latency script

> I'm looking for scripts to measure latency in my IP network. Can someone
> help ?

Well, since you didn't specify an operating system, I'll assume
that you're following in my footsteps and doing battle with NT4
as a server. Note that the following requires that you use the
ping.exe supplied with Windoze 95/98 instead of the useless ping
supplies with NT4. See the MRTG stuff somewhere on:
http://www.lns.com
which is from where I stole the script. I also have a somewhat
different version for Linux (RH 7.1) but which I can't get to
as I managed to break SSH and can't grab it.

------------
# MRTGPING.PL
# Plagerized by Jeff Liebermann from original by Tim Pozar.
# 09/14/00 First hack for NT4.

$ipaddr = "NULL";
$ipaddr = $ARGV[0];
$numpings = 3;

if ($ipaddr eq "NULL"){
print "Usage mrtgping.pl [ipaddress]\n";
exit;
}

# Note that "ping95.exe" is the Windoze 95/98 version
# and not the useless ping supplied with NT4.
#
# Windoze ping will return...
# Minimum = 494ms, Maximum = 574ms, Average = 520ms
$result = `ping95 -n $numpings $ipaddr | find /i "average" `;

# Break result apart at the commas.
chop($result);
($Mins,$Maxs,$Avgs) = split(/,/,$result);

# Break each value apart at the = sign.
($Mint,$min) = split(/=/,$Mins);
($Maxt,$max) = split(/=/,$Maxs);
($Avgt,$avg) = split(/=/,$Avgs);

# Remove the "ms" at the end.
$min1 = substr($min,0,-2);
$max1 = substr($max,0,-2);
$avg1 = substr($avg,0,-2);
$min1 =~ s/ //g;
$max1 =~ s/ //g;
$avg1 =~ s/ //g;

# Belch results in 4 lines.
print "$avg1\n";
print "$max1\n";
print "0\n";
print "$ipaddr\n";

If Perl is a bit of a heavy hammer, the following is what
I use on my SCO Unix OSR5 3.2v5.0.5 machines. The use of
the first ping return is intentional as I'm trying to plot
the latency of the Starband satellite flying cache, which
caches everything exept the first packet.

CISCO

-> see debugging from vty's: terminal monitor

netflow: (http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/FlowScan/INSTALL.html)
->
First and foremost, to get useful flow information from your Cisco, you'll need to enable flow-switching on the appropriate ingress interfaces using this interface-level configuration statement:

ip route-cache flow

Also, I suggest that you export from your Cisco like this:


ip flow-export version 5 peer-as
ip flow-export destination 10.0.0.1 2055

Of course the IP address and port are determined by your cflowd.conf. To help ensure that flows are exported in a timely fashion, I suggest you also do this if your IOS version supports it:


ip flow-cache timeout active 1

Some IOS versions, e.g. 12.0(9), use this syntax instead:


ip flow-cache active-timeout 1

unless you've specified something such as downward-compatible-config 11.2.

Lastly, in complicated environments, choosing which particular interfaces should have ip route-cache flow enabled is somewhat difficult. For FlowScan, one usually wants it enabled for any interface that is an ingress point for traffic that is from inside to outside or vice-versa. You probably don't want flow-switching enabled for interfaces that carry policy-routed traffic, such as that being redirected transparently to a web cache. Otherwise, FlowScan could count the same traffic twice because of multiple flows being reported for what was essentially the same traffic making multiple passes through a border router. E.g. user-to-webcache, webcache-to-outside world (on behalf of that user).

The fix is just to back up sources.list, delete everything in it and run "apt-get update".
After the update replace sources.list with the backup and run "apt-get update" again. You should not get the error then.

-> another resolution:
sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True
or
sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true

RPM update von libraries:
To add the new library to the shared library cache you have to run
ldconfig(8) as root. Additionally every program that is linked with
libmcrypt needs to be restarted. ldd(1) can be used to find out which
libraries are used by a program.

Another way to determine which process uses a shared library that
had been deleted is:

I just want masquerading! Help!

This is what most people want. If you have a dynamically allocated IP PPP dialup (if
you don't know, you do have one), you simply want to tell your box that all packets
coming from your internal network should be made to look like they are coming from the
PPP dialup box.

# Load the NAT module (this pulls in all the others).
modprobe iptable_nat

# In the NAT table (-t nat), Append a rule (-A) after routing
# (POSTROUTING) for all packets going out ppp0 (-o ppp0) which says to
# MASQUERADE the connection (-j MASQUERADE).
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

# Turn on IP forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Note that you are not doing any packet filtering here: for that, see the Packet
Filtering HOWTO: `Mixing NAT and Packet Filtering'.

If you tried to install the policy from the management console and failed, log onto the console of 'gateway' and do a:
fw fetch control
If that fails, try the following:
Logon to the console of "gateway"

IMPORTANT: You are about to uninstall the security policy. This will probably stop existing connections through the firewall (depending on whether or not you allow FireWall-1 to control IP Forwarding) and will also expose your firewall to potential attack.

Unload the existing security policy:



fw unload localhost


From "control", load a new security policy:



fw load policy.pf gateway

mail forwarding:
So, if Bob wanted to forward his mail to Mary and Joe, but also keep a copy of it, he could have a .forward that looks like this:
\bob,

joe@socrates.berkeley.edu

The backslash (" \ ") before Bob's address leaves a copy of the message in Bob's
account as well as forwards a copy of the message to Mary and Joe.

Installing VMware Tools from the Command Line with the RPM Installer
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_newguest_tools_linux.html

he first steps are performed on the host, within Workstation menus:

1. Power on the virtual machine.

2. After the guest operating system has started, prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.

Choose VM > Install VMware Tools.

The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.

3. As root (su -), mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image, change to a working directory (for example, /tmp), uncompress the installer, then unmount the CD-ROM image.

Note: Some Linux distributions automatically mount CD-ROMs. If your distribution uses automounting, do not use the mount and umount commands below. You still must untar the VMware Tools installer to /tmp.

Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom or if the mount point for a CD-ROM is not /mnt/cdrom, you must modify the following commands to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

cd /tmp

Note: If you have a previous installation, delete the previous vmware-distrib directory before installing. The default location of this directory is
/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib.

4. At the command prompt, enter:

rpm -Uhv /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-5.0.0-<xxxx>.i386.rpm

umount /dev/cdrom

Where <xxxx> is the build/revision number of the VMware Workstation release.

Note: If you attempt to install an rpm installation over a tar installation — or the reverse — the installer detects the previous installation and must convert the installer database format before continuing.

5. Configure VMware Tools:

vmware-config-tools.pl

Respond to the questions the installer displays on the screen
change user settings, for a directory:

ls -l |awk '{print "chown -R " $9 " " $9}' >test.sh
cardmgr ident -> see cards detected ..
/etc/pcmcia/config #have to match cardmgr ident ..

so funktionierts auf 770X
=> /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia => PCMCIA_SYSTEM="kernel" auf "external"

IP Routing,

Enabling IP Routing

By default, IP routing is disabled. To enable IP routing, you must allow the computer to
forward IP packets it receives. This requires a change to the Windows 2000 system registry.
When you enable the Routing and Remote Access service for IP routing,
this registry entry is made automatically.

To enable IP routing

1 .From the Start menu, click Run.

2.Type regedt32.exe or regedit.exe, and then click OK.

3.In a registry editor, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip \Parameters

4. Select the "IPEnableRouter" entry.

5. To enable IP routing for all network connections installed and used by this computer, assign a value of 1.
To do this in regedit.exe, right-click the entry, and then click Modify.
In regedt32.exe, click on the wanted entry, click on Edit, and then click on the appropriate menu choice.

6.Close the registry editor.

It is required to reboot Windows 2000 for this change to take effect.

I have used this in a configuration, where the Windows 2000 Professional system works
as a router between an Ethernet network and a USB-network.

How to Create a Startup Boot Disk for Windows XP

The day will come when some files required to start you computer will become corrupted and you won't be able to boot into Windows XP. This can be a heart-sinking event or just another day in the life of a computer user. How can you make it the latter and not the former? Create a Windows XP boot disk before disaster strikes! The boot disk will allow you to start the computer and boot into Windows XP and allow you to begin your troubleshooting. Just do the following to put together your boot disk:

Put a floppy disk into the floppy drive. Click Start and then click the Run command. Type cmd in the Open text box and click OK.
At the command prompt, type format a: and press [ENTER]. Follow the on screen instructions to format the disk.
Open Windows Explorer and go to the C:\ drive. Copy the NTLDR and the NTDETECT.C O M files to the floppy disk.
Click Start and click the Run command. In the Open text box, type Notepad and press [ENTER]. In Notepad, enter the following information:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
Default= multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows="Windows XP"

These entries will work if you have a single disk with a single partition.

In Notepad, click File and then click the Save As command. In the File name text box, type "a:\boot.i n i" (you must include the quotes, but not the spaces). Click Save. Then click Notepad.
Test your boot disk. Restart the computer with the boot disk still in the floppy drive. You should be able to boot into Windows XP with no problems.

DB2 Installation:


When the LDAP server starts, the LDAP software connects to a local db2 instance (ldapdb2)
with a password authorization. To ensure this password will never expire and bring down the LDAP
service, some special conditions apply to the "ldapdb2" user:

pwdadm -f NOCHECK ldapdb2
chuser login=false ldapdb2
chuser rlogin=false ldapdb2
echo ldapdb2 >> /etc/ftpusers
echo "export DB2LOGINRESTRICTIONS=NONE" >> ~ldapdb2/.profile #DB2 v.8 >= FP5
echo "db2set DB2LOGINRESTRICTIONS=NONE" >> ~ldapdb2/.profile #DB2 v.8 >= FP5


ERROR:
[root@localhost udb72]# ./db2setup
./db2inst: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file

SOLUTION:
=> create softlink:
[root@localhost udb72]# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

On SuSE 7.0 and Red Hat 7.2 on Linux for S/390 with kernel level 2.4.x, you
must download and install the compat-libstdc++-2.10.0-1.s390.rpm package. This
package contains compatibility Standard C++ libraries that allow older binaries
(created with old versions of compilers) to execute.
Even after this change, the ldapcfg, ldapucfg and ldapxcfg programs fail on
both SuSE 7.0 and Red Hat 7.2 systems. To correct the problem, edit the
/usr/ldap/bin/ldapcfg script to uncomment the following line by removing the
# in the first column of the line:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
You must specify the absolute path of the library.

Do you ever have the need to exchange .exe or .mdb or other "unsafe" files over email and find that the built-in security within Outlook 2002 (XP) doesn't allow you to open them? You end up getting a warning within the title of your email that says "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: test.mdb."

While I don't advocate doing this for the rest of your organization, and I know you won't, being able to take control of your security settings makes it easier for many of us - admins and experienced computer users.

To do this, a tweak to the registry is needed -

Run Regedt32 (or regedit) and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security

Under that key, add a new value name called Level1Remove with data type REG_SZ. In the string editor, put in the extensions you want NOT to be blocked separated by a semicolon (;). e.g.

mdb;exe;

In use since 1995 and on a variety of accounts.
Out of the box type software and works on discovery of network. Easy to setup and configure.
Platform - NT or Unix (Sun or HP). No AIX.
If the network is large with many elements (ports, switches, routers etc), then best use Unix.
They have used in network of between 5K and 8K elements.
Reports can be setup for SM or technical staff.
Has web i/f.
Can perform network (WAN & LAN), server and application performance management.
Has real-time analysis.
Excellent backup support from reseller.
Have used for SLA reports.
Great success with linking tool to Helpdesk and ease of reporting/tracking/communication problems.
VitalAnalysis - response times.
VitalNet - network components.
VitalEvent - Threshold limits etc.
Many features the same as Concord.
GUI very good and has web i/f. Can be setup with many view for SM, technical, CIO.
Has agents on end stations for end-to-end analysis.
No realtime data - minimum of two hours delay. Lucent don't say it's realtime.
Sample times are minimum of one hour, so it's already averaged - slight disadvantage.
Lucent will send data from end station to server, whereas Concord will poll. Therefore, Concord server has more load.
Support not always quick and responsive.

Achten Sie auf die korrekte Schreibweise: 'smtp' ist nicht das Selbe wie 'smtpd'!

Legen Sie nun die Datei /etc/postfix/saslpasswd mit folgendem Inhalt an:
destination.host.de username:password

destination.host.de wird in der Regel der Relayhost sein, den Sie verwenden. Sie weisen Postfix hiermit an alle Mails, die über den angegebenen Host transportiert werden, nach Möglichkeit per SMTP-AUTH auszuliefern. Etwaige anders definierte Transportwege werden wie bisher behandelt.

if there are more authentication sources defined in a vpn configuration the user is always authenticated against the default authentication source which is normaly the local Firebox-database.

There is the possiblity to specify the authentication source that should be used, be defining the source in front of the user, separated with a \:

radius\username #for radius as authentication source

-------------------
see more on the watchguard website: http://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/wsm/xtm_11/en-us/content/en-us/mvpn/ssl/mvpn_ssl_client-install_c.html
Use a non-default authentication server

In the User name text box, type <authentication server>\<user name>.

Examples:

If RADIUS is the non-default server: radius\j_smith
If the Active Directory server ad1_example.com is the non-default server: ad1_example.com\j_smith
If Firebox-DB is the non-default authentication server: Firebox-DB\j_smith
if you have the $ dollar sign in a string and want to process it further in some cases you need to escape the dollar sign:

$pwd =~ s/\$/\\\$/g;

Bash script:

cat squidLogReadable.sh
#!/bin/bash
tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log | perl -p -e 's/^([0-9]*)/"[".localtime($1)."]"/e'

HP ProCurve Switch Stack Firmware Update

1. save the config. (write memory)
2. save current software to secondary (copy flash flash secondary)
3. upload the new software to primary - it doesn't matter which way:
- via menu
- via web
- via tftp: copy tftp flash <ip-address> <remote-os-file> [<primary | secondary>]
3.1: verify image using "show flash"
4. reboot the stack (boot system flash primary)

Things to know:
- A "reboot" or "reload" (and the corresponding MIB) would cause only the commander to get rebooted.
A "boot system" would boot the entire stack
- uploading software to the commander will cause all members to have that software loaded as well
- scheduled stack reboot can be done via command job:
----> your-switch(config)# job reboot at 08:55 "boot system"
You can specify the default flash to boot from on the next boot by entering the
boot set-default flash command:
HP Switch(config)# boot set-default flash secondary

Booting from the default flash
Syntax: boot[system[flash | <primary | secondary> ]] [config FILENAME]
- system:Boots the switch. You can specify the flash image to boot from. When using
redundant management, boots both the active and standby management modules.

#reload command
This command boots the switch from the currently active flash image and
startup-config file. Because reload bypasses some subsystem self-tests, the switch
boots faster than if you use a boot command.

#schedule a reload:
- To schedule a reload in 15 minutes: HP Switch# reload after 15
- To schedule a reload in 3 hours: HP Switch# reload after 03:00
- To schedule a reload for the same day at 12:05: HP Switch# reload at 12:05
- To schedule a reload for some future date: HP Switch# reload at 12:05 01/01/2008

#scheduled stack reboot:
----> your-switch(config)# job reboot at 08:55 "boot system"

5. Login and install using the ./amdgpu-pro-install -compute command from the uncompressed AMD GPU driver file you want to use. (I’m on amdgpu-pro 17.30-465504.)
6. Power down and reconnect the risers to the GPUs.
7. Power up and hopefully your miner_launcher.sh will have you mining in no time.

This seems like a bother because it is. The AMD drivers are not that Ubuntu friendly. And the claymore software seems to take lots of low-level actions to enhance speed, perhaps at the expense of stability. But this ritual seems to be the most reliable way of keeping clean.

Always assume your mining rig could self-destruct at any time. Don’t keep any files only there if you would need them to rebuild. And keep notes on how to rebuild so you don’t have to repeat all the blind alleys you encountered on the first journey.

Good luck and happy mining!

#shutdown windows 10 remotly

idea: user samba-comman package on linux and then command "net rpc shutdown"

settings on windonws 10 to get it running:
problem 1: Connection failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT
solution : open windows fireall port 445 for linux machine

problem 2: Could not initialise pipe winreg. Error was NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
sc config RemoteRegistry start=auto
sc start RemoteRegistry

(2) problem: you get error: WERR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED on linux
solution: registry editor

execute shutdown on linux
net rpc shutdown -f -t0 -S inuc1 -U user%password

for example you want to run two instances, one installed normaly the other install as a portable firefox

>> the problem is that both instances are using the same profile by default!!

solution:

- open a firefox >> about:profiles
- create a new profile, called it for example "portable"
- no create a "shurtcut" for the portable firefox binary and add a >> -no-remote -P "portable"

- for example: C:\tools\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe -no-remote -P "portable"

vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor for Linux and BSD that keeps a log of network traffic for the selected interface(s). It uses the network interface statistics provided by the kernel as information source. This means that vnStat won't actually be sniffing any traffic and also ensures light use of system resources.

on destination switch / switch where analyzer is connected:
mirror endpoint ip < src-ip > < src-udp-port > < dst-ip > < port-# >
no mirror endpoint ip < src-ip > < src-udp-port > < dst-ip >

example: -destination switch is 192.168.2.250 > monitor port 24
-source switch is 192.168.2.233
mirror endpoint ip 192.168.2.233 7922 192.168.2.250 port 24

show monitor


on source switch / switch with traffic of interest:
Syntax: [no] mirror < 1 - 4 > [name < name-str >] remote ip < src-ip >< src-udp-port > < dst-ip >

example:
mirror 1 remote ip 192.168.2.233 7922 192.168.2.250

#add interface to monitor
interface 10 monitor all both mirror 1

problem: after cloning a 120gb ssd harddrive to a 500gb ssd, windows 10 does not want to startup

booting from recovery cd + cmd line command:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
didn't help to fix the issue

----

the following helped:

Type each command then hit <Enter>:

bcdedit /export C:\bcd_save
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.save
bootrec /RebuildBcd

problems: windows 10 start takes very long (60 seconds or so)

solution: search for "EnableULPS" in the registry and set the value to "0"

How to mount QEMU's qcow2 partitions:

using the "network block device" (nbd) driver and the qemu-nbd tool

step 1:load the module
$ modprobe nbd max_part=8

step 2: > make the image available as block device
$ qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /hdd-fil.qcow2

step 3: list the available partitions by using command:
$ fdisk -l /dev/nbd0

step 4: mount the partion
$ mount /dev/nbd0p1 /tmp/mymountpoint/
>> if this step fails with the warning: mount: special device /dev/nbd0p1 does not exist
>> run the command: partx -a /dev/nbd0
>> and repeat step 4!

step 5: disconnect partion + block device
$ umount /dev/nbd0p1
$ qemu-nbd --disconnect /dev/nbd0

>> TLS_REQCERT in detail:

TLS_REQCERT <level>
Specifies what checks to perform on server certificates in a TLS
session, if any. The <level> can be specified as one of the
following keywords:

never The client will not request or check any server
certificate.

allow The server certificate is requested. If no certificate is
provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad
certificate is provided, it will be ignored and the
session proceeds normally.

try The server certificate is requested. If no certificate is
provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad
certificate is provided, the session is immediately
terminated.

demand | hard
These keywords are equivalent. The server certificate is
requested. If no certificate is provided, or a bad
certificate is provided, the session is immediately
terminated. This is the default setting.

problem: the great mining software claymore will not work anymore for mining ethereum since end of 2020,
there is no official solution from ethos but it is possible to use a third party miner instead of the default etherminer, which
consumes more energy.

solution: install the phoenixminer

1) get miner-manager from github
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cynixx3/third-party-miner-installer-for-ethos/master/miner-manager
2) install the thirdparty miner
./minder-manager phoenixminer install


in your local.conf just update the "globalminer" setting to "phoenixminer"
Using the EthOS config:

globalminer phoenixminer
stratumproxy enabled
proxywallet 0xMYWALLET
proxypool1 eu1.ethermine.org:4444

Group Policies

On your domain controller, you must configure group policies that require Windows clients to audit logon events.

Open the Group Policy Object Editor and edit the Default Domain Policy.
Make sure the Audit Policy (Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Audit Policy) has the Audit account logon events and Audit logon events policies enabled.
Open a command prompt and run the command gpupdate/force /boot.
Motherboard Z390-A PRO (MS-7B98) MSI - trouble with more than 4 GPU
--> with CPU Intel Pentium Gold G5400 + 4GB RAM

Problem:
-----------------------------------------------------------

when the computer starts we get the following message, and have to visit always the Bios settings:

"!!!! PCI Resource ERROR !!!
PCI OUT of Resoures Condition:

ERROR: Insufficient PCI Resources Detected!!!

System is running with Insufficient PCI Resources!
In order to display this message some
PCI devices were set to disabled state!
It is strongly recommendet to Power Off the System
and remove some PCI/PCI Express cards from the system.
...... "


Solution:
-----------------------------------------------------------

using the following settings with the BIOS from January / February 2021, 6 Graphic devices (GPUs) could be successfully used:

Settings/Advanced/PCIe/PCI Sub-system Settings
- PEG0 - Max Link Speed: Gen1
- PCI Latency Timer: 32 PCI Bus
- Above 4G memory/crypto Currency mining: Enabled

Settings/Advanced/Integrated Peripherals
- HD Audio Controller: Disabled


Settings/Advanced/Integrated Graphics Configuration
- Initiate Graphic Adapter: IGD

Settings/Advanced/Super IO Configuration
- Serial Port: Disabled
- Parallel Port: Disabled

Settings/Advanced/Power Managenment Setup
- Restore after AC Power Loss: Power On

Settings/Advanced/Windows OS Configuration:
- Windows 10 WHQL Support: UEFI
- FAST Boot: disabled

Settings/BOOT:
- POST Beep Enabled
- Boot mode slect: UEFI

>>> The most importend setting, is setting the Integrated Graphics Adapter to "on" (Initiate Graphic Adapter: IGD),
after that, the warning vanished, and the systems runs stable

Device LLDP PVID mismatch

Beim Uplink ArubaOS zu Comware tritt der PVID mismatch nur dann auf, wenn auf dem Uplink Port keine PVID definiert ist (Comware)
bzw. kein VLAN untagged übertragen wird (ArubaOS). In diesem Fall setzt Comware die PVID auf „1“ und ArubaOS auf PVID „0“ = PVID mismatch.

Lösungsmöglichkeiten:

1. Sie übertragen beim Uplink ein VLAN untagged (ArubaOS) und definieren auf dem Comware eine PVID (z.B. Management VLAN).
2. Sie deaktivieren die ausgehende LLDP PVID Nachrichten Portbezogen auf beiden Seiten (z.B. Port 11)

problem occured on ubuntu 18.04.xx

>> connect not possible via:
mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306

>> only connect via console / pipe is possible



solution 1: create an extra database admin user for network access
--------------------------------------
Mysql –u root –p
#create user sqladmin
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'sqladmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';

#grant all privileges to the user
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'sqladmin'@'localhost';

#making the changes take effekt
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;




solution 2: enable root user
--------------------------------------

libreoffice - make unix timestamp readable

sample timestamp=1499015644 >> written in cell B2:

to get human readable time use the following:
=B2/86400+25569 and format the cell to data format

>> now you should see the human readable date: 02.07.2017

explanation to formula:
- 86400 is the number of seconds of a day (60s * 60 * 24)
- 25569 is the number of days from 30.12.1899 until 01.01.1970 (unix timestamp)
> 30.12.1899 is somehow the day in in libreoffice

checkmk - windows netstat plugin: netstat_an.bat

1) on windows system install checkmk agent > 1.6
1.) enable netstat plugin by copy netstat_an.bat
from source: c:\Program Files (x86)\checkmk\service\plugins
to destination: c:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins
2) now you should see netstat information in the plugin output
(test using: telnet <ip> 6556)

3) to see something in checkmk you need to enable a manual check!
Manual Checks:
>> Monitor specific TCP/UDP connections and listeners
- Checktype: win_netstat - Established TCP Connections or TCP/UDP Listeners

hiveos - network interface kills the local network

problem: a rig with nvidea rtx 3080 cards kills from time to the the whole network and also the wlan
on the fritzbox (7490) - seen with hive os version: 5.4.80-hiveos · H 0.6-190 · N 465.24.02 (april 2021)

solution:
>> see also https://forum.hiveos.farm/t/asus-b250-asrock-h110-e1000e-nic-hangs-entire-network-solution/32708

>> steps to do

1.)use command: ethtool -i eth0
to see your driver

root@myrig:~# ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000e
version: 3.8.4-NAPI
firmware-version: 0.2-4

>> if it's an intel driver continue, if not I don't know if it helps as well ;-)

2.) turn off tcp-segmentation-offload and alos generic-segementation-offload
> in file /etc/network/interfaces, add the following line:
post-up ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off

2.1) reboot the system


3.) now check if the settings have applied, by using command:
ethtool -k eth0 |grep tcp-segmentation-offload
ethtool -k eth0 |grep tx-tcp-segmentation
ethtool -k eth0 |grep generic-segmentation-offload
>> all the parameters above should now be "off"

problem: because of windows security enhancements the plugin does not deliver values anymore

solution: add a path to the schtask command:

>> added:
- cd $env:systemroot
- cd system32
- $tasks = .\schtasks.exe /query /fo csv -v | ConvertFrom-Csv

instead of just running "$task = schtask /query ...."


--- the workaround code with the enhancement is here below:
#
# Monitor Windows Tasks
#
cd $env:systemroot
cd system32

Write-Host "<<<windows_tasks:sep(58):encoding(cp437)>>>"

Alternatively, you could copy your private keys over by using chia keys add, but this is less secure. After creating a plot, run chia plots check to ensure everything is working correctly.

solution
---------------------------------------
in ....../etc/check_mk/conf.d/wato there are invalid characters, find them using:
grep -r "\xa0" *

replace this character through nothing:
>>> perl -pi -e "s/\\\xa0//g;" * : ....../etc/check_mk/conf.d/wato

check again: cmk-update-config -v

remove invalid mkp packages:
- to find them: mkp list
- remove them using mkp rm <package-name>

some other errors in rules.mk:

how to find out used policies on a watchguard?

1) configure dimension command (subscription / feature is necessary) and see the policy hit counter in watchguard dimension

2) without dimension command, just use this command on the watchguard console (ssh <watchguard-ip> 4118):
show connection count by-policy

you should see a list something like this:

--
-- Connection Information
--
Policy Name Current Connections Total Connections Total Discards
FTP-noProxy.out 0 0 0
FTP-proxy.out 21 602 0
SSH.out 0 17 0

- a domain member is in DMZ, for example a Remote Desktop Farm and the users are authenticated through the domain

->> you need to open a lot of ports to get things running

>> see also document at microsoft page: Service overview and network port requirements for Windows

Note

When possible use modifications that can be removed so the device can be returned for service in the same condition that it was provided as at time of purchase.

Otherwise it is likely the warranty would be void.

If a customer makes a decision that it is acceptable to void the warranty and chooses to paint the device anyway, here are some guidelines when painting RF (Access Point) devices.

Tip

Use a paint that has no conductive properties (i.e. metal colored flakes etc.)

Here are some paints that were tested that displayed good RF characteristics.

Aruba Instant version 8.5.0.1 now supports multiple PSKs (MPSK) for the same SSID. This means that each client
connected to the PSK based SSID will have its own unique PSK that is not shared with the rest of the clients. This feature
requires Aruba ClearPass 6.8.x to be the authentication server.

(1): global config for fcgid module:
>> add line " FcgidMaxRequestLen 8388608" to file:

TFTP Server : NA

Status : Failed - Custom startup configuration detected
Aruba Central Location : NA
Force-Provision : Disabled
HTTP Proxy Location : NA



from Aruba documentation:
Zero Touch Provisioning

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) enables the auto-configuration of factory default switches without a network administrator onsite.
When a switch is booted from its factory default configuration, ZTP autoprovisions the switch by automatically downloading and
installing a firmware file, a configuration file, or both.
With ZTP, even a nontechnical user (for example: a store manager in a retail chain or a teacher in a school)
can deploy devices at a site.


#handle with care ;-)
ztp force-provision
Usage
DHCP options received are processed independent of he current state of configuration on the switch.
Previous ZTP TFTP Server, Image File, Configuration File, Aruba Central Location, and HTTP Proxy location
options are cleared and the switch sends a DHCP request.
>> disable with "no ztp force-provision"

arubaos / procurve switche - find out ip address of connected clients

option (1):
-----------------
one way to do that in a nice way is using "ip client-tracker"

command: ip client-tracker

# Enables or disables the visibility of statically and
# dynamically assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for both
# authenticated clients and non-authenticated clients

to see the clients run the command: show port-access clients


option (2)
----------------
the other way is using dhcp snooping

commands:
DHCP-Snooping Configuration:

(MySwitch)<config># dhcp-snooping enable
(MySwitch)<config># dhcp-snooping vlan 1099
(MySwitch)<config># show dhcp-snooping

and define a trusted interface where the dhcp answers are allowed to come from, for example:
Interface trk1
dhcp-snooping trust
exit

to see the clients run the command: show dhcp-snooping binding
virtual linux ubuntu 20 - how to increase / root partition

solution:
1) increase harddrive in hosting environment (for example in vmware)
2) boot virtual linux system
3) cfdisk > resize partition
4) resize pvs: pvresize /dev/sda3
5) extend logical volume: lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
6) finaly resize filesystem: resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
7) check with: df -h

---- /etc/sysconfig/network-scirpts/ifcfg-eth0 #change mac to new mac + ip
---- /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules #change mac to new mac
4) shutdown system

To enable the SNMPv3 agent, the following criteria must be met:
A BMC contact is specified
A BMC location is specified

Server Configuration > Server Properties:
define contact and building (= location)

(2) add a local user
BMC Configuration
User /LDAP > Global Settings: unset option "Force to change password on first access"
User/LDAP: add a local user
monitor / <password>
Authority level: Read-only
under SNMP Settings choose Authentication protocol "HMAC-SHA"

(3) enable snmp-v3
BMC Configuration
Network > SNMP setup
>> Enable SNMPv3 Agent >> Apply

(4) test snmp query
snmpwalk -v 3 -u monitor <host||ip-address> #if there is no Authentication protocol
snmpwalk -v 3 -u monitor <host||ip-address> -l authNoPriv -a SHA -A <password> #if Authentication protocol = HMAC-SHA

(5) don't forget to disable password expiration!
BMC Configuration
User /LDAP > Global Settings:
Password expiration period: 0
Password expiration warning period:0

(1) snmp default community is public, make sure to define another community, e.g. companypub
switch(config)# snmp-server community companypub

(2) Create an SNMPv3 user using SHA for authentication and AES for privacy:
switch(config)# snmpv3 user checkmk-monitoring auth sha auth-pass plaintext passAuth01 priv aes priv-pass plaintext passAuth02

(3) create an SNMPv3 context with the community name created above and assigned to the mgmt VRF:
switch(config)# snmpv3 context snmpv3mgmt vrf mgmt community companypub

(4) Enable SNMP on the VRF, that is used for switch monitoring:
switch(config)# snmp-server vrf mgmt

(5) optional
Disable support for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c and only accept SNMPv3 messages using the following command:
switch(config)# snmp-server snmpv3-only

windows server - how to change a subnet mask of a dhcp scope

for example change subnet mask from a scope 172.16.0.0/16 to 172.16.99.0/24

1) export to xml file using powershell
Export-DhcpServer -Computername <name of computer> -Leases -File C:\export_dhcpserver.xml -verbose

<name of computer could be 127.0.0.1 or localhost if do export the configuration directly from the server>

2) make a copy of the exported file, name it: import_dhcpserver.xml

3) edit the import_dhcpserver.xml file and replace the dhcp scope section,
and all lease entries that reference to the section name:

3.1) dhcp scope section, change the ScopeId + the subnet mask
<Scopes>
<Scope>
<ScopeId>172.16.99.0</ScopeId>
<Name>intern</Name>
<SubnetMask>255.255.255.0</SubnetMask> #change subnet mask here
<StartRange>172.16.99.1</StartRange>


3.2) dhcp lease entrie, make sure to change the ScopeId to the new scope id
<Lease>
<IPAddress>172.16.99.177</IPAddress>
<ScopeId>172.16.99.0</ScopeId> #change the scope ip here


4) delete the scope id(s) from the dhcp server, using the dhcp admin tool

5) now import the new file:
Import-DhcpServer -Computername <name of computer> -Leases -File C:\import_dhcpserver.xml -BackupPath C:\dhcpbackup\ -Verbose


6) Restart both DHCP client and Server services

7) check the dhcp tool if everything looks fine
hpe switch mac adress 000000-000000 in arp cache - what does it mean?

>> this is the result of an arp request, with no response

let's assume you have a subnet 192.168.2.0/24 and you ping the not existing ip address (not reachable ip address) "192.168.2.99" from the switch, then the arp table of your HPE Procurve / ArubaOs Switch will look like:

switch## show arp

IP ARP table

IP Address MAC Address Type Port
--------------- ----------------- ------- ----
192.168.2.13 abcdef-23df33 dynamic 1
192.168.2.99 000000-000000 dynamic

>> in the next 5 minutes (or dependant of your arp cache settings) you will see the 192.168.2.99 000000-000000 entry
when restarting windows, it may happen that windows performs a quick restart

ArubaOS-CX wake on lan / ip directed broadcast

how to handle wake on lan packets on ArubaOS-CX switches?

using ip directed broadcast to get WOL (wake on LAN) running over different routed subnets.

On ArubaOS-CX switches IP directed broadcast is supported on:
- Route Only Port (ROP)
- Switched Virtual Interface (SVI)
- Layer 3 Link Aggregation Group (L3LAG) interfaces

example:
turn ip directed broadcast on for vlan 999:
switch(config)# interface vlan 999
no shutdown
ip address 10.0.21.1/24
ip directed-broadcast

> now all ip directed broadcast will be "broadcasted" to all members in vlan 999

> ACL (Access lists) can be used to only allow this ip-directed broadcast from specific ip-adresses,
for example only ip 10.0.20.20 is allowed to send wol
access-list ip ipdb
10 permit udp 10.0.20.20 any eq 7
100 deny udp any any eq 7

#apply access list on interface where the packets are initiated
interface vlan500
apply access-list ip ipdb routed-in


#commands
show ip interface vlan999 #show ip directed broadcast status on interface
show ip directed-broadcast #gives you an overview where ip directed broadasts are enabled

after upgrading HPE IMC to version 7.3 E0706P06 there are many many log messages like:
Interface Switch loopbackup interface-5073 of device, address 127.0.0.1 is duplicate

-------------------------------------------------------
Solution from HPE:
-------------------------------------------------------
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=sf000076717en_us&docLocale=en_US

cause:
A new Duplicate IP trap has been added in IMC 7.3 E0706P06, and does not ignore the loopback address.

Workround:
1. Stop imcnetresdm process in IDMA

2. Back up $IMC/server/conf/qvdm.conf to the desktop.

3. Edit the original file, adding the line at the end of the file:
DupIpConflictAlarm=false
add another blank line and save the file.

4. Start imcnetresdm process in IDMA
read the readme file that comes with the update package.

document the theoretical update path, if you have to apply several update steps, like for example, if you have E0703 installed, the update path would be:
imc: JG748AAE 7.3 (E0703)
>> update path: 7.3 (E0705)
>> update path: 7.3 (E0706)>> P06
>> update path: 7.3 (E0706P06) >> update Hotfix (because of log4j security issue)

Once you have downloaded and extraced the update files in a directory that can be access by the IMC server and its Deployment Monitoring Agent, you can follow this steps (this steps are also within the readme file!)

update steps:
--------------------------------

1 Back up the IMC database on the Environment tab in the Deployment Monitoring Agent.
2 Manually copy the IMC installation directory to a backup path.
3 Stop IMC in the Deployment Monitoring Agent.
4 Restart IMC server.
5 Click Install on the Monitor tab of the Deployment Monitoring Agent
6 Select the windows/install/components directory in the upgrade package and click OK.
7 Click OK in the popup message dialog box.
8 Click Start in the Upgrade Common Components dialog box to upgrade common components.
9 After common components are upgraded, click Close.
10 In distributed deployment mode, stop the Deployment Monitoring Agent on the master server and restart the Deployment Monitoring Agent on every subordinate server. Click Yes in the popup message dialog box to upgrade common components on every subordinate server.
11 The Deployment Monitoring Agent displays all components that need to be upgraded. Click OK to start upgrading.
12 In distributed deployment mode, upgrade all components deployed on every subordinate server.
13 After all components are updated, start all processes in the Deployment Monitoring Agent.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>> when you have trouble after the update:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if the IMC does not start after your update session, make sure to undeploy all packages that have still an old version, like vor example the old WLAN management module etc.

checkmk - how to handle Windows event logs / logwatch messages

sometimes you want to ignore or change the status some windows event logs if you are monitoring the using the checkmk windows agent.

1) create a test event in system logs
eventcreate /ID 999 /L System /SO TestSourceSystem /T ERROR /D "this is a test critical test message"

2) in checkmk you will get a Critical message for service Log System, now let us create a rule, so that the event
should be shown as "warning" instead of "critical"

3.) create a rule > add a Logfile pattern rule
- Setup > Services > Service monitoring rules > Logfile patterns
- Create rule in folder "Main directory" / or another directory that you want to choose
- Description: this is a test critical test message
- Logfile pattern > Add pattern:
choose State "Warning" + Pattern "this is a test critical test message"
- Logfile to match: System

4.) test the rule - using "Try Pattern Match"
- at the service of the host click on: Log System > Open Log
- select the message "TestSourceSystem this is a test critical test message", by clicking on the symbol in the left
- now the dialog "Setup > Services > Service monitoring rules > Logfile patterns >
Logfile patterns of logfile System on host xyz" opens:
- press the "Try out" button, and see if the defined rule from step "3" matches

5.) final test
-> create the event again --> step 1

# HPE IMC - using SFTP / SCP to upload firmware
##################################################################

if you need to debug SFTP / SCP process there are log files under
/opt/iMC/server/conf/log/*.log ....
This logs are a bit confusing .. so sometimes it makes sense to have the understand
how the copy process will work manual. Therefore some testing was made. Here comes the result:

-----------------------
prerequisites
-----------------------
To turn on the secury copy feature it is necessary to set "ip ssh filetransfer" on the switch:

using the command show ip ssh, you see the settings:
(config)# show ip ssh

SSH Enabled : Yes Secure Copy Enabled : Yes
TCP Port Number : 22 Timeout (sec) : 120
Host Key Type : RSA Host Key Size : 2048

>> Secury Copy Enabled has to be yes!


------------------------
sftp firmware deploy tests / using manual sftp / psftp / scp commands
------------------------

FIRMWARE located on IMC
firmware that is stored in the ICM software database is located in directory: <IMC directory>/server/data/image,
for example:
windows: c:\program files\iMC\server\data\image
/opt/iMC/server/data/image/YA_16_11_0003.swi
/opt/iMC/server/data/image/YA_15_18_0007.swi

FIRMWARE destionation on HPE / Aruba / procurve switch
the firmware files are under directory:
- /os/primary
- /os/secondary

- copy via sftp by using the psftp command from IMC
lets copy firmware YA_15_18_0007.swi via SFTP to a HPE Aruba 2530 8 Port Switch (J9774A):

#starting in directory: /opt/iMC/server/bin/

/opt/iMC/server/bin/psftp -P 22 admin@10.0.0.99
#once you are logged in change the local data path using command:

psftp> lpwd
Current local directory is /opt/iMC/server/bin
psftp> put ../data/image/YA_16_11_0003.swi /os/secondary
local:../data/image/YA_16_11_0003.swi => remote:/os/secondary

>> file copied successfully

- copy via scp (scp from a linux machine)
scp /opt/iMC/server/data/image/YA_15_18_0007.swi admin@10.0.0.99:/os/secondary
scp /opt/iMC/server/data/image/YA_15_18_0007.swi radiususer1@10.0.0.99:/os/secondary
>> both user local + radius authenticated "radiususer1" worked!!


- copy via IMC pscp command:
/opt/iMC/server/bin/pscp -P 22 /opt/iMC/server/data/image/YA_15_18_0007.swi admin@10.0.0.99:/os/secondary
/opt/iMC/server/bin/pscp -P 22 /opt/iMC/server/data/image/YA_15_18_0007.swi radiususer1@10.0.0.99:/os/secondary
>> both user local + radius authenticated "radiususer1" worked!!

#there are two flags, where you can choose the protocol
-sftp force use of SFTP protocol
-scp force use of SCP protocol

#on switch side, you see in the log:

checkmk - how to integrate good old nagios plugins

checkmk version 2.x you find the rules under: Integrate Nagios plugins
checkmk version 1.x you find the rules under: Classical active and passive Monitoring checks

sample for check_snmp

- test from commandline:
/omd/versions/default/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 172.16.2.15 -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 -s Normal

in checkmk rule >> Command line: check_snmp -H 172.16.2.15 -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 -s Normal

>> in case, the data has performance data, like for example a cpu counter >> turn performance data on



sample for check_ping:

- check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 300.00,80.00% -c 800.00,100.00%

Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #1 Wired 802.1X
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- see also: HPE Aruba Wired Enforcement Guide
- 802.1x on windows: services > Wired AutoConfig > set to automatic
after service is enabled, an "authentication" tab is visable in the network settings of the interface
>> decide between user or computer authentication
- in clearpass create a network device + a shared secret
- port bounce: interface 1/x/x > shutdown > no shutdown
- in clearpass create a a 802.1X Wired service, choose active directory as authenticaton source


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #2 Wired User Roles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rolebased access with local user roles
- best practise enable accounting: aaa accounting port-access start-stop interim 60 group clearpass
- best practise enable client visability:
client track ip #enable on global level
vlan xx
client track ip #enable per vlan
#on uplink port do a: client track ip disable
- in Clearpass Enforcement profile assign a role: for example admin
- create role on switch:
port-access role admin
vlan access name Management VLAN
- check on switch with: show port-access clients
- make username visable > create enforcement profile that reads out the username and sends it back via radius,
than the "show port-access client" will also show the username,
you can make the same with the computername
- Video about Aruba Dynamic Segmentation on AOS-CX: downloadable user roles and more


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #3 Device Profiling
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- device profiling: dhcp profiling, ip helper on core switch
- trigger a new dhcp request: Clearpass Access Tracker -> Change Status > choose port bounce


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #4 Wired MAC Authentication
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- default setting the switch will first try and timeout for 802.1X before it attempts MAC Authentication,
default timeout is 2 minutes and 30 seconds
>> solution: port-access onboarding-method concurrent enable
- configure the Profiling tab in our service to automatically trigger a port bounce as soon as ClearPass profiles a new or changed device.
- Clearpasss Radius Mac Authentication service
- enable Profile Endpoints
- Authentication Method: Allow All Mac Auth (with All only "known" endpoints are considered)
- Authentication Source: Endpoint Repository (so you can use the profiling information)
- Profiler: Radius CoA Action > AOS-CX Bounce Port, triggered it to "Any category / OS Family / Name",
so if the device is connection the first time it will be bounced, and we know the device type


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #5 Wired MAC Enforcement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
allow role based traffice for the endpoint

- define some classes, like: "class ip class-dns", "class ip class-private", "class ip class-pbx"
- bring the classes together to policies:
port-access policy pol-internet
10 class ip class-dhcp
20 class ip class-dns
30 class ip class-private action drop
40 class ip class-any
- port-access role profiler
associate policy pol-profile
vlan access name Untrusted VLAN
- port-access role machine
vlan access name Corporate VLAN
- port-access role voip
associate policy pol-voip
vlan access name Voice VLAN

- in clearpass define roles, and define rolemapping
- in clearpass define enforcement profiles, to return the role names, for example:
Radius:Aruba > Aruba-User-Role(1) = voip
Radius:Aruba > Aruba-User-Role(1) = profiler

- check with "show port-access clients" on switch

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #6 Wired Device behind phone - AP with tagged VLANs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- allow more devices behind a port:
interface 1/1/1-1/1/24
aaa authentication port-access client-limit 3 #default is one
- show client ip
- special role for a accesspoint, the special thing is the "auth-mode":
port-access role instant-ap
vlan trunk native name Management VLAN
vlan trunk allowed name Guest1 VLAN
vlan trunk allowed name Guest2 VLAN
auth-mode device-mode
- auth-mode:
client-mode: authenticate all devices
device-mode: authenticate just the first device
multi-domain: authentication for the native vlan and one for the voice vlan

- check with "show port-access clients" >> Authentication Mode should be seen as "device-mode"

ClearPass certificates - things to consider

- ClearPass Certificates 101 Technote
V1.2: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00100345en_us&docLocale=en_US

Radius Service
- use a private CA certificate for RADIUS
- use the same radius certificate on all your ClearPass servers
- subject could be: cn=ClearPass-Radius,ou=IT,O=your organisation,L=your location,ST=BW,C=DE
- Create Certificate Signing Request on first radius server > install the certificate on first radius server.
After installation > export the Radius certificate with the private key and save it to a file.
>> now import the saved file with certificate and private key to all other radius servers

HTTPS Service
- use a public certificate for https (guest + captive portal)
- wildcard or multi-san recommended
- decide to use ECC or not! disable on all subscribers
- subject should be: cn=*.your-org.com

Installation:
- Administration > Certificates > Certificate Store
- HTTPS > ECC + RSA is available, if only a RSA is available disable the ECC certificate!
(why shold you use ECC - faster SSL handshakes - more speed and security)
- Import Certificate, maybe enable the CA Issuer

DNS names:
cppm1.testdomain.de: 10.18.2.100 (virtual ip)
cppm1-pub.testdomain.de: 10.18.2.101 (publisher)
cppm1-sub.testdomain.de: 10.18.2.102 (subscriber 1)

get root certificate for switches:
- DUR - downloadable user roles, root certificate is required on the switch
get the certificate from clearpass server:
http://x.x.x.x/.well-known/aruba/clearpass/https-root.pem
on switch#: crypto pki ta-profile https-root
ta-certificate terminal
........
<ctrl>+D
(you need to leave the ta-profile section)
show certificate:
show crypto pki ta-profile

webmin is a great system admin tool for several linux distributions

how to make it very secure in a easy and simple way?

>> my approach is:
bind the webfrontend to localhost only, and after that access the webfrontend using ssh and tunneled connection ;-))


- if you run: netstat -nat |grep LISTEN |grep 10000,
you see that webmin is running on all interfaces
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

- webmin runs on tcp port 10000, usually accessible for everybody (if the server is in the internet and now firewall on the server is turn on)
>> you can access the frontend using https://your-server-ip:10000/

- let change the port, so that is runs only on localhost / 127.0.0.1 tcp 10000:
edit configuration file: /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
>> change line listen=10000 to listen=0 #this disabled udp port 10000 and that other webmins are finding us!
>> add line: allow=127.0.0.1 #allow only access from localhost, but the port will still be open!
>> add line: bind=127.0.0.1 #this binds the tcp 10000 socket to 127.0.0.1:10000 > not public visiable anymore!
>> restart the service: service webmin restart

- check if webmin now runs only on localhost port:
run command: netstat -nat |grep LISTEN |grep 10000
now it should look like:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

checkmk performance tuning

usually your checkmk site is becoming bigger and bigger .. this could lead to error messagen and performance issues if there are many services and hosts to be monitored

> use global fetcher and checker settings to optimize execution of checks. The
> settings can be found under Setup > General > Global settings:

> Use spearate fetchers and checkers should be on!

- fetchers:
they make the network communication, for example the snmp query or the query for the checkmk agent.
This query takes some time and uses about 30MB per process
Rule: increase that number, if you have enough free memory left on the server

- checker:
the checker processes are processing the collected data from the fetchers. A checker needs at least 90MB. Use only so many checkers as your machine has cores!
Rule: Use only so many checkers as your machine has cores!

windows 10 - how to allow access to usb port devices in a RDP remote desktop session?

Problem:
in a remote desktop session it was not possible to connect to the usb connect CrossChex Time Attendance & Access Control device

Solution:
- set the right group policy!

1) Edit Group Policy
2) Local Group Policy Editor: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Removable Storage Access
(in german this is: Wechselmedienzugriff!)
3) in the folder locate entries that have something to do with remote access - set this policies to enabled
(in german it is: Remotezugriff auf die Plug & Play-Schnittstelle zulassen)
4) apply the policy and reboot the system


1) if you have access to command line:
>> erase startup-config

2) if you have no password, but physical access to the switch:
>> press both, the clear and the reset button on the switch until you see the power and fault lights
>> when you release the reset button, make sure to still press the clear button
>> the clear button can be release, when the self test led is starting to blink ..
in switch log I detected messages like:

>> since I don't want to use Aruba central in this setup let's disable it:

switch-8320-1# conf t

switch-8320-1(config-aruba-central)# disable
switch-8320-1(config-aruba-central)# exit
switch-8320-1(config)#

Mimosa B5 update firmware from 1.5.1 problem

we wanted to upgrade a Mimosa B5 to the latest version and downloaded two files:
- Mimosa-B5-2.8.1.2.img.signed
- Mimosa-B5-2.9.0.img.signed

Problem:
the upgrade 1.5.1 to 2.8.1.2 didn't work, since the file could not really be uploaded.

Solution:
rename the file Mimosa-B5-2.8.1.2.img.signed to Mimosa-B5-2.8.1.img.signed, after that
the file could be uploaded and verified

The update from 2.8.1.2 to 2.9.0 was no problem
problem: if there is a problem with the internet connection, the openvpn tunnel dies and is not beeing restarted automatically

solution:

>> ping openvpn server ip and restart vpn

CentOS Linux 8 > cannot update anymore

Problem:
yum update
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 170 B/s | 38 B 00:00
Fehler: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist


Solution:
>> migrate to CentOS Stream8:
dnf --disablerepo '*' --enablerepo=extras swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos
dnf distro-sync

>> after distro-sync there were some errors ... they could be solved, running command:
dnf distro-sync --nobest

just query the standard mib: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2

CentOS 8 - error message: failed to download metadata fro repo AppStream

Error occured when trying to update "yum update" a minimalistic installed CentOS 8 installation.

This happends because CentOS Linux 8 has reached End of Life by end of year 2021.

You have to options now:
1) used different mirror vault.centos.org
2) upgrade to CentOS Stream

----------
Option 1): used different mirror vault.centos.org

- cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
- sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
- sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
- now run: yum update again



----------
Option 2): upgrade to CentOS Stream

- up date to latest CentOS 8: dnf update
- dnf install centos-release-stream -y --allowerasing
- synchronizse installed packages to available stream version: dnf distro-sync
- cat /etc/redhat-release, should show now the Stream relase version

wordpress - how to rename media files

Solution
there are serveral plugins available, after some tests the decision was made for plugin (1):

(1)
- use plugin: Advanced File Manager / File Manager Advanced
Renames your media files for better SEO and a nicer filesystem (automatically or manually).
> under settings set the Public Root Path, to your wp-content/uploads directory,
so that you can only rename uploaded files

(2)
- use plugin: Media File Renamer – Auto & Manual Rename
Renames your media files for better SEO and a nicer filesystem (automatically or manually).


enable debug:
- debug portaccess role
- debug portaccess dot1x all
- debug portaccess radius

- debug destination buffer

--------------------------------------
view debug
- show debug buffer
--------------------------------------

disable debug:
- no debug portaccess role
- no debug portaccess dot1x all
- no debug portaccess radius
sample snmpwalk command to get out, some information from the vsa:

#default community string ist public
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <vsa-ip-address> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.19

some interesting snmp mib variables can be found in the file "LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-CLUSTERING-MIB.mib", which can be found on the internet

for example:

clusModuleStorageStatus storage status of a module .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.19
clusModuleRaidStatus RAID status of a module .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.10
clusModuleName hostname of module .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.4
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.2


>> have this knowledge, you can easily build a simple perl script that queries the information from the VSA and formats to "checkmk" format, so that it can be used as an "individual script":

IMC license transfer

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-a00052171en_us

------------------------


IMC license transfer instructions (text only):

IMC license keys are locked to the software serial number.

If you move your IMC licenses to another computer or a new VM a new IMC software serial number will be created.
To obtain a fresh license key for the new software serial number, you need to transfer the IMC licenses from the old software serial number to the new one.

Before you start the license transfer make a note of the current IMC software serial number and the new IMC software serial number.

An IMC license transfer will move all the licenses to the new serial number.

IMC licenses can be transferred up to 3 times without Customer Support assistance.

- Step 1: Sign in to the My Networking account where the current IMC serial number is registered.
My Networking portal: http://hpe.com/networking/mynetworking/

- Step 2: On the home page/dashboard, select “Transfer licenses to new platform”.
Note: There are several paths to the transfer license pages such as the My License dropdown menu, on the My Licenses page and from the License Details page.

- Step 3: On the Transfer Licenses page, enter the current IMC software serial number in the Search field and click Search. All the licenses registered to the software serial number will be displayed for your review.

- Step 4: Click the Select icon (>>) to the right of the platform license. This will open the License Details page.
Review the license information to confirm this is the serial number whose licenses will be transferred to the new serial number.
Click Next to proceed.

- Step 5: On the Transfer licenses to a new platform page, enter the new IMC software serial number in the Target serial number* field and click the Transfer button.

- Step 6A successful transfer will display a confirmation page with the new license key file and the transfer details for each license.

- Last Step: Download and install the license key file.
you can run a paket trace under System Status > Diagnostics, the result will be a file in pcap format, which you can analyse with wireshark.

checkmk network monitoring -> best practice when monitoring all network ports

idea comes from article "3 rules to rule them all" by Alexander Wilms
( https://checkmk.com/de/blog/network-monitoring-with-checkmk-2-0 )

1) rename important switch ports on the devices, e.g. uplink_server1, access_point
> a problem is: some vendors use the SNMP table Alias, others the table Description
> solution: 2 x checkmk rules ( 1 x alias + 1 x decription) +
>> define a new Host Tag "if_alias_desc" / Title: Interface: by Alias/by Description
>>> Tag ID: default - Title: default
>>> Tag ID: if_alias - Title: use Alias
>>> Tag ID: if_desc - Title: use Description

2) rule to discover all network ports:
> Network interface and switch port discovery > create 2 new rules
> >from "Use Index" to "Use alias" and condition tag "use Alias" + Condations for this rule to apply: Match all interfaces

3) rule to separete access ports from "vip" ports
Services > Service monitoring > new rule: Network interfaces and switch ports

3.1: rule for access ports, name is for example 0001:

problem:
the lan ports of the switches, where the aruba access points are connected, are showing regular errors .. giant packets etc.

solution:
the default settings of the aruba ap's is, that they are doing a path MTU discovery every minute, to find out the best MTU size for them.
if you want to stop this "unnecessary traffic" you need to define a static value:

>> on wlan controller:
ap-group ->> ap system profile ->> AP system profile has an mtu parameter that you can change to 1500 or less.

at the moment there is no easy method that "I know" - to set for example 200 printer endpoints from unkown to know in a easy way!

the methods that are know by me, are at the moment:

1) Export selected endpoints / edit xml file / import xml list
--go to Identity > Endpoints and run a filter to select your endpoints that needs to be changed.
-- press "Export All" at the right top
-- save to a xml file: Endpoint.xml
-- open the xml file in a text editor like Notepad++ and press <STRG> +<H> to replace a string: search for status="Unknown" and replace it through: status="Known"
-- import the file to clearpass under Identity > Endpoints

2) manual selection of several endpoints
-- go to Monitoring > Profiler and Network Scan > Endpoint Profiler and run a filter to select your endpoints that needs to be changed. To see the Filter section press on "Change Filter Selection"
-- after you selected some endpoints make sure to press "Hide Filter Selection" then you will see the buttons "Mark Known" or "Mark Unknown" again .. and press "Mark Known" if you want to set them to known

- spell checker
-- plugin name = Spell-Checker
-- after installation notepad++ needs to be restarted
-- after installation go to http://aspell.net/win32/ and download and install the Full "installer"
-- in notepad++ go to plugins > spell-checker and press "how to use": enter the path to aspell directory, for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspell\bin" if you installed aspell at the default lokation
-- in the notepadd++ symbol bar you see now a "ABC" button, click on this button to enable spell checking

- Show Advanced options: Deny local routing (if this is not enabled users that are connected to the same access point can connect to each other!! (a connect between different vlan's works - security issue?!!))
help text from aruba = If you have security and traffic management policies defined in upstream devices, you can use this option to disable routing traffic between two clients on the same AP on different VLANs.
Routing traffic between the clients will be sent to the upstream device to make the forwarding decision.

usecase: we needed an openvpn server to connect our mango router (Modell: GL-MT300N-V2) via openvpn to an openvpn server,
so that clients behind the router, are getting internet through the server machine

---------------------
install necessary packages:

openvpn with easy-rsa
- apt-get install easy-rsa openvpn
- easy-rsa is a great tool that helps you to build your own certificate authority

--------------------

since the installation is quiet complex, let's use a script:

found on:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-10-set-up-openvpn-server-in-5-minutes/
>> this leaded us to a cool script: https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install

>> this is the install script:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angristan/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh -O debian10-vpn.sh

The configuration file has been written to /root/mango1.ovpn.
Download the .ovpn file and import it in your OpenVPN client.

-------------------
useful commands:
systemctl restart openvpn@server
systemctl status openvpn@server

#status check
-- ps aux |grep openvpn
-- netstat -tulpn | grep :51194
how to use built-in symmetric encryption?

1) create a rule to access the target using a shared password
>> Setup menu and create a rule in the Setup > Agents > Access to agents > Checkmk agent > Encryption (Linux, Windows)

2) on target host, configure the agent to run in encrypted mode
>> create file: /etc/check_mk/encryption.cfg
>> using the following content:

ENCRYPTED=yes
PASSPHRASE='MyPassword'

>> give the file the right access rights (on linux)
chmod 600 /etc/check_mk/encryption.cfg

3) how to test?
3.1 on agent machine just run a "check_mk_agent" .. you should see only strange letters
3.2 test with telnet using "telnet agentmachine 6556" .. you should also see only strange leters
3.3 on checkmk server, run the command "cmk -d agentmachine" .. you should see the normal agent data

From CLI of Instant AP ping device.arubanetworks.com
If no resolution check the Instant AP is configured with a DNS server to send DNS queries to Use CLI command ‘show summary support | include NameServer’

2. Can the Instant AP route to device.arubanetworks.com?
From CLI of Instant AP ping device.arubanetworks.com
If there is no response it may just be that ICMP is blocked along the path. HTTP and HTTPS may still be allowed.

3. Are HTTP and HTTPS blocked by a firewall along the path?
Connect a PC to a port in the same vlan/subnet as the master Instant AP. Telnet to port 80 and 443, on device.arubanetworks.com.

If above is working and still IAP doesn't have cloud activation key, kindly contact Aruba TAC with above details.
2 methods are available (at least)

1) use dhcp snooping

turn on:
(SW)<config># dhcp-snooping enable
(SW)<config># dhcp-snooping vlan 99
(SW)<config># show dhcp-snooping
>> define trusted interface where the dhcp answers are coming from, for example interface 49 (your uplink)

see the clients: (Switch)<config># show dhcp-snooping binding


2) client tracker

turn on: (SW)<config># ip client-tracker
see the clients: show port-access clients

problem: the service did not start after reboot!


how to start after reboot?
systemctl start isc-dhcp-server


check status?
/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server status
sometimes you need a list of all the files on a harddrive, you can use some nice tools, for example:

- https://www.sttmedia.de/dateilistenschreiber
- direct windows download: https://www.sttmedia.de/download=FilelistCreatorWin64
solution: delete / or rename a specific file in your profile:

your-ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\handlers.json
problem: when running starter templates, no pictures and css styles are beeing deployed, only the text works,
but the start templates process says "success"


Solution:

error message seen in the apache log file:
[Mon Nov 28 11:15:33.544383 2022] [fcgid:warn] [pid 24679] [client 192.168.1.99:63696] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: XMLReader::read(): /var/customers/webs/customer1/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/wxr.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty in /var/customers/webs/customer1/wp-content/plugins/astra-pro-sites/inc/importers/wxr-importer/class-wxr-importer.php on line 256, referer: http://mywebseite/wp-admin/themes.php?page=starter-templates&ci=5


>> since we use mod_fcgid it seams that some rights are missing,

so we changed the php configuration:

allow_url_fopen = On
max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 100M
SubstituteMaxLineLength = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 100M

we also disabled the function "curl_exec", but this was probably not the most important setting

>> probably allow_url_fopen or SubstituteMaxLineLength was the important setting
if you monitor linux server using checkmk you may get an error that there are failed systemd services, how to fix this in
case the mentiond services are not needed

on linux machine:

#systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
? check_mk@service.service loaded failed failed Checkmk agent
? cmk-agent-ctl-daemon.service loaded failed failed Checkmk agent controller daemon


#stop service
systemctl stop check_mk@service.service
systemctl stop cmk-agent-ctl-daemon.service

#disable service
systemctl disable check_mk@service.service
systemctl disable cmk-agent-ctl-daemon.service

#for manually clear out failed units, you can use the following command:
systemctl reset-failed
If you want to authenticate a device on a switch port using mac authentication or 802.1x authentication using a radius server, you may have the requirement to put the device into more than one vlans - in one untagged vlan and multiple tagged vlans.

the radius server has to return some special attributes back to the switch
>> here comes a sample Enforcement Profile from the HPE Aruba ClearPass Policy manager

>> Type: Radius
>> Action: Accept
Radius:IETF Session-Timeout = 10800
Radius:IETF Termination-Action = RADIUS-Request (1)
Radius:IETF Tunnel-Type = VLAN (13)
Radius:IETF Tunnel-Medium-Type = IEEE-802 (6)
Radius:IETF Tunnel-Private-Group-Id = 10
Radius:Hewlett-Packard-Enterprise HPE-Port-MA-Port-Mode = 1
Radius:Hewlett-Packard-Enterprise HPE-Egress-VLAN-ID = 822083684
Radius:Hewlett-Packard-Enterprise HPE-Egress-VLAN-ID = 822083685
Radius:Hewlett-Packard-Enterprise HPE-Egress-VLAN-ID = 822083686


>> The Attribute Tunnel-Private-Group-Id sets the switch port to vlan 10 untagged

>> the HPE-Egress-VLAN-ID values are looking a bit strange, to get this values you have to calculate them: 0x31<000><VLAN-ID in Hex>, this hex value needs then converted to a decimal value, which we need for the attribute:
-------- value: 822083684 means vlan 100 tagged
-------- value: 822083685 means vlan 101 tagged
-------- value: 822083686 means vlan 102 tagged
>>>>>> use this calculater to get the value for a specific vlan: https://computer2know.de/index.php?site=radius-vlan-hex-value


>> the attribute HPE-Port-MA-Port-Mode makes sense for HPE ArubaOS switches, in case you want to set port mode

when trying to create a map using nagvis, on the webfronted we get the error message:

Quick and dirty solution:

>> comment out line 9: const ACCEPTED_GEOMAP_SERVER_URL_SCHEMES = ["http", "https"];

>> after that it worked!!

#plugin for ibmc / server
https://github.com/Huawei/Server_Management_Plugin_Check_MK

- if you don't know the password that is need on the webfrontend from the WDMyCloud, press the button through the very small hole on the back of the device (reset pin), for about 4 seconds. After that the password is cleared, that means there is no password anmore, just use the user "admin" with no password.

Fortinet - Basic configuration

- put your notebook to the fortinet default subnet, 192.168.1.0/24.
The default ip of the fortinet device is 192.168.1.99
plug the ethernetcable on port 1
> access the webfronted https://192.168.1.99/

--------------------------------------------------
do some basic configuration,
let us setup the following configuration
>> port 1: leave it as it is >> 192.168.1.99
>> port 2-3: create a software switch >> 192.168.178.1/24
>> port 4: configure it as "wan" interface

System > Network > Interfaces
>> create new Interface, Type Software Switch
-- Interface Name = 178
-- Physical Interface Members: port2 and port3
-- Addressing mode: Manual, IP/Network Mask: 192.168.178.1/255.255.255.0
-- Administrative Access: HTTPS + PING
-- DHCP Server: Enable, Starting IP: 192.168.178.100, End IP: 192.168.178.200, Netmaskk 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: Same as Interface IP, DNS Server: Same as System DNS

System > Network > Interfaces
>> edit port4 > the wan interface
-- Alias: wan
-- Addressing mode: DHCP
-- Retrieve default gateway from server: yes
-- Administrative Access: HTTPS PING SSH SNMP
-- [ port4 will be connected to the default gateway in may case a fritzbox ]

System > Config > SNMP
-- create a SNMPv1/v2c community name to monitor the box using a tool like checkmk

no lets create some Policy Rules, under: Policy & Objects > Policy > IPv4
-- lets make some simple rules, so that no addresses in the wan subnet can be access, except the router (fritz.box)
-- 1: source=all, destination=192.168.2.1, always, service=HTTPS, deny
-- 2: source=all, destination=192.168.2.1, always, service=ALL, accept, NAT=enable enabled

# iperf Durchsatzmessung
######################################################
Durchsatzmessungen mit iPerf
iPerf Vorstellung
• iPerf ist ein weltweit eingesetztes, anerkanntes Open Source Tool für Bandbreitenmessungen
• Verfügbar seit über 15 Jahren und kostenlos erhältlich für die meisten Betriebssysteme
• Ermöglicht das Konfigurieren von TCP-Parametern wie z.B. TCP Window- und Segment-Size
• Achtung: Gemäss Erfahrungen von cnlab Experten greifen die TCP-Parameter bei verschie-
denen Betriebssystem unterschiedlich. Mit Wireshark überprüfen!
• Misst Paketverluste und Latenz-Schwankungen (Jitter)
• Generiert Übertragungsdaten ohne Zugriff auf die Speichermedien (ist dadurch schneller)
• Das iPerf Programm wird auf zwei (oder mehr) Stationen installiert
• Die Funktion, ob Client oder Server, wird durch die Befehlseingabe definiert (siehe Beispiel unten)

Client mit iPerf: iperf -c 192.168.0.200 -w 2M
Server mit iPerf: iperf -s -w 2M

Durchsatzmessungen mit iPerf3
Neue Funktionen von iPerf3
• iPerf3 ist eine komplette Neuentwicklung und ist nicht kompatibel mit älteren iPerf Versionen
• Neu müssen die TCP Parameter für Server und Client nur noch auf dem Client definiert werden!
• Der Client übermittelt diese Parameter vor der Messung über eine TCP Session an den Server

Client mit iPerf3: iperf3 -c 192.168.0.200 -w 2M
Server mit iPerf3: iperf3 -s

öffentliche iperf server: https://iperf.fr/iperf-servers.php

beispiel: iperf3 -c bouygues.iperf.fr -w 2M -R
-w 2M: TCP Windows Size: 2 Mbyte
-R reverse direction (download)


- beispiel aufrufe:
iperf -c 172.17.4.234 -i 2 -t 30 #intervall messungen, alle 2 sekunden - 30 sekunden lang
iperf -c 172.17.4.234 -i 2 -t 30 -P 3 #intervall messungen, alle 2 sekunden - 30 sekunden lang - 3 parallele streams

under windows the configuration files are stored under:
c:\Users\<username>\.nagstamon

in this directory there is a file "nagstamon.conf" with the common settings and in the "servers" directory there are server specific configuration files

this information should fit to version >= 3.x

#list installed packages
mkp list

#see details of a package, you will see things like version / author
mkp show <package name>

#see files of a package
mkp list <package name>
>> this will show up python files and more

#package info file, here you can change version number
~/var/check_mk/packages/<package name>

for example: set version to 1.1
>> line: 'version': '1.1',


#to build a new package run the pack command, put before make sure to be in directory ~/var/check_mk/packages_local
mkp pack <package name>

using ide PyCharm, you can do this like this:

1) go to terminal inside your project "myFirstUI" as example
2) pip install pyinstaller
3) pyinstaller.exe main.py --onefile
4) in your projectfolder there will now be a folder "dist", with a file main.exe >> this is your executable file that you can copy to another pc

cat /proc/cpuinfo
to see the frequency from the cpu's

to see that on vmware on esxi linux shell, you can run the command:
- vim-cmd hostsvc/hosthardware
- vim-cmd hostsvc/hosthardware | grep -i hz

example:
[root@esxi1:~] vim-cmd hostsvc/hosthardware |grep -i hz
hz = 2596992066
hz = 2596992067,
busHz = 99884288,

the problem is there are a lot of HPE visio files that contain many objects,
but how to find them?

I copied all shape files to one directory and in that directory I run a grep query ;-)

user@mypc/cygdrive/c/users/user/Documents/Meine Shapes

$ grep -i j9576a *
grep: HPE-Networking-3xxx-Switches.vss: binary file matches
grep: _private: Is a directory

ip source-interfacee syslog vlan <your vlan>
Problem:
you want to create an extra user, that should have access only to the visitor
area, to create guest accounts > but your user sees nothing

Solution found:
1) create a Resource Restriction Policy
HPE GreenLake > Manage Account > Identity & Access >> Resource Restriction Policy
>> add one or more central group's of your organisation to the policy

2) assign the Restriction Policy to the user:
HPE GreenLake > Manage Account > Identity & Access >> Assign Role
>> select Limit Resource Access and and that field use the Resource Restriction Policy created in step 1)
You need to allow this for a user account:
- Admin center > Active users > select the user:
- Select Mail > Email apps > Manage email apps:
- here you need to turn on "Authenticated SMTP"

after you did that you can use this smtp server settings in your application:
- E-Mailserver: smtp.office365.com
- Port: 587
- Username: your Office 365 email address
- Psssword: your password
- ssl: turn on

>> # Try to raise the soft limit for open files. The Microcore needs a *lot* of open
>> # files when you have a large number of helper processes and/or Livestatus threads
>> # configured. Setting the soft limit to "unlimited" (i.e. the hard limit) is not a

>> for i in 8192 6144 4096 2048; do # find a sane soft limit below the hard one
>> ulimit -S -n $i 2> /dev/null && break
>> done


>> add a 16384 before 8192 and restart your site

>> if you update to a new version, you need to check if the setting is still there ;-((


how to make sure which are the real values?
>> create a script and use it as individual check, in the script dump the limit parameters, using the command ulimit -a

>> here is such sample script, that writes the values to /tmp/ulimit.log

print "Version: pn-v2022-09-13\n";
print "<<<local>>>\n";
print "0 ulimit-openfiles - just for debug, write values to /tmp/ulimit.log\n";
you can use command:
ip -br addr show

example:
root@raspi:~ $ ip -br addr show

enxb827ebb0b9a8 UP 192.168.2.8/24 192.168.2.9/24

>> this linux device has two ip addresses 192.168.2.8 + 192.168.2.9
you can monitor citrix information, things like
- Citrix Serverload
- Citrix Sessions

use the plugin citrix_farm.ps1 for that and install the plugin on the citric controller machine. The checkmk agent on that machine needs to run under a user with citrix admin rights!!

>> the plugin reads out the performance values for all citrix machines and gives back the data to the citrix machines using the piggyback mechanism. Maybe you need to use the ruleset "Hostname translation for piggybacked hosts" to match the piggyback output to the hosts.

Problem: a module like J4858D does not work in a Aruba CX 8325 switch, before the module was working with an HPE 5406 switch, but it does not work with an Aruab 8325 CX Switch

for example:
switch = JL635A Aruba 8325-48Y8C 48p 25G 8p 100G Switch
sfp module = J4858D (1G-SX)


>> in documentation, we find:
https://www.arubanetworks.com/assets/ds/DS_8325Series.pdf
1 Consult the ArubaOS-Switch and AOS-CX Transceiver Guide in the Aruba Support Portal for the minimum required software releases to support these transceivers. Guide also provides certain limitations for specific transceivers for use on switch models

>>> from the "Transceiver Guide" we find the information:
1G optics at the opposite end of the link
must NOT enable auto-negotiation and operate in full duplex mode.!!!


>> so this is the solution:
>>>> set the neighbor interface to full duplex

for example, if the neighbor switch is a hpe 2540 (aruba os / procurve), the uplink interface should look like:

interface 52
speed-duplex 1000-full


####################################################################
# >> very important!!!
# 1G optics at the opposite end of the link

enabling spanning tree is not always a good idea, maybe it is better to use features like loop protection these days:

example:

interface 1/1/24
description Server-X
no shutdown
no routing
vlan trunk native 1
vlan trunk allowed 1,100,101
loop-protect
loop-protect action do-not-disable

if there is a loop detected you will get log messages like:
<timestamp> .. <WARN> Event|2803|LOG_WARN|AMM|1/1|Loop detected on port lag256

>> make sure that you have some error detection in place that immediately informs you about such events, so that the loop causing device can be identified and disabled

a batch script, that you can use with robocopy:


set source_directory=C:\path\to\source\directory
set destination_directory=D:\path\to\destination\directory

set /P answer="Are you ready for the backup? (Y/N) "

if /I "%answer%"=="Y" (
robocopy %source_directory% %destination_directory% /MIR /R:3 /W:10 /IF

if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
msg * "Robocopy sync failed! Please check the log file for details."
exit /b %errorlevel%
)
pause
msg * "Robocopy sync completed successfully!"

) else (
msg * "Backup process cancelled."
)



---------------------

another example, with an UNC target directory:
robocopy C:\source_folder \\servername\shared_folder /MIR /USER:username /PASSWORD:password

/IF option can be used, if you only want to copy if the destination directory exists!
checkmk 2.1 > [agent] Success, Missing monitoring data for plugins: wmi_cpuload <<WARN>>

the problems seams to be that sometime that windows machine, does not deliver wmi data and since
checkmk version 2.1 the handling of the missing data on the server side is different, so that we get a warning.
It is said that updating the client agent also to version > 2.1 should improve that, but if you need a quick solution
you can take the advise from the checkmk article:

https://forum.checkmk.com/t/update-from-2-0-0p22-to-2-1-missing-monitoring-data-for-plugins-wmi-cpuload/31815/45

on your checkmk server modify the file wmi_cpuload.py:
/omd/versions/default/lib/python3/cmk/base/plugins/agent_based/wmi_cpuload.py

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try:
load = wmi_tables["system_perf"].get(0, "ProcessorQueueLength")
timestamp = get_wmi_time(wmi_tables["system_perf"], 0)
computer_system = wmi_tables["computer_system"]
except (KeyError, WMIQueryTimeoutError):
return None
assert load
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
changed version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try:
load = wmi_tables["system_perf"].get(0, "ProcessorQueueLength")
except (KeyError, WMIQueryTimeoutError):
load = 0.0

try:
timestamp = get_wmi_time(wmi_tables["system_perf"], 0)
except (KeyError, WMIQueryTimeoutError):
timestamp = 0.0

try:
computer_system = wmi_tables["computer_system"]
except (KeyError, WMIQueryTimeoutError):
return None




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ps:
- when I tested this I was running CEE 2.1.0.p22
- make sure to make no unindent level errors when editing the file wmi_cpuload.py!
>> you can verify this by running an inventory query from command line
>> OMD[your-site]: cmk -I a_windows_host

How to change the result panel order column?

- check the settings-conf file!
"C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DocFetcher\conf\programs-conf.txt"


# By default, the program initially sorts the results by score. To change the
# initial sorting criterion, specify the number of the column to sort by here.
# The numbering starts at 1. Zero and out-of-range values will be ignored.
# If the value is negative, the sorting is reversed, e.g., "-2" means "sort by
# second column, but in reversed order".
InitialSorting = -8

.. if you want to dort by latest date use -8

KNX IP devices - with aruba os switches

----------------------------------------------------------------------
>> for communication the multicast default address is 224.0.23.12 !
>> it is very important that igmp is configured, and on of the switches has the igmp querier role !
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The IP routing multicast address defines the destination address for the IP messages of KNX IP devices.
The default address 224.0.23.12 is the address for KNXnet/IP devices set by the KNX Association in conjunction with IANA.
This address should be maintained and only changed if the existing network requires the use of a different address.

By default, these messages are sent as multicast messages to the multicast IP address 224.0.23.12, port 3671.


------------------------------------------
Configuration on Arubo OS switch side
------------------------------------------

- own vlan, for example vlan 100 name knx

- configure all knx ip devices to be in vlan 100 (untagged)

- enable igmp on the switch and the vlan!
(1) set ip lookup mode, to be able to use igmp version 3
>> igmp lookup-mode ip

(2)
>enable igmp in the vlan, and assign for example port 1 to 5 on the switch, also give the switch an ip address so that the igmp network can have a querier!
>> vlan 100
name "knx"
untagged 1-5
ip address 10.24.100.50 255.255.255.0
ip igmp
ip igmp version 3
exit

- igmp show commands
(1)
show ip igmp groups

(2)
show ip igmp
> here you should see the Querier Address



- how to see the igmp messages? debugging on switch
>> debug ip igmp
>> debug destination session
>> to turn off, say: no debug ip igmp

you should see messages like this:

Set access level to Superuser

To set the root password, first set the access level to Superuser:

Go to Settings, General
Set the Access Level to User and installer, the password is ZZZ
Highlight Access Level (don't open the select page, ie. make sure you are in the General Page, not the Access Level page)
Press and hold the right button of the center pad until you see the Access Level change to Superuser. Note: when working from the Remote Console, you need to use the right key on your keyboard. Pressing and holding the right button with your mouse won't work.

Now you have access to the super user features.
https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:root_access

Note that on a touchscreen, such as a Cerbo GX + GX Touch, there is no “right button”. Instead, drag the menu down and hold it down for five seconds. Or, use Remote Console.
solution: a script called "getArpFromRouter.pl"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl
##############################################################################
#
# This script is designed to retrieve the ARP table entries for a router using
# the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and display them in a
# human-readable format.
#
# The script first sets SNMP credentials and the target router IP address,
# then retrieves VLAN names from the IF-MIB::ifName table using the snmpwalk
# command. The VLAN names are stored in an associative array called vlannames.
# The script then walks the IP-MIB::ipNetToMediaPhysAddress table to retrieve
# ARP table entries, which contain IP addresses, MAC addresses, and VLAN IDs.
# The script uses the VLAN IDs to look up the corresponding VLAN names in the
# vlannames array, and then prints out the IP address, MAC address, VLAN name,
# and VLAN ID in a formatted table.
#
# Overall, this script provides a quick and easy way to retrieve and view ARP
# table entries for a router, which can be useful for troubleshooting network
# issues or monitoring network activity.
#
# usage: ./getArpFromRouter.pl
#
# output sample:

QinQ is a networking technology that stands for "Quality in Quality". It is also known as VLAN stacking or VLAN double tagging. QinQ is an extension of the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging standard and allows service providers to transport multiple VLANs over a single physical link between two switches or routers.

In a QinQ scenario, two VLAN tags are added to Ethernet frames, with the outer tag used to identify the service provider's VLAN and the inner tag used to identify the customer's VLAN. This allows service providers to provide multiple customers with VLAN services over a single physical link, while also ensuring that each customer's VLAN remains isolated and secure from other customers' VLANs.

QinQ is commonly used in metropolitan area networks (MANs) and wide area networks (WANs) to provide connectivity between customer sites and service provider networks. It is also used in data center environments to provide isolation and segregation of different virtualized networks.

Overall, QinQ technology is an important tool for service providers and network engineers to ensure efficient and secure network communication between different VLANs over a single physical link.

there are a lot of messages displayed by default, if you login, into your ubuntu, let's say version 22.04 LTS.

The messages have there origin in folder:

#remove the execution of some scripts
chmod -x /etc/update-motd.d/*

old approach, that does not really work:

to disabled all of them, may solution is:
mkdir /etc/update-motd.d.original/
mv /etc/update-motd.d/* /etc/update-motd.d.original/

and disable the service:
systemctl disable motd-news.service

Problem: fetcher usage is increasing until site restart or server reboot

the site has 40 fetchers defined, if the site is restarted the fetcher usage is about 20%, but soon the fetcher usage starts to increase slowly. After 4 weeks the usage is about 80% and goes in direction 100%.

how can I fix this? or find the root cause for this. This issue has alse been with older 2.1 versions on this server.

In the kernel message log I found this messages:
[Apr 4 16:51] python3[4068036]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f74056f66ec sp 00007ffdc51510e0 error 4 in libpython3.9.so.1.0[7f740561b000+1ce000]

I guess they have something to do with the increasing fetchers. I also noticed thate some fetcher processes, have been restarted.root@cmk-server:~# ps -ef |grep fetch

>>>> SOLUTION:
----------------------------------------
- enabling debug in global settings, enable debugging of helpers, now you should see a lot of entries in the cmc.log file!
- now wait until another crash has happend (check with command "dmesg -H -P")
- if you have the timestamp of the crash >> check the cmc.log file
- in the logfile I found that it happends after a snmp usv query occured
- reconfig the device to use "classic snmp" to query the define instead of inline python checkmk snmp
>> Problem solved.
command to set to factory default: erase all zeroize

after factory reset, use the default user admin without a password to access the switch via console
to use sonos with the wireless lan from aruba following settings must be set:

- configuration > networks > selected_network > show advanced options:

troubleshooting:
>> if you restart the machine the ser2net service will fail, because the usb ports are not ready on startup
>> to fix this add the following line to ser2net.service in the [Unit] section:

After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

touch -t 2212231634 yourfilename


solution:
image seams to be signed with a very "high" certificate > just rename the .cert file in the filestructure and import again
If you encounter a problem with the bandwidth limit on aruba's access points the fritzbox might be the problem.

To solve the bandwdith limit not working properly you have to go to:

Fritz!Box >> home-network >> network >> remove (to remove all inactive devices)

For all active devices go to:

device >> pencil >> reset

This was tested with the firmware (fritzbox): 161.07.29
If you want to know what SSID's are broadcasted on a specific access point do the following:

>> go to the virtual controller gui
>> select the support tab
>> select command: "AP BSSID Table"
>> select target: All Access Points
>> select run
/*

just an example: HalloWeltPlugin.java

1)
compile the java file, use the bukkit jar in the classpath:
javac HalloWeltPlugin.java -cp c:\server\bundler\libraries\bukkit-1.19.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

>> now we get a file: HalloWeltPlugin.class

1.1)
create a plugin.yml file:
name: Hallo_Welt-Plugin
main: HalloWeltPlugin
api-version: 1.19
version: 0.1

2)
build a new jar file:
jar -cf HalloWeltPlugin.jar HalloWeltPlugin.class plugin.yml

3)
copy jar file to minecraft server plugin directory:
copy HalloWeltPlugin.jar c:\server\plugins

turning on some settings here may help, in case you get an error / warning like: "check_mk: ERROR: Duplicate service description (auto check) ' MSSQL Blocked Sessions' for host ....


info from checkmk:

In order to make Check_MK more consistent, the descriptions of several services have been renamed in newer Check_MK versions. One example is the filesystem services that have been renamed from fs_ into Filesystem. But since renaming of existing services has many implications - including existing rules, performance data and availability history - these renamings are disabled per default for existing installations. Here you can switch to the new descriptions for selected check types

steps to do:
- sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
- sudo apt install tightvncserver
- under the user environment start the vnc server: vncserver
---- after starting vncserver kill it: vncserver -kill :1
- now change the xstartup file:
---- cd ~./vnc
---- cp -p xstartup xstartup.save
---- create a new xstartup file with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
# Start up the standard system desktop
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
/usr/bin/startxfce4
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
x-window-manager &

>> now start the vnc server again

-> downloaded filename.ovpn configuration from the watchguard webfrontend, after logon with the user and password

-> logon works with the official watchguard ssl-vpn client, but not with another openvpn client, the error message in the log file is:

OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM') if you want to connect to this server.

>> solution:
change one line in the configfile.ovpn file:
-- instead of line: cipher AES-256-CBC write the line:
>>>> data-cipers AES-256-CBC
you cannot use vlan 4041 to 4094 by default on a hpe 8325 aurba cx switch!

>> but you can change this range!

Setting a new internal VLAN range:
switch(config)# system internal-vlan-range 3041-3094 This will briefly interrupt traffic. Continue (y/n)?

To debug Wired AutoConfig (WAC) messages in Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Event Viewer: Press the Windows key, type "Event Viewer," and select the "Event Viewer" application.

2. In the Event Viewer, navigate to "Applications and Services Logs" -> "Microsoft" -> "Windows" -> "Wired-AutoConfig."

3. In the "Wired-AutoConfig" section, you will find logs related to the Wired AutoConfig service.

4. Look for events with the Event ID 5007. These events correspond to WAC messages and can provide information about any issues or errors encountered by the service.

5. Click on an event to view its details. The event's description will contain information about the error message and any associated details that can help diagnose the problem.

6. Pay attention to the specific error messages, error codes, and other details mentioned in the event description. These can provide clues about the root cause of the issue.

Additionally, you can enable additional logging for Wired AutoConfig to gather more detailed information. To enable verbose logging for WAC, you can modify the registry settings by following these steps:

1. Press the Windows key, type "regedit," and select the "Registry Editor" application.

2. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dot3svc\Parameters
```

3. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named "EventLogLevel" if it doesn't already exist.

4. Set the value of "EventLogLevel" to 0xFFFFFFFF (hexadecimal) to enable verbose logging.

5. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

After enabling verbose logging, check the Event Viewer again for updated logs with more detailed information about the Wired AutoConfig service.

Remember to be cautious when modifying the registry. Incorrect changes to the registry can cause system instability, so it's always a good practice to create a backup or restore point before making any modifications.

# apache with ssl:
##############################

a)with certbot: https://www.linuxteck.com/secure-apache-with-ssl-in-rocky-linux/

b)without certbot:
- install apache basic: dnf install httpd
- install apache security module: dnf install mod_ssl
- check apache version: httpd -v

- httpd service - start and enable:
-- systemctrl start httpd
-- systemctrl enable httpd
-- systemctrl status httpd

- firewall things to consider
-- firewall-cmd --list-all
-- firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
-- firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
-- firewall-cmd --reload

- check webpage, port 80 + 443 should work
http://your-ip/
https://your-ip/

- openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout /etc/pki/tls/private/httpd.key -x509 -days 3650 -out /etc/pki/tls/certs/httpd.crt
- make changes to file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
-- change: SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt >> to: SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/httpd.crt
-- SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key >> to: SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/httpd.key
- reload apache: systemctl reload httpd

Problem:
there are no ActiveSiteServices anymore afters some windows updates

when digging deeper into the error, we found out that the citrix powershell command "Get-BrokerController" gets no information for ActiveSiteServices anymore:
https://developer-docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops-sdk/current-release/Broker/Get-BrokerController.html

Solution:
not known yet - no checkmk problem, maybe update citrix version and check afterwards if the powershell script Get-BrokerController gets some information afterwards

tp-link - Range extender - essential things to know

model: RE330EU

setup
---------
1) via the Tether App (Apple Store / Google Play) > you need a TP-Link ID for that!

2) via web browser:
- connect to wifi network: TP-Link_Extender,
- visit http://tplinkrepeater.net or http://192.168.0.254 > create password and login

3) via wps button
- press wps button on your router
- within 2 minutes press the wps button on the extender for 1 second
download iso from:
https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads/proxmox-virtual-environment/iso

use an clone tool that supports raw copy mode, like etcher!

- see also:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Prepare_Installation_Media
>> solution:
run command:
switch# aruba-central support mode

no you can for example run a command like:
port-access reauthenticate interface <INTERFACE-NAME>

if you want to bring the device / switch back under Aruba Central control run:
switch# no aruba-central support-mode
While ($True) {
(netsh wlan show interfaces) -Match '^\s+Signal' -Replace '^\s+Signal\s+:\s+',''
Start-Sleep -s 1
}
--------------------------------------

netsh wlan show interfaces

>> tcp 8006 is the default port
by default it is not possible to create a good old offline account, you need to enter a microsoft account etc, but there is a workaround:

1) when you are beeing ask to enter your microsoft account >> enter a@a.com under email account > press enter
2) enter a "random" password
> since this account is locked anyway you are able now to process to step 3
3) now enter you "local" name and create your local account: admin or so

no ssh logins possible anymore! Maximum number of sessions

Problem:
Aug 18 17:48:46 yourservername sshd[9846]: pam_systemd(sshd:session): Failed to create session: Maximum number of sessions (…sessions.

solution:
- see "man sshd_config" parameter MaxSessions:
MaxSessions
Specifies the maximum number of open shell, login or subsystem (e.g. sftp) sessions permitted per network connection. Multiple
sessions may be established by clients that support connection multiplexing. Setting MaxSessions to 1 will effectively disable
session multiplexing, whereas setting it to 0 will prevent all shell, login and subsystem sessions while still permitting for?
warding. The default is 10.
>> default is 10

let it increase to 20:

file /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
new line with:
MaxSessions 20

and restart sshd: /etc/init.d/ssh restart

after that run a "apt-get update" + "apt-get upgrade" command again, and it should work now.
steps to do:

#goto default directory
cd /etc/default

#make a backup of grub config
cp -p grub grub.save.original

#edit file /etc/default/grub >> change there the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=ttyS0 console=tty0"

#aktivate the settings by running the command:
update-grub . /boot/grub/grub.cfg

>> now reboot and connect using a serial cable and a tool like Tera Term VT or a putty serial connection, make sure to use only 9600bps as setting.
>> enjoy this new feature, you can now administrate the machien without a display ;-)

#process a csr request from console on windows server
certreq -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate:<Name>"
problem: harddrive is running out of space , since there are many files under /var/lib/mysql/binlog.*

solution:
under /var/lib/mysql there are a lot of files like:
binlog.000290
binlog.000291

Here are the steps to delete all binary logs except for the active one in MySQL 8:
#1: Connect to MySQL: mysql -u your_username -p
#2: show logs: SHOW BINARY LOGS;
#3: purge some logs: PURGE BINARY LOGS TO 'binlog.000000';

>> maybe you don't need binary logging (if one backup per day is okay for you), you can disable it:

disable binary logging:
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
[mysqld]
skip-log-bin


--------------------------
how to verify if binary logging is disabled?
--------------------------
after you disabled the binary logging and restartet the mysql service, you should get this in the console if you run a "show binary logs;":
mysql> show binary logs;
ERROR 1381 (HY000): You are not using binary logging
