HTTP requests are no longer forwarded to TRIRIGA

This same troubleshooting applies to Liberty.
See: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20TRIRIGA1/page/Troubleshooting%20SSO

HTTP requests are no longer forwarded to TRIRIGA
After you upgrade TRIRIGA on WebSphere Application Server, IBM HTTP Server no longer forwards requests to TRIRIGA.
You must reconfigure the web server in WebSphere Application Server. One method of reconfiguring the web server is to use the WebSphere Customization Toolbox (WCT). WCT contains the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool, which steps through the process of deleting and re-creating the web server definition for IBM HTTP Server.
Tip: When you specify the application server location in the Configuration Scenario Selection dialog, if your configuration scenario is local then browse to the location of the \AppServer folder. For example, a common location for the application server is C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer.
If you change the host name, check the plugin-cfg.xml file to make sure that it contains the correct host name specified. Specifically, check the Transport Hostname property. The plugin-cfg.xml is typically in pathToInstall/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webServerName/plugin-cfg.xml.

Using LdapQuery to debug LDAP connection problems in WebSphere Application Server

Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem(Abstract)

How to use LdapQuery web application to debug LDAP configuration problems with IBM® WebSphere® Application Server

Resolving the problem

Use the ldapQuery web application utility to search the LDAP server.
This will allow you to quickly determine if the search is returning what you expect.
Once you have successfully queried the LDAP server, you may use the settings in IBM® WebSphere® Application Serve to enable security to the server.

Useful when:

• Configuring security using an LDAP server for the first time
• Currently using one LDAP server but want to test connections to another
• Planning to change from stand-alone LDAP to federated LDAP servers

Troubleshooting IHS - MustGather information for Windows OS

IBM HTTP Server version.

install_root/apache -v

Configuration file:

install_root/conf/httpd.conf

Error log:

install_root/logs/error.log

Access log:

install_root/logs/access.log

LDAP properties file

install_root/conf/ldap.prop

Traces: IBM HTTP Server LDAP over SSL

1. Stop IBM HTTP Server.
2. Clear all logs in the install_root/logs directory.
3. Edit the httpd.conf file:
• Change Loglevel to debug.
• Add SSLTrace directive to the bottom of the httpd.conf file.

Enable LDAP tracing:

Create the following system variable:

LDAP_TRACE_FILE

Set the value with the name for the log file (for example: c:\ldaptrace.log).

Create the following system variable:

LDAP_DEBUG

Set the value to 65535.

Enable GSKit trace:

Create the following system variable:

GSK_TRACE_FILE.

Set the value with the name for the log file (for example: c:\gsktrace.log).

6. Start IBM HTTP Server.
7. Recreate the problem.
8. Capture the following:

netstat -na > netstat.out

Collect the following data files:

• httpd.conf, error_log, access_log
• netstat.out
• ldaptrace_log
• gsktrace_log
• ldap.prop
• IBM HTTP Server version
• Include the date and time of failure along with the browser version and the full URL that resulted in the LDAP failure. For example:

https://www.ihshost.com/mystuff/goodies/index.html

Security warnings when loading to AutoCAD 2014: Troubleshooting

The installation or upgrade process for version 12 of TRIRIGA® CAD Integrator/Publisher for the AutoCAD 2014 application might generate security warnings. You can resolve this issue by adding the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher installation path to the AutoCAD TRUSTEDPATHS variable.

Symptoms

In a security concern window, you see a message that an executable file was found outside of the specified trusted locations.

The security window is displayed twice: once for the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher program commands, and once for the IBM TRIRIGA menu items.

In both security windows, you click Load, and TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher starts. However, the next time you start TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher, the security windows are displayed again, and you must load the path names again.

Resolving the problem

To prevent the security windows from being displayed, add the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher installation path to the AutoCAD TRUSTEDPATHS variable.

1. Open AutoCAD 2014.
2. In the command line, enter TRUSTEDPATHS.
3. Add the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher installation path. The default location is C:\Program Files\IBM\TRIRIGA\CI-12\bin\ac.
