Re: [389-users] fedora-idm-console is not working after ssl enabled
Hi, Thanks for the reply for you and team. yesterday i fixed that issue.my system is having already jss4 installed and the problem is related to path.i created libjss4.so link in my lib path, i.e /usr/lib as like, root@varad:/usr/lib# ls -l libjss4.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-08-23 18:24 libjss4.so - /usr/lib/jni/libjss4.so After that, console asked for certificate acceptance and everything went fine. this is ok for me. *I have one more doubt*, same thing i accessed through browser such as https://localhost:9830 and can login inside.but after that, i can't do any activity inside.that mean, i cant manage anything like, how i manage from fedora-idm-console.Is there anything needs to be configured in Apache side or any other settings.if possible, kindly let me know the solution.

NetworkManager, openswan and l2tp
Hello, I need to connect to a site via l2tp/openswan. I can set up openswan and xl2tpd manually and this works fine. However, bringing up the connection is not very comfortable and it would be much nicer to be able to use the networkmanager-openswan plugin. Unfortunately, l2tp and other 'advanced settings' cannot be selected from networkmanager-connection-editor. A quick look at the source code of NetworkManager-openswan-1.7.0 shows that these options are programmed, but seem not to be available in Fedora 15. Will these options eventually be set-able in Fedora? Thanks.

Re: Personal VPN on Fedora
On Wednesday 24 August 2011 17:17:15 Manuel Escudero wrote: 2011/8/24 Timothy Murphy gayle...@eircom.net Manuel Escudero wrote: I'm puzzled by this thread. It doesn't seem to me to be too difficult to set up an OpenVPN server, following the instructions in /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/ . Or are you all trying to do something else? Sorry to drop in on this thread, but it seems that there is some misunderstanding here... ;-) Yes, apparently Manuel is trying to do something else, which has nothing to do with creating a VPN on Fedora. He just expressed himself poorly. Read below. The idea was to get an easy solution to mount a personal VPN in Linux using an external pre-arranged solution such as those you might use on windows or mac, (HotspotShield/TunnelBear). As far as I looked at the HotspotShield and TunnelBear websites, they basically say: quote Q) What is TunnelBear? A) TunnelBear is the world’s easiest to use consumer VPN software that securely “tunnels” your internet connection to locations around the world. Q) How does TunnelBear work? A) TunnelBear creates a secure, encrypted connection between your computer and a server in the host country you want to connect to. This both protects your privacy allows you to simulate the internet experience from another country. Hotspot Shield: * Secure your web session, data, online shopping, and personal information online with HTTPS encryption. * Protect yourself from identity theft online. * Hide your IP address for your privacy online. * Access all content privately without censorship; bypass firewalls. * Protect yourself from snoopers at Wi-Fi hotspots, hotels, airports, corporate offices. /quote So it seems to me that TunnelBear and HotspotShield are commercial *proxy* *servers*, which clients use by connecting via the VPN. As far as I can see, Hotspot Shield and Tunnel Bear are both running VPN servers, on a free/commercial basis, and if you subscribe to them you can run a VPN client which communicates with or through them. Or have I got that wrong? You got it right. You get logged on their VPN, and they guarantee to clients anonymous access to the Internet, using their server as a proxy. The VPN is used in order to provide encrypted connection between the server and the client, and in addition to provide AA via pay-for certificates. See, Win/Mac users don't mount their own VPN servers when they wanna use VPN because of those apps, I found a solution like that but for Linux, and that was what I was looking for in the first place. This part is a bit confusing. It seems that Manuel doesn't make a distinction between a VPN and these commercial proxy services. Win/Mac users that he speaks about do not create a VPN, they are just clients to the commercial VPN. So they do not need to set up any VPN server or something similar. AFAIK, if you sign up for this service and get a certificate, you should not need any special software to connect to the HS/TB VPN-s. NetworkManager should be able to connect to them automatically, if configured to use the appropriate certificates. So on Linux at least, no additional software should be necessary, unless they are doing something weird and incompatible. As for Windows and Mac, I don't know, but if anything needs to be installed, it is a VPN client of some kind. Not the server. The thing is, in Win Mac, users just Download an app such as TunnelBear for example and install it with a NextNextNext tool, then just click ENABLE and they're magically browsing through VPN connection...

It doesn't seem to me to be too difficult to set up an OpenVPN server, following the instructions in /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/ . Or are you all trying to do something else? Sorry to drop in on this thread, but it seems that there is some misunderstanding here... ;-) Yes, apparently Manuel is trying to do something else, which has nothing to do with creating a VPN on Fedora. He just expressed himself poorly. Read below. The idea was to get an easy solution to mount a personal VPN in Linux using an external pre-arranged solution such as those you might use on windows or mac, (HotspotShield/TunnelBear). As far as I looked at the HotspotShield and TunnelBear websites, they basically say: quote Q) What is TunnelBear? A) TunnelBear is the world’s easiest to use consumer VPN software that securely “tunnels” your internet connection to locations around the world. Q) How does TunnelBear work? A) TunnelBear creates a secure, encrypted connection between your computer and a server in the host country you want to connect to. This both protects your privacy allows you to simulate the internet experience from another country. Hotspot Shield: * Secure your web session, data, online shopping, and personal information online with HTTPS encryption. * Protect yourself from identity theft online. * Hide your IP address for your privacy online. * Access all content privately without censorship; bypass firewalls. * Protect yourself from snoopers at Wi-Fi hotspots, hotels, airports, corporate offices. /quote So it seems to me that TunnelBear and HotspotShield are commercial *proxy* *servers*, which clients use by connecting via the VPN. As far as I can see, Hotspot Shield and Tunnel Bear are both running VPN servers, on a free/commercial basis, and if you subscribe to them you can run a VPN client which communicates with or through them. Or have I got that wrong? You got it right. You get logged on their VPN, and they guarantee to clients anonymous access to the Internet, using their server as a proxy. The VPN is used in order to provide encrypted connection between the server and the client, and in addition to provide AA via pay-for certificates. See, Win/Mac users don't mount their own VPN servers when they wanna use VPN because of those apps, I found a solution like that but for Linux, and that was what I was looking for in the first place. This part is a bit confusing. It seems that Manuel doesn't make a distinction between a VPN and these commercial proxy services. Win/Mac users that he speaks about do not create a VPN, they are just clients to the commercial VPN. So they do not need to set up any VPN server or something similar. AFAIK, if you sign up for this service and get a certificate, you should not need any special software to connect to the HS/TB VPN-s. NetworkManager should be able to connect to them automatically, if configured to use the appropriate certificates. So on Linux at least, no additional software should be necessary, unless they are doing something weird and incompatible. As for Windows and Mac, I don't know, but if anything needs to be installed, it is a VPN client of some kind. Not the server. The thing is, in Win Mac, users just Download an app such as TunnelBear for example and install it with a NextNextNext tool, then just click ENABLE and they're magically browsing through VPN connection...

I think that every ISP I've ever used has had rotten DNS servers (slow, overloaded, or even completely unresponsive), so I started running my own DNS server as soon as I learnt how. What used to be is not necessarily the way it is now and if you lock into specific DNS server addresses instead of letting them get assigned via DHCP (as in having a cable modem or DSL modem that gets address assignment from the provider), then yeah, you might run into issues. I also run my own DNS servers but that's because I want private LAN names and e-mail to resolve and I get the added benefit of being able to flush the DNS cache whenever I choose but for just about everyone I know, there really is no need to run your own DNS server.

In the library where I spend some time studying, I usually get a signal with a quality of about 20%. Well, is that really a problem? Some of the signal meters don't mean a great deal. They can show a combination of strength and/or quality, where the threshold of goodness could be anywhere. Generally speaking, the only way to improve the interface's reception is to replace the antenna. That's not easy to do in a laptop, where the antenna is usually buried somewhere inside the cabinet, and may be little more than a wire draggled around the screen. The alternative is to replace the wireless interface with an external one, one with either a better antenna, or a removable one where you can fit a better one. You can get USB wireless interfaces, or ones that plug into the card slot. A simpler thing to try, first, is sitting in a different spot in the library. Better reception may not help if they have a poor network, anyway, with too many clients simultaneously using a low bandwidth network. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

It works fine. I've always found it to be a problem with servers. Mail servers being one of them. It seems less of an issue with clients, and I've just let clients automatically set themselves up. I'm yet to mess with IPv6. I don't have a ADSL modem/router that supports it, and last time I looked there were no consumer equipment that did (only very expensive professional Cisco gear). I don't know if my ISP has got it working yet. Many don't, and I've read no news about the rest of the Australian backbone. The only way I could use IPv6 across the WWW, would be if I had access to IPv6/IPv4 gateway external to my ISP. And since it's not there externally, it's virtually pointless to use it internally. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
