8/10/2007 VPN Concentrator has been reconfigured to allow connections from PPTP/L2TP clients
The University’s VPN concentrator is now configured to allow connections from PPTP, L2TP, or L2TP/IPSec clients. Because of this reconfiguration, the Microsoft VPN client can now be used to connect to the University’s VPN. Encryption will be required when using these protocols.
Because of IPSec’s superior encryption methods, the use of an IPSec VPN client is still the recommended way to connect.

Recent Ingeniux issues and actions
Thursday, May 10
I Installed version 5.250 on webserver2. Barbara and I subsequently tested the current Macintosh client against this version and found that a significant number of our issues were resolved.
The design-time server was serving the admin client to all users. Recycling the app pools in IIS restored the serving of the author client.
Thursday, May 17
I performed the stop IIS – delete dependency graphs – start IIS – full site publish sequence. The entiresitepub folder contains 8218 objects.
Friday May 18
The CMS was sluggish in responding to page check out and in. There was an error on the server, which I restarted.
Week of May 21
System continues to be unresponsive at times. Simply restarting IIS seems to resolve the issue.
May 24
Some pages were returning a 500 error on the live site. Restoring from the backup on webserver2 was ineffective as the same errors were replicated there. The error-clearing sequence mentioned above resolved the issue, although it took somewhat more than an hour to fully resolve.
Full publish on CMS
At 8:41 this morning, in response to some errors in the igxcsapi log, I deleted the dependency graphs and performed a full publish.
Executed full publish on CMS
I executed a full publish after deleting the dependency graphs. News items on the main page had not been publishing correctly. This generally will be a weekly task.
Upgraded webserver2 to 5.2.39
In anticipation of testing the Mac 5.2 prototype client, I upgraded the server to 5.2.39. This is the DST-fixed version. I had no reason to put it up before now.
System crashed
The CMS server responded to client connections with the following error:
An error occurred while retrieving the root node of the tree.
Error starting session:
Not enough storage is available to complete the operation.
After clicking okay the this error appeared:
Microsoft JScript runtime error “800a136f”
‘name’ is null or not an object
/upsweb/assignment_list.asp, line 69
At 0945, I:
- stopped IIS
- stopped PeerSync service
- deleted depgraph files
- restarted IIS
- performed a full publish
- restarted PeerSync service
System running okay, publishing is in process. I think the errors were symptomatic and not necessarily accurate; however, I’m logging them here in case they recur.
Upgrade to Ingeniux on CMS
Updated the server on CMS to Ingeniux42SR1-4.2.85.
3/15 – Aruba Wireless Network Upgraded to Version 3.1
The Aruba wireless controller, which currently provides wireless service to access points in Harned Hall, was upgraded to ArubaOS 3.1 from version 2.5.3. The upgrade was performed at 10:00, and took approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Upgraded webserver2 to Ingeniux 5.2.36
I upgraded webserver2 to Ingeniux 5.2.36, the version needed to support the improvements to the Mac client. Barbara and I will test the client tomorrow morning.
Change to security settings:
Due to changes in how the Mac OS handles Windows authentication, the editlivejava directory security no longer is set to Integrated Windows Authentication; instead, it allows access by the Internet Guest Account, IUSR_WEBSERVER2. (The Ingeniux folks are having a hard time working out these settings; nevertheless, Sean feels that some of the problems we’ve had in recent testing of the Mac client may be related to authentication.)

HTML Tidy option included in upgrade
This release comes with a version of HTMLTidy, the use of which is an option during the upgrade. Sean recommends using the report-only mode as well as the option that shows the original cdata block with the proposed changes. The resulting report is located in the upgrade directory (found at the same level as the xml directory in the site folder).
