security - Enabling cipher TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0xa) on Windows Server 2003+ISA 2006

itemprop="text">

I have been given a task to disable
all "weak" ciphers/protocols on our very old ISA server based on Windows Server 2003. I
have disabled all protocols but TLS1.0, and all ciphers but RC2/128, RC4/128 and Triple
DES 168/168. But Qualys SSL Labs test utility does not display me that I have a 3DES
encryption available on my ISA server. The only cipher suites listed
are:

TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
            (0x4) 
TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0x5)

href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245030" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This
KB says that when Triple DES 168 cipher is enabled, the
TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA cipher suite is available. However, it is not. We need
this cipher suite to allow a Windows 8.1 Phone connecting to ActiveSync published by
this ISA. What could be the reason of 3DES encryption to be unavailable in this
configuration, and what should we do in order to allow the connection for a Windows 8.1
phone without being vulnerable to
POODLE?

EDIT: There was apparently a
server-side malfunction of some sort, a reboot fixed 3DES availability, although the
same KB states that registry change should have worked at once. I've got another server
with the same problem, got it fixed with registry modification only,
though.

Answer

If your registry change didn't take effect
immediately, then just restart your computer.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
