Chris Vugrinec's weblog

after uploading your pictures to picassa, update the picassa web manager in the com_rokin component….the coolIris flash thingie needs an RSS file that is generated in ext_cooliris_wall_album.php script. the function generateRss (the function that actually makes the rss file) is being called after you do the following –> in component–> Rokin Gallery –> configuration –> click on CoolIris 3D web albums and click the ‘ Save ‘ Button….I am writing this down because I am sure I will forget this…cheers

Case:

Sometimes you want to share delicate information between some people.
This is how you create a public/ private keys on 2 different linux machines:

• On the 1st machine you generate the keys, with: gpg –gen-key (you will get a dialogue on what to do…for this purpose I stick with the default values: 2048 bits, DSA and Elgamal
• Export the key, you want this file on the 2nd machine….export it with: gpg –export-secret-keys > someName.key
• Copy the someName.key file on the 2nd machine and import it with the following command: gpg –allow-secret-key-import –import someName.key ….it is now added to your keyring
• On the 1st machine, encrypt a file gpg style with the following command: gpg -r theMailAdressWhichIsUsedInThePrivateKey -e someFile.txt  (r = recipient…this is the email keyname, e stands for encrypt) this command will create an ecrypted gpg file for you
• Copy the file to the 2nd machine (the machine where you copied your key) and decrypt it with the following command: gpg -d someFile.txt.gpg

Load your weblogic environment:

note that:

HOSTNAME is a variable…usually the hostname of the server you work on
PASSWORD is a variable

Create your java certificates/ trust with the following commands:

# Create the certificates

keytool -genkey -validity 10000 -alias HOSTNAME -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -dname “CN=HOSTNAME, OU=Engineering, O=Datalinks, L=Amsterdam, ST=Noord Holland, C=NL” -keypass PASSWORD -keystore identity.jks -storepass PASSWORD

# Self Sign the certificate

keytool -selfcert -validity 10000 -v -alias HOSTNAME -keypass PASSWORD -keystore identity.jks -storetype jks

# Export the root certificate

keytool -export -v -alias HOSTNAME -file identity.der -keystore identity.jks

# Import the root certificate back with the same name as in step 1 and step 2

keytool -import -v -alias HOSTNAME -trustcacerts -file identity.der  -keystore identity.jks

# Import the root certificate from the node manager / managed server into the key store. If you are creating the trust keystore for admin server on server A and if the node manager is to run on server B, then you need to import the root certificate of server B into the keystore on server A as trustedcacert

keytool -import -v -alias HOSTNAME -trustcacerts -file HOSTNAME.der  -keystore identity.jks

In your nodemanager.properties put the following stuff

KeyStores=CustomIdentityAndCustomTrust
CustomIdentityKeyStoreFileName=LOCATION OF IDENTITY FILE identity.jks
CustomTrustKeyStoreFileName=LOCATION OF TRUST FILE trust.jks
CustomIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase=PASSWORD (in plain text…this will be encrypted next time you start the nodemanager)
CustomIdentityKeystoreType=JKS
CustomIdentityAlias=HOSTNAME
CustomIdentityPrivateKeyPassPhrase=PASSWORD (in plain text…this will be encrypted next time you start the nodemanager)

If you have vmware fusion problems and is says something like:

network bridge vmnet0 not running

do the following (sudo)

 /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/boot.sh --restart

By default weblogic starts a managed server with serverType WLS…

If you like to startup the server lightweight…without EJB, JMS and JCA then start the server with param

-DserverType=wlx, Of course there are other ways to do this...bit this one is imho the easiest.
