It got COMM_FAILURES and unsubscribed all clients. I suspect an intermittent problem with the network card in rosen. I also cleared space on snf. I find the disk fills about twice each day and requires cleanup. If the labmembers email list is working, I would like to send email asking everyone to clean up until we can solve this problem more permanently.

I'm currently adding the Coral managers to brain. To this point, I have done all my work on brain where PostgreSQL is running. Since I don't yet have platinum2 set up for Coral, I'm running the application servers on brain to confirm that we're all ready to go. It should require only minor changes to get the servers running on platinum2. I took a quick shot at creating labnet/etc/site-specific/config,psu to get things running. Howerver, with a little help from you, we should be able to finish up quickly. There are some configuration issues remaining like the location of the web server, placement of the IOR URLs, ... Talk to you soon, Bill From bmurray at snf.stanford.edu Sun May 19 00:30:17 2002 From: bmurray at snf.stanford.edu (Bill Murray) Date: Sun, 19 May 2002 00:30:17 -0700 (PDT) Subject: PSU Status Message-ID: John, The admin server is up and running with a connection to the database on brain. I believe the only remaining issue is to get a web server up and running on the appropriate machine (platinum2 or apollo?) so that the other servers can get the admin manager IOR. I have left the admin manager up and running. You can take a look at the logs which are located in /var/log/coral on brain. If you need to look at the source that I installed from, it is located in /usr/local/coral/src/labnet. I compiled the source as coral and, of course, did the install as root. The most difficult part was getting PostgreSQL compiled. There were no binaries available for Solaris X86. Bill PS Mike and I spent all day last Monday with Ferenc from UCB. He's returning again this Monday. He said he spent all week reviewing our code in detail and had questions. PSS Feel free to call me at home tomorrow (oops.. today) if you have any questions. Finally, breakdown of last week/PSU install: Monday Ferenc all day Tue - Thu System prep and install of PostgreSQL on brain. Fri Set up tables, loaded data, installed Coral (Coral was the easy part. The time consuming part was system preparation and administration issues.)

In this case, you saved us some money. As far as the source of the problem, I do know that the equipment manager failed to update the database during the 5 day period you identified.

I have created initialization and termination scripts to automatically start and stop the database appropriately when brain changes init states. John and I have the Coral servers installed and running on platinum2. You can view the logs in /var/log/coral. We have also created the appropriate initialization and termination scripts to start and stop the Coral servers. The servers and clients all bootstrap themselves by going to a well-know URL to get the interoperable object reference (IOR) of the admin server. This requires an web server to be running on platinum2. We have used the apache web server that you had already installed. We used the default configuration file and confirmed that the apache initialization script runs before the Coral servers start. The clients are installed on both brain and platinum. John successfully ran your client from the SNF. To run the client, you need to type "/usr/local/bin/coral". You will probably want to modify your path to include /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin (which contains the shell script to start/stop/restart/status the servers). Please check your equipment hierarchy to confirm that it is correct. John was able to make a reservation, enable and disable equipment, and set his remote password. He fired up the resource client and added members "lavallee" and "rogosky". He created a project called "Demo Project" that is currently your default project. Demo Project charges to account Demo Account. Since we don't have the root password (and don't want or need it) on apollo and sol, we were unable to install the clients on those machines. When you're ready to install the clients on those machines, let us know and then we can modify or show you the appropriate configuration file to modify. Then, as root, on platinum2, you will need to run "gmake install" in /usr/local/coral/src/labnet. Since the user coral owns the source and most Coral-related files on brain and platinum2, I have set coral's home directory to /usr/local/coral and created a simple .profile with a rough cut at the appropriate environment. You will probably want to modify this and create an appropriate profile for root with things like gmake and rsync in the path. Please note that I have set the SITE environment variable to psu for the user coral. This variable must be set to correctly compile the code based on your site's configuration. If you wish to compile the code under your accounts, you will need to set SITE to psu. If and/or when you need to recompile the code, I have some suggestions to help keep the ownership and file permissions set properly. We have not installed any of the remote client code. To do this we need to know which machine will be running your site's web server. The remote install will then rsync the appropriate files to that machine. To run the remote client stuff, you will need Zelix KlassMaster (which will cost $199). Please contact John about how to order it so that you can get the educational price. A few final questions. I need the name of the mail host where all PSU lab members will have an email account or alias. I tentatively set this to apollo in the database. I need the name of the mail host where all equipment mailing lists will reside. Once again I tentatively set this to apollo. Let John or me know if you have any problems or questions. Bill From bmurray at snf.stanford.edu Wed May 22 23:11:17 2002 From: bmurray at snf.stanford.edu (Bill Murray) Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 23:11:17 -0700 (PDT) Subject: PSU Coral Running In-Reply-To: <937AC68A9AFF694991B176C5E1383117580FC3@engrmail1.engr.psu.edu> Message-ID: Guy, That's my mistake. John must have run the client from platinum2. Here's what happened. During testing, I installed the clients and servers on brain. When we moved the servers to platinum2, the revised configuration files were not copied to brain. Hence your client was using the configuration files I created for running against the servers on brain. I believe I have the problem corrected. (I can't test this from home.) If not, send me email, and go ahead and run the client from platinum2.

Since we were receiving this email, I have changed an entry in your database to send this mail to coral at platinum2.mri.psu.edu. Since no email account exists for this user, you will need to make sure this user can get mail or choose another mail address. If you choose another mail address, let me know and I will modify the datbase.

Apparently, the SMTPMailer class assumes the outgoing mail server is the hostname of the recipient's email addresss. I've included Troy's comment from the code. // Fix me. At the moment, all email addresses, // both sender and recipient, must be fully // qualified. Also, the outgoing mail server // is assumed to be the hostname of the // recipient's email address. This should be // determined by calling the Configuration // Manager to get the "outgoing mail server" // parameter.

Attached is the log file from my remote coral launch attempt. It seems like it dies trying to construct an encryption object. I checked javaws.policy against my pc platform. They both looked the same. Thanks for taking a look at this. Please forget about it if it takes more than a few minutes of your time.

This is due to a difference in how Sun deals with the JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) in JDK 1.3 vs. JDK 1.4. In JDK and earlier, JCE was an optional download ... at that time, we downloaded another JCE (from an Australian group called ABA) with Remote Coral since most folks didn't have Sun's JCE installed anyhow. As of JDK 1.4, the base version of J2SE comes with JCE installed ... and it requires that any other Cryptography provider have a signed certificate (which the ABA stuff does not). What is the short term fix to your problem? I would suggest that you move /usr/j2se/jre/lib/jce.jar to /usr/j2se/jre/lib/jce.jar.ignore. This will "turn off" the JDK 1.4 JCE stuff that sun delivers and the JCE from ABA that is downloaded with Remote Coral will work properly. This, of course, has the downside that anyone writing an application that counts on Sun's JCE will be out of luck. In the longer term what is our approach? There is another provider named BouncyCastle (www.bouncycastle.org) that does public domain cryptography stuff that has a signed provider that works with the Sun JCE but provides a public domain version of RSA encryption. This should then work with JDK 1.4 out of the box (that is, with the Sun JCE installed ...). The only thing that I don't know yet is how to take care of what to do if someone is running a remote coral client with JDK 1.3 ... which doesn't come with JCE pre-installed. BouncyCastle also has a cleanroom JCE implementation that includes thier provider, but I don't know how to tell JavaWebStart to download different things depending on whether JDK 1.3 vs JDK 1.4 is installed on the client machine. But, in the short term, if you move jce.jar to jce.jar.ignore in /usr/j2se/jre/lib, I believe that remote coral will work as expected. Good luck, John
