This we hear a lot. Bad communications, unable to speak English, lots of passing the buck and run around, and then delay after delay presumably to push you to find an alternative to them actually doing something.

It's gone way downhill in the past year. Even our channel reps have been pretty shocked. The lack of English has been an issue for some time (obviously not the only company outsourcing though).

Offshoring. It is extremely unlikely that they are outsourcing. Outsourcing means going to another company. Offshoring is what sends stuff to India.

They might be doing both. Or neither, a lot of Indian call centers are in New Jersey.

Lol, my kinda of town 😉

Success
Here are steps i followed.

Exported valid cert to pfx format. Remember the export pw for later. I used a recently renewed 3 year wildcard cert for our domain. I used this one for Exchange CRM, now JIRA because reasons. Copy pfx file to a place on linux server, i made a folder called /certificates copy pfx over existing pfx file in /etc/pki/CA/certs/domain.com/domain.com.pfx Open server.xml file located in
/jiraapplicationfolder/jira/conf/server.xml
Find the blob of text that begins "To run JIRA via HTTPS:" blahblah, a bit farther down <Connector port="yourhttpsport" protocol="org.apa...

Find the following parameters, change to correct values in server.xml.
keystoreFile="path/to/pfx"
keystorePass="exported private key pw"
Restart tomcat, or the whole server if you want.
Your cert is now updated.

Have you downloaded R-Studio?
I was going to before I found a backup of the Website I needed to restore. I ended up spending my limited time bring the old code up to date instead of testing the software. Thanks for suggestion.

Sure thing.

@brrabill - Glad we could help out!

Hey cool, welcome to the community!

Glad to be here.... Always good to get feedback... both good, and bad!

This is definitely the place for that. 😉

Made no configuration changes to the firewall tonight. Shutdown FreePBX VM, made a new one, and stuff seems to be working as it should. I'll do a few more tests tomorrow to make sure all is well.

Edit: I lied. I made a new DHCP reservation for my new FreePBX server.

We use the Chassis ID or Serial Number. Depending on vendor/brand.

@ccwtech said in Ping... Is a 2 or 4 ms return on ethernet significant?:

That's their main switch. No other switches to bypass.

The point was ping something besides the server.

The server has all kinds of reason to provide bad responses.

If nothing else pings with odd response times, it means it is the server.

@momurda said in Getting a version of certbot that works on debian stretch:

9., the main repo still at .10

Got it, I didn’t see the title too I see it says Stretch, I should have known.

And I can’t tell you because I can’t install the motherfucking thing.

Now it may be that they had money to flaunt that they could burn in the past, burnt it all, and are now living with the consequences of throwing that money away. But that's a little different. They still felt that throwing money away was worth it at the time. Today, sure, maybe they've run out of money, or many they just say that to justify decisions, but at the last time that they were making IT spending decisions....

@dbeato said in desktop.ini:

Every folder in a user profile has an .ini file as far as I have known Windows.

I just never saw desktop.ini before so I was curious.

I understand, sometimes it can become corrupt and a reboot usually fixes them.

Very convenient, as for me

Thanks

@jaredbusch said in Easy way to remove extended security info (ACLs) from multiple folders on Linux?:

@scottalanmiller Was hoping they had finally updated the plugin.

No such luck.

I had to turn off blocking for a few minutes for another task that was getting messed up. So I clicked through this also.

Turns out that I should not have bothered.

It's using the Intel controller. . .

powershell.exe get-disk

@fateknollogee said in CentOS 7: eth0 down after reboot:

Adding this line (suggestion by Squeakz on #ovirt IRC) fixed the issue.
Each host has 4 nics, I only made the change on the first nic. When I tried on all 4 nics, none of them worked after reboot..

NM_CONTROLLED=no

My point exactly. Get Network Manager out of the equation on CentOS, things always start working.

@dafyre I typed in a random thread number and got this one and boom... continued conversation.

Same thing as randomly drawing this card from your deck. 🙂

what a waste of time. i canned it and went with centrify express, worked 1st time.

Yeah third party software works. I used to use PowerBrokers Identity Services from BeyondTrust... that worked great...

But, it's third party non-open source software.

Now I simply use realmd and winbind:

Were you able to get nested groups from AD to work properly on the Samba shares without PowerBroker's software?

Side-note - I never did get a chance to play with that. To much upgrading over the last few months.

Yes nested groups work in Samba.

What does it show if you enter the command: id [email protected]?

Booted up the server yesterday and it only has ubuntu 16.04.
id [email protected] - no such user

I am going to use your notes and build a new server with Fedora and see if I have any sticking points.

Ultimate goal - We use a linux fax server that puts pdf's into each users folder on the share based on the phone number. I am trying to figure out how lock down each users folder using RBAC with nested groups from AD. If that's possible at all.

Trying to move away from Windows in the future. Don't know how successful I will be.
