I have a simple Grails app that I've written to authenticate against an LDAP server. To develop it, I've installed ApacheDS locally and populated it with an LDIF file. Now I want to deploy it to CloudBees. Is it possible to install an LDAP server on CloudBees?
If not, an alternative seems to be to use the Grails ldap-server plugin. However, it doesn't have any documentation on how to configure it. How do I configure this plugin to load an LDIF on startup?
Unfortunately, running LDAP in a CloudBees app container/stack won't work because in-bound routing to your application port must be over HTTP/HTTPS.
Alternative 1: host the LDAP server outside of CloudBees (like on your own EC2 server)
Alternative 2: [for the highly motivated] you might be able to get a WebSocket gateway of some kind to work, but you'd special code on the client and server side to negotiate the socket stream hand-off outside of the LDAP server and client. [Client -> WS-Client --> CloudBees --> WS-Server --> LDAP Server]
gripe: why can't all protocols support virtual hosting like HTTP? -- that would make them much more Cloud-friendly :(

Good Morning
I have created a Jenkins server in AWS I am able to access the platform using the IP of the server
however, I want to access it more securely.
I have set up a subdomain on my hosting service and I set the IP of the server as an A record
I have also defined this in the configuration section of Jenkins
however, when I access the URL https://domainname I get nothing
but if I add 8080 at the end of it it takes me to the Jenkins platform
what am I missing here?
Thanks
I recommend you to use AWS Application Load Balancer to access to you jenkins web server.
I will host https certificat (if you are using AWS Certificate Manager) and you will be able configure DNS to redirect to ALB name.
You could use Apache with Jenkins to use client certificates for authentication, but is there a less bulky way that is just as simple on Windows or RHEL? Perhaps, customizing the Jenkins code is an option, since it says it already runs in a Jetty servlet? A way to do this in Hudson itself?
With Apache Web Server, I was fighting with some plugins, like Selenium related plugins. Also, I noticed more issues connecting to slaves when using a proxy despite using the tunnel option. Leaner and meaner would be nice.
I am trying to use the Grails plugin 'directory services' to access LDAP data. I am unable to configure it in GGTS. Can anyone help me with the code or directions to be used in coding a program for LDAP access in GGTS.
Did you check the documentation http://lr.github.io/directory-service/guide/configuration.html to see how to configure the plugin ?
This is a client and this means you have to install / configure also a ldap server. Have a look at the apache directory project https://directory.apache.org to get a ldap client / server . Afterwards you can connect from Grails as client to the Ldap-Server.
I have one application says "app1"(main application support login) which is deploy some different machine tomcat server and another application says "app2" which also deployed in another machine tomcat server. So, should i need to install siteminder web agent to both the machine or it is on only in "appl2"?
Depends on what kind of agent you are using- if you're using a web agent for a web server (IIS, Apache), you could just install it on that box assuming it handles requests to both app servers. If you are installing the agent for the app server, Siteminder could log the user into the app on the "app1" server, and then the app/app server token could be passed to "app2"
You can use a traditional reverse proxy (apache with mod_proxy) or SiteMinder Secure Proxy Server to handle the Web Agent work and forward traffic to the destination web/app servers.
Secure Proxy Server enables your Single Sign-On environment to have "agentless" capabilities. You will still have 1 or more SiteMinder Web Agents (depending on the number of proxies that are deployed), but the web and application servers will not need to have any agents installed. The web/app servers only need to be able to consume the HTTP Headers provided by SiteMinder.
when I go to application tier, configure installed features ,start wizard,
it will ask whether I would like to have sharepoint on this machine or not, I go for it and the error displays is:
TF400081: Cannot connect to the Internet. An Internet connection is needed to be able to install SharePoint.
We are using a proxy on the network to access the internet, when I look in the log it says:
Exception Message: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required. (type WebException)Status: ProtocolError
Response Status Code: ProxyAuthenticationRequired
how can I run the standard configuration wizard do that it gets authenticated by the proxy?
This is because it's trying to download all the prerequisites for sharepoint. It may just be easier to do an offline install by manually installing the prereqs yourself.

There is two ways:
1. switch off require authentication for your server on proxy
install your own intermediate proxy (Proxomitron.info for example) on you work computer and make TFS server to connect to you proxy instead of corporate.
And configure an intermediate proxy to bypass all connection without authentication.
