Encrypted communication of VIX

I had a fundamental question on the VIX api.  Is communication between the caller of the API and the encrypted virtual machine?  By example, if I call LoginInGuest will be sent encrypted login?  We use vix on an internal network, but I'm curious nonetheless.

Mark

Yes, by default it is encrypted using an SSL session *. However, the certificate that comes with the host is self-signed, so if you care about the man-in-the-middle attacks, you'll want to replace it with something of a signatory of confidence.

  • It's a little more complicated, based on what VMware product you use with VIX. If Workstation or Player, then no, we just use a domain socket local pipe/UNIX. If it is 2.0 or vSphere Server, then there are two channels (a SOAP communication with the host country, and a TCP connection by open virtual machine), that use SSL.

    I'm sure that you've read about the verification of the system clock: verification of validity of the certificates are no error in the date, time or time zone, and sometimes allowing to use an Internet time source, computers can introduce errors.

    Assuming that's not the problem... Untrusted connection error page displays a code in parentheses (separated_by_underscore_characters)? Sometimes, you need to expand a section of the technical Details of the page to see the code.

    To provide a specific set of next steps, please let us know the error code (or codes) you get.

    For example, among users of Mac recently, a common code is sec_error_bad_signature and the most common reason for that seems to be the shield of Web of Avast. Web Shield intercepts your navigation and filter, but to filter sites secure, it has "fake" certificates for Firefox. Avast have set Firefox to rely on its false certificates, but which seems to fail on a regular basis.

    To test this theory, try disabling scanning of encrypted sites. I saw these steps in another post (if all goes well, they apply to Mac):

    1. Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
    2. Select settings in the left side menu.
    3. Adopt a Protection Active.
    4. Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
    5. Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok

    If that solves the problem, but you want to filter encrypted communication, you need to import the Avast! signature in Firefox Certificate Manager of certificates, References tab.

    Did you know the secure certificate errors, for example the sec_error_bad_signature error code?

  • My email is hacked I have to delete it and the password

    My email has been hacked. I installed a new account. You need to remove the old one and other relevant details that I must.

    Change of Auditors in an e-mail client would not affect the box mailbox itself, apart from the fact that you will stop making reference to the mailbox.  The hacker will always have control over this mailbox and can still access all personal data resident in it.  If you used to leave a copy of messages on the server, the hacker can see everything that you wrote, including the e-mail addresses of all those who have sent messages.  If the email contains sensitive information, the hacker still has that as well.  If you have kept your contacts online in the mailbox, the hacker has those too.

    If you can still connect to the mailbox through a web browser, you can stop the pirate.  If you wish to continue using the mailbox, simply change the password to something long and a mixture of lower and uppercase, letters, numbers, and special characters.  If there are security issues, change their answers to these questions so, specifying the wrong answers you remember.  For example, if a security is "what city were you born?", answer "Moonbase Alpha" or some other nonsense response and then remember the answers that you used.  Check to make sure none of the secondary addresses have been added to the account or the hacker may be able to access it again.  Make sure that the primary address is always yours.  With this type of approach, you should be able to secure your mailbox again.

    If you do not keep copies of messages on the server, the hacker can't do much use the account because it does not contain a lot of information and abandonment it's a way to fix the problem.  The hacker doesn't have access to any of the data on your PC itself (unless you have some sort of spybot on your PC), so it is not necessary to disinfect local data.

    Such a compromise has become quite common these days and a couple of the reasons are because people 1) access their online resources of networks unprotected and open like those found in cafés Internet, Starbuck, or same McDonald and 2) they do not use SSL for the connection, it does not the service or because they do not realize that they should.  When using an online service such as, for example, Facebook, we should allow the security option in the profile security settings to use "https" all the time or access to the service with https:// instead of http://...  This encrypts communications and your traffic can be sniffed with common tools to steal credentials like Firesheep, a plug-in for the popular browser Firefox.  In an e-mail client, incoming and outgoing servers should also allow (or require) encrypted connections (SSL or TLS) and if they are not, you should never use an e-mail on a public network client.

    my Windows AD is open LDAPS, vFoglight view log application error LDAP,.

    So narrow Windows AD LDAPS, via the LDAP protocol is OK

    vFoglight is suppoirt secure LDAP.

    Setting up a connection encrypted with SSL LDAP

    Use the following instructions if you need to encrypt communication between the administration server and the LDAP server.

    To encrypt communication between the administration server and LDAP:

    1: acquire the certificate for the LDAP server to the administrator .pem format.

    2: import the certificate into the keystore of administration server, \jre\lib\security\cacerts (default password: changeit), with the following command:

    \jre\bin\keytool-import - file - alias ldapsvrcert - keystore - storepass

    Note: If you do not specify the password by using the - storepass, keytool you asked to provide.

    3: in the Panel of navigation, under the dashboard, click Administration > users & security > Directory Services settings.

    4: under LDAP locations, click on change.

    5: specify the URL of the LDAP server in the following format:

    LDAPS://ldap_server_host_name:636

    Note: The LDAP over SSL port number is usually 636. Confirm the correct port with your LDAP server administrator number.

    6: restart the management server.

    I've highlighted the areas that I have a question about. Mainly, I'll have the script to clone the virtual machine, wait until the status of tools is correct and then try to configure the network. However, it seems that VMGuestNetworkInterface is still having a problem connecting to the tools on the client. If I wait a bit more (30-60 seconds), then the command works fine.

    Any help is appreciated more.

    The ToolsStatus property is not a good point to determine if the operating system in your guest is completely started.

    It only tells you that VMware Tools service has been started in the guest OS.

    The Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface cmdlet is based on a BAT file (for Windows clients) that uses the ipconfig command (and sometimes the command netsh) command to retrieve information about the network known in the s guest OS maps. See the file GetVmGuestNetworkInterface_WindowsGuest.bat in the folder PowerCLI\Scripts of vSphere.

    The BAT file is passed to guest with the VIX API.

    The first message you see seems to indicate that this communication through VIX to the guest operating system is not yet established.

    The 2nd message, the Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface cmdlet, is the consequence of the failure of the Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface cmdlet. Since there is no, he returned all the data and therefore $GuestInterface is $null.

    The simplest solution is to place a line "sleep 60' before the Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface ".

    Another solution may be to use WMI to query the operating system on the guest.

    But since you configure the network adapters on the client that there is no option for what you try to do.

  • Encrypted L3 Communications between the TOWER and WLC?

    Hi all

    I work with a client who wants to put the towers away to their WLC (a 4402). The problem is that communications between the TOWER and WLC must be secured, even through their private Wan! I have a few questions that result, if someone is able to help you;

    1. I can't know if and what method of encryption is (is it AES etc.?) used on connections between towers and the WLC and what are the steps?

      1. The terminology can be a problem here, it's not a wireless mesh, just classic LAP for WLC
    2. EXTENSIVE customer network is already encrypted (IPSec VPN via VPLS) in parts - what is the consequence of execution of AP<-->WLC with end to end (if possible) on a network encryption EXTENDED with IPSec, i.e. double encryption?

    Strange but true - pointers will be greatly appreciated... Phil.C

    With a controller of the 4400 series, the control traffic between the AP and the regulator is already encrypted AES.  The user traffic is not encrypted.  If you use a 5508 controller all traffic between the AP and the controller is encrypted AES.

    For what is running the traffic through a VPN, it should work.  The issue I see with this is with the MTU in general.  The controller will drop all packets with a payload of less than 32bytes data.  According to the MTU over the VPN I've seen packets getting fragmented and it is a question.  If you use one of the versions CAPWAP (5.2 or newer) discovery dynamic MTU is part of the Protocol and this MTU problem does not really exist.

  • What encryption (if any) is used by Apple bluetooth Magic keyboard (MLA22LL/A) when communicating with MacBook Pro?

    I am considering buying magical Keyboard wireless Apple (MLA22LL/A). What (if any) encryption is used by this keyboard blue-tooth when it communicates with the Mac Book Pro?

    I have a Mac Book Pro running OS X El Capitan.

    The only real encryption it offers is the fact that it pairs with your computer based on a code that you see only on your computer.     There are some wireless keyboards with much more sophisticated cipher such as AES.   Interestingly enough Apple uses AES encryption for its images of which are encrypted disk utility.

    When you use a Windows keyboard, you won't get the same start strokes keyboard sequence, and the implementation of the Alt key and the windows are in reverse order of the Mac keyboard functionality.  Many start sequence shortcuts only work on the wired Apple compatible keyboards.   Logitech and compatible third-party Apple MacAlly keyboards.  Microsoft for its own keyboards makes a pilot who will the placement of the button Alt and Windows in the right order.

    ALT = key Option from Apple.
