plugins scripted, native assistants and HTTP cookies

I'm developing a plugin script for a family of network devices. After getting it working mainly, I make an effort to refactor in order to follow the instructions of the user interface. It's pretty simple and I am happy with the guide because it makes it easy to make a plugin appear native, but I'm having some trouble to make parts of the plugin converted assistants rather than forms of display in the main window.

The two problems are essentially:

  1. Launch of a new window in a plugin script seems not "native" - it's just a new IE window. I tried to open a new window by Javascript as well as targeting "_new" to an anchor point, and both behave the same way.

  2. HTTP cookies in the browser instance integrated into the client vSphere for my plugin are not sent to the app server when a new window opens. I checked with tcpdump - I see http cookies when the request comes from the vSphere client, but as soon as a new window is created, the cookies are not present.

I suspect that these two problems can either be resolved with a solution or that none will be possible.

I use cookies for several reasons:

  1. query string variables is passed to the plugin the vSphere client are sent only on request initiated from the client to the plugin. If I want to keep any of this information for the following requests that come from the plugin, not the vSphere client, I pass somehow - and cookies makes the most sense, so I don't have to mess with the fields of hidden form or URL rewriting in anchors.

  2. the plugin requires additional authentication. Not all users need to get unfettered access to the devices managed by the plugin and I authenticate users - so after I do that, I hide an authentication token in a cookie.

I am not forced to use cookies, so I'm open to suggestions for another way to do what I'm trying to do better. I suspect (but not confirmed) that because cookies are not defined, basic HTTP authentication would fail in a similar way as both simplify attached to the session http request headers. Strongly, I would prefer not to have to encode and transmit everything under query string parameters.

So, here are my two questions:

  1. How a plugin script can launch a 'native' window to display a wizard when the source of the new window is the plugin itself and not a point of extension?

  2. How a plugin script can pass data between the parties, integrated within the main window of the vSphere client and a new window for a dialogue or an Assistant?

See you soon!

I don't think you can do much about the IE window.  It's kind of the nature of the beast.

Instead of cookies, why not use the session ID?  It will be current session ID your in the vCenter and would make a key for a database (either MySQL, Perl Sessions, etc.).  You can store your additional values under this key.  You will need to create logic on your web server, but it will correct the dependence of cookie.

What type of additional authentication are you talking about?  Your plugin is talking to another SOAP/REST instance to manage network devices?  I think the session of treatment for server-side the sessionId vCenter would be your best bet.

  • How to set and read cookies in adobe edge animate

    Hi all

    I need help with writing and reading cookies using the tip of adobe, is there a way to do I serached internet, but I found something simlliar?

    Thanks in advance

    To test with this plugin in a simple HTML page, you also need to include jQuery itself.

    For example:

    ...

    ...

    There are several different ways that you can load the jQuery.cookie plugin in your composition. Regardless of the method, I recommend loading compositionReady relaxation. It is the trigger that triggers once the composition is ready to play.

    This blog shows a way to load in external .js files:

    http://chrisgannon.WordPress.com/2012/09/01/loading-external-JavaScript-in-Adobe-edge-Anim ate-the-easy-medium.

    Here's how you would apply this method for the jQuery.cookie plugin:

    Enter a code similar to this:

    () yepnope
    {
    Nope:]
    ' / path/to/jquery.cookie.js'
    ],

    full: init
    }
    );

    function init() {}

    create initial values of your cookie here

    }

    Who is responsible in the jQuery.cookie plugin.

    It would be for you to create/manipulate data of the cookie as necessary for your needs. Most likely, you would do scroll down to a point in the script where you want the data editable or read, add a trigger, and then insert the necessary code.

  • Native SSH and SFTP in LabVIEW

    At the risk of re-opening a Pandora's box, there is no consideration to add native SSH and SFTP support for LabVIEW?

    Using PuTTY/plink is heavy and not multiplatform.

    Calling a .NET (or other) an external assembly is heavy and not multiplatform.

    Labwerx SSH has a license model terrible (not to mention the extra cost).

    It is the year 2015, and SSH/SFTP is ubiquitous and does not go far. These protocols must be present natively in LabVIEW.

    I saw this idea on the Exchange (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Native-SSH-and-SFTP-Support/idi-p/1141529), , but there is no movement in 5 years. I'd like to get news of NEITHER here, even in the negative. If LabVIEW does not take over SSH any time soon, it would be better to know now.

    I doubt that this is likely to happen any time soon - the LabSSH Toolbox is a fairly reasonable price when compared to how long it would take to implement the feature yourself and there is nothing for you prevent its implementation yourself using the TCP/IP functions located in LabVIEW. Of course, you can use the command line to something like WinSCP / PuTTy as well.

    I also found a wrapper that someone had done for an Open Source .NET SSH library called in-depth

    I downloaded a copy of this thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Plink-PuTTY-works-30-of-the-time-using-System-Exec-vi/td-p/3002261

  • I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    You get the error "a Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer could not be resolved" when the requesting computer (the computer 'demand' help) sends its private IP address instead of its public IP address in the request for assistance. The solution is 'easy' for some and difficult for others. I present here for your perusal:

    (1) obtain the public IP address of the requesting computer (by visiting a web page such as http://www.whatismyip.com)
    (2) save the remote assistance request computers
    (3) modify the remote request for Assistance (RcBuddy.MsRcIncident) using a text editor (such as notepad) and replace the private - section of IP address should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,192.168.1.33:3389 «»
    with the public IP address from whatismyip.com or elsewhere - should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,74.125.47.147:3389 «»
    (4) save the file of RcBuddy.MsRcIncident 'new '.
    (5) double click it to connect to the computer needing help
    (6) cross your fingers and hope it works!

  • Newbie wanting to AIR w / extensions to native code and the Protocol of Android accessory

    My interests include prototyping and very specific to very specific real-world applications of programming solutions.  So I bought a Playbook after viewing the quick "prototyping" video in this blog:

    http://devBlog.BlackBerry.com/2011/12/BlackBerry-PlayBook-Arduino/

    I tell myself I can do cela or something similar with PIC Basic Pro and a Microchip IC.  Although it has been nearly six months, from what I can tell, the RIM developers have failed to deliver on explaining how to use native code and the ancillary Protocol Android to connect in series on client's port to the mini-USB of the Playbook.

    Is RIM people please, show us how set up the programming environment, use the code, the mini-USB port on client Playbook, the adapter USB (where to buy, what is it exactly?), so we can use the USB client connected to an Integrated Circuit Programmable to connect in series with an AIR running on the Playbook application.

    Kenneth Mark Klausner

    How this kind of thing is that you have the hardware (Controller USB etc.), and there different registers, buffers, etc. that must be handled.  The first layer of software, what made this manipulation, is a device driver. While in some operating systems (Linux, for example), you can write yourself, or port code Besides, material in the PlayBook is accessible only by the drivers as part of the operating system, which means that the RIM should provide their.

    These drivers are may be incomplete. We do not know that for some.

    Drivers expose a particular interface to the next higher step of the software, an interface that must be respected. This interface is generally quite low, and the driver can support the features that cannot be exposed to third party software, so for this and probably other reasons, we can not directly access (and are prevented by security mechanisms).

    There is another layer of software on top of the pilot, commonly called a library. This library is also provided by RIM, as part of the operating system.

    This library can be incomplete as well. We do not know the details, but I suspect someone who knows this level of the design of the system and who attended the BB10 Bluetooth and USB discussion group would be able to interpret what they heard there to clarify.

    It's this library which provides what we call a bit of hand-wavingly API 'USB '. This is an interface in C language, with a set of data and calls structure function definitions that enable higher level code perform different operations related to USB.

    If you want to write a DONKEY, you write about this library, not the level of driver and not material. You have no choice in this matter, as it is applied by the security of the OS.

    So to sum up, if we refer to 'USB API' they're talking about essentially the library routines, and it is necessary to talk to this API to get whatever it is the case here.  The API can be described in the header files (there is something), or maybe he's going to be an API different than what I see out there. Whatever it is, it is undocumented in other places at the moment, so all who want to enter this need to make much low level experiment (talking to the library).

    They can have the documents which cover this and perhaps code samples to talk to the library. If the version of the operating system we have has the incomplete versions or buggy drivers or libraries, this could explain why they have not pushed this documentation and code for us.

    I think that I heard that they are gathering input (requirements, use cases, comments) from people in this session.  Who tells me that they are still working on some details, and when they are at a stage like that they simply don't tell us publicly where they are, deadlines, or what it will look like when it is done.

    And so expect.

  • To access the DOM properties added by another plugin script

    The IDML specification states the following: "If you add plug-ins that support scripting InDesign, objects, properties, enumerations, and methods may appear in the script object model, and new objects and properties may appear in the exported IDML. In addition, deletion or disabling plug-ins can modify the script and therefore object model, XML elements written in an IDML file. »

    So, is it then possible to access properties added by another plugin of your own ExtendScript when running? For example, if another plugin extends a character style to add their own attributes, could then read these properties in a script separate unconnected with this plugin? I can't get this to work. I can see the properties added when exporting to IDML, but I do not see them during an iteration on the DOM in Javascript?

    Hi szahnje,

    A plugin can expose its api to the scripting DOM, DOM idml or both. While the script DOM and DOM idml are closely related, they are not the same, then maybe the plugin does not expose the properties to the DOM, just the idml one script.

    If the plugin exposes a api for DOM scripting, then, of course you can use it. But, the plugin must be installed and enabled on the computer you run the script.

  • Passing the case tank to the plugin script

    Hello!

    My requirement is to pass the account ID and a characteristic value (setting ID) as an algorithmic input parameters, then to a Plugin script that will call a business service that will call a box query with two filter settings.

    I created a query box that takes two parameters of filter and created a Business Service to call this area.
    Also, I created a new script and a type of algorithm that references this script.

    Now, I am facing difficulties passing the values of the UI (account ID & Char val) from the screen case to the algorithm.

    Well can someone wanting to guide on how to transmit these values to the algorithm (and possibly to the area and business)?

    Thanks in advance

  • Creation of Plugin Script

    Hi friends,

    I want to create script plugin for the algorithm, can someone pls explain me doubts to fund this plugin

    1. in the Plugin Script how can I get the sweet summer (as in the service script we have schema contains variables (parms) local to get values of ui)
    2. How can we include new hard parameters in entity algorithm (should we place use = output)

    My Requirment is the plugin script must take accountid, return the Boolean value by validating the amount as contracted.
    I tested this requirment with a simple user interface and service script using the Bussiness Service. How can convert to the plugin script service script

    To create the script of the plugin I take Ratecomponet as algorithm entity.here how I can get accountid and how do I send a Boolean indicator accordingly.

    Thanks and greetings
    Jean Jacques

    Your needs are a bit confused when you say "quantity under contracted", are you referring to the contract quantity defined on the Service (if maintained) contract? OR as you mentioned into account, is the "contracted" amount set on the account as a feature?

    If the latter, then you don't need any algorithm or plug-in Script for the task, you can configure component of the eligibility rate - criteria as 'Features' field and specify the account as the characteristic entity and choose the characteristic type. In addition, use rate component eligibility - comparison criteria and specify the logical operator to compare the recovered "contract quantity" on the account. Alternatively, you can also configure a rule of SQ with SQ 'Characteristic value' type algorithm and recover the amount "under contracted' account. In this case you can then have component eligibility rate - criteria "Quantity of Service" field, select the IQSE set to the rule of the SQ and make the comparison.

    If the first case, you define a rule of SQ (also configured on the fee structure) to extract contract quantity of a specific type on the SA and assign it to the table of your choice SQ.

    In both cases, you have need of a plugin Script custom / algorithm (I guess that the component rate - place criteria or the entity field).

    However, if you want to define an algorithm for rate - field criteria entity component, you should keep following points in mind (taking into account your needs):
    -Account Id is not available in the scheme of the given script, although his Id is available, so you would need a Business Service to retrieve the ID SA account Id
    -After evaluation, you must return a Boolean value for the following parameters 'exit', true or false:

    parm/hard/isSingleCriteriaFieldValue
    parm/hard/singleCriteriaFieldValue
    parm/hard/isCriteriaFieldFound
    

    -Later, compare the Boolean value under the component of the eligibility rate - comparison criteria and establish the conditions 'So real' and 'So wrong' according to your needs.

I put both completely accept cookies, always I can't retrieve the cookie set by this small application from my hard drive, when I run the pages. Any help and ideas are appreciatted.

    The problem is in the Cookie set to page 2 header. It should be $_GET and not $_get. Dreamweaver uses the lowercase with the get method. The correct $_GET is displayed in blue letters on top of case, instead of black and lower case letters. It is a very slight difference, as PHP uses the method get lowercase.
