vpn ibm-cloud MotionPro Client on Windows 10 not allowing addition of profiles - ibm-cloud

I am following steps to create a VPN, for accessing IBM Cloud, by using standalone client. Instructions are here,
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iaas-vpn?topic=iaas-vpn-standalone-vpn-clients
It states "Run the MotionPro Setup Wizard. Then, click the MotionPro icon on your desktop and select Profile > Add."
The installation ran fine - seemingly. I have a red A in my task tray and the Secure Tunnel is connected.
However, the Motion Pro window doesn't have any means for interaction - there are no menus - nothing...see screen grab.
I also don't have any MotionPro desktop on my desktop.

So - MotionPro seems to have installed..but I still have to go thru the browser based logon process...so it's not really doing anything for me.
What am I missing?

Couldn't figure out a way to create a profile using the MotionPro Client provided by IBMCloud.
Eventually found a download link to install myself...
https://support.arraynetworks.net/prx/001/http/supportportal.arraynetworks.net/downloads/downloads.html
I downloaded "Windows MotionPro client 32bit / 64bit"
After running the install, I then had a client executable that displayed a User Interface more like that which I expected and aligned to the steps in the IBMCloud documentation.
Created the profile - and can now quickly establish a VPN.

Mirth NextGen Connect desktop upper bar menu Server Manger links to wrong install of the Admin UI?

Having problem where the Mirth Connect Server Manager UI points to an earlier, non-working install version of the Admin interface.
Installed Mirth once and had to reinstall because the original install had set the password requirements to something that the default admin account could not pass. When I did this, the installer said that it detected that Mirth was already installed and asked if I wanted to re-install and I said yes. However, the Admin UI that the Mirth Connect Server Manager windows that remains in the upper menu bar of my desktop still appears to be using the old install with the password issue.
The Mirth Connect Server Manager icon in the upper menu bar takes me to wrong setup. Can't log in from the Admin UI that this bring up (told can't authenticate or connect (which was the problem I had with the earlier install)).
Need to use the Program from here
and make sure that I chose the right one, then I am able to use the default admin account to log in and proceed as normal.
Anyone know how to fix this (eg. somewhere in the underlying files where I can change this)? Anything else I should check that may be messed up due to this problem that I may not be noticing? I am on Ubuntu 18.04.4LTS MATE.
In the installation folder\conf\mirth.properties file, change the HTTP and HTTPS ports to values different from the prior one. Get to your browser type localaddress:new_http port then click on the icon -launch Mirth Connect administrator. Clicking the saved shortcut will launch an admin launcher which will allow you to edit and save the functional instance.

How do I enable Failed Request Tracing in IIS 10.0 on Windows 10 development PC?

How to I enable Failed Request Tracing in IIS 10.0 on my Windows 10 dev pc?
I can find instructions for IIS7 and IIS8.5 (see http://www.iis.net/learn/troubleshoot/using-failed-request-tracing/troubleshooting-failed-requests-using-tracing-in-iis-85) but doesn't seem to be available in IIS10.
According to above instructions there should be a link to "Failed Request Tracing" under "Configure" in the Actions pane - but see in screen shot it is clearly not there:
screen shot of IIS Actions pane
The instructions should work exactly the same since the UI has not changed. Make sure that you install Failed Request Tracing, for that run
OptionalFeatures.exe and make sure that Tracing is enabled in the Internet Information Services->World Wide Web Services->Health and Diagnostics.
You can also add this feature by going to Start -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> Health and Diagnostics.
You can enable the tracing feature using this PowerShell command (Running as Administrator)

Authorisation failure Connecting to TFS from Eclipse in Ubuntu

I am using Eclipse Juno (Linux) and added TFS plug-in for Eclipse. Server URL https://******ftware.visualstudio.com and added username and password. This is my Microsoft Live ID which got access to Visual Studio online, but it gives an error message Authorization failure connecting to https://******ftware.visualstudio.com using this username and password.
Username and password works well when connecting from browser. Not sure what is going on.
This plug-in works well on a Windows machine.
You may need to use the "alternate credentials" that does not rely on an MSA (Live ID). In the web access you can click on your name in the top right. There should be a settings drop down that lets you enable and set the alternate credentials for Linux.

GWT - DevMode: 'gwt.google.com not found' - 'Cannot display web page'

really need some help.
I have been working for the past 3 days trying to get a webpage to open when I run my web based Java-GWT-eclipse program. IE gives me error "Internet Explorer cannot display webpage" and chrome says "The webpage is not available- The server at gwt.google.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed."
I have tried this project on multiple other computers with an older eclipse-gwt plugin installed and it works great. All of these computers are dev boxes and do not have internet access. It does, however, have a solid connection to the database (SQL dev works fine).
what i have tried
copied eclipse and gwt plugin files from another dev box and installed. Gave me above error.
deleted/ uninstalled everything and installed newest version eclipse and gwt plugin. I was able to install gwt in eclipse but it could not locate GWT-user.jar file and would not allow me to create project.
Tried #2 again, same problem. Tried again on another computer, same problem.
Applied older version SDK to newer eclipse version. Gave same error as posted above/ #1.
ran wireshark on a working dev and the problem dev and the problem dev box was trying to communicate with google while the good one was going to some local IP address.
messed around with every setting in eclipse and nothing has worked.
What is left to try??? I am going insane.
What is the web page you are trying to open: http://gwt.google.com ?
Does this page load if you write the url directly in the address box of your browser ?
Does Internet work in that computer? try to access google or any other page.
This error is a clear case of a miss-configuration on your PC internet stack:
The server at gwt.google.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed.
What does return this command in your console?
nslookup gwt.google.com
EDITED:
After reading your comments I figure out what is happening: your browser has not the gwt-plugin installed, so the first time it connects to a gwt-dev-mode app, the app redirects it to the gwt site to download the plugin and install it.
You have either, connect this computer to the internet to install the plugin the first time it is requested, or download the plugin and install it manually.

How do I eliminate the credential requirements on my development machine

I've got SQL Server 2008 with SSIS/SSRS installed on my development box. I followed through the installation notes and everything appeared to install just fine - no errors or anything. I've got it configured using all the defaults for now until I figure out what is what. So the server can be accessed via http://localhost:80/ReportServer and the reports via http://locahost:80/Reports.
I've created a dummy report against the AdventureWorks database to test report creation and deployment and after some initial headaches which were resolved by running BIDS as an administrator, I'm having problems accessing the reports via the web interface and indeed, I'm having the same issue accessing the report server via the web interface.
When I open the URLs in any browser - IE/Firefox/Chrome they all prompt me for credentials. My dev box isn't part of a domain and the credentials I use to log into the machine don't appear to be what it is after as they don't connect successfully. I don't really understand why it's asking for credentials at all due to the fact that the address is an intranet address. In either case, IE is configured to pass through my Windows credentials when logging into machines on the intranet.
Did I configure something incorrectly when I set it up? Does anyone have any decent tutorials for not only installing SSRS, but configuration for development machines.
Try opening your browser with elevated (Administrator) privelages. Did that help?
