Can I consider ImapClient.ServerCertificateValidationCallback and ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback same? I mean same object (on behind scenes).
In my scenario, I have to collect URLs/values from message body and store in DB, these URLs are WebServices address, values are parameters to be used with WebService.
With all data collected, have to get response from WebServices
For email I HAVE to set ImapClient.ServerCertificateValidationCallback to accept any certificate.
On the other hand for some WebServices I can't bypass certificate validation, so ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback should not be set.
Right now, I'm setting and unsetting each like
????.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = Function(s, c, h, k) True
...do whatetever I need....
????.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = nothing
This seems fine if working in sequence (Mail then WebService).
But what will happen if one user start to check mails and another user start to check URLs? Is there any chance one setting interfere on another?
MailKit will use the callback that you assign to the ImapClient if non-null, and only fall back to ServicePointManager's callback if none is set on the ImapClient itself.

I have a need to pass data from one system to another, during SSO using PingFederate.
Currently my link looks like this:
https://pingfederate.myexample.org/startSSO.ping?TargetResource=https%3A%2F%2Fwebapp.othercompany.org%3FkeepParam%3DkeepThisOnURLparamOne%3DvalueOne%26paramTwo%3DvalueTwo
TargetResource, decoded, looks like this:
https://webapp.othercompany.org?
keepParam=keepThisOnURL
¶mOne=valueOne
¶mTwo=valueTwo
After pingfederate processes the request, it ends up making a post to othercompany, copying the entire TargetResource into RelayState, params and all:
POST https://sso.othercompany.org
SAMLResponse: {paramOne: valueOne; paramTwo: valueTwo} //(in actual saml format)
RelayState: https://webapp.othercompany.org?keepParam=keepThisOnURL¶mOne=valueOne¶mTwo=valueTwo
My goal is to pass paramOne and paramTwo into SAML attributes somehow, but NOT carry those params over onto RelayState, keeping only keepParam=keepThisOnURL:
POST https://sso.othercompany.org
SAMLResponse: {paramOne: valueOne; paramTwo: valueTwo} //(in actual saml format)
RelayState: https://webapp.othercompany.org?keepParam=keepThisOnURL
Is this possible to do with PingFederate?
E.g., is there any other way to pass data into startSSO.ping from a browser request besides sneaking them into TargetResource?
Or if they can only be appended to TargetResource, can the value be modified (strip off most params) before copying into RelayState?
The reason that the parameters were tacked into the Relay State is because you URLEncoded them, So PingFed thought they were just part of the TargetResource.
Instead, you would do something like this:
https://pingfederate.myexample.org/idp/startSSO.ping?
paramOne=valueOne&
paramTwo=valueTwo&
TargetResource=https%3A%2F%2Fwebapp.othercompany.org%3FkeepParam%3DkeepThisOnURL
I should point out two things, the first being a showstopper:
fulfilling attributes via parameters passed in the startSSO.ping calls is not supported and won't work properly until at least one of two current feature requests are fulfilled, PPQ-1141 and PPQ-2815. Neither of these are currently scheduled (low request volume) in the development trains, so if this is critical to your work, get in touch with your Ping account executive to have your needs communicated.
I should point out that this overall methodology probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense from an operational standpoint, simply because it means that you will be dependent on an IdP initiated transaction because you have no way of fulfilling this with an SP-initiated transaction.
Based on those, I would recommend trying to architect another solution by which you could set those attributes, which I recognize may be difficult - especially if they are only derived at runtime, rather than via query to a datastore.
I am looking into the Swift Vapor framework.
I am trying to create a controller class that maps data obtained on an SSL link to a third party system (an Asterisk PBX server..) into a response body that is sent over some time down to the client.
So I need to send received text lines (obtained separately on the SSL connection) as they get in, without waiting for a 'complete response' to be constructed.
Seeing this example:
return Response(status: .ok) { chunker in
for name in ["joe\n", "pam\n", "cheryl\n"] {
sleep(1)
try chunker.send(name)
}
try chunker.close()
}
I thought it might be the way to go.
But what I see connecting to the Vapor server is that the REST call waits for the loop to complete, before the three lines are received as result.
How can I obtain to have try chunker.send(name) send it's characters back the client without first waiting for the loop to complete?
In the real code the controller method can potentially keep an HTTP connection to the client open for a long time, sending Asterisk activity data to the client as soon as it is obtained. So each .send(name) should actually pass immediately data to the client, not waiting for the final .close() call.
Adding a try chunker.flush() did not produce any better result..
HTTP requests aren't really designed to work like that. Different browsers and clients will function differently depending on their implementations.
For instance, if you connect with telnet to the chunker example you pasted, you will see the data is sent every second. But Safari on the other hand will wait for the entire response before displaying.
If you want to send chunked data like this reliably, you should use a protocol like WebSockets that is designed for it.
When I mark the message in this way
I use the method
var uids= folder.Search(SearchQuery.DeliveredAfter(DateTime.Parse("2016-9-29")).And(SearchQuery.Flagged));
cannot get the flagged mail,
but when I use methodfolder.AddFlags(new UniqueId(1693), MessageFlags.Flagged, false);
folder.Expunge();
the mail will be flagged and When I use the method
var uids= folder.Search(SearchQuery.DeliveredAfter(DateTime.Parse("2016-9-29")).And(SearchQuery.Flagged));
I can get the flagged mail,I don't know why, and how can I get the flagged mail?
You are conflating 2 different ways of "flagging" a message. Outlook does not set the MessageFlags.Flagged flag, that's why Search() does not find it.
Most likely Outlook either does not store anything on the IMAP server at all (and that state is stored locally in the .pst file) -or- it stores a custom UserFlags string on the IMAP server that you will need to figure out.
If you know of a particular message on your IMAP server that has this custom flag, you can use the Fetch() method with MessageSummaryItems.Flags to request what flags are set. Then, you can examine the item.UserFlags and hope that you find what you are looking for.
I need your help with the gwt requestfactory
considering following scenario:
I get an existing entity (let's say a invoice) from the server:
InvoiceEntityProxy invoice = request1.getInvoice();
I want to make some changes, so I edit it with a new request:
InvoiceEntityProxy editableInvoice = request2.edit(invoice);
//make some changes to editableInvoice
Now I send the changes made with the second request to the server, to create a preview:
request2.createPreview(editableInvoice);
When the request is sent, the invoice proxy is frozen and I re-enable editing by assigning the proxy to a new request:
editableInvoice = request3.edit(editableInvoice);
If everything is okay, i want to update the proxy and send it to the server, using the latest request:
request3.update(editableInvoice);
But the changes never arrive on the server, because the latest request (request3) doesn't know anything about the changes made to the proxy assigned to the request2.
I thought about following solutions:
I could redo the changes on the latest proxy. But for that, I've to iterate over all attributes and set them again (not very friendly solution, because I've to adjust the method each time I add some attributes to the proxy)
Another approach would be to send the proyx without an id to the server and send the id as second parameter of the update-method. But this would be a shame, because not only the deltas would be sent to the server (which is one of the greate features of the requestFactory).
So what is the best and most common practice to let the request3 know about the changes already made to the proxy, when it was assigned to another request.
You simply forget to call fire(). Example
request2.createPreview(editableInvoice).fire();
Bear in mind that if the following request depend on the result of the previous one, you should put your code in the OnSuccess methode because the request is asynchronous
It's also possible to append multiple requests
EDIT
It important to use the same request for the edit and fire operations. So replace this line
request.update(editableInvoice);
with
request3.update(editableInvoice);
Nice! I found the solution for my problem.
I still have an instance of the original proxy, because the edit() method of the context always return a new instance of the proxy. So I save the original proxy before sending any request.
After each successful request, I re-enable editing the proxy by call the edit method again:
editableInvoice = request3.edit(editableInvoice);
Now the crux:
I can set the original proxy of a proxy, which is used to consider if it changed and what changed. This is done by using AutoBean and set the PARENT_OBJECT Tag like this:
AutoBean<InvoiceEntityProxy> editableInvoiceBean = AutoBeanUtils.getAutoBean(editableInvoice);
AutoBean<InvoiceEntityProxy> originalInvoiceBean = AutoBeanUtils.getAutoBean(originalInvoice);
editableInvoiceBean.setTag(Constants.PARENT_OBJECT, originalInvoiceBean);
On the next request all changed properties are send to the server again.
Thank you for your help and thank you for the hint with the AutoBean #Zied Hamdi
You also can use AutoBeans to duplicate the object before you start changing it. You can keep the original one untouched then request.edit() it and apply changes (introspection like changes) from the "dirty" object.
You'll maybe have to do some research on how to handle EntityProxies since they are "special AutoBeans" : I had to use special utility objects to serialize them to json (available in GWT). So there might be some special handling in doing a deep copy too.
There is an issue maybe with GWT keeping only one version of each EntityProxy (I never checked if it is global or only in the context of a request)
We are having issues with our mail server which have highlighted a weakness in a system that I set up a couple of years ago to email departments on completion of reports.
The code that currently sets up the mail server is hardcoded as
Set objNotesMailFile = objNotesSession.GETDATABASE("XXX-BASE-MAIL-04/CompanyName", dbString)
The problem we're having is that the 04 server is flaky at best at the moment and everyone is being routed through one of the replication servers when it falls over. Not too much of a problem for the desktop Notes clients as they handle this, but the application is simply failing to get any mail out, and is doing so without giving any failure notifications.
Is there a way I can test for the presence of an available database on the main server, and if not, fall back on one of the replication servers?
The NotesDatabase object has a property "IsOpen" - boolean - which can be used to check if a database was successfully opened, after a call to notesSession.getDatabase. So, you could do something like the following:
Set objNotesMailFile = objNotesSession.GETDATABASE("XXX-BASE-MAIL-04/CompanyName", dbString)
if not (objNotesMailFile.IsOpen) then
' try next server
...
end if
EDIT: Just for completeness... There is also an optional third argument you can pass to the GetDatabase method - a boolean - which specifies whether to return a valid object when the database (or server) cannot be opened, or to return a value of NOTHING. Specifying the 3rd argument as FALSE will return NOTHING, which you can check for. Same result, in the end.
You probably want to use something like this:
Dim db As New NotesDatabase( "", "" )
Call db.OpenWithFailover( "XXX-BASE-MAIL-04/CompanyName", dbString )
If the database can't be opened on the specific server but the server belongs to a cluster, OpenWithFailover automatically looks for a replica of the specified server on the same cluster. If the method finds a replica, that database is opened instead, and the server property adjusts accordingly.
