The links in the Bluemix confirmation email do not work - ibm-cloud

I signed up for the Bluemix trial, received the confirmation email, but both links in the email end up at this URL: https://idaas.ng.bluemix.net/idaas/public/tamlogin.jsp which never responds. Eventually the browser timesout with this message: The server at www-947.ibm.com is taking too long to respond.
This has been consistent for the past 2 weeks. Anyone seen this and know what the problem might be?

Can you please try to access Bluemix without VPN connection? I believe your issue is related to VPN client. If connecting to Bluemix without VPN works, please upgrade your VPN client to latest version and try to connect to Bluemix with VPN connection.

Signing in of registered users on ejabberd server from Conversations client app is not working

I have an ejabberd server running on Amazon EC2. I added users from the web admin console and then I tried to log in from Conversations app using the JID as my-name#ec2-3-142-252-179.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com and using the password assigned during registration. But it keeps on saying "server not found". Please tell me where I am doing wrong. Thank you.
Here is the screenshot of web admin console
Sign in page
I never used Amazon EC2, so I will only give you some wild ideas. Also, I don't have Conversations in English, so my translation may not be exactly like what you see:
A) In that same window, click in ... -> Preferences -> Experts Configuration -> Extended connection configuration: enable that option. Now you get another two fields, so you can tell there Conversations exacly the host (or the IP address) and port of ejabberd. Maybe adding it here helps?
B) When you attempt the connection in Conversations, do you get anything relevant in ejabberd.log or similar? I guess no
C) You can access ejabberd webadmin from your PC, but you can't from your Android phone. Just for curiosity, can you access the ejabberd webadmin from your mobile?
D) You can install some desktop Jabber client, like Gajim, Psi,... in your PC. Do those eclients connect to ejabberd, or faiol like Conversations?

Issue accessing Node-Red from IBM Cloud

I started using Node-Red from IBM Bluemix. I successfully created the Node-Red Starter plan and started working with Node-Red. After about a week of using my browser started responding with
This site can’t provide a secure connection mybluemixapp.us-south.cf.appdomain.cloud sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
I can access the URL from my companies network and the connection is secure. I have done a bit of googling and tried the solution post here
but no luck. Any ideas?

using `Gmail SMTP` to send `mail` from my web application. But getting Authentication error

using Gmail SMTP to send mail from my web-application which is Deployed in heroku But getting Authentication error.
I'm receiving a mail from Google saying that:
Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your Google
Account **********#gmail.com, using an application such as an email
client or mobile device.
Details:
Thursday, April 20, 2017 5:35 AM (ET)
Ashburn, VA, USA*
Google stopped this sign-in attempt, but you should review your recently used devices:
I tried all these below:
1)I have reviewed the recent login and said that was me but still google is not allowing me to login.
2)Turning ON access for less secure apps.
Sending mail Code is working fine in my local system, But After deploy it is not working.
can anyone tell me that how I can make my web-application which is deployed in Heroku server which is running from location -Ashburn,VA, USA* to be approved to get login into my gmail.
Thank you in advance :-)
I had the same problem as you - I am also using a gmail account to send SMTP mail via a heroku account. Try logging in to your gmail account and then logging out, and then back in. You can also try this further authentication mechanism at : https://accounts.google.com/displayunlockcaptcha.
In my case, it took a little while (some anxious wait time?) after doing this before I was able to send SMTP mail.
You might also want to consider if you haven't already using one dedicated gmail account for SMTP mail.

One website on IIS server cannot connect to SMTP host - how to track what happened

I have an ASP website on an IIS server, yesterday I noticed that this certain website was unable to send out any emails as Dynumail (something we use for SMTP emails in code) could not connect to the SMTP host.
This issue was only happening with this website and not any of the others on the same server that also use Dynumail.
Is there a way to track how this might have happened? To resolve the issue I restarted the website through the IIS GUI.
Any help on tracking down (and preventing) this issue would be greatly appreciated!
