Failed to get AppContainer info: Unable to enumerate AppContainer - fiddler

This issue came after #EricLaw explained me what was the problem when I could not receive a response back from my REST request.
Essentially the request was just returning blank, then I found out that if Fiddler was not running,
the application works just fine.
As Eric explains there are some security issues that I should consider when developing/debugging in Windows Server 2012.
I followed the instructions and installed the suggested utility but when I click in the AppContainer Loopback utility I get the following error: Failed to get AppContainer info: Unable to enumerate AppContainer, Is the windows Firewall Service started?
Of course, my Firewall Service is working just fine.
Additionally there is something I still don't understand, why my HTTP request works just fine whenever Fiddler is not running anyway?
Has anyone had this problem already?
PS: we need a new tag called fiddler4

I know it is a bit late to bring this up, but since I had a fix I though it might be helpful to others, too.
I used the utility described here and although it did not fix the issue for me, it had a glowing hint, the Windows Firewall.
What fixed the issue for me was starting Windows Firewall service, which I had disabled previously.
Hope this might help.

ArcGIS Portal inaccessible externally on AWS esri instance

I've been installing our very own ArcGIS Enterprise instance on AWS.
The instance I chose is ArcGIS Enterprise on Ubuntu.
It is important to mention that this installation was conducted without using Cloudbuilder. I know it is a tool that automates the process but I was introduced to it only after I have already started to attack my current instance problems head-on. So, please don't advise me to restart the whole process from scratch using it.
The current status of my instance is that my ArcGIS Server is working. I can access it, upload services and we have already started using it in out Staging environment.
I have authorized all of the software on the server and verified it is licensed. The Portal for ArcGIS is my main problem.
Whenever I try to access it externally(from my office computer) it seems to redirect to the internal IP for some reason, and then times out on that request.
for example typing(from my browser):
https://[dns address]:7443/arcgis/home
redirects to:
https://[internal IP]:7443/arcgis/home
and this times out. (...took too long to respond error)
The funny thing is I can access the portaladmin area.
it's only the portal itself which doesn't work.
Also, another curious thing is that if I type without using the ports, I can access a window but exceptions are thrown in the browser.
For example:
https://[dns address]/arcgis
This will lead to a window where the ArcGIS world icon can be seen but nothing else loads and there are exceptions for "resource not found" 404 on some of the components of this page.
Any ideas? What further information should I include to answer this question?
I've looked everywhere but Esri's documentation is not very forthcoming with examples and information to understand what it is I did wrong.
Also, I don't think this is a ArcGIS software issue. It looks like this might be a proxy issue. Anyone else experienced something like this?
Thanks!
I found the solution.
It was a combination of two problems:
Tomcat that was running the web adaptor service was crashing because of an entirely different and unrelated issue.
The Portal was missing a web adaptor configuration and therefore did not have the WebContext property set with the web adaptor URL.
After fixing both of these problems, I was able to access the portal correctly.

Presence insights server results in an initialization error

The presence insight server on bluemix has been quite unstable now. Cannot get access to the server.
Is there any way to deploy the instance on softlayer server for production?
There were definitely some problems with PI last evening, but the team worked until early this morning to get them resolved. It looks like the system is back up and functioning. Are you still seeing the issue?
Also, as a general reference, this page has service status details on it that may be of help if you notice a problem.

Single Sign On service hangs when configuring it

I am trying to create and configure the Bluemix Single Sign On service and I am facing issues.
I create it unbound of any app, and when trying to setup it on the first dialog (provide a service name which will be part of its URL) it gets hanged. The browser is unresponsive for 1 minute or so and finally it fails with error message: "env: Client internal Error"
I am facing the same issue with Firefox 38.0.5, Chrome 43.0.2357.81m and IE 11.0.9600.17801
Any suggestion? Searching the forums I found as recommendation to clean browser cache and cookies. I already did it with no success.
EDITED: In parallel, I added as manager and developer another colleague to my Bluemix Space and it worked fine to him. So it seems it fails with my user which also is manager and developer but it exists in other spaces, etc...
Any thing I can check to narrow the issue?
Thanks!
on yesterday there have been a maintenance/upgrade activity so probably it your problem could be related to this.
Could you check again if it is working right now?

ColdFusion 10 Can't Verify Exchange 2010 Mail Server

So I've been running CF9 on Linux for a while and using CFMail to send email through a client's Exchange 2010 server for quite a while.
We're attempting to migrate to CF10 on Win2008, IIS7.5. Everything is set and ready to go except I can't get CF10 to verify the mail connection? I've got both mail settings (CF9 and CF10) set the exact same way and can view them open side by side and verify they're identical. However, while the CF9 verifies successfully the CF10 system fails??
I tried sending through CFMail tags while specifying the server credentials and see this in the CF10 log:
"javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: No authentication mechansims supported by both server and client"
What does this mean? I know my authentication credentials are correct because I'm able to connect in CF9.
I've turned off all firewalls and still nothing. So, I then tried installing CF10 on my Mac laptop. It, too, will not verify the mail connection!
Is there a known problem with CF10 connecting to an Exchange mail server?
Any ideas?
I "solved" this.
I could find little online and received no comments to this thread. No combination of settings I tried would work and I have no access to the client's mail server. The person who runs that server couldn't run a lemonade stand so no help there.
Then I stumbled across this page. Nothing to do with ColdFusion but seemed like a similar issue.
Recent changes in the JavaMail API has changed certain authentication
defaults and sometimes will create an authentication error with some
Exchange Server environments dependent on the configuration.
I'd never put much thought into CFMail because it was always drop dead simple and simply worked. Focusing on this link's Resolution 2 (ie replace the mail.jar with an older version). I wondered if CF used JavaMail and if I could downgrade CFMail? I cracked open CF's mail.jar file and found that CFMail does, indeed, use the JavaMail API. So, I then checked the ColdFusion docs to see if any new features were added to CFMail between CF9 and CF10. None.
So, I swapped out the mail.jar file from my CF9 install to CF10 and restarted. Boom! Everything worked immediately. As far as I can tell I've had no compatibility issues to report.
Swapping the mail.jar did not work for me. However, adding the following to JVM arguments
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
worked for me. Please refer to the following article

General failure. Please try again. Server may be unavailable (2013)

So today, whenever I try to sign My Blackberry app using the WebWorks packager, I get this error...
"General failure. Please try again. Server may be unavailable".
My proxy settings have not changed and I have been using the same command line instruction with success before.
I've also checked the status of the Blackberry signing server using the following link...
http://isthesigningserverdown.com/chart/index.php?sigType=RBB or RCR or RRT
And everything appears to be online!
So, where could I be going wrong? Here's the command line instruction I've been using. First, I navigate to my Blackberry build folder and run the following instruction against it...
bbwp appname.zip –g <password> –o z:\projects\appname\signed
It goes through through parsing the various elements. The signing tool pops up and then the error is generated.
So, after a couple of days of banging my head against the wall-the answer finally came to me. I'm on a MAC but am also using a Windows virtual machine for Blackberry developement, which is running on another network altogether and this specific network is using a firewall, which, according to the network administrator, is currently experiencing a severe technical problem.
The way round it was to sign my Blackberry app using configured proxy settings to communicate with the signing server and viola! It worked!
