I'm facing some problems using VPN Web authentication:
We have a local protected network on which an https SVN server runs.
Accessing it locally within Eclipse makes no problems.
We have external people which have to access this SVN through Web VPN.
The problem is, this web VPN only works in the specific web browser context, and we are not able to connect eclipse directly through this VPN then.
Accessing the VPN through the browser works though (but no commit/versioning is possible).
Is there any workaround?
Problem has been resolved by activating the JSAM (Java secure application manager) on the WEB VPN. It activates the link between installed clients (external people) and specific IP Connections (allowed by gateway).

I am developing an application that needs to be delivered as following:
PWA application server(Host app/IIS) is installed in the local network
PWA should support offline
Domain SSL not possible on the server as it's not a domain
Un attended installation
No configuration should be forced on the client machine, to change chrome settings etc.
I have tried:
Running from VS, Only works on same machine by design
Published to IIS and tried, works ok on the same machine. Offline does not work on mobile
Self sign SSL is not helping, Offline does not work
One option I found is to host it on our server on the internet, after installation access data from intranet server. Not yet tried this.
Looks like it is impossible to deploy PWA as intranet application with self-sign SSL. Am I missing something ?
Is there a way to automate deployment of PWA with self-sign that supports offline working?
I am having some issues with sockets in UWP.
I'm trying to test some simple socket communications (stripped down version of the MSDN example) between a mobile and a desktop on the same LAN subnet. I am developing in a VM (on a separate desktop) and can deploy to the VM and mobile. In that case connections work fine.
When I create an app package and install it on the desktop, I cannot connect.
I have windows firewall on the desktop completely off. The VM is set to have a separate IP on the network. I have checked all IPs I'm using are correct.
I am getting the typical: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time
This is driving me crazy, if anyone has any helpful advice that would be much appreciated!
edit: To clarify the above.
My app has both both client and server roles (can connect to a listener, and is also listening itself).
App (on Mobile) --> App (on VM, deployed from VS) - this works fine, Mobile can connect to VM no problem.
App (on Mobile) --> App (on Desktop, installed from appx) - Mobile unable to connect to Desktop. Firewall on desktop disabled. Task Manager shows .exe listening on the correct port.
Thanks, Inci
Found a solution to this - it appears connections over LAN need to have the Internet(Client & Server) capability selected.
I am most certainly connecting over my local network (specifically 192.168.0.15 (mobile) to .21 (desktop). It seems that when deploying with VS the app doesn't need the Internet capability.
If there is a more 'correct' solution I'll amend this.
For develop purpose only I'm testing a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) client app locally on my Windows 10 Laptop, where a WebAPI service is running.
By default, WinRT apps cannot connect to localhost but Visual Studio locally deployed apps should, but I coudn't manage to succeed.
Then I've used Fiddler to check and eventually enable loopback ability for my UWP app and found that it was already enabled.
By accident I've discovered that only while Fiddler is running, my UWP app can connect to the WebAPI service.
I'd like to know why.
Fiddler is able to Allow your App to use the local network loopback.
Simply check your App and you can reach your WebService.
You will see if you uncheck your App, you won't reach your WebService again.
Visual Studio enables the local network loopback while debugging as well if you check the option in your Projects Debugging Properties. (Project -> Properties -> Debugging -> Allow local network loopback)
I am working on a project where we use a remote subversion server. The server uses the port 9090. I can access the server from my home PC. However, when I am in school, I don't have access probably due to the firewall used in here. So, I used a proxy server "Tor" and I managed to successfully connect to the server from the Tor browser.
Now Problem is how can I configure Eclipse to connect to the SVN server through the Tor proxy.
Thanks for your help.
You need http proxy for eclipse try FreeGate proxy (with wine if the operating system is Linux)
I have a web application which calls a third party web service to return data which is then populated to a gridview.
When I run it locally from the visual studio built in IIS, it works fine.
When I publish to our servers and try to repeat the same action, it times out. I have checked all possibilites...if it is running locally, what happens when it gets published to the server machine.
Is it possible that your production machines may have a more strict firewall configuration that is disallowing outbound connections? Or maybe only allowing connections to whitelisted IPs?
