Could an isolated Horizon interface be modified (or plugin developed) to support copy/paste to a server considering only nova-novncproxy is configured?
I am using an older version of Horizon provided by my public IaaS Openstack that does not allow me to copy/paste into the console.
I would like to consider hosting the latest Horizon connecting to my tenancy via API only. (no public Admin)
nova get-spice-console <server> spice-html5
ERROR (ClientException): Unknown Error (HTTP 500) -Indicates that Spice in not configured
nova get-vnc-console <server> "xvpvnc"
returns a loopback (incorrectly configured)
I have control of the VMs, but not the Openstack infrastructure
SPICE is required on the Openstack Installation to enable copy/paste
nova get-spice-console <server>
Without SPICE, a html5 ssh gateway with an SSO solution might provide a solution to integration within Openstack Dashboard

I noticed that in Devstack (deloyment with default configuration from the quickstart guide), Neutron is the only one API not exposed within HTTPD using a WSGI frontend.
So, in the OpenStack catalog, the referenced URL is the one directly exposed by neutron-server.
What is the reason behind that ? Is there a way in Devstack to enable it ?
I found configuration flags in the Devstack documentation to enable/disable WSGI for other OpenStack services but nothing about Neutron.
We do have one server [Windows Server 2016] and i want to monitor that server, by installing Wazuh Tool.
I saw the documentation, but still i am getting confused. Should i need to install,
Wazuh Server
Wazuh Agent
Kibana
in server.? I don't see any article related to installing Wazuh Server in Windows Machine.
After following up the wazuh documentation, i can able to go up to a certain limit.
Installed Virtual Box in Windows Server.
Downloaded Wazuh OVA file and imported the same into virtual box.
Now i can able to connect to Wazuh Server, using the default credentials.
Now i stuck up at one place. I need to get the IP. I tried with 'Ip addr' command. But still, it is showing 127.0.0.1/8
As far as i checked, it is creating some dynamic IP's. Is there a way to setup Static IP. So that, i can able to access Wazuh Web console
through that IP.
Some of my findings:
It seems that the eth0 network interface for the VM does not have an IPv4 address assigned to it.
In the video in the documentation when running 'ip addr' it shows a dynamic IPv4 address as well as the IPv6 address so I suspect that this is the reason you cannot access the web console. This could be caused by the type of network interface you created for the VM in virtual box.
-------- Edited----------
As per your guidence, i did the following things.
Wazuh Server:
Virtual Box -> Adapter 1 -> Bridged Adapter
Virtual Box -> Adapter 2 -> Host-only Adapter
Started the Virtual Box and checked the 'Ip addr' command. Got the following IP's, eth0 [192.168..] and eth1 [10.0..]
In browser, i tried https://192.168.. and i can able to login to kibana.
Wazuh Agent:
The server which ever i am going to monitor, i installed Wazuh Agent. In the Wazuh Config file, i need to specify
Here i am bit confused. Should i need to give the actual server IP [where the wazuh server is] or i need to specify the IP's which i am getting in 'Ip Addr' command.?
I have tried all the IP's. When i check the Logs, it is showing like,
start_agent.c:100 at connect_server(): ERROR: (1216): Unable to connect to 'xx.xx.xx.xxx': 'Bad file descriptor'.
I recommend you reading the Architecture guide for a better understanding of how Wazuh works. Its architecture is based on agents, which means you need to install Wazuh agent on those endpoints you want to monitor (for example, your Windows server), and then connect these agents to a Wazuh Manager server (which need to be installed in a Linux machine, so you will need another server).
Kibana/Splunk are optional and useful tools to index the data generated by the manager for better visualization. I recommend using Kibana and the Elasticsearch Stack.
For the Linux Wazuh Manager server I recommend trying the all in one deployment, or, if you will have few agents connected and doesn't want to deploy any instance from scratch, you could try the pre-built Virtual Machine appliance (OVA)
I hope this helps you. The best point to start using Wazuh is the Getting started guide. I recommend you read that first of all.
------------------------ edit --------------------
Hello,
I'm sorry if I weren't clear enough. Wazuh has two main components: Manager (server in the documentation) and Agent.
The manager is also called a server because it serves the Wazuh service itself. That means the part of Wazuh that analyzes security events and generates alerts.
But Wazuh agent (despite its name) is also installed on servers that you want to monitorize and it is used to send security events to the Wazuh Manager (server) so they could be analyzed.
That said, if you want to correctly monitorize a Windows server you need to install the Wazuh Windows agent on it because it is designed to monitorize Windows servers. And you need to connect this agent to a Wazuh server. Here, you have different options:
You could install the Wazuh Manager in another (Linux) server.
You could install docker and docker-compose on your Windows server and use the wazuh-docker GitHub repository to deploy a Wazuh manager stack (with Wazuh, Elasticsearch and Kibana) to connect you, agent, to.
You could install the Wazuh OVA (VM appliance) on Virtualbox or similar software (this Virtual machine has installed by default Wazuh Manager, Elasticsearch and Kibana as well).
I see that you're trying with the 4th, deploying the Wazuh OVA on Virtualbox. Nevertheless, remember that you must have to install the Windows agent as well and connect it to the Wazuh Manager.
Regarding the IP question. My advice here is to enter the VirtualBox configuration for the machine and set up two network interfaces (or adapters). One host-only adapter (which will have a static IP that you could use to connect from your local browser) and other with a bridged adapter (to connect to the internet). Then, I recommend using nmtui (a console user interface for network manager) to set up your static IP as in the attached capture. That should be enough.
I am trying to add DataPower 7.7 into API Management 2018.1.
I need to configure API Connect Gateway Service in DataPower (new APIC 2018.1 doesn't work with XML Management Service).
After configuration I got an error:
8:07:19 mgmt notice 959 0x00350015 apic-gw-service (default):
Operational state down
8:07:19 apic-gw-service error 959 0x88e00001 apic-gw-service
(default): Unexpected queue error: Domain check failed! Please ensure that
the 'default' domain exists and is enabled. Also, please verify that the API
Gateway Service is configured with the correct domain and SOMA credentials.
8:07:19 apic-gw-service error 959 0x88e000a0 apic-gw-service
(default): Failed to initialize gateway environment: datapower
DP version is 7.7.
Please suggest, if you have any information or manuals.
Note: Domain exists, main services are enabled
It's hard to tell what exactly the problem is based on the log messages shown above.
Update to original answer:
See also the documentation that is now available in the IBM API Connect Knowledge Center: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMNED_2018/com.ibm.apic.install.doc/tapic_install_datapower_gateway.html
However, here are the basic steps for configuring a DataPower gateway to work with API Connect 2018.x.
You will need to ensure:
DataPower is running DP 7.7.0.0 or higher.
You have the AppOpt license installed. (Use the “show license” command in the DataPower CLI to confirm.)
You have a shared certificate and a private key for securing the
communication between the API Connect management server and the
gateway.
On DataPower, you need to:
Create an application domain. All of the subsequent configuration should be done in the application domain.
Enable statistics
Upload your private key and shared certificate to the cert:// directory in the application domain.
Create a crypto key object, a crypto certificate and a crypto identification credentials object using your key and certificate.
Create an SSL client profile and an SSL server profile that reference the crypto identification credential object.
Configure a gateway-peering object.
Configure and enable the API Connect Gateway Service in the application domain.
At that point, you should be able to configure the gateway in the API Connect cloud manager.
Here are the DataPower CLI commands to create a basic configuration. In the configuration below, IP address 1.1.1.1 represents a local IP address on your DataPower appliance. Traffic from the API Connect management server to the gateway will be sent to port 3000. API requests will go to port 9443 (but you can change it to the more standard port, 443, if you prefer.)
For a production environment, you will want to build on this configuration to ensure you are running with at least 3 gateways in the peer group, but this will get you started.
Create the application domain called apiconnect
top; configure terminal;
domain apiconnect; visible default; exit;
write mem
Use the Web GUI to upload your private key and shared certificate to the cert:// folder in the apiconnect domain
Then run these commands to create the configuration in the apiconnect domain
switch apiconnect
statistics
crypto
key gw_to_apic cert:///your-privkey.cer
certificate gw_to_apic cert:///your-sscert.cer
idcred gw_to_apic gw_to_apic gw_to_apic

The problem you are seeing is an issue with creating your api connect service in the default domain. To work around just put your Api Gateway Service in a domain other than default.
How can we configure OpenStack to use and dynamically update remote Bind DNS Server.
This is not currently supported. There is a DNS driver layer, but the only driver at the moment is for LDAP backed PowerDNS. I have code for dynamic DNS updates (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/25194/), but have had trouble getting it landed because we need to fix eventlet monkey patching first.
So, its in progress, but you probably wont see it until Havana is released.
OpenStack relies on dnsmasq internally.
I am not aware of any way integrate an external bind server. Or plans to do that. Or even a reason to do that.
Check out Designate (https://docs.openstack.org/developer/designate/)
This could be what you are looking for:
Designate provides DNSaaS services for OpenStack:
- REST API for domain & record management
- Multi-tenant support
- Integrated with Keystone for authentication
- Framework in place to integrate with Nova and Neutron notifications (for auto-generated records)

I need to know what is the protocol used in vmware ESXi vSphere client to connect to the remote console?
Is this protocol open source ?
Is their any vmware/third party applications enables VM Remote console connection other than vsphere client ?
If you're looking to connect to a ESX machine, without the heavy overhead of the vSphere client then you can use the VMware Remote Console.
While this isn't formally documented, one of the developers has kindly posted some fairly detailed information on the VMware Forums.
vmware-vmrc.exe command documentation
Depending what version of the plugin or vSphere client you have installed depends on the exact location of the plugin. Here is an example for what I have installed as part of vShpere 5
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMware\
VMware VMRC Plug-in\Internet Explorer\vmware-vmrc.exe"
-u user -p password -h esxi.localnet -d "[store1] Test/Test.vmx"
VMware's console access is indeed a closed protocol. However, they do have an embeddable web control called the Remote Console that implements this. It is an 'experimental' feature I believe, and won't be supported by them. But it's doable.
So while the protocol isn't implemented by anyone else I know of, there is an option to wrap the control at least.
