Configure OpenStack nova with remote Bind Server - openstack

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)
- Support for PowerDNS and Bind9 out of the box

Freeradius3 auth with OpenLDAP

For the past few days, i've been trying to configure freeradius to authenticate wifi clients in OpenLDAP (without TLS - 389 bind).
I tried several guides and did not get the result i was looking for.
At localhost, RADTEST works and i receive an Accept-Accpet.
User is found within LDAP and accepts authentication.
When i try to authenticate via wifi (Windows 10), i can't connect.
The configuration i am currently using is this:
https://gitlab.com/ae-dir/client-examples/-/blob/master/freeradius/radiusd.conf
Someone with experience integrating freeradius with openldap?
I need wifi clients to connect with their ldap credentials.
You have not explained more details about the authentication method you are trying to use. This is important. However, a simple recipe for making freeradius+ldap authentication work with Windows10, Ubuntu and Android in EAP/TTLS mode is as follows:
Make sure the radius server has access to the LDAP server. Also make sure that the clients (access points) have access to the radius server. Check firewall issues and freeradius configuration (for Debian10 the file is /etc/freeradius/3.0/clients.conf)
For the authentication test (taking into account that the previous step has already been certified by you), there are two interesting tools: radtest (part of the freeradius-utils package) which does not support EAP/TTLS authentication, and a tool called eapol_test, which is part of the wpa_supplicant package and supports EAP-TTLS.
Follow the EAP/TTLS configuration steps and how to use the eapol_test tool on this link.
Make sure you generate the new certificates (don't use snakeoil certificates at all) and don't forget to change the certificate settings in /etc/freeradius/3.0/mods-enabled/eap). The link from the previous step does not talk about this step.
Run freeradius in full debug mode to find any errors (ie freeradius -X).
Don't forget to check the password and protocol compatibility list.

NFV on OpenStack

I am fairly new to the NFV+SDN. I have downloaded the OpenDayLight and OpenStack in one Fedora 20 VM. I have mininet network as underlying physical topology in a separate VM. I want to run services like VPN, L3 routing and NAT, Loadbalancing etc on OpenStack, but I don't have a very clear image on how to start. As far as I have understood I have to run these services on OpenStack nodes (through VM instances) and route the traffic through mininet topology with OpenDayLight as the controller in the middle.
My confusions are:
How to start writing the applications (Firewall, VPN, NAT, etc) on OpenStack?
Do I have to write a code for such services or is it command line configuration?
I came across Neutron API, Is that of any help?
Came across this: http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-network/2.0/content/API_extensions.html
I have looked at the other questions regarding writing "Hello World" on OpenStack but could not find anything. I shall be grateful to you for any information that could get me started on this project.
I would suggest you to check OpenBaton.
Nowadays I'm working with it which can be used NFV MANO. In addition it's ETSI compliant and their solutions are easy to implement and configure.
For your confusions- You do NOT need to write code explicitly for Firewall / VPN / LB. You need to configure the Openstack Neutron to allow these services directly. The code is already present. You need to configure them to use them. For NAT there is L3 agent already running in the default setup ( al least via packstack )
Neutron API is of any use??? I assume you are refering to REST API and NOT CLI.
Well everything that you do on Dashboard is actualy represented as a REST API to Neutron Server ( not just Neutron but all the other components of Openstack ). All the components of Openstack ( Neutron, Nova, Glance, Keystone, etc ) interact via REST API with each other and RPC mechanism within each component. All the clicks on the Dashboard are actually thrown as a REST API call to the component servers!

Coherence cache for.net client

I am trying to access a coherence cache using .net client.The cluster is already set up , all I have to do is to access the coherence cache from the client side and get the objects from the cacheservice . As of now I have the coherence dll and the client config .what else should I do ?
You should check the 'Developing Remote Clients for Oracle Coherence' guide,
specifically client side configuration:
http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/coherence/COHCG/gs_configextend.htm#BEBEGIAE
The link included in the other answer is a great start. Basically:
You run at least one "proxy" in the cluster
You configure the client to point to the proxy or proxies (or a load balancer in front of the proxies)
You use the Coherence C# API in .NET and it finds the configuration and connects to proxy

BizTalk SSO Configuration - There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper

I have a two node BTS2010 group with a separate SQL Server hosting the BTS databases including SSODB; Biz01, Biz02 and Sql01. This environment was configured by a previous employee and I have no documentation available.
There seems to be something not right with the SSO config but I'm not sure how to resolve it.
When I run ssoconfig -status on Biz02 all looks good - it tells me that the SSO Server is Biz02 and the SQL Server is Sql01 plus a load of other stuff. However, when I run the same command on Biz01 I get the message: "Error 0xC0002A0F: Could not contact the SSO server 'Sql01'. Check that SSO is configured and that the SSO service is running on that server'
I'm not clear on what Biz01 is trying to do here - is it trying to reach the EntSSO windows service on Biz02 via an RPC call, before ultimately attempting to retrie config info from Sql01?
I have checked that the ENTSSO service is running on Biz01, Biz02 and that the RPC service is running on each of the three servers.
Can anyone help advise what further steps I can take to determine the root cause of this configuration problem?
Many thanks
Rob.
I'm not sure if you have your servers clustered or not but I've run into something similar before within a cluster. Your SSO name should be your network name and not the individual computers name. Here's an post about the issue I had. Hope it helps.

How to connect to vmware ESXi remote console

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.
See: Installing and Using the VMware Remote Console Plug-in
