I am planning to install a LDAP server on an EC2 instance. The requirement is to have the admin console to be accessible for users in our intranet. Please suggest the best open source product.
Thanks in advance,
Kotesh
I have been using ApacheDS on EC2. It has ApacheDS Studio which is eclipse like application which has extensive features and tools to manage the LDAP. I have ApacheDS running on EC2 while the studio is installed on my local machine and it works great.
BTW, ApacheDs is Java based LDAP.

can anyone tell me what IAM role policy required for setup Jmeter on aws as a user.
JMeter is a piece of software which user can download from Internet and launch, you don't need to "setup" it at all.
The only pre-requisite is JRE (or better JDK) version 8+
More information: JMeter Installation: How to Get Started
I cannot think of any suitable IAM policy, the user needs to be able to access the machine over RDP or SSH, it is not necessary even to have an AWS account.
I would appreciate any help that can be offered. I would like to achieve the following in Azure and having tried various tutorials using lots of different configurations I am still unable to achieve what seems quite simple.
I would like to set the default IIS homepage on an Azure VM to use Windows Authentication. I would like to Add a user or group from my local on-premise Active Directory, which is linked to an Azure Active Directory using 'Azure AD Connect'. Finally I would like to login to a client machine on my local on-premise Active Directory, and be able to browse to the Azure VM IIS default homepage without having to enter a username and password, as I am already authenticated having logged into the local Active Directory.
I am happy to try various setups and scenarios, so if you can help please shout up.
Thanks
Andy
I have an AWS server (MS SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2008 R2 with IIS), with an elastic IP of 54.214.8.111, security groups configured with HTTP, MS SQL and FTP, and I can connect to the remote virtual machine using the rdp file that amazon gives you in the console.
However when I try to connect via visual studio to test if the database is working, it gives me a "Login failed for user 'dbuser' error. I have a user called dbuser on my SQL Server (on the server side of course) with full access permissions etc. I also cannot connect to an ftp on the server, despite all guides and help doc. Something seems to be simply blocking my connection. I have tried the same thing on multiple computers.
Everything seems to be configured correctly except I suspect the server instance.
Can anyone help? PS I'm fairly new to web development, this is my first AWS EC2 server.
[UPDATE] I just tried to create a new instance in a different location, same thing, maybe I don't know how to configure the SQL Server on the EC2?
It appears that by default EC2 SQL instances have SQL authentication disabled.
In SQL Management Studio, connect as the built in Administrator account, then go to
Server Properties>Security>
Under Server Authentication, change to "SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode"
Restart SQL
Your local accounts should now work
Try running in elevated mode (right click Visual studio and run as Administrator), solved some issues I was having recently.
"Assign this instance to a security group which allows publishing using Webmatrix: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209901"
it shows on desktop readme after "Microsoft Optimized Hosting WebMatrix AMI" booted. But the article is missing.
Thanks your help.
following is the full text readme:
Welcome to your WebMatrix Server Instance on Amazon EC2. You can publish to this server using Microsoft WebMatrix after following these steps:
1) Install WebMatrix on your development PC:
2) * IMPORTANT * Assign this instance to a security group which allows publishing using Webmatrix: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209901
3) Download the WebMatrix.PublishSettings file that is on your desktop to your development PC. You can import these publishing settings into WebMatrix for one-click publishing.
According to this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/gduthie/archive/2011/04/27/webdeploy-tip-for-webmatrix-watch-out-for-port-blocking.aspx
Port 8172 must be available to the computer doing the deployment.
Add permission to the security group your web server is running in to allow access to port 8172 for the computer that needs to do the deployment.
Then, set the EC2 host to be in that security group.
I am very new in TFS 2010. I have setup my PC as server. I need to connect the client machine with this server. I have added a Service Account in TFS console. The client machine are connected with this account.
Now, my question is that, is the Service Account is intended to connect the client with server?
Can anyone explain me the purpose of this account?
Also I need to know, how to find(or setup) the TFS admin?
Are you referring to the "TFSSERVICE" service account from the installation guide? That account is used to run various services related to TFS, for example the TFS Task Scheduler. It should have the minimum privileges possible on the machine.
The client should not connect to the server with a service account, they should be using their own account which you grant access to the relevant repositories in TFS. If you connect all clients with the service account, how will you know who checked in each changeset?
You might find the installation guide of use which can be found here. See section entitled "Accounts Required for Installation of Team Foundation Components".
If you are using a domain, you should be able to follow the instructions in this article for how permissions work in TFS. You can allocate permissions to resources from the Team Explorer pane within Visual Studio.
If you're using TFS in a workgroup then it's a little different as you need to set up local accounts for your users. See this article.
