senfo's questions

I can't seem to get my head wrapped around the purpose of a MIB. I have a collection of ~20 MIB files that were supplied to me by the vendor, but what do I do with them?

I also have a few OID's that were supplied by the vendor that don't seem to be valid. When I issue an "snmpget -v1 -c public 192.168.0.123 .1.4.6.3.2.6.2" (assume that's a valid OID), I get an error indicating the variable is unknown. Does this sound like a hardware configuration problem? Do I need to "load" (for lack of better words) the MIB into the device?

Unfortunately, the vendor has been completely unresponsive with returning emails to my questions, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am attempting to limit the number of results that are displayed as a result of dynamic result clustering on the Google Search Appliance. I've looked through the XSLT, but I've only come across the following two user-modifiable options:

<!-- *** dyanmic result cluster options *** -->
<xsl:variable name="show_res_clusters">1</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="res_cluster_position">right</xsl:variable>

Are there more options that I'm unaware of that I could use to limit the results? Is there another way that I'm missing?

I'm trying to configure a web service that queries a SharePoint list. The web service should allow anonymous access from clients. What I'm observing is puzzling me, however. Following is a high level overview of my environment:

web service client -> web service -> SharePoint

What I'm finding is that the user running the web service client requires access to SharePoint. In other words, the user credentials are being passed from the client, through the web service layer, all the way into SharePoint. What I would prefer is that only the web service application pool identity account be granted permission. After disabling Integrated Security, while enabling only Anonymous Access in the web service IIS configuration settings, a 401 (authentication denied) exception is thrown.

I have verified that the application pool identity account has permission to the SharePoint site. I have also verified that the authentication mode is configured as "windows" in the web.config file. I'm not using impersonation, anywhere.

Please note that this is a custom web service (not using the built in SharePoint web services), hosted in IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003.

EDIT: I have additional web methods exposed on the web service that do not connect to SharePoint. I have no problem calling those web methods. Additionally, I have verified that the client user is being passed through to SharePoint because I had to grant the user (the person running client) access to SharePoint.

Other than memory size limits of 4GB, what is the penalty for running 32 bit applications on an OS running in 64 bit? For example. does a 32 bit application require that it's address space be allocated within the first 4 GB or does the OS and processor abstract this away from the application?

There has been a lot of push for 64 bit applications in the software community where I don't always foresee the applications requiring such a large amount of memory (e.g, Firefox), so I'm just curious of the benefits and pitfalls of running 32 bit applications on a 64 bit platform.

I just installed IE 8 and I am now unable to authenticate with my SharePoint 2007 site using Integrated Authentication. I have no problems, however, connecting with Firefox using the exact same user account.

Thinking my problem might be related to IE 8 permissions, I added the site to the list of intranet sites. After this did not resolve the problem, I also reconfigured the security level to low for the intranet zone. I'm still unable to authenticate.

Interestingly enough, I'm able to connect to the Central Admin site using the same browser. Furthermore, as I previously mentioned, I have no problem connecting using Firefox. Both Central Admin and my development site are configured for Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS.

I've gone through the advanced settings in IE one-by-one and I haven't been able to figure out what's preventing me from authenticating with my SharePoint site using IE 8.

I thank you in advance for any information.
