My client want to use OpenAM OpenIDM and OpenDJ for the product development. Before that client want to know what will be the production sizing for this forgerock.
Our plan is to have the 1 million user and 100K concurrent users are there then how much size it will take to on production. I have gone through the documentation of forgerock but didn’t find much information from it.

Backstory: I work at a place where we use Gmail for our business email system. We sell things online, provide a phone number, chat, and email for customer service. We can pull statistics from our phone and chat records, but not email.
This is where Gmail Meter comes into play. We installed it hoping to gain more insight into the statistics of our emails. We did, but some of the numbers seem to be off.
Can anyone explain the backend workings of GMeter a bit in hopes to explain why our numbers appear off?
Also, I looked in the gmail admin panel and the Reports tab only appears to give a high level overview of all accounts, not specific ones, such as Total Mail Usage, User Activity, Total Email Accounts, and Usage.
I'm Ryan from the Gmail Meter team. We understand there are some bugs right now, so not everyone's data is being analyzed properly. It seems some parameters are set up for a couple days' worth, instead of a weeks' worth, of counting.
Feel free to shoot me an email and I'll send you an update when we get it fixed.
Thanks for bringing this to attention!

Ok so ive been tasked with doing "research" on building an intranet for a potential new client for my company and they want some kind of answer by Monday (like any company, they REALLY want this project).
That said, ive been doing "Reasearch" and have so many tabs/windows open that im going nuts and getting lost since my research doesn't have direction...taking in too much and need assistance.
i have 2 questions after a brief explanation.
Essentially, From my understanding, an Intranet is...well in plain
terms, a website that is offline? has a deeper framework because of
the documents that will be available(i think its for a school)and the
ppl who can access them but can also have access to the internet?
Since its for a school(not sure if its mainly for teachers or teachers
and students ) im assuming alot of documents either way.
aside form being private, throughout my research, ive read alot about file security, firewalls, and...and.. im starting to get overwhelmed.
Me myself, am a web designer/so-so developer. decent knowledge of js/jquery and php/mysql though i feel like im just getting started in the web-developer part. Good knowledge of standards HTML/css, designer tools etc...
That said, these are my questions.
1.What is actually involved in planning to create this? What tools( read CMS if possible ) can i use to create any of this. Like to make this happen what do i actually need, and need to know? what direction should i take. If you can direct me and help me close some of these 30+ links spread across my 3 monitors id owe ya lol.
i can build many things and dont mind giving it a HARD go but, this seems like a HUGE project and, im SURE that if my company takes this job, id be put on it. now i can do some of the parts of this project but not 100% sure im the right person for this. Theyre counting on me for a yes/no answer as to whether i can do it (they know its big and itll take time to accomplish) but so...with my skills posted above, am i the right person to do this? or is this more akin to an ACTUAL tried and true developer?
Thank you for your time and, any tips/links/cms info/ i mean ANYTHING that would make this easier PLEASE dont hesitate to share. i dont mind doing the research but i need direction.
i dont want to tell them "YES i can do it" and in a month or two im on pause stuck and the yes turns into a "no i cant do it"
If you have no experience in setting up networks, then you are probably not the man for the job (unless your client is willing to let you have a shot at it for the experience, on a no-win, no-fee basis). Certainly do not over-promise and under-deliver!
I deal with quite a lot of schools, and I know many of the smaller ones will use the secretary's computer as a server, with a simple Windows home network to place files in a shared directory. Its a cheap and cheerful alternative, within their own skillsets to manage.
You should also check with the govermental department with relevant oversight (Dept. of Education, I'd imagine) to see what guidlines, requirements, and grants, are available or required. There may be a specific recommended route to take here, with made to measure firewall protection provided to you.
Larger schools will have invested in proper servers, with automatic external backups in place. I'm not qualified to give advice on how to set those up however. Hopefully someone else here will :)
Best of luck!
CMS may be included as a Intranet website, but Intranet includes much more than CMS. Your best stragetic is tell your boss find a network system integrator to do this project collaboratively. Intranet involves more networking technology (L2, L3, switching, routing, firewall, wireless, etc etc) and physical instrument (ex. cabling).
David of the foursquare-support-Team directed me here to leave my question for answering here...
We are currently thinking about publishing our own venues on foursquare - about 1000 of them and more to come. We would love to offer a mayor special like "50% off the bill".
Getting the information, that the mayor just checked in: No problem here - already tried to implement that and it works.
But as we are going to give money away with our 50%-special, we absolutly need to be shure, that the person who checked in is certainly inside the venue.
The current fraud-detection does not work good enough for us - today I checked into one of our test-venues, when I was about 25km away. No good :(
Here is one solution I would love to see implemented at foursquare to solve our problem:
If "trusted checkins" are enabled, the venue can still be visited by searching for it or using its URL. When checking in this way, you are awarded the regualr points, but you cannot gain any mayorship or badge (like when checking in via the mobile foursquare website).
By using an API-call, a trusted-checkin-id is generated (for example venueid_token), that can be displayed to the user by a QR-Code, NFC-Tag, etc. When this special venue-id is opened, checkins are "trusted" and are rewarded with mayorships, etc.
Upon calling the same function again, a new trusted-checkin-id is generated (venueid_newtoken). Using this new id to checkin, you get all the benefits. Using one of the old special-checkin-id, will not give you those perks.
Of course, trusted-checkin-ids can only be generated by an account associated with the venues in question.
Using this - I think quite simple system - we could present our users QR-codes to checkin and be shure, they cannot cheat.
Additionally, the beauty of this soultion is, that it won't require any change in the mobile applications already deployed by foursquare. Everything can be done directly on the foursquare-servers.
I would love to hear from you girls and guys at foursquare-engeneering-hq.
Cheers,
Martin
Users are able to check in to venues anywhere, but if they're physically far away the check-in won't count towards specials unlocks or the mayorship. So while your check-in "succeeded," it didn't actually contribute towards you unlocking the special in any way.
These check-ins also don't count towards the merchant statistics, so you can look at the merchant dashboard for the venue and confirm that the "far away" check-in was not counted.
Actually, this is how Foursquare works. They allow to checkin from far away. There's currently no know way (at least for me) to avoid it. Could you please explain in more detail, what are these 1000 venues you're going to add and why do you need this 50% major-bonus for all of them?
The only way I could think off to do what you want is to create a custom application that would use FS api to post checkins, etc, but will have additional check based on location and some custom equivalent of mayorship. Basically that's what we've done to avoid fake checkins - additional location check inside of our app.
How can I tell the nationality of a user of my web site based on client ip?
Edit: Like commented, this question have been answered before:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/283016/know-a-good-ip-address-geolocation-service
use the GeoIP databse. there is a free one. there are also a lot of GeoIP webServices you can use.
If you're thinking localization, let the user choose the correct language instead of doing it automatically -- or at least provide an easy way for them to change it and make it sticky via cookies. You can do ok most of the time at guessing using GeoIP, but sometimes you'll get it really wrong. Google sometimes sends my wife to the German version of their web site even though we're in the middle of the US. Using anonymization services (like TOR) will also likely result in guessing errors. Having the option to choose and keeping the choice on the computer will make it a better experience for your users.
Besides the already mentioned GeoIP database, you could also use IP2LOCATION service. It's a paid one but it will also work.
Keep in mind that all these services will give you an estimate of the location but not a very accurate geographic position. I read a networking paper once stating that this is an impossible task to accomplish (give an accurate position of an IP address).
Ok, so I'm building "Web 2.0/3.0" sites to make extra money. I currently run my own personal project sites with some advanced technology in the backend (AI stuff, recommendation system) that I've developed over the years. It's a subscription site for me to make money on the side.
Now, my company (they do web application/software technology, ad network) somehow found out I run several websites. They were like, "Hey Joe, you run so and so websites! Why not put them on our ad network?? The stuff you're doing is a threat to our technology -- we don't want you competing with us on the side. Let us have your websites and put it on our portfolio/ad network."
Ok, basically it seems they want the rights to my technology and personal project. Somehow they must've googled my name and linked it to some projects I'm working on on the side. Is this ethical for a company to do? Trying to own my personal project since it's got some cool technology and trying to own the rights to it? Just because I work for the company doesn't mean I'm gonna make an offer to them, right?
You probably need to consult a lawyer. What were the terms of your employment that you agreed to when you were hired? Was there a non-compete clause? Was there a required disclosure clause?
Depends on your employment contract. Your contract might say something like "anything you do, while in the employ of company XYZ, be it during work or non work hours belongs to us". It's time to talk to a lawyer, not ask StackOverflow, this isn't a technology/programming question.
Ethical? Yes, why not. If you're putting stuff out on the web and they can find it via Google, then why shouldn't they? If you don't want people to find stuff you've done on the web then don't put it on the web or use a robots.txt to hide it from Google. It's not completely unreasonable for them to at least wonder if you may be using technology that you developed while you were working for them.
Legal--maybe so, maybe not. Depends on the employment agreement that you signed when you joined the company. I'd consult an employment lawyer for real advice rather than asking here.
They may have web logs that demonstrate that you were working on your private web sites during work time--if you did so. I'd be very careful in how I proceed if I were you.
check your contract, and/or your state laws and case precedents. Talk to a lawyer.
IMHO it is unethical for them to attempt to take your intellectual property without compensation, even if you have a 'all your codez are belong to us' kind of work-for-hire agreement. But talk to a lawyer, and be prepared to walk, get sued, and countersue, if necessary. Someone trying to steal your lunch money is a bully and a thief, but they may just have a legal claim.
Unfrotunately, this is not a joke. Talk to a lawyer right away.
If what you do in any way competes with what your company does or uses technology, intellectual property, information or contacts that you gained because of your employment with your company, then you may have issues and should check your contract and see a lawyer.
The other side is: did you ever work on your sites (and this can include sending emails and the like) your personal projects at work? If so, you may be in trouble there too.
IANAL so that's all I'll say on the legalities.
You need to consult a lawyer to get a definitive answer to this question. The answer might depend on your employment contract, and the laws in your locale. Don't rely on anything people say on the internet regarding legal matters.
Regardless of whether or not it's within their rights to do so, I think it's unethical and foolish of them to pressure you like this. I imagine they have just lost any employee loyalty you might have had.
I think a proper response could be, "if you think there's ad revenue potential in my websites, make me an offer that reflects their value, and I'll consider it." After all, you started those sites to make money, right?
But first talk to a lawyer, to be sure you're in a position to negotiate.
Well a friendly way to go about it, and that they should probably be willing to accept if they are a reasonable lot, is to buy/lease your technology. This way you can get a nice sum of money for your work (since you mentioned the purpose of this site was to make extra money in your question).
Otherwise (if its a pet project first and foremost) you might as well tell them in a friendly manner that you keep that site as a hobby, and you'd prefer to not share it if thats ok, unless they let you work full time on your and a cut in the earnings, etc... (something most people would love to do, work on their pet projects and get paid a stable salary for it).
As always first try to reason with the other party in a civilized and friendly matter, it'll likely make both parties happier, and it'll be better than taking the legal route most of the time.
I am Not a Lawyer, and the laws almost certainly vary by country/state/province. But if you are working on a side project on your own time, on your own equipment, using only your own network resources, etc., then in my opinion, they have no right to your work.
If you signed some sort of vague non-compete contract, or something that says all the stuff you do on your own time is theirs, then you have less of a leg to stand on.
Your best bet is to ask a lawyer, if there's enough revenue from your subscription base to justify it.
Consult a lawyer! Regardless of your contractual obligations, any company has a right to be concerned if one of their employees is running a direct competitor on the side, especially if they can demonstrate that you have access to privileged information which you are using to compete (knowledge of their technologies, marketing strategy, customers etc).
