openam/opends LDAP connection error - linux

I am running a opends server (2.2.0) on linux redhat 6 machine, below the current status of the server while propmting the command 'status'
while trying to check the port listening on this machine using the command 'netstat', the ldap dedicated port is not listed there.
Openam configuration always fail with the error(91) cannot connect to LDAP while providing the correct address FQDN:port (openam.example.com:14389).
Actually I am not sure if this a opends issue or and RHEL6 missing configuration or restriction.
Any suggestion or help is very appreciable, Thanks.

It looks like your server is installed on a machine called EZA and listening on port 14389. Could it not be listening to the correct network interface ?
I.e only listening on the loopback interface ?

How do I access RabbitMQ natively without IP address using amqplib?

Where I work we have a cloudfoundry server that provides RabbitMQ as a service. When I configure this service and try to connect using amqplib via (localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc) it doesn't connect. When I look at the Java project, it never configures an IP and seems to connect natively through a driver or something (using Spring).
How would I connect using amqplib without an IP? Should I use another node lib instead?
You can make a connection without setting the hostname but then the hostname is set as "localhost" as described in the documentation.
If your RabbitMQ is on a remote server you must provide
a remote IP address
port (if it is different from the default 5672)
username and password of not default user as mentioned here
You may not be able to make a connection due to closed port on the remote server is closed, check it via telnet

Connect to MonetDb Virtualbox from node.js server app

I am trying to connect Monetdb database, and I would like to use it with a node.js server app.
I currently set up a VirtualBox environment with monetdb package, as described here, and it works well: https://www.monetdbsolutions.com/solutions/cloud/vm
I can connect to this VM with putty with root#localhost:2222, and it works.
However, I cannot find the way to connect to the VM and to my database using node monetdb package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/monetdb
I used:
var options = {
host : 'localhost',
port : 2222,
dbname : 'mydb',
user : 'root',
password : 'monetdb'
};
I cannot find the way to make it work.
When I use:
var conn = require('monetdb').connect(options , function(err) {
if (!err) console.log('connected');
});
It does not trigger any error, nor launches any connection.
I think I am missing something when I access to the Virtual machine root#localhost:2222. It works with SSH, but I am not sure the access with monetdb node package is similar.
Is it even possible to connect to this VM from node.js? Maybe I should try another way to try this database with node.
They made a "docker container". I never used that kind of thing, but it may be suitable as well...
Any help on how I can solve this would be a lot appreciated!
Thanks very much on this.
Best regards
The port 2222 that is linked to port 22 on the virtual machine is for ssh only. The instructions show how to use monetdb on the virtual machine, and not from the host system.
The instruction page mentions:
Alternatively you can create a tunnel over SSH to access the database using the MonetDB MAPI protocol.
So that should be your first attempt. If you are on Linux/Unix or OSX you can set up a tunnel to the default monetdb port like this:
ssh root#localhost:2222 -L 50000:localhost:50000
Alternatively you can use VirtualBox to setup the port forwarding, as explained in the manual in paragraph 6.3.1:
To configure Port Forwarding you can use the graphical Port Forwarding editor which can be found in the Network Settings dialog for Network Adaptors configured to use NAT. Here you can map host ports to guest ports to allow network traffic to be routed to a specific port in the guest.
Now assuming monetdb is running on the virtual host you could connect to it on port 50000 on localhost. You have to check the instructions for username/password, they are probably not the same as the ssh credentials used to set up the tunnel.
Another soluction might be to change the virtualbox config from NAT (where port 2222 on your machine is forwarded to 22 on the virtual computer) to a bridged setup where you can access the virtual machine on its own ip address. This is assuming you have a dhcp server running and dhcp is configured correctly on the virtual os. If this is not the case you need server admin knowledge to get all this set up.

Setting up Azure VM for Neo4j (or any local database) [duplicate]

I have installed a Neo4J instance on my server on port 7474. My domain is also using that server and I want webadmin to be used remotely with a username and a password like this:
example.com:7474
Is there a way to do that? I could not find any guideline in the Neo4J documentation.
Did you get a chance to go through Neo4j Server Configuration documentation? It says:
#allow any client to connect
org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0
This line in conf/neo4j-server.properties is commented by default and limits access to port 7474 to localhost or 127.0.0.1 (which probably is the reason why things work for your domain using that server and accessing Neo4j over localhost). Uncomment that line and it should make port 7474 accessible to everyone i.e. 0.0.0.0.
In order to secure your Neo4j server with an Authorization layer, you might want to refer Securing access to the Neo4j Server documentation.
In my case on ubuntu the line to uncomment was
dbms.connector.http.address=0.0.0.0:7474
File location
Ubuntu: /etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf
Neo4j 3.0.6

Port forward not working to set a local web server

I have just created a simple web server using node server and it's running fine. I can access it from the same PC by going to address http://127.0.0.1:1337.
Now I want to access that web server from my WAN IP. I got my my using whatismyip and got something like 110.36.xxx.xxx.
When I tried http://110.36.xxx.xxx:1337, I got:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 110.36.xxx.xxx:1337.
Here is the screenshot how I created the port forwarding in my router:
What's wrong here?
Localhost is only accessible from the same pc. You have to launch your webserver either on address 0.0.0.0 (it will be available on all network interfaces) or 192.186.0.5 so that it is accessible from your wan interface

Solr with Jetty on LAMP server - Admin page access issue

I have Solr with its default Jetty that came with example directory installed on Linux server which has apache2 as its web server.
Now, within the same private LAN, when I open a browser and type in http://<ip-address>:8983/solr works ONLY when I do port forwarding otherwise it doesn't work. I am not sure what could be the problem? Please note this installation has been done on a remote server in a hosting environment for production deployment and I am a beginner wrt deployment stuff.
You can use the jetty.host parameter during startup to allow direct access to Jetty.
The -D option of the java command can be used with the followin syntax:
java -Djetty.host=0.0.0.0 -jar start.jar
In this way Jetty can be reached from all the hosts.
However this is not the ideal setup IMHO. I prefere to setup Jetty to listen only on localhost, implementing the client with another frontend server which listen on port 80. If you want to implement the frontend on another server you can use iptables to limit the incoming connection, dropping everything on the 8983 port if the IP is different from the one of your frontend server.
This image depicts my preferred setup for a LAMP stack includin SOLR:
