Customize login page IBM BPM portal - portal

I am trying to change the look and feel of the IBM BPM portal's login page. I read about it in this link. I have installed the windows hotfix suggested in the link and i have also checked 'Default to basic authentication when certificate authentication for the HTTPS client fails' in Websphere application server but still i am facing an error when i am trying to upload files into the WebDAV folder using Cyberduck. It just gives a message saying 'bad request'.I can browse and see all the files and folders but I just can't upload. I can upload using cyberduck in my friend's PC without installing the hotfix or checking the authentication option in websphere application server. So now i am sure that the problem is in my BPM or my operating system. Me and my friend are using Windows 7 and the same BPM version. I am trying to find the solution for this since 3 days on google but no luck. Someone please help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance

make sure you are using the WAS administrator to connect. It seems like a privileges issues. Switch to Admin ID and retry.

Customization of IBM BPM login page is needed admin authorization for example your tw_admin to connect to it using cyberduck , note: if you install fix pack your customization will be lost and restore the old login page.

You may have to use the Deployment Manager password to alter contents through CyberDuck.

PWA installed or not?

I wanted to know is there a way by which we can check whether our website's PWA is installed or not by the user on the device?
I have done with the " add to home screen banner" but what if the user comes the second time and we need to check. Please help thanks in advance.
You may refer with this documentation. Be noted that if the user has installed your Progressive Web App through the old Add to Homescreen method (i.e, in anything prior to Chrome 58) then it is not possible to detect if your app is installed. Chrome added your site to the Homescreen as a bookmark, and this data was not exposed to the system.
However, if the user has installed the web app using the new Web APK functionality, it is possible to determine if your web app is installed. If you know the package name of your Web APK then you can use the context.getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo() API to determine if it is installed. Please note that this is experimental.

Webdav for Xpages and Domino only works giving anonymous full access rights

I have installed webdav for Domino and made the required changes in the webdavconfig.nsf.
If I give designer rights to anonymous users, I can access and update the word documuments in the database through Internet Explorer and MS Word, but if I change them back to no rights, i cant. Of course I want to edit them with my own credentials.
What am I doing wrong?
OS windows 10
URL which works anonymous (????? are hidden)
webdavs://dev.?????.nl/webdav/domino/eod.docx
https://dev.?????.nl/development/webdab.nsf
https://dev.?????.nl/webdav/domino/
Any help would be appreciated!
I wrote that application.
You are in the tricky land of authentication. Domino supports: Basic, FormBased, Cookie based (LTPA) SPENEGO and SAML. The later 3 need configuration work.
What happens when you use WebDAV is that no longer your browser, but a local library (belonging to Explorer or Office) talks to Domino.
You can "manually" try that using File - Open and paste the URL to the document (the one with https://, not webdavs://).
The only thing that happens with a webdavs:// url: a little helper checks, based on extension in the registry, what app is needed (Word, Excel, OpenOffice) and then calls that app with the https:// url as parameter. Like starting e.g. Excel from the command line:
excel.exe https://someserver/path/spreadshit.xls
By default Windows now uses NTLM or Kerberos authentication, neither of them supported by Domino (There used to be a proxy translating NTML to LTPA by a 3rd party). So no credential reaches Domino. Hence you need anonymous access rights.
For older versions of Windows I described what you need to do to get Basic Auth going.
Never came around to check what setting you would need on Windows 8 or 10 to allow basic auth there. Also, in theory, SAML or SPENEGO SSO might do the trick.
If you got Mac or Linux, you could check them first.
So the challenge isn't with the webDAV plugin as such, but in finding a common authentication ground between the OS and Domino. Hope that clarifies it a little.
Let us know how it goes!

Error connecting to IBM Bluemix server in Domino Designer

I am trying to create something in IBM Bluemix.
Stuck at the beginning.
I installed the Extension lib x_15 from openNTF.
In the DDE preferences I selected the UK Bluemix server.
Entered my credentials and pressed the "test connection" button.
A connection error pops-up.
In that dialog there is only.
com/ibm/icu/impl/ICUBinary
Any idea's?
I can connect via the command line cloud foundry. So the username and password is correct.
Also when I try to import the sample app. via Tools - IBM Bluemix Starter Code I get the same error.
Regards,
Peter
Make sure the DDE BLUEMIX URL is api.eu-gb.bluemix.net because that is needed if you connect against the UK datacenter.
You need to install FP5IF1 that should solve the issue, as Per Henrik Lausten suggested. I got secondary confirmation of this from the Designer team so it should work.
You can download it here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24037141
or perhaps here

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again in Sharepoint 2013

while saving the item in list "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again" error. NLB is configured, for SQL we have seperate server.
i have done the following but no luck.
1) IISRESR in App server and NLB servers .
2)Restart All servers including SQL server.
3)Enabled anonymous authentication in all IIS.
4)Sharepoint search host controller restart.
5) search host controller restart. in Central admin also .
No Luck. But i can upload a document in document library.
can any 1 help??
:(
We had faced same issue and tried all five step but no luck. After that we restarted the server and issue fixed. In-spite of this if issue not fixed then rebuilt your system. if you have got any answer then let us know.
Thank you

I am assuming that this has been solved in SharePoint StackExchange site. But in case somebody gets directed to this page via search engine:
Occassionaly this happens because Anonymous Authentication is disabled in IIS Manager and Enabling the Anonymous Authentication solves this issue.
Please go to the web application in IIS Manager and enable Anonymous Authentication.
The other day I was having this issue and after fixing it, created a blog post Here
Hope this helps to other people having the same issue.

Azure based Umbraco site - when logging in, I get logged back out immediately

I have recently installed a website project on Azure and that was relatively easy to do thanks to great docs online. We are having a problem with the back office (admin) login though, it's a bit strange, as it didn't happen straight away, I shall elaborate....
When I go to http://www.keelycattschoolofdance.co.uk/umbraco/ it takes me to the login page, which seems fine.
(The url at this point becomes www.keelycattschoolofdance.co.uk/.../login.aspx)
I then login, which works and it starts to display the admin panels but then bounces back to the login and the URL becomes www.keelycattschoolofdance.co.uk/.../login.aspx
I am running this on Azure using the Accelerator, latest version of Umbraco and using SQL CE 4.0 rather than SQL Server.
has anyone seen this before?
Please let me know if you need more information, I shall respond :-)
Thanks in advance
Nick
It sounds like it may be a Session error. This is a problem for Azure and Umbraco because Azure uses round robin load balancing.
The normal way of setting up an Umbraco site using the accelerator would be to have a separate session DB where the shared session state is stored.
Make sure you are using this accelerator for Umbraco on Azure as it's the latest and best.
http://waacceleratorumbraco.codeplex.com/
We have several large production sites using this and I can confirm they all work fine (including the backend editing environment).
Things to watch out for are that you need to follow the instructions closely as they are easy to get wrong :-)
Make sure you don't have dashes in your db names as this makes things go wrong as well.
Finally if you are using more than one web role the Umbraco preview can sometimes yellow screen, as the preview XML may not be on the server that gets to the preview request. This is again because of the round robin load balancing.
