WebSphere Portal 8 Admin Console not loading - websphere-portal

I just installed Portal 8 on a Windows 7 Virtual Machine and when I try to access the admin console by going to https://localhost:10037/ibm/console it just stays like it is loading, but never does. I can access the portal fine by going to http://localhost:10039/wps/portal. Has anybody encountered this?

Cordova app cannot see web server

Ionic Framework version 1.4.0-alpha.5
Cordova version 3.5.0-0.2.4
Windows 7 64 bit
Nexus 5 running Android 5
I have an Ionic Framework app that accesses a web API. This Web API is hosted at 192.168.0.10 (my development machine). For whatever reason I am getting nothing but 404 errors when trying to access this server via $http.
If I access 192.168.0.10 from my PC, it works as expected.
If I access 192.168.0.10 from chrome on my mobile phone, it works as expected
If I access 192.168.0.10 from the Ionic/Cordova app on my phone I see 404 errors via the web view inspector utility of the ADB chrome plugin.
When I change the remote web server address to the live URL ( e.g. https://my.server.com/ ) it works as expected.
I have added 192.168.0.10 to my access rights in config.xml
This used to be fine in the past, but not it doesn't work... and I am stumped! Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE I've tried accessing 192.168.0.10 from a brand new test app and it works as expected, I can only assume at this stage it's something to do with a plugin...

Lightswitch Forms Authentication issues based on windows user?

First my apologies if I failed to find an answer searching - I tried a variety of search topics but none that were directly related.
I have a Lightswitch app deployed and working fine, running on IIS 7 and Windows Server 2008. It is an internal intranet app only.
I am using only FORMS AUTHENTICATION, all others are disabled.
The app works fine for MOST windows users.
However, some windows users get nothing but a blank screen - no login, no "loading..." and no silverlight "98%" display.
In the IIS log, I don't even see where it looks like it is being accessed when they attempt to load the app?
So, my question is, since this is FORMS authentication only, what could be causing it to NOT work based on which windows user is trying to run the app?
In other words, on the same Windows 7 machine, it works for 10 users, but not for others.
by the way, the application is remote - it is not running on the local machine.
The users ARE able to access the other ASP.NET applications hosted by the same IIS server in the same root inetpub folder.
The lightswitch application is using the ASP.NET v4.0 Classic app pool in calssic managed pipeline mode.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!
Happy to post any details/config/logs - I did not do so yet as I wasn't sure what would be most useful....
On the users machine you need to use Fiddler or the F12 tools in Internet Explorer to see exactly what calls are being made to the server and which ones are failing. LightSwitch is just an ASP.net website that launches a Silverlight application.
So the only other thing I can think of is that those users do not have Silverlight installed on their machines?
The users need to install the latest version of Silverlight. Apps built with LightSwitch 2011 require v4 or above and those built with LightSwitch for Visual Studio 2012 require v5

Facebook Test User and iOS6 OS Integration

I'd like to use my FaceBook test users (which can be used in a browser and username/password are working correctly) in my iPhone Simulator and iPhone itself for trying to post from an application. If I try to register the FaceBook test account in iOS6 Settings, I got an error
Could not communicate with the server
This error is different from username/password wrong and seems to work for almost 30 seconds before the error pops up. (The login via Mobile Safari works flawless)
Any ideas what I should try to get iOS6 to work with my FaceBook test user?
Best regards

Configure GlassFish 3 for mobile?

I have a JSF application deployed on GlassFish
I am able to access the application from another computer
When I try to access the application from a mobile device (iPod Touch) , I got this error telling the server couldn't be found
The iPod is connected on Internet via my home router. Exactly as the other computers
Is there anything to configure in glassfish ?
Thanks for your advice.
I have find my solution :
The URL to access my web application is something like:
http://mymachinename:port/ApplicationName
PC can resolve DNS
iPod / iPad is not able to resolve the DNS
When I use the IP address instead of the machine name, everything works fine
Hope it will help someone else

Can Adobe AIR applications achieve SSO authentication against Active Directory?

I don't know much about AIR apps, but I like what I'm seeing so far. So now, I'm wondering if this type of app would make sense in the intranet at work.
Before I invest time and effort into ramping up on AIR development, I would like to know: is it possible for an AIR app on Windows to do single sign-on authentication against Active Directory? I'm thinking of maybe an AIR app that uses a logged on user's Windows credentials to connect to web services hosted on IIS with Windows auth turned on.
I know that IT security would get on my case if I rolled an app that makes a user enter a password. Any workaround that's not kludgy and accomplishes SSO with AD would be cool too.
I have successfully setup Tomcat 6.0.26 running on CentOS 5.4 (Final) with Java 1.6.0_17-b04 using the SPNEGO servlet filter from spnego.sourceforge.net to automatically authenticate WindowsXP SP3 with IE 7.0 against a Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory domain. In addition, I have an Adobe AIR application developed for use on an intranet that can also authenticate via SPNEGO just like IE7.
Before getting Tomcat working on CentOS, I followed the "pre-flight checklist" and "install guide-tomcat" links at sourceforge.net to get Tomcat working with the SPNEGO filter on a Windows XP server. Once I got things setup so that IE could auto-authenticate, Adobe AIR just worked.
Once I had the username, I wrote some code to pull user groups from the AD LDAP. Helpful links for Java LDAP code may be found at starting at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=726601.
Definitely. If SSO works in IE it works in your AIR app. We are currently deploying an app that does just this.
AIR running on Windows will use the SSO settings from Internet Explorer. As long as your users can login with SSO in IE, they can do the same in AIR. This can be done with group policy settings pretty easily: add your site as an Intranet site, enable Integrated Windows Authentication, and you're good to go.
Haven't run into any problems so far. We've tested it with about 10 users. YMMV.
Using AIR you can read files from the file system and you can open network connections, so that should get you somewhere.
What would the use of the SSO be? Describing a possible job that this AIR app should perform will help people to give a more helpful answer.
Charles,
If you have an example of some code that pulls I.E. credentials, I would be really grateful to see it. I'm working on building a Flex app that accesses content on a SharePoint server that uses the active directory to authenticate permissions.
