Why other devices cannot add my pass - ios6

I created a pass. I can add it to my passbook by email or app or web server. When I send it to others to test, they can open it on Mail.app and see a pass, but when they click add button, nothing adds to passbook. Why is it so ?

The issue is because your webServiceURL is HTTP, not HTTPS.
"webServiceURL" : "http://192.168.1.202:8888/passesWebserver/"
The pass will load on your device because you have enabled "Allow HTTP Services" in the PassKit Testing section of the Developer menu in your device's settings.
For non-development devices (or development devices that don't have this option set), the webServiceURL has to be HTTPS.
To fix this, either change your webServiceURL to https://192.168.1.202:8888/passesWebserver/, or ask the people who you are sending the pass to, to Allow HTTP Services (note, they will require development devices to be able to do so).
Also note that if you change to https, your webServiceURL will probably not work because your MAMP server is not configured for SSL on port 8888.

SOAP UI not able to talk to Salesforce whereas browser can

I am not able to connect to https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token form SoapUI (ver 5.2.1). I have tried the PRO version and other older versions (4.6.xx) as well.
I can access the website from the web-browser. The GET to this URL gives me the response where as SOAPUI says HttpHostConnectException connection to https://test.salesforce.com/ refused.
I have checked that there is direct connection available from my PC to this address. I have tried adding https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort settings in soapui.vmoptions and sopaui.bat but of no use.
I have also tried playing around with Preemptive Authentication settings in SOAPUI without success
My organization has firewall which has white listed this address. I have also confirmed that firewall settings does allow to connect thru non standard clients (such as ApacheHttpClient).
If I use a Java Program using URLConnection using the proxy, it works.
At this point it seems to me that SOAPUI is not honoring the proxy settings.
Please share if anyone has similar experience and how did they resolve it.

Using AWS, AngularJS project on port 80, does one use a non-port 80 for the WebAPI back end?

I have a double project solution: 1) Angular front-end 2) WebAPI back end.
We are deploying to Amazon EC2 instance. On that box I create one website on port 80 (stopping the default) for the Angular code. I also create a second website on a non 80 port for the WebApi. The solution doesn't work on the EC2 box at the moment only on my dev box with dev type settings. Before I choose which remedy path I was wondering what is best practice.
Obviously, one puts the Angular on port 80 because it is html content but what about the api, does one put this on another port or does one use a dns subdomain and still port 80. [At some point I'll need to do https as well so that is a factor, too many ports?]
Both html and webapi's should be served by a single server ultimately.
This is because browers enforce CORS i.e same origin policy. If you receive html content from 'http://domainname:80/index.html', you cannot make ajax and http put/get queries to 'http://domainname:8080/api/feature' and so on.
That being said, you can have a front end listener like nginx or tomcat on port 80 and serve the angular app + all other static html directly on port 80.
i.e you get your page at http://domainname:80/index.html and you can host all the api calls on a different port, but ask nginx to redirect those calls to a different port based on some rule you have to define , subdomain or anything which does not ask for index.html , make them redirect to your another server running on port 8080. Make sure to block public access to this port in your production environment so that nobody can directly call your api's

How to respond requests with the windows host file?

Using the windows host file located in
windows/system32/drivers/etc/host
Is it possible to respond a request from an application like when it is offline(not connected to the Internet)? Could you please give an example of this is done.
The hosts file only lists aliases for ip-addresses. For example:
192.168.0.1 foo bar foo.com bar.com
If that line is in the hosts file, then you can use the host-names foo, bar, foo.com and bar.com to reach the computer with ip-address 192.168.0.1.
If the computer, or the service you want to reach on that address, is not online, you can't reach it no matter what you have in your hosts file.
If you are willing to map your local development environment to a domain name, you can edit the domain name in hosts file and map it to 127.0.0.1, which is the loopback address.
That way, any requests done to that particular domain will fallback to your local machine.
You can also assign different LAN/WAN IP addresses.
When your development phase is done, you can remove the entry.
I would not recommend doing so, stick with the localhost and just make use of that to test virtualhosts setup or some sort of domain based configurations.
If there is anything else I can answer, please don't hesitate to post further comments on my answer.
If you mean to respond to HTTP requests then you need a Web Server configured to respond to any host (or that specific host name) on port 80. If you are not using it for anything else IIS can do this1 – configure it to return 404 (not found) or some other relatively neutral fail response.
1 If IIS is already being used then things get much harder, later versions of IIS are more flexible either with a combination of using HTTP.SYS to allow other applications to respond to certain URLs or using different Web Sites in IIS (until Windows 7, or maybe Vista, only available on Server editions of Windows).

Redirect Loop Problem for Web Policy Agent?

I followed the installation guide for an Apache Web Policy Agent, but it always results in an endless redirect loop between web and application server. Firefox says "The page isn't redirecting properly" and Chrome thinks that "This webpage has a redirect loop". The setup is an Apache 2 on port 80 with a small demo app and a Web Policy Agent, and a Tomcat 7 server on port 8080 with an OpenAM server (the former OpenSSO from Sun):
App URL http://hostname.example.com:80/ (App and Agent, running on Apache 2.2.16)
OpenAM Server URL http://hostname.example.com:8080/openam (running on Tomcat 7.0.12)
The Live HTTP Header Firefox plugin shows that the policy agent and the OpenAM server (i.e. the Apache and Tomcat servers) redirect to each other, although the server sets the SSO Token Cookie correctly. The name of the SSO Token Cookie has the default value "iPlanetDirectoryPro". Any idea how to solve the problem?
After a whole week I finally figured it out, with the help of Stackoverflow and the OpenAM Mailing list. There were two main problems: missing log files and missing cookie domains. Installing the OpenAM server and the Web Policy Agent is difficult, there are a lot of log files and many different configuration options. If you select the wrong options, it won't work. It is impossible to make it work without knowing what is going on, which can only be determined by a suitable log file.
Missing Log for Web Policy Agent : The log level must be set in the "Java properties" files. There are two "Java Properties" files for the Web Policy Agent, OpenSSOAgentBootstrap.properties and OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties. The log and debug level which is named com.sun.identity.agents.config.debug.level can and must be defined in both (!) files, and it should be set to the high level, all:4 or all:5. The format is important. Even if you do this, the AgentConfiguration.properties file is only used when the agent is not working in centralized config mode. The profile must be set to "local".
Missing Cookie Domain: Do not forget to enter the right Cookie Domain during the setup of the OpenAM server in the beginning, or add it afterwards if it is missing. On the OpenAM server, go to Configuration > System > Platform and change the Cookie Domain Value to your domain (for instace .example.com) if it is missing. Otherwise the browser will lose your cookie during the redirect process. Somehow I had an empty entry for the cookie domain at the OpenAM server, I guess a forgot a dot (example.com instead of .example.com) so that it was invalid (or something like that).
This troubleshooting site was helpful to locate the problem.
#0x4a6f4672, Your post was absolutely helpful . Some more to add to your answer. The following changes is what i had to do in the config to make it running, at-least getting it running it for alfresco.
com.sun.identity.agents.config.user.mapping.mode=USER_ID(Dont use HTTP_HEADER)
com.sun.identity.agents.config.user.attribute.name=uid
com.sun.identity.agents.config.user.principal=true(Dont use false)
com.sun.identity.agents.config.user.token=SsoUserHeader(Keep it as per what is specified in you application- in my case alfresco)
Now you are not running the Agent in centralised mode but in local mode the setting which is specified for profile attribute can be only set via property file so add the following.
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.fetch.mode=HTTP_HEADER
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[uid]=SsoUserHeader(whatever you want the header to come in browser as)
As told by 0x4a6f4672, it is difficult to debug and unless you are in local mode , so switch to local mode immediately and start tracing the logs and make the property changes accordingly.

silverlight accept invalid certificate

I'm doing https web requests in silverlight using "WebRequest"/"WebResponse" framework classes.
Problem is: I do a request to an url like: https://12.34.56.78
I receive back a versign signed certificate which has as subject a domain name like: www.mydomain.com.
Hence this results in a remote certificate mismatch error.
First question: Can I somehow accept the invalid certificate, and get the WebBresponse content ? (even if it involves using other libraries, I'm open to it)
Additional details: (for those interested on why I need this scenario)
I'm trying to give a client access to a silverlight app deployed on a test server.
Client accesses the silverlight app at: www.mydomain.com/app
Then I do some rest requests to: https://xx.mydomain.com
Problem is I don't want to do requests on https://xx.mydomain.com, since that is on our productive server. For this reason I use https://12.34.56.78 instead of https://xx.mydomain.com.
Client has some firewalls/proxies and if I simply change his hosts file and map https://xx.mydomain.com to 12.34.56.78, web requests don't resolve to the mapped IP.
I say this because on his network webrequests fail if I try that, on my network I can use the hosts changing without problems.
UPDATE: Fixed the problem by deploying test releases to an alternative: https://yy.domain.com and allowing the user to configure for test purposes, the base url to which I do requests to be: https://yy.domain.com.
Using an certificate that contained the IP in the subject or an alternative subject would've probably worked too, but would have cost some money to be issued by a certified provider and would not be so good because IP's might change.
After doing more research looks like Microsoft won't add this feature too soon, unless there's a scenario for non-testing/debugging uses.
