This morning, something wierd happened with our Active Directory.
We have a website that authenticates users against our Active Directory. It has worked flawlessly for weeks. The code involving this has never changed. When I launch a copy of the website on my local computer within the IDE (VS2008), it authenticates users correctly, and determines what groups they belong to correctly. When I navigate to the actual website though, it authenticates but fails to retrieve any group information. While I am open to the possibility that it would be code, I am very skeptical of this since the code has not changed since the last time it was working, which was yesterday.
I wrote a quick app using the same exact programming code, but in a compiled WinForm instead of a webpage. The App can authenticate and retrieve all the groups flawlessly. So it is just the website that, all of the sudden, cannot access the groups. I am sure this is relevant, but I am not sure how =)
Being a programmer and not a Server Admin, I am unsure where to begin in hunting down this problem and will appreciate any assistance the community at large can provide.
If you have anonymous browsing turned off, check to see that the account the web app is running under has the correct permission.

I had two custom domains on my setup. Now one is not there, the domain in question, www.emlakair.com is still working and pointing to the app engine code, but missing from the developers console. The other domain is www.catchamove.com. This is working also and visible under custom domains.
I have not done anything with the custom domains since they have been working so no changes on my part there. However, I have recently setup an account on with Google's search console and both the same domains are listing on there. My domain settings remain unchanged since verification of the domain first time around and everything seems fine that end.
Does anyone have a clue, I could try to re-verify the missing domain but that will mean changing the CNAME record and that will take the domain down for a while.
Here is the CNAME record data:
Can anyone from Google or anyone else for that matter explain this or provide a solution.
Thanks
Ok, I just had to re-verify again. But why? It would be nice to get some answers as to why a custom domain falls of the face of the map without explanation, yet still manages to point to the app engine project code no problem?
However, there is one anomaly still remaining and that is the other custom domain www.catchamove.com is showing A and AAA records on the developers console, but www.catchamove.com is setup with a CNAME record on my DNS management system, but it is working at the moment.
Setting: Exchange Web Services (EWS), Exchange Server 2007 SP2, and an ASP.Net web application.
Problem: in the system we use EWS to send emails, sometimes we use extended properties to track more information. This module had been working fine for a long time until a couple of weeks ago, and I am not sure why or what is causing the Active Directory is unavailable error!!
The thing is that there is no pattern (or I am not able to find one so far), sometimes it works fine and sometimes I get the AD error.
I've been searching for more info about this error and didnt find much!
After long investigation and the help of our IT support team, the problem was with one of the Active Directory servers (not sure what was wrong with it) but all requests that went to this server gave this error, they took it down or restarted it and everything worked again
I have been successfully using Netbeans to develop and deploy an app to the Google App Engine for ages through various application versions. That is all working normally and fine.
However (the problem), through the same account I created a new application (at the Google end) and at the application end the correct application id is in appengine-web.xml with a version of 1. All runs locally perfectly. But as soo as I deploy to GAE it fails:
com.google.appengine.tools.admin.HttpIoException: Error posting to URL:
404 Not Found
This application does not exist
Unable to update app: Error posting to URL: https://appengine.google.com/api/appversion/create?app_id=
404 Not Found
This application does not exist (app_id=u
Why??????
I have spent hours looking through the web for a solution. Lots of people have a similar problem but what is the solution? How can one app upload fine and the second fails?
PLEASE can someone give me some suggestions on how to fix the problem and successfully deploy?
I use Netbeans and have tried 6.9, 7.1, and 7.2 (I even tried installing Eclipse to solve the problem but it was horrendous to get going so I'm back to Netbeans). JDK 1.6.
Help!
Of course it works this way. After finally seeking help (from you chaps), within minutes I solve the problem (blind luck).
In case it helps anyone else, the basic issue was Google's account authentication model...
I needed to generate an application-specific password in Google Accounts (https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodes - that is, the Authorized Access to your Google Account area) to be used with the new application.
Then I needed to clear the existing email/password in Netbeans. This is a bit messy as I did that by deleting the 'deployment.properties' file you eventually find in C:\Users\User.netbeans\7.1\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\j2ee\appengine.
You'll note I went back to Netbeans 7.1 because Netbeans 7.2 seems to store it in a different place which I couldn't find.
Back to Netbeans and hit the 'Deploy to Google App Engine' menu choice. It starts then asks for authentication. I used my normal (account) emailid and then the NEW application specific password. Miracle of miracles, it worked and the app fired up live.
I went and got a coffee
Perhaps Google could provide a slightly more meaningful error code than 404 Not Found???
Hopefully that helps anyone else with a similar problem.
Today, I had kind of the same problem. After some trial and error I found the solution.
Basically, starting from Netbeans 7.2. up, username and password are stored in something called "keyring".
In Windows 8 I found it under my current users directory: AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3.1\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\keyring.
I had to delete the GAE password information from the configuration file there. Then I cleared some registry keys (that might not be mandatory) and restarted Netbeans IDE. Then got prompted for new credentials.

We currently have a Silverlight application which is hosted in a SharePoint 2010 page. The Silverlight app makes web service calls to a another server on our domain, which has a clientaccesspolicy file in place. We are experiencing cross-domain issues in our production environment.
Users in the farm admin group can use the Silverlight application without any issues. However, all other users recieve the generic cross domain exception when they try to use this app. We have attached Fiddler to the process and noticed that the farm admins are served the clientaccesspolicy file, but that non-admin users are not. In fact, Fiddler does not ever show an attempt to load this file for non-admins.
This only happens in our production environment, which leads me to believe there is a web config or permission setting causing the issue. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything that backs this up.
Has anyone else run into this issue or know if such a setting exists?
See comments above. I had to change the URL to use the full machine name i.e. from webserver/service.svc to webserver.domain.com/service.svc. It solved the problem but doesn't answer the question about why the farm admins could access it. vorrtex's response is the best possible explanation I have seen so far.
I'm using Google App Engine for a number of sites I host.
As of a short time ago GAE won't allow me to login via the usual.
https://appengine.google.com/a/websitename.com
It keeps telling me that I'm "Unauthorized." I.e I can't access the dashboard for any of my apps!
This was working fine as of a few days ago and I've not made any changes.
Is there any way that I can sort this out? I.e. can I remotely add a role to my app for example. Is there another way of logging into the dashboard etc?
Any help would be fantastic as this is really causing me serious problems.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
If you're trying to reach the app dashboard, the proper url format for the moment is https://appengine.google.com/dashboard?&app_id=some_app_id. That being said, you shouldn't depend too much on that as it's an implementation detail that's subject to change whenever.
Next time, try visiting http://appengine.google.com/ for the list of apps your account has access to.
