How to import self signed certs as trusted certs into JDK? This is needed in order to access web sites within Java Applications E.g. https enabled WebService URLs.

- get the binary CER format of the cert. This can be done by vieweing the web site in IE, view the cert when IE shows the warning, do an export which will save to a file

- create a keystore using the JDK keytool

- import the cert into the keystore using the -import option using keytool

- import the cert into the JDK`s trusted store (cacerts) using the storetype as jks. The default password for this keystore is changeit

My Laptop doesnt have a Mic and i was using an external mic all these days..Today the mic died. But i was in an urgent need of a Mic.

Suddenly i thought, whether i can use my BT handsfree as an external Mic, with my BT enabled Laptop.

Enabled Headset profile on my Laptop BT manager and Voila, my BT handsfree paired with my Laptop and I got an wireless/handfree external Mic.

FYI, mine is a HP zt3000 laptop and Motorola HS815 Handsfree Headset

we all know that buffer overflow is a security vulnerability. There is a way to prevent this in FC3/RHEL4, using FORTIFY_SOURCE compiler option.

I have used several H/W based LBs in the past, like Cisco Director, Resonate ..Recently I had a need for S/W based LBs for a product prototype.

For HTTP as well as SIP.

I have decided to go with the following

http://plb.sunsite.dk/ (for Web Servers)

http://www.vovida.org/applications/downloads/loadbalancer/ (for SIP Proxies)

They both support Linux and also does automatic probing of backend servers.

I have used tripwire to verify the various file system changes, when i was working on a linux based network device product . This was needed to estimate the runtime storage needed, since we used compact flash instead of HDD.

How about getting real time file system change events to ur program? iNotify exactly does this. Its a event based mechanism which notifies the application with various events like DELETE, CREATE , MOVED etc
