Dell openmanage and Nimbus monitoring – SNMP Traps

Start Dell openmange.

Goto System -> Alert Management -> SNMP Traps.

Select all the information you want sent to Nimbus

Now startup services in adminsitration tools, and right click on SNMP Services and choice Properties.
Go to Traps, and type community name, in my example it is appmanager, and the traps destionations should be the nimbus server or where you are going to install the snmptd agents in nimbus.

No go into nimbus and install snmptd and dom_traps on the host where you will monitoring the Dell openmanage hardware.
And then go to host, and right click on snmptd agents, and choice configure.

ipsec Services: Only one usage of each socket address protocol network address port is normally permitted.

I have a servers that would not connect to the Internet, if I ping the gateway it says that:

Destination unreachable.

i found that the IPSec service was not stated. And if I start it it say: Only one usage of each socket address protocol network address port is normally permitted.

i found that there have been some problems after install

After Installing MS08-037 (951746 and 951748)

The solution was to reserved som port in the TCP/IP protocol

Here is the list of ports that we have seen conflicts with services on the machine.

  • 1645-1646 – Used by IAS
  • 1701-1701 – Used by L2TP
  • 1812-1813 – Used by IAS
  • 2883-2883 – Used by AUTD
  • 4500-4500 – Used by IPSEC

For now we are suggesting customers be proactive and modify the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\ReservedPorts

I also found this in my event viewer

A significant number of invalid certificates have been provided by remote IP address 205.188.153.55 / 64.12.162.248

AOL has change there Root Certificate.
You can download them at https://pki-info.aol.com/AOL/

These 2 need to be imported in all Office Communication Server T – rusted Root Certification Authorities

There errors is belov

Multiple invalid incoming certificates.

In the past 1185 minutes the server received 12 invalid incoming certificates. The last one was from host 64.12.162.248.
Cause: This can happen if a remote server presents an invalid certificate due to an incorrect configuration or an attacker.
Resolution:
No action needed unless the number of failures is large. Contact the administrator of the host sending the invalid certificate and resolve this problem.

Over the past 0 minutes Office Communications Server has experienced TLS outgoing connection failures 1 time(s). The error code of the last failure is 0x80090325 (The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) while trying to connect to the host “sip.oscar.aol.com”.

Cause: Wrong principal error could happen if the peer presents a certificate whose subject name does not match the peer name. Certificate root not trusted error could happen if the peer certificate was issued by remote CA that is not trusted by the local machine.

In the past 0 minutes the server received 1 invalid incoming certificates. The last one was from host 64.12.162.248.

Cause: This can happen if a remote server presents an invalid certificate due to an incorrect configuration or an attacker.

Remote principal name is not configured in trusted server list.

After buying a CA sign certificate from Geotrust i got this in my Event viewer:

Remote principal name is not configured in trusted server list.

The subject name sip.XXX.com of the certificate assigned to process AVMCUSvc(1788) was not found in the trusted server list.
Certificate serial number: OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority, O=Equifax, C=US
Certificate issuer name: 0DA2A3.
Cause: Incorrect setup of the pool. Should never happen.
Resolution:
Verify that the Subject Name of the certificate presented by the remote peer is configured in the trusted server list.

cd “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2\ResKit”
cscript OCSTrustEntry.vbs /action:add /FQDN:sip.XXXX.com /type:TrustedServer

Its was solved by uninstall KB974571.

Microsoft recommends to postpone installing KB974571 on any LCS 2005 / OCS 2007 /OCS 2007 R2 servers.

Microsoft is investigating this issue, and will determine the most appropriate way to address it. Customers who are not running OCS or LCS server are not affected by this known issue, and can safely ignore this issue.

Customers who have deployed the OCS or LCS product on a server should assess the risk that is involved to decide whether to install the security update on that server. These customers should revisit this Knowledge Base article often, because this article will be updated as soon as more information and a resolution are available.
