Linux Password of The Day


JamesL

Question

Afternoon All,

 

Not usually my thing but felt the need to get some feedback on the aforementioned matter.

 

Does anybody else have an issue with requests for Linux Password of The Day from OpenGI Support these days? When I worked there no more than 12 months ago TREM (Linux PWOTD) was allowed to be given out to any broker that requested it. The TRIPOS Password of The Day is not allowed to be given as it is the 'master key' to the OpenGI System that support use in place of standard usernames or logins. 

 

More so recently there has been reluctance to provide the linux password? What are other brokers experiences? Does anybody else seem to suffer the same problem?

 

Cheers.

Hi Ben,

 

Cheers for the response.

 

We are reviewing our DR procedures and Business Continuity Plans. This includes being able to recover failed or failing devices/servers in our environment. For example SQL Server that runs Infocentre that drives numerous operations in the business such as Lead Management, Management Information and is part of our core systems for our Telematics Brand.

 

We have recently replaced our InfoCentre SQL Server and would not have been able to facilitate the switch-over out of Business Hours without access to Linux Passwords.

 

Regards

James,

 

This is also an issue for us. I am currently in discussion with our account manager and other senior figures at OpenGi to continue recieving the TREM PWOTD. We have been requesting this on an ad hoc basis for some time with no real issue, but have come up against some resistance recently.

 

I am in fact waiting for an official response. Watch this space!

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

You will be able to make the necessary changes via the InfoCentre Plus web interface.  You can then use the lrun commands to restart InfoCentre Plus.

In addition, if you used the same DNS name for the SQL server you replaced, a reboot of Core will allow it to mount the share folder.

 

If you have a separate DR server, you can have this preconfigured to a separate SQL server.

 

I hope this helps.

    • "Exciting news for Brokers!" ???     #nope Critical mass Target customer size and profile On line only #whataboutthemasses   What do you think??
    • Hi Claire,   We took on INVU back in 2008 and still use it today in its Virtual Cabinet guise. No issues with printing from VC whether that be to network printers or pdf and there are also options to send from VC to email which can be useful.    Overall, we remain very happy with VC so have seen no real advantage to move over to OpenAttach.   One little issue is we never managed to get the automatic indexing / filing of standard OGI/OpenWord letters and emails into VC. We just click a few buttons to file them manually.   Happy to chat through further if you wish - I will be at the Members day this coming Thursday    Darren
    • Hi @Clare Carter   I probably cant advise on day to day use / issues, but may be able to help although not sure of your question   Are you still on Virtual Cabinet (VC) and how are you trying to print on OGI - and what / where from   Also - I'm pretty sure there are minimal issues with transferring to OpenAttach - what are the concerns there?  
    • Just wondering if any of the current members have previously been using Virtual Cabinet, and which originally was Invu provided by Linden House.   It is only relatively recently that Open GI have come up with Open Attach but there is an issue in transferring data.   If anyone is still using Virtual Cabinet which evolved from Invu and Linden House, could they let me know whether they had any issues with Open GI and printing.    Thanks
