It can be your school letters (e.g. CHS = Crickhowell High School)

I feel like I'm nearly there now!

I have an error still that looks like this...

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Has anyone seen this error before??

thanks

Looks like you are missing your section in the Web.config, or the line that is there has somehting other than ADConnectionString in the name attribute. Not sure which line it should be in v6 though.

Also, is that space in the connectionUsername meant to be there?

Weird the space if not in the config file but appeared when I pasted the text!

You seem to be missing this section of the web.config file

mmm?

Is what I have.

That all looks OK to me?

Is there a guide for setting up the lastest config file? The youtube guide seems to be for an older version.

Thanks

Thanks

Are there any plans to bring back a config tool? The web.config is a pain to reconfigure each time.

nickbro · April 21, 2011

Will start working on a new one for the 6.1 release. Hopefully I'll make it so the new one saves as it goes along and has some error reporting feedback

Brilliant. I'll hold fire on upgrading for a bit.

nickbro · April 21, 2011

I'm pleased the announce the release of the HAP+ Config Tool for v6

Download from Home Access Plus+ - Download: v6.0

Enjoy.

The Home Page links still require manual editing of the web.config.

The exe on codeplex is a self extracting RAR file which auto runs the HAP+ Config Tool (asks where HAP+ is installed), if you don't want it to bug you about where HAP+ is, using WINRAR extract the contents (2 files) to ~/bin/

Note: Remember to untick the readonly option for the ~/web.config

Changes due in 6.1:

New Home Page Layout (using some features from the HAP+ User Card)
Drive Space Indicators in the Basic My Computer Browser
Image Thumbnails in the Basic My Computer Browser
More updates to the Config Tool
Get File Type Icons from Registry (will use icons in the ~/images/ folder 1st (higher res))
Anything else I think of

reggiep · April 22, 2011

Thanks Nick. Amazingly quick update!

Netwacky87 · April 22, 2011

Hiya,

Im not quite sure what im doing wrong with regard to the User Card, but whenever I launch the program it waits about 6 seconds then quits with an "unexpected error"...Ive checked the config and all seems right (Ive even checked our internet logs to see if it goes to the HAP site but no )

Just had a thought, I am running it on Windows 7 x64? Would that make a difference?

Thanks Mart! - Brilliant work Nick!

Check that you can access https://%yoursite%/extranet/usercard/api.asmx without a username & password.

Hi Nick,

Yea I can, it gives this...

The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description. 

GetFreeSpacePercentage 

getInit 

getMyTickets 

getPhoto 

setNewTicket

I also have a problem with the Enhanced version of HAP, it doesnt display any drives but the basic one works fine...

Cheers

Mart

nickbro · April 22, 2011

It'll be down to quota/drive space indicators if both the user card and Enhanced MC Browser aren't working. Edited April 22, 2011 by nickbro

Netwacky87 · April 22, 2011

Nope sorry, cant figure this one out, Ive cancelled out the quota bit in web.config...

Ive even just deleted my whole installation and started from scratch and it doesnt work (ive even installed the quota service and done that bit of the web.config) and no go

It used to work before v6....

nickbro · April 22, 2011

Can you post the MyComputer section of your web.config

Netwacky87 · April 22, 2011

Cheers Nick, Do appreciate it!

(Ive removed the server name but everything else is the same)

Here is the error on the Enhanced version page of HAP

are you running over HTTP? That would be the problem. HAP+ advanced features need HTTPS' Transport Layer Security to work. Also the username/passwords are being sent in the clear over http, https encrypts them

Netwacky87 · April 22, 2011

Ah Ok! Thanks, When I saw yours going to https I wondered about that...I was trying to avoid paying for an SSL certificate lol

Thanks again Nick, Ill give that a try!

Mart

nickbro · April 22, 2011

Use a free SSL cert from StartSSL if you have a proper domain like myschool.org.uk, since you can be verified as the owner.

http://www.startssl.com/ is supported natively in Windows Vista, 7 and I think in XP now too.
