Stage 4, Day 2

JB: I am researching information on Clonezilla and Xenconvert.  Our team discussed which of these to use and we believe that Clonezilla might be the better option.

- All teams recreated key pair and shared out their public keys  
- File for sharing copied to SFTP server and encrypted with our public key

Day 13

JB: Created first page last week for our whole class.  Ran through html and php scripts and all seems to be working fine.  Turned over code to Chris for enhancement.  

JB:  Today we experienced a glitch and I'm trying to fix it.  Last Friday our page came up fine, now we cannot get to it either from the outside or internally.  Working the issue.

Day 12 Stage 2

8/16/2013

YK: Downloaded the updated version for Gpg4win 2.1.1 and created a public and private key for my team, tested them and gave copies to each member, also helped set up keys for other teams.

To generate keys you first go to file and select new certificate, to extract a public key you click on export certificates and then you write click the certificate and click export secret keys to get the private key.

Day 11

JB/Jareth:  Fixed problem caused by SKS by reloading Ubuntu server.  Also successfully reloaded and configured SKS.  Assisted other teams in doing same.

Day 10

JB:  Installing xlite on Windows & Ubuntu boxes, and Ekiga on Ubuntu as a backup just in case. 

Day 9

JB:  Setup Trixbox with help of team1 members.  Also configured Untangle for DHCP access with scope and lease limit.  Assisted other teams (3 & 4) to do the same.

Day 08 Stage 01

Today all of the teams are able to mutually send emails internally+Send externally only. end

Day 08 Stage 1

JB: documented configuration settings to date for Zimbra & Untangle. All team members are involved in the project and we are progressing nicely.

Day 07 Stage 1

Today we were just trying to connect to internally through the Zimbra Server. We created a Zimbra email account for each person in our EAGLE TEAM (looks better in caps). Every person followed the basic process of creating one, we didn't change any default configs. We also changed the Alias of our FQDN to something less shorter (team1.edu). So far we haven't had success sending or receiving email within our NET. Our classmate Chris will help us on the episode, because he thinks he might know the issue.

Day 06 Stage 1

Our Class worked on the midterm today. We had to figure our the ports that needed to be changed within Untangle, LAMP, Zimbra, and TrixBox SERVERS and then we had to virtually create PORT FORWARDING RULES WITHIN ROUTER (UNTANGLE), and we also had to enter IPs, FQDNs, WANs, LANs, and DNS's information into a Diagram.

We will be installing Zimbra server TODAY!

UPDATE:
YK: Today, our EAGLE TEAM installed ZIMBRA MAIL SERVER successfully, We run into two errors that KELLY has mentioned before, and as he said we just IGNORED them and moved on. All of our services within ZIMBRA ran awesomely fine and that Including: SPAM FILTER, ANTIVIRUS and SO ON....
A trick to be able to log in as an ADMIN through the WEB BROWSER is to change the password for the account "ZIMBRA" which we had NO idea it existed and it goes like this---> |passwd zimbra| (all lower cased)

Monday we will be helping our CLASSMATES to set up ZIMBRA with the correct configurations. Some TEAMS have already installed ZIMBRA but not as AWESOMELY as US (no! we're not being arrogant). They did not installed it correctly! After we will be done helping them, WE will move on to INSTALL some CRUCIAL components into UNTANGLE SERVER. HERE IS THE LIST (supposedly this had to be done before installing ZIMBRA, but well, it's not my job to prioritize things):

- Web Filter – Prevents access to undesirable web sites
- Virus Blocker – Prevents viruses from reaching computers on the network
- Spam Blocker – Stops junk email from getting through
- Attack Blocker – Stops denial of service (DOS) attacks
- Phish Blocker - Protects people from identity theft "phishing"
- Spyware Blocker - Protects people from websites that install malware
- Firewall - Hides your network from the Internet
- Intrusion Prevention – Protects the network from hackers
- OpenVPN – Allows secure remote access to the internal network
- Reports - Shows who is doing what online Automatic updates

You guys have a BLAZING weekend.
