Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I have posted here. Mostly because I have not run into any frustrating issues recently. However this problem really racked my brain until I figured it out. I was troubleshooting an issue where connecting to a site using any of the PowerShell commands to get web data triggered … Continue reading “The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive” when running WGET, CURL or Invoke-WebRequest on Windows in Powershell

Changing java security restriction for “Network connect error” issue in KVM
This article is a godsend. Thank you Xiaoxiaoke!!!
Updated as of 11/2020 – the problematic item under disabledAlgorithms is “anon”, you can just remove that line item instead of removing all the other items in the list.
Additionally, running the jar from browser seems to always fail. There is a trick you can use to go into Java and launch the Jar from the Temporary Files button under the General tab in the Java control panel.

Environment: Dell KVM 4322DS

1. Add the KVM IP into the exception site list
Open Control Panel -> Java
In Java Control Panel -> select Security tab -> Edit Site List -> Add the KVM IP “http://X.X.X.X”
Open the file as admin: Windows -> Program Files (x86) -> Java -> jre1.8.0_51 -> lib -> security -> java.security
2. Comment out the line with the key jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
3. Add this…

Changing CUPS to run on Port 443 with SELinux
When setting up a check printing environment for a client, I ran into an issue where even though I changed the /etc/cupsd.conf file to listen on port 443, the service would not actually start! Why not use the CUPS default port 631? Simple answer - too many of the client's Palo Alto firewalls were configured … Continue reading Changing CUPS to run on Port 443 with SELinux
