Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS
WebSAMS Architecture
WebSAMS Requirements
WebSAMS server can access Internet without passing through proxy
WebSAMS server can access HTTPS web site, e.g.:
E.g. www.hsbc.com.hk logon
HTTP server can access Internet without passing through proxy
Support NAT port mapping, e.g.:
202.123.219.100
10.128.15.150
TCP 80,443,7010
Allow traffic from DMZ HTTP to WebSAMS server
TCP 8009
TCP 7009
TCP 8109 (1 Server 2 WebSAMS)

Network Architecture ( cont’d )
3 types of WebSAMS users
WebSAMS user
ITED user
Internet user
HTTP server is simply a relay server which forwards all the requests to the WebSAMS server
The HTTP server itself does not store any data
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 6
Network Architecture ( cont’d )
Accessing WebSAMS by URL
Determined by Domain Name Server (DNS)
Accessing the WebSAMS server from different subnets or networks will use different IP addresses
Examples:
WebSAMS users:
websams.schabc.edu.hk => 10.128.30.150
ITED users:
websams.schabc.edu.hk => 10.128.15.150 / 192.168.0.3
Internet users:
websams.schabc.edu.hk => 202.123.219.100

Router ( between WebSAMS and ITED )
HTTP Server connect to WebSAMS server
Using TCP 8009 for production
Using TCP 7009 for training

WebSAMS server can access Internet without passing through proxy
TCP 80 ( HTTP )
TCP 443 ( HTTPS )
TCP/UDP 53 ( DNS )
TCP 25 ( SMTP )
TCP 110 ( POP3 )

Internet Gateway
Separate Internet and ITED
2 interfaces - one for real IP and another for internal IP
It could be:
Hardware firewall ( e.g. SonicWALL , Cisco PIX, Netscreen,
CheckPoint, and so on … )
Proxy server with NAT function
Router with NAT function
Linux server ( 2 interface cards , using iptables or ipchains + ipmasqadm )
Windows server ( 2 interface cards , routing and remote access )
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 10
DMZ
It is called “Demilitarized Zone”
A separated area between Internet and Local Area
Network
Internet gateway should has at least 3 interfaces to support DMZ, such as Internet, ITED LAN segment &
DMZ
Provide services opened to public
Aggregate servers, such as FTP server, Web server, and so on, in a restricted area
Help to minimize impact to LAN in case of school network being hacked

Translate the IP address from one network to other network
Typically one is inside and one is outside

Backup in HTTP Server
Back up the New (SUSE Linux Enterprise 11) HTTP server setting to a floppy or a USB drive
Use command “ fdisk -l ” to check USB device name e.g.: sda1, sda2 or sdb1…,etc.
Use command “ grepconfig ” / “ grepconfig /dev/{USB device name}
(For 1 Server 2 WebSAMS environment, use “ grepconfig_1s2s ”)
”.
Run the command when HTTP server is running in good condition
Those files can be copied to any Windows storage for backup purpose

3. For more security, you may deny the access to port TCP
443 in the Internet gateway
In the firewall, deny the network accessing to port TCP 443, except the IP addresses of the Primary & Secondary CDS
Servers to allow packets passing through this port.
This action requires efforts from vendors or support staff in school who possess special knowledge and experience on security and firewall.

Check whether ITED client PC has resolved the IP
DNS problem / DHCP problem
Proxy client problem ?
Check using “Internet Explorer” on the ITED client PC
Check whether the ITED client PC uses proxy in IE ?
Confirm whether HTTP server has been started up & the ‘Pass Phrase’ has been entered?
Idle 25 seconds > rcapache2 restart
In HTTP server, do the test by typing:

Success Sample
Failure Sample
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 87
1. ITED / Internet cannot access WebSAMS
( cont’d )
If succeed, it must be ITED segment problem
If fail, it could be:
HTTP server crash
HTTP server wrong setting
WebSAMS’s router wrong setting ( or reset )
School firewall setting if HTTP server in DMZ
If it can load SSL prompt, that means HTTP running smoothly.
Otherwise, it may be HTTP setting or router setting problem
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 88
1. ITED / Internet cannot access WebSAMS
( cont’d )
ITED can access WebSAMS successfully but Internet cannot. The problem is due to:
Hosting registration of WebSAMS domain name in Internet
Internet Gateway problem ( port mapping )
HTTP server’s Default Gateway setting is wrong
It should be set to the Internet Gateway which performs port mapping
Type “route” in Linux command line to show default gateway setting
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 89
2. Unable to connect CDS
It may be caused by:
Network connection of WebSAMS server has ever broken a short period
Wrong URL of the Primary and Secondary CDS Extensions in
WebSAMS at “CDS > Transmission > Schedule Transmission”
Wrong Internet Gateway setting
Wrong WebSAMS router setting
In WebSAMS server, try to connect Internet without passing through proxy
Go to (www.hsbc.com.hk) then click “logon” to test whether https URL works or not;
Try to ping: cdsx1.websams.edb.gov.hk and cdsx2.websams.edb.gov.hk
If fail, it may be DNS problem
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 90
2. Unable to connect CDS ( cont’d )
Nearly 95% of network problem with the message of
“Unable to connect CDS” could not pass the following testing.
e.g. Internet Gateway did not allow WebSAMS server access
Internet e.g. WebSAMS router setting had a wrong ACL or wrong default route
A very special case may happen that CDS can send but cannot receive messages.
Under our investigation , it may be caused by the ISP and network setting
Solution :
Implement “packet-too-big” into router setting
Sep 2015 Seminar on Server, Network and Security for WebSAMS B - 91
3. Unable to back up
Hardware failure or no free space of hard disk in NAS
Besides, over 95% of cases are due to the following 3 reasons :
Backup task is configured wrongly
Backup task spends too much time that causes post_backup starting early than estimation
The administrator password in system does not synchronize with one from backup batch jobs
For case 3 above, we need to :
Change the password in pre_backup , post_backup
Change the password in Backup software
All password settings must be same as system administrator password

Other FAQ sharing
1. Unable to access WebSAMS after WebSAMS server rebooted.
Ans: Suggest accessing the WebSAMS Training System.
If it works normally, user may wrongly start WebSAMS in
“WebSAMS_T” folder. For production service, it should start WebSAMS in “WebSAMS” folder.
If it is still unable to access, suggest user to ensure there is no interruption on the command mode process on the server (Apache and JBoss). E.g. The process will be stopped if the mouse cursor has been dragged in the command window. In this case, the service can be resumed by right-clicking the mouse in the command window.
2. How to update the license of Trend Micro ServerProtect?
