heartbleed centOS6.5

Wondering if NSA already knew about heartbleed and was cracking google and FB and other servers so far.

now that its out people are rushing to fix it and we are also.

I saw a great into to heartbleed at http://vimeo.com/91425662

so if you run this it would tell you what version of openssl nginx is using
ldd `which nginx` | grep ssl
        libssl.so.10 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 (0x00007f6d0c0cf000) 

and now if you do this it would tell you if you are vulnerable 
strings /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 | grep "^OpenSSL "
OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

if you have anything between 1.0.1. and 1.0.1f you are vulnerable, perconna guys have a nice post on same http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2014/04/08/openssl-heartbleed-cve-2014-0160/

CentOS has released patch to current stable release and to fix all you need to do is update centOS or recompile nginx and disable heartbleed.

to update centOS  run "sudo yum update openssl" and restart services using openssl like nginx,mysql,apache.

 to verify if its fixed run

Haproxy and tomcat JSESSIONID

One of the biggest problems I have been trying to solve at our startup is to put our tomcat nodes in HA mode. Right now if a customer comes, he lands on to a node and remains there forever. This has two major issues: 1) We have to overprovision each node with ability to handle worse case capacity. 2) If two or three high profile customers lands on to same node then we need to move them manually. 3) We need to cut over new nodes and we already have over 100+ nodes.  Its a pain managing these nodes and I waste lot of my time in chasing node specific issues. I loath when I know I have to chase this env issue. I really hate human intervention as if it were up to me I would just automate thing and just enjoy the fruits of automation and spend quality time on major issues rather than mundane task,call me lazy but thats a good quality. So Finally now I am at a stage where I can put nodes behing HAProxy in QA env. today we were testing the HA config and first problem I immediat...

Spring 3.2 quartz 2.1 Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.

I am trying to enable HA on nodes and in that process I found that in a two test node setup a job that has a frequency of 10 sec was running into deadlock. So I tried upgrading from Quartz 1.8 to 2.1 by following the migration guide but I ran into an exception that says "Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.". After looking into spring and Quartz code I figured out that now Quartz is more strict and earlier the scheduler.addJob had a replace parameter which if passed to true would skip the durable check, in latest quartz this is fixed but spring hasnt caught up to this. So what do you do, well I jsut inherited the factory and set durability to true and use that public class DurableJobDetailFactoryBean extends JobDetailFactoryBean {     public DurableJobDetailFactoryBean() {         setDurability(true);     } } and used this instead of JobDetailFactoryBean in the spring bean definition     <bean i...
