Meeting Fail-Over with Adobe Connect 9

Problem:= In Adobe Connect version 9 Meeting Room failover does not work with clustered environment

Scenario:= Start a meeting and use Help>Shift>About Connect to determine which server the meeting is hosted on and then conduct and orderly shutdown of that server. The meeting room should failover automatically to the corresponding node which is up, but due to a bug in version 9 failover does not work. So we have to remove hosted reference from substitution.xml files to make it work.

Solution:= Remove the following entries from ‘C:\breeze\comserv\linux\conf \Substitution.xml’ and ‘C:\breeze\comserv\win32\conf\ Substitution.xml’.

<KeyValueFile>${ROOT}/../../appserv/conf/hosted.ini</KeyValueFile>

Restart the services of Adobe Connect and Flash Media server and then test the failover. It should work fine.

The bug number for this issue is #3176707

Connectusers.com Forum Outage Following Database Compromise

Adobe is currently investigating reports of a compromise of a Connectusers.com forum database. These reports first started circulating late during the day on Tuesday, November 13, 2012. At this point of our investigation, it appears that the Connectusers.com forum site was compromised by an unauthorized third party. It does not appear that any other Adobe services, including the Adobe Connect conferencing service itself, were impacted.

To protect Connect forum users, we have taken the following actions:

  • The connectusers.com forum site was taken offline in the evening of Tuesday, November 13, 2012. We are working diligently to restore forum services as soon as possible.
  • We are in the process of resetting the passwords of impacted Connectusers.com forum members and will reach out to those members with instructions on how to set up new passwords once the forum services are restored.

As a reminder, one of the best ways to protect yourself online is to follow password best practices and use different login credentials across different websites and services.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to our forum members. Your security is of critical importance to us, and we appreciate your patience as we work towards restoring Connectusers.com forum services.
