Luminis not responding after one hour, reboot required
This week our Luminis web server has started having issues. It is running on a Sun T5220 Solaris 10. Luminis version 4.2.2.34. After running for an hour to hour half it becomes unstable and stops responding. Banner channels are unable to be rendered. At the end of the slow response users trying to get logged in get the "too many simultaneous logins" message. By that point the system is gone. Just before it becomes unstable we notice ping packets are lost to the luminis server. No memory errors in log files. No error messages in system logs.
LumDev Spam Filter
I apologize for the frustration and mess this has become. For some reason I'm still unaware of, the spam filter has gone haywire and is marking just about everything as spam.
I've played around with the rules and it seems to have gotten worse, so I've disabled it.
I left captcha on - so I guess we'll see how bad it gets.

Changing DisplayName for Users
Hi.
We're running Luminis IV since a couple of years.
Some students and teachers requested to change the DiplayName in Luminis, currently the person name and SSN is shown, but the SSN must be eliminated.
Does anybody know how to make this change for all Luminis users?
Thanks

Help, I can't seem to post anything. It is all being blocked. I swear I never posted spam :-) Is this just me?
"Technical difficulties" and "uPortal Error"?
"Hi all
Recently we made the changes of DB hostname on our test luminis system and I made the following luminis properties change:
database.datasource.oracle1.url
database.datasource.oracle1.host
But I kept getting "Technical Difficulty" and "connection refused" error?
The following is from cp.log:
[2010-08-09 13:49:51,685] [ERROR] WebServlet [uportal.bridge]: An exception occurred before authenticating user:
Connection refused Error?

Please someone helps? Thanks!
Documents that can be secured
I am looking for a solution in Luminis where documents can be posted to an area, but some documents should not be accessible to everyone or to everyone in the group - maybe accessible if you supply a password.
Would this best be done with Group Studio or a channel that is only accessible via certain roles? I'm sorry if this is vague but I am new to Luminis.
How to get a Distance Learning URL to open new Window
I am slogging along setting up single signon for eCollege/MyLabs Plus. So far I wrote a GCF Connector to perform the appropriate Single Signon. (using the HMAC/SHA technique. This works fine, (except for the inability to deep link to an individual class) but now I am trying to figure out how to present this to students and faculty. Since only a small fraction of our classes use this system, it seems silly to put in a general purpose custom icon or channel.
Channel displaying a URL with username parameter appended
My requirement seems quite simple, I've just never done any channel development.
All I want to do is display a channel containing a bit of text and a URL with the value of pdsLoginId appended as a URL parameter:
So, if my pdsLoginId is "Fred", the channel would contain the URL
"www.someurl.com?username=Fred"
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
