How to avoid extranet to use CRM rewriting

Fri, 24 Apr 2020 03:45:56 +0000

Hello,

I recently received this question.
How can we avoid https://extranet.domain.com/crm to be accessible while having an Efficy installation on the same folder (Efficy is using https://efficy.domain.com/crm)

You can simply add a blocking request rule
Requested url: "matches the pattern"
Using: "Exact Match"
Pattern: "crm/" or "^crm" if you prefer using regular expressions

Warning, this rule will need to be above the regular crm rewriting rule

You'll also need to add a condition
input :{HTTP_HOST}
"Does not matches the pattern"
Pattern: extranet.domain.com

If you want to allow it only for one website, use "matches the pattern" and your URL
(in this example efficy.domain.com)

Hope it can help some of you :-)

How to have a customized numerical display on cloud

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 17:34:14 +0000

If you cannot use the server settings for the numerical float formatting, you can overrule the standard formatting by using a customized server script. This simple code example shows you how to achieve it.

macros\MacroListCustom.txt

ListScriptsCustom {[<%LoadScript("CommonLibrary")%>]}

macros\GridColumnsCustom.txt

td.NUMERIC {[<td class="text-end"><%RunScript(formatCurrency, value="<#F=$FIELD$>")%> €</td>]}
sumfield.NUMERIC {[<td class="sumfield text-end"><b><%RunScript(formatCurrency, value="<#F=$FIELD$>")%></b></td>]}

serverscripts\CommonLibraryCustom.js

function formatCurrency() {
    var 
        f = StrToFloatDef(Arguments.Values("value"), 0),
        thousandSeparator = " ",
        decimalSeparator = ",";

    return f.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, thousandSeparator).replace(/\./g, decimalSeparator);
}

This will yield the following result

Slowness when SSO is activated

Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:43:02 +0000

Dear all,

When you are experiencing issues concerning slowness when SSO is activated, you can check the following.

We encountered the problem when using SOAP calls to Efficy with SSO activated.

The difference between SSO and no-SSO is indeed in IIS, meaning there is an extra load of processing because of the authentication module, which involves network communications, resolving in adding extra http headers. These communication involve communication with the domain controller / active directory.

You should first measure the impacts of windows authentication with IIS without Efficy and see if you then experience a slowness.
If indeed you observe a slowness with authentication ON, then it is an infrastructure issue.

How to test:
On the web server :

Put the attached file “test.html” in a folder accessible in the website of their IIS (for example c:\inetpub\wwwroot, depending on their IIS configuration)
Activate windows authentication in IIS, and disable anonymous authentication

- Go to IIS management
- Select the website corresponding to the folder in 1
- Go to “Authentication“ area
- Disable “Anonymous authentication”
- Enable “Windows authentication”

On the client
3. Open a web browser
4. Visit the URL corresponding to the test.html in 1 (on server)
5. For more accurate measurements of speed, open Developper Tools (F12 in most browsers), go to network tab, and take measurement of the speed
Example in Chrome :

6. Repeat step 2, but inverse the authentication modes :
- Enable “Anonymous authentication”
- Disable “Windows authentication”
7. Repeat steps 3,4,5 and compare speed results with the previous ones.

If the speed is dramatically slower (bigger time value) with windows authentication enabled only, then we know that efficy is not causing the speed issue in SSO.

If they want to try running efficy without sso but with Windows Authentication:
Disable the SSO in efficy with the registry key HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\DSoft\Efficy\Web\SsoMode
Set the value to 0 and do a refresh settings.

If you try to access to efficy with an url like this https://webserver/efficy.dll/home?page=logon.htm&filebase=efficy&database=dbName

With Sso, this url will lead you to the desktop of efficy. Without Sso, you will just arrive to the logon page and you will have to manually logon.

Hi there,

I have some troubles to make run Efficy on a server were Exchange is Installed.

I Follow the procedure from the documentation : http://www.mosmar.com.au/chris-blog/2011/3/15/taking-care-of-bitness-or-how-to-run-a-32-bit-app-with-owa-2.html

BUt nothing to do. it's not working.

I still get the error :

The Module DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin\kerbauth.dll' 
could not be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only supports 
loading images built for a x86 processor architecture. The data field contains the error 
number. To learn more about this issue, including how to troubleshooting this kind of 
processor architecture mismatch error, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=29349.

Any ideas ?

Efficy 2014 on Windows 20125R2: Default Pages redirection is not working argument replaced by $0

Tue, 02 Jun 2015 09:03:03 +0000

Dear,

I have created a simple HTML Page in order to setup the redirection (default page) on Windows 2012 R2 IIS.

Here is the HTML page content:

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0;URL=http://CUSTOMERADDRESS/efficy.dll/home?page=logon.htm&filebase=efficy&custombase=default&database=CUSTOMERALIAS">

</head>
<body>
<a href="http://CUSTOMERADDRESS/efficy.dll/home?page=logon.htm&filebase=efficy&custombase=default&database=CUSTOMERALIAS">If you are not redirected, click here</a>
</body>
</html>

But When I access the http://CUSTOMERADDRESS all the argument pass to URL are replace by $0, $1 ... $XX

http://CUSTOMERADDRESS /efficy.dll/home?PAGE=pages/logon.htm&filebase=efficy&custombase=default&database=$0&user=$1&password=&language=$2

How can I solve this issue?

Best Regards,
