Can't get SSL/CA working with SDP
Hi, My company has recently got some proper CA certs. I've gone through the process detailed in the FAQ several times, following the directions to the letter, and just can't seem get things working. I created the keystore file and sent a CSR to my cert authority (StartCom). Note that StartCom requires minimum 2048 lenth SHA1 encrypted CSR's, so I simply added "-sigalg DSA -length 2048". I received the certificate file back for my site (support.mydomain.com). I've imported StartCom's root Certificate

SLA alert problem
Hello, Two of our SDP accounts have the same problem: Sometimes, the SLA violation alert is not seen in the request page although the due by date has past the current time. When we change the due by date manually, the SLA alert red flag comes up. Have you ever seen a bug in the current version 8008 or the earlier versions? A screenshot of the problem is at the attachment. ( Öngörülen çözüm tarihi: due date & Oluşturma Tarihi: created date ) Thank you for your quick reply.

Saving Attachments - IE9
One of our Techs is currently trialling IE9 and has come across a problem when attempting to download attachments. Basically, a prompt comes up asking if you want to save the file however, this appears to be a background link rather than the filename. From here, you are unable to cancel the request and trying to save the file does nothing. If you change the filename, this will then allow the file to begin saving which fails, but allows you to close the dialog box. We have tried this with numerous

Self Service Requester Template
I would like to create a template for the self service portal where the mode is set to self-service and without the option to change. I have tried this using the standard templates but if I make the change on the requester template it also stays with the technicians template. I need the technicians template to be different as this is set to phonecall. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Deleting Categories - Cannot delete a sub-category
I have manually deleted tickets relating to a particular sub-category, we have no problems in our database and only 4 changes, none of which use that sub-category. Thsi sub-category has no items. As far as I can tell Solutions use their own categorization hierarchy - am I missing some place categories are used? Please provide a sample script for all the places needed to be unhitched before a category / subcategory or item is allowed to be fully deleted (not just greyed out for no further use).

Priority Matrix
This topic was brought up last year but the response did not provide a resolution. We are evaluating SDP and have an evaluation license for the Professional version which would be the correct version for us. However - we initially were evaluating Enterprise and it seems that one of the features we configured, Priority Matrix, has been removed from the editable options when the Professional Version license was installed. However we configured that feature in the Enterprise version. The problem

e-mail templates
with Version : 8.0.0 Build 8009 i've noticed that the "Replying to a Request" under "E-mail Templates" now appends two carriage before the message, meaning each time I reply within servicedesk, there are two blank lines from where my cursor starts followed by the template message - this did not happen in earlier versions - any reason for this? many thanks mark

User import - updated details are not correct!
Hi, I have edited a users e-mail address and re-imported from active directory only to find that no changes have been made to the account details in servicedesk plus! I checked the data in AD again thinking I maybe made a mistake, but AD is showing the new e-mail and correct e-mail address. I then edit another field in AD, the user's telephone number, and re-imported into SDP again. It did not update the phone details either! I then deleted the requester from SDP and did another import from AD. I
ServiceDesk page not loading on Windows 7 + IE8.
Here is my shortcut to ServiceDesk: http://servicedesk.****.*******:8080/HomePage.do. It works fine on a Windows XP machine with IE8. Now when I try it on a Windows 7 machine with IE8, it prompts me for my username/password, I enter it and hit OK, and then nothing happens. The page does not load. Why? Also, I have added the domain to my trusted sites, and have also tried Compatibility View, but it does not help. Thanks for your help in advance.
ServiceDesk Service Catalog template questions
We have spent a lot of time constructing a number of templates for use in the Service Catalog. Now, a few questions. 1. We would like to either lock or hide the Category from the user, so that the user cannot change this. We still want to view the subcategory and item, and the user can change these as needed. It appears that locking (or hiding) the category also locks or hides the subcategory and item. 2. We have several sites, each with their own set of templates and categories. But, I don't

duplicate requestid's being generated since upgrade
we upgraded to 8008 from 8005 yesterday, and our technicians have noticed this morning they are receiving email notifications for new tickets that don't appear in the request queue, and upon further examination the new tickets are referring to old requestid's in a perhaps related problem, responses to emails generated by the system are not being appended to their tickets either I can only assume there is a sequence problem here, but searches on the forums produced the fix of creating a dummy ticket
DuebyDate in Notifications
I think I've found a small bug in SDP 8, no clue if it was in the brevious releases too. I've defined a SLA of 4 hours. So the DuebyDate is set on any Request. But when a Request is created and the notification is sent to the technican by a businessrule, the $DuebyDate variable isn't filled. in the Notification you just see $DuebyDate. but when you then change anything on the Request and another notification is sent, then you get the correct datas. Perhaps the businessrules are checked first and
Mail notifications [Resolved]
Hi, I'm actually in SDP 8008. Since SDP 8007 our requesters have no mails when creating a request. They don't have a mail when their requests are closed. Only the mail for the requests queues for technicians are available. Moreover, when replying to requesters, all fields are blank, and the object doesn't refer to the RequestId (it's written : Re: [Request :##$RequestId##] : $Title Thx & regards.
ldap field relationship
Hello community. I'm still not sure how to fillup the ldap fields in a way that also SDP works automatical with the right information. We're a small company with only one central and one branch office both located within the same city. Within these locations we're having some offices (rooms). Overall we have just 5 departments. So I thought it would be a hierarchy like that: SDP Regions == have only one. The City. (What, if we expand and have branch offices in other citys / countrys?) SDP
