It will be possible to resize the system partion with tools that are either commercially available or opensource. Acronis ‘Disk Partition Manager’ is a good example of a commerical product (www.acronis.com), Thier is another tool that comes with Linux ‘Live CD’ called “GParted”. This will also resize partions without data loss. To extend a volume, follow these steps,
Run –> cmd –> type diskpart.exe.
Type list volume to display the existing volumes on the computer.
Type Select volume volume number where volume number is number of the volume that you want to extend.

The dynamic disk on which to extend the volume. Space equal to size=n is allocated on the disk. If no disk is specified, the volume is extended on the current disk.

The below steps will provide .pfx file :
#Password is optional root@server [~]# openssl pkcs12 -export -in mydomain.com.crt -inkey mydomain.com.key -name mydomain.com -passout pass:PASSWORD -out mydomain.com.pfx

- Under Connections click your server’s Hostname.
- In the center window pane, scroll down to and Double-Click the Server Certificates icon.
4. On the right window pane under Actions click the link to Import.
5. Select the new .pfx file and import with name. Now we can see the the imported file under server certificate
6. Under the Connections window pane, expand your server’s computer name, then click the Site that you want to enable SSL on.
7. Actions menu click Bindings…

Error: Unable to connect DynamoDB in AWS Eclipse Toolkit
I am using Eclipse to connect AWS Dynamo Db and manage TABLES : by installing aws tool kit. everything will works fine but Dynamo db shows unable to connect, unfortunately here is the solution for this.If you can’t get anything else to work, you can screw with the plugin’s metadata to force an http:// connection and avoid ssl entirely.
Follow the below setps to change the metadata to http://
In your eclipse workspace, open the .metadata directory. Browse to .metadata/.plugins/com.amazonaws.eclipse.core/regions. In there is a file called regions.xml. Edit it, changing the DynamoDB entry from https://... to http://... Then restart eclipse, and you will be connecting to DynamoDB over http:// .
Steps to install AWS tool kit.
1. Install AWS Eclipse tools in a clean Eclipse environment (from Help->Eclipse Marketplace only), with no prior installations of the tools on the test machine. Simply wiping a prior installation might leave working settings, config items behind.
2. Note the DynamoDB (as of this writing) is not included in Help->Eclipse Marketplace distribution.
3. Add in DynamoDB from Help->Install New Software
4. Note that it doesn’t connect after entering credentials.
Thats it..:)
