Leadership Veracity consultants are an interesting group of people. We have some of the best and brightest people working to help our customers deliver great products to their customers. While there are a lot of consulting shops in the industry, most are not like Veracity Solutions. Many shops simply want to put a body into a chair. They offer cheap hourly full time employee replacements (contractors) instead of people that can actually help their business be successful. Veracity, on the other hand,...
We want to use both subversion usernames and passwords as well as Active Directory for our authentication on our Collabnet subversion server. This has proven to be more of a challenge than we thought, mostly because Collabnet’s documentation is weak in this area. To supplement that documentation, I add my own. The first thing to understand is that the attribute that you specify in the LDAP Login Attribute ONLY applies to lookups done for the user. It does NOT apply to the LDAP Bind DN field. Second,...
Read this on foxnews today. I had to laugh. Having been a system admin, all I can think is duh? Have they never read BOFH? If you don't know what it is, read it here and here. Several notes: 1.

We don't give them out over the phone in restaurants (I overheard a bank teller's username and password once in a restaurant while she was on lunch break . . .), and we practice safe computing....
O.K.--so I got a shiny core duo 2 from dell the other day, and have vista loaded onto it.

I used to be a staunch Republican, starting from the time that I was old enough to care until probably the end of the first Bush term, I supported them, even gave them money. That's all changed now. I didn't vote for Bush the second time, and I haven't voted Republican the last two elections. I'm still a conservative, but the Republicans are no longer conservatives. Here's why: Not only is the Homeland Security Department the largest expansion of the government ever, something the "Republicans" are...
So we have this affiliate that uses PHP for almost everything. Of course, the lip we get from them is that “Linux will rule the world, microsoft will die!” I've written a bunch of web services that basically allow them to talk directly to our system. They're using PEAR::SOAP and NuSoap, and of course, the problem MUST be on our side. I actually write up a telnet example that he can use. telnet to www.mysite.com port 80 and copy and paste in exactly the following: POST /mitwebservice/pageremoved/...
