We recently migrated our internal Knowledge Base to Confluence. Part of the process involved linking Confluence to Active Directory... one directory to rule them all... one directory to bind them... Anyway. Doing the basic connectivity part is easy - simply following the prompts should successfully link your new Confluence instance to AD, BUT what you'll find is that you return too many users, which with Confluence can have a relatively disproproportionate cost impact. The Confluence examples don't work, and neither does the MS doco.

You won't experience this issue if:

If you have Joomla installed behind a proxy (like squid, for example) then you will not be able to use the Joomla Update feature - found under Extension Manager / Updates. When you do you'll get errors like:

Update: :Collection: Could not open http://update.joomla.org/core/list.xml

This article assumes that you're running, and familiar with administering Request Tracker. The notes are accurate for 3.8.7, and it may differ for other versions. Hopefully it'll get you a long way to solving it though, and the RT user lists are pretty good - http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users.

Something we've wanted to do for a long time is get RT to send an email to requestors based upon the value of custom fields. In our case we want to send an email to the requestor if the following are all true:

Scenario:

• User #1 wants to share calendar in Outlook / Exchange with user #2.
• User #1 does not have Outlook. User #2 does.

If you're trying to RWW to a Windows 7 PC that is joined to an SBS 2003 domain, you may be seeing a popup error along the lines of " vbscript +"an internal error has occurred". In this scenario, RWW portal doesn't allow you to connect, but you can RDP successfully from your PC directly to the target PC in question.

Assuming that you've covered off firewall issues (you are allowing TCP 4125 to both the SBS box and the Win7 client, right?), then your next place to look at is the authentication level required by the target PC. To do this (on the target PC):

We're pleased to welcome the two newest members of our team - responsible for security and social events.

As a web developer, one of my code tasks is to deploy a website to a live environment. This boils down to copying lots of files in lots folders from my development environment (a Windows 7 computer) to a live environment (could be Linux or Windows). To give you an idea of what "lots" can be, a typical Magento installation without any customisations, themes or 3rd party components weighs in at around 10,000 file across 3,500 folders.

Last week we completed and went live with a client's revamped website. The site was based on Mangento, but has a big twist to it: users needed to follow specific workflow.

A client called saying that she believed that someone has access her computer and changed her password as she was unable to log in. As a precaution we attempted to reset the password, but when trying to do so from within Active Directory Users & Computers it returned the error "Windows cannot complete the password change error 0x800708c5".

 I've been feeling the slow pinch on my laptop recently, and decided to upgrad to the hybrid SSD drives to see how much they improved things. The short answer is quite a bit - it's dramatically improved some things. The results from my own testing of my laptop are detailed below. I tested by cloning my old harddrive to the new Seagate drive - Hitachi HTS723232L9A360 (320G SATA2 3Gbs 7200rpm) to Seagate Momentus XT 320Gb 7200rpm…

Some numbers (these are taken using a stopwatch, me typing to login etc so this is obviously highly unscientific, but still interesting). Times are in seconds.

At Far Edge we've been working with a client who had a compromised website (not because of our software). He'd been blacklisted for sending spam among other things. After our sys-admin guys had tidied up the server itself, I was asked to take a look through the web application source code for security problems.

Magento is a (if not the) open source shopping cart web-app out there. I've been developing a couple of different custom solutions based on it over the last few months, so here are my first impressions of Magento.

Since starting at Far Edge, I've almost exclusively been working on web based projects of one kind or another. Prior to this, I'd very nearly sworn an oath to never develop for the web.

As a project manager, when a new server is required for an existing product there are alot of tasks and risks they have to be aware of.

Questions to resolve:

For me, iTunes falls into the category of necessary evil - I don't like the software, but I need it for my phone to work.

So when you do a update and your phone no longer syncs, it's an issue. Some of the symptoms you may see for which this is relevant:
