  • Using Windows Authentication to Connect to SQL Server from Linux

    calendar Oct 22, 2013 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    One of the things I love most about SuSE is how well it integrates with Active Directory. Joining a domain is easy when using yast. First I ensured that the Linux server's DNS server is pointed to my DC, then yast -> Network Services -> Windows Domain Membership. …

  • OpenWRT & PPTPD: A Love Story

    calendar Feb 20, 2011 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Firesheep got me thinkin' that I should probably do a little more to beef up the security of my Internet connection on public networks. PPTP has always been a favorite of mine, because it hides traffic well enough to deter most people and it's easy to setup on both Linux and Windows. I ran a Windows PPTP server for …

  • Setup WebDAV in Apache2 on SuSE Linux to Support Windows (XP/Vista/7) Clients

    Earlier today, a colleague told me that she doesn't like using my servers because I don't have FTP setup thus, she couldn't map my server as a drive. Well, I showed her. I stand firmly against using FTP as any type of web-related solution and thus, decided on WebDAV to address my colleague's demanding needs.

    Initially, …

  • Securing Apache using mod_ssl, OpenSSL and Microsoft Certificate Authority (CA)

    calendar Oct 5, 2009 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Recently, I used my Windows-based domain's Enterprise Root Certification Authority to secure my subversion repository that is hosted on an Apache-based server. The process was rather straight-forward and relatively fast -- especially because I skipped over all of the file transfers and just used vi/notepad to …

  • Securing Subversion with Windows 2008 Kerberos-Based SSO and Linux-Based Apache

    calendar Oct 3, 2009 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Some things just belong on Linux. Like Subversion and Apache, for instance. I've seen the ghetto workarounds for Windows-based Apache installs and no thanks -- I'd much rather waste my time on ghetto SharePoint workarounds.

    But I sure do like the way Windows-based web servers such as IIS seamlessly and securely …

  • Apache: Pre-compiled mod_auth_pam for SLES 11

    calendar Oct 1, 2009 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    This was ridiculous. Since apache-devel isn't available in SLES (and I do understand why, but give me the option at least!), I had to sync up one of my SLES machines to an OpenSuSE repository and get all of my necessary packages required to compile mod_auth_pam. I was required to downgrade quite a few packages, but …

  • Enable Windows NTLM Pass-through Authentication in Linux-based Apache

    calendar Oct 1, 2009 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Thank Science for SuSE Linux Enterprise 11; it's made this process relatively easy. SLES 10 SP2 was giving me a headache because of some Windows 2008 based Active Directory authentication issues but upgrading SLES 11 took care of all that.

    First thing is first, setup samba to authenticate to AD. Next, install the …

  • SuSE (SLES) 11 Works Flawlessly with Windows Server 2008 Authentication

    calendar Oct 1, 2009 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Well that couldn't have been easier! Here's all it takes to authenticate SLES 11 to Windows Server 2008 based Active Directory. During the initial install of SLES, I performed the following:

    • Selected samba-client and winbind during the software installer phase
    • Added my domain's DNS servers to the intitial network …

  • Free DB2 Express-C 9.5 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server

    calendar Feb 15, 2009 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    IBM DB2's free version "DB2 Express-C" is available for download at db2express.com. So far, I've successfully installed and uninstalled DB2 Express on SLES 10 SP2. While there was a command line installer included (db2_install), the server wouldn't start after a supposedly successful install. I figured I …
