    Share on:

    Such an awkward title, I know. It's just hard to encapsulate the following error message into a blog post title: Create virtual machine 172.16.1.129 Error caused by file /vmfs/volumes/0-cb8d2a5-20-f15722/win-2k8.vmdk Basically, I'm taking ghetto to the next level by using my Dell Optiplex 745 workstation as an ESXi 4.0 …

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

    Oct 5, 2009 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    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

    Oct 3, 2009 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    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

    Oct 1, 2009 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    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

    Oct 1, 2009 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    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

    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 …

    Ow, the other day I was infected by the the Vundo trojan. I believe the trojan came in through an infected webpage and attacked a Java vulnerability on my machine. During the cleanup, I installed a variety of anti-malware software, including Microsoft Windows Defender. Although I don't believe things can be 100% clean …

Looking Forward: Microsoft: Support for Secure Shell (SSH) I'm currently playing with Windows Server 2008 Core and I'm really at a loss trying to figure out why Microsoft seems to go out of its way not to adopt SSH.
