Most problems seem to be ironed out now; getting my old Blosxom formatted entries will be interesting. The provided Xcript on the WP site doesn’t look like it will work with the markup I have in my previous posts, so I will have to update the script currently around to handle this…. anyway, off to the Countryside today.
Debconf 7 – EDI
So, back at my first DebConf for some 6 years or so — since Bordeaux in 2001 with DebConf 1 (which was the second DebConf).
Apache 2.2.x and LDAP/Active Directory 2003 Authentication.
Its mostly broken, but the is a workaround. For starters, see bug 26538.
Basically, when using Windows 2003, some queries can be returned as references, which the current (as of 2.2.3) LDAP modules dont handle. The work around is to modify the AuthLDAPURL
to connect to the Global Catalouge on port 3268 (instead of LDAP 389) as the GC doesn’t return references.
Apache 2.2 and Authentication
Wow, a set of incompatabilities. Well, ok, its perhaps just not sa straight forward as one would like. If you’re using mod-auth for Basic authentication, you probably need to use mod_authz_user as well.
Private Gallery?
Well, after almost 10 yeras of dumping photos here, its come to a point where I now have to split some of the gallery into publicly accessible images, and those I must keep private. What was over 7,500 images has been slightly reduced to around 6,000. They’re not all art, but some are useful – if you’d like to use the pictures ask me and I can send you a high-res.
