Back to reality

Hello There

Now I'm back to reality and the office.

I had a very nice vacation, were we just relaxed for two weeks (I don't know how much relax there is with 2 children running around).

In january I'm going to start my new job, and I look forward to this since i will be doing what I'm good at.

So I'm going to leave my current company where I've worked for 8 years now.

We're going to a very sunny country and hopefully just relax.

So I'm not going to write here for about 2 weeks, so we'll se you in about 2 weeks.

A few days ago...

It was a few days since i last posted something, but now I'm back.

There have been a lot to think about, since I got a few offers that i need to think thru.

On top of that we have a big migration at work to do, so it's a lot of planning and coordinationg things that have to be done.

And then we're going on vaccation, which some company folks don't like.

Tonight we will visit the Islanders and I hope that we will win this one.......

New defeat against the rangers

On saturday night we lost another game to the Rangers.

I have to say it was a pretty good game and I liked the way we played.
I thought we had the bet scoring chances and we should have won the game.

But when you there is a shotout you never know who will win, so it's pretty much a coin flip.

Next game is at home on monday night against the Penguins....

Sold!!!!!

My company or should I say my office was yesterday sold to another smaller company.
No we're going to be a bit smaller than before.

I think for the office, this is a good thing, because our previous owner was crap!!

So this is the 4:th time I have been sold, so I have every script ready.......:)

I'll be back with more info on this, and maybe put some of them here

Devils lose home opener

The Devils lost their home opener against Senators.
They did a bad third period with the score 0-3.

I don't know but this start isn't a good one and I don't know what they should do to fix this.

I can only hope that White and Langenbrunner is back soon from their injuries and can boost the others to get going.......

Friday, October 26, 2007

Loss to rangers and i cried all night.....

Damn, Can it be so hard to score goals?????

We have played 9 games now and have been shutout 3 times!!!!!

Sheldon Brookbank got to play yesterday and Mottau got to sit this one out.

I think the first goal was a huge mistake and it shouldn't happen. Rachuneck passed the pass to the blueline when Odyua went to change with Greene, and none of them could take the puck.....

Where are Elias, Gionta, Zubrus. If they get paid with that kind of many they should be able to score some goals....

Finally this away trip is over, and now we have our first homegame against Senators.

Here are the Devils stats after nine games:

Zach Parise, LW 9 2 8 10
John Madden, C 9 4 2 6
Travis Zajac, C 9 3 3 6
Patrik Elias, LW 9 2 3 5
Jay Pandolfo, LW 9 3 2 5
Paul Martin, D 9 0 5 5
Arron Asham, RW 9 2 2 4
Dainius Zubrus, C 9 0 4 4
Brian Gionta, RW 9 2 2 4
David Clarkson, RW 9 0 3 3
Sergei Brylin, C 9 1 1 2
Andy Greene, D 9 1 1 2
Mike Mottau, D 8 1 0 1
Karel Rachunek, D 9 0 1 1
Rod Pelley, C 9 0 1 1
Vitaly Vishnevski, D 9 0 0 0
Michael Rupp, C 7 0 0 0
Nicklas Bergfors, RW 1 0 0 0
Johnny Oduya, D 9 0 0 0

Player stats

I just read the player stats for all players in NHL, and there are 3 swedes among the first 4!!!!!!!!

Zetterberg has 17 points in 9 games, which is a very good. After him we have Mats Sundin who shares the 2:nd spot with Paul Stastny on 14 points. And at 4:th place we have Alfredsson and Iginla with 13 points

Best Devils player we find in place 13, Zach Parise, with 10 points in 8 games.

And now why the Devils doesn't have won any more games....

Brodeur is at place 35 with a GAA 3.51
I don't say that the loses is Brodeurs fault, I'm just saying that he never have had a higher GAA.....

Sharepoint

I have been testing Windows Sharepoint services for a few days now, and I think you can do pretty much with this system.
It's a system where you can easy share documents, calender, news, contacts, have discussions and much more. You can have this for you're entire company or just use it for different projects.

We're testing this system to see what it can do, and how we can use to better share information between us.

Win on Saturday

The Devils won against the Trashers on saturday night.
Patrick Elias got his first pair of goals for the season and the winning goal with 28 seconds left.
Elias and Zajac each had 3 points.

I was only the devils second win of the season.

Now they only have 4 games left on the road.......

WPAD file

Here is how our WPAD look:

function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
{ if(isPlainHostName(host)||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".domain.se"))
return "DIRECT";
else return "PROXY proxy.domain.se:8080; DIRECT";
}

Just publish this textfile on a webserver, http://servername.domain.se/wpad.txt
and configure option 252 in your DHCP to point to this location and everything should work just fine.

browsers must be configured to "automatic detect mode"

Problems at work

During the weekend I worked with upgrading our subversion server to a new version.
The new version is 1.4.5. It seems to work just fine, and our projects haven't reported any problems, so far.

I don't think there should be any problem but you never know, and when there are ca 500 developers, and just about 100 repos, It has to work.

The other thing I planned on doing during the weekend was to implement a new way to authenticate. Subversion has it's own way of authenticate users, but when you have 500 developers it takes alot of time, and they all need to remeber a second password for this.

Thats why I tested this with apache and ldap, and it seemed to work just fine in our testenvironment.
The modules seems to load just fine but, when i'm configuring a repository, the service will not start. There seem to be a problem with libapr.dll.
I can't find som much info on this and when I find it, there are no soloution.....

So right now i have to run some test and see what we will do.

Losing game

We lost the game to Rangers.

Let's just say it's preseason and nothing else.

New geame on monday against the Flyers

Friday, September 21, 2007

Big game tonight at MSG

Tonight the Rangers will host the Devils.

Should be an interesting game...

We'll se if Gomez is in the lineup..

Rachuneck and Tallackson scored in the third period. Oduya assisted on both, while Zajac assisted on the second and Bergfors on the third.

Weeks and Doyle shared duties in goal.

Changes.....

I changed a few things on the blog today.

Just played around......

Linux with AD authentication

Hey All!

A while ago I was testing how I could setup my Linux computers and servers to authenticate with Active Directory instead of Linux own account management.

I was able to setup so when you log on our Linux servers you use you're AD login and password and everything seemd to work just fine.

I implemented this in our server environment, so now all our users is using their AD username and password on our Linux systems.

The one thing I didn't do so well was that i didn't document this implementation, so now I have forgott how I did everything!

I'm going to look in to this and read current configuration and possibly do it all over again. THIS TIME I'LL WRITE IT DOWN!!!!
We're using Ubuntu, but it should be similar with other Linux distributions

When I'm done I'll post i here.........

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Next project......Bugzilla

Now that we have tested subversion with AD authentication, we're going to se if its possible to do the same with Bugzilla.

It can be done, just have to do a lot of testing.

Job interview.............

I got a call today that I'm going to a second interview, which sounds very nice.....

looking forward to this....

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

Upgrading subversion and implementing AD authentication

It's important to test after the upgrade so everything is working OK!

Subversion on windows with AD authentication

Today i have finished testing Subversion to authenticate with Active Directory.

I've tested this for a few days now and it seems to work just fine!

Well, lets look at it!!!!

First i installed Apache on my server (version 2.0.58)

Then installation of Subversion 1.4.5 on windows

Now we have to configure subversion to run as a service in windows. The following will do that for you:
D:\SVNrepos>sc create svnserve binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svnserve.exe\" --service -r D:\SVNrepos" isplayname= "Subversion Server" depend= Tcpip start= auto

This will create a service named Subversion Server that points to the folder D:\SVNRepos, where my repositorys will be created.

Now we have to enable som modules in apache for this to work:
You have to add these rows to the conf-file for apache, the modules for subversion may allredy be there.

LoadModule dav_svn_module "C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/mod_dav_svn.so"
LoadModule authz_svn_module "C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/mod_authz_svn.so"
LoadModule ldap_module modules/util_ldap.so
LoadModule auth_ldap_module modules/mod_auth_ldap.so


Then you add the follwing at the bottom of the apache conf-file.
Be sure to edit the different paths, so it accurate with you're environment



explenation:
SVNPath D:/SVNrepos/test
this is the path to your repository

AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=apache_bind,OU=IT,OU=GTB,OU=SE,DC=sweden,DC=europe,DC=com"
this is the DN to a user that needs to bind with AD. DO NOT use a user with admin rights since the password is in the conf-file in clear text

AuthLDAPBindPassword !password1
The password for user apache_bind

Require group CN=SVN_Test,OU=Groups,OU=SE,DC=sweden,DC=europe,DC=com
This is the group that has access to this repository. Add you're users in this group if they need access.


If you have other repositorys, you just copy everything and change a few things:




Now you can connect to the repository thru a webbrowser http://servername/subversion/test
Authenticate with your AD-login and password

If you use a client to checkout files, use this url and then login

Now I just have to implement this in our live environment.


Hope it helps someone
Good Luck!!!

Ok!! Here we go

Let's se how this will go......

my first post....
