I was recently setting up a development environment with the intent of using Bugzilla and Subversion (via WebDAV).

 
 

I needed to create/maintain user accounts for these systems, which was easy enough in Bugzilla, since it has a user maintenance front end. Subversion uses Apache's authentication mechanism, which meant running "htpasswd" to create each user along with their password.

IPsec - Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)

IPsec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)

ESP is a member of the IPsec protocol suite. It is the portion of IPsec that provides origin authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality protection of packets. ESP also supports encryption-only and authentication-only configurations, but using encryption without authentication is strongly discouraged because it is insecure. [9] [10] [11]. Unlike the other IPsec protocol, Authentication Header (AH), ESP does not protect the IP packet header. However, in Tunnel Mode, where the entire original IP packet is encapsulated with a new packet header added, ESP protection is afforded to the whole inner IP packet (including the inner header) while the outer header remains unprotected. ESP operates directly on top of IP, using IP protocol number 50.[8]"

This on-demand webcast is ready to be viewed:


Summary


Developers have long wanted to be able to add manageability to Microsoft .NET applications without having to understand the intricacies of the management infrastructure itself. This webcast reveals how the new Windows Management Instrumentation Provider Extension 2.0 (WMI.NET) addresses this need by extending version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Find out how WMI.NET exposes management information during the development phase at no extra cost. Learn how you can leverage WMI.NET after instrumentation is complete using existing enterprise management solutions such as Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005, and also through Windows Script Host (WSH), the WMI Command-line (WMIC), and new technologies such as Windows Remote Management (WinRM) and Windows PowerShell (formerly code-named "Monad").

Event Overview

   

 

Microsoft continues to invest in Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to provide IT professionals with a consistent, standards-based approach to accessing comprehensive system management information. This webcast provides a roadmap of improvements to WMI technologies in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista. We discuss both existing and new WMI troubleshooting tools, and explain how administrators of Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 can leverage the power of WMI. We also use demonstrations and examples to illustrate best practices related to WMI troubleshooting.

TechNet Webcast: An Ounce of Prevention: An Introduction to WMI Events (Level 200)


 

"Remember the story about the grasshopper and the ant? If so, then you recall how the grasshopper danced and played all summer long while the ant spent her time writing scripts that used WMI events to alert her to potential problems, like servers running low on disk space, services stopping unexpectedly, or files being added or deleted from specified folders. Well, come winter the grasshopper lost his job, tried to rob a store, and is currently serving time in prison. The ant was promoted to CIO, and now she'll get to dance and play all summer long. The moral of the story: unless you have 5-to-10 years to spare, don't be a grasshopper. Watch this webcast, the third of five Scripting Week 2 webcasts, and learn how Microsoft® Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) events can help you monitor and maintain your systems."
