Re: Linux OS authentication
Christopher Farino wrote: I need to create a connection between ColdFusion and an LDAP server.Our Unix administrator has set up Linux to authenticate with the LDAP server and wants ColdFusion to authenticate with the LDAP server through the OS and not directly from the LDAP server.Does that make any sense? The question makes sense. I'm not so sure about the position of your Unix admin :-) If you just need to authenticate users, it might be easier to tie your Apache directly into PAM using the auth-pam module. That is pretty much the equivalent of the way WIndows Authentication works with domain accounts and IIS. If you need to retrieve details like the groupname from the user, you will have to write something to interface directly with PAM. Have you checked the Developers Exchange?

Re: Linux OS authentication

But is something more complicated done at the OS level? And do you need just authentication, or do you want to look up details about the user based on their username. I found 2 custom tags that authenticate Linux users on the CF server, but they're not available for download.What is PAM? Pluggable Authentication Module. See man pam.

Re: Documentation examples
Quoting Everett, Al [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Documentation is the worst part of development. Does anybody have any documentation for CFCs/CustomTags/Modules/Functions ?

I wouldn't know of any such standard, but it is an issue I have encountered as well. What I was wondering is if there would be any interest in defining an XML schema for documentation and write some tools to create several derivative forms, such as human readable documentation that resembles (to the extend allowed) the official CF documentation, some form that can be imported in CF Studio Tag Completion, something readable by UDFDoc etc. Probably not something for you if you need to have your docs finished yesterday, but just wondering if there is any interest.

Just generate enough and you will get duplicates. But the problem is more with the following: In CF, you could use : myUUID = Mid(CreateUUID(),1,4); to get the first 4 chars of a CF generated ID. Apart from using Left() instead of Mid() :-), just because the UUID is unique does not mean the first 4 characters are unique. With 4 ASCII characters you can have only 4 billion different combinations anyway, and with 4 HEX characters only 65536 different combinations.

Re: migrate data stored by cf 4.5 to cfmx (unicode problem?)
Quoting Toby Tremayne [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've been searching through the online forums and docs but can't find anything that actually tells me how to do this. I have a database (msaccess) full of data stored by a cf application being run under 4.5 for most of it's life then cf 5.0 for a while. What charset is this data using? When I transport the data from the access DB to my new postgres DB on a linux server I use a CF script, as the table structure has changed - that script is run on the windows machine. All runs fine, but when I go to view the application from the new installation it's full of junk characters (square symbols and questrion marks). I'm assuming this is something to do with the fact that earlier versions of cf screwed up the unicode encoding and cfmx apparently has gotten it right - but I can't find anything on a method for fixing this! If the data in Access is visible correctly when using Access it self it is not a normal unicode issue. Which CF version did you use to move the data? Which client_encoding did you set in PostgreSQL during the migration? Did you set up the PostgreSQL database to use unicode (WITH ENCODING 'UNICODE')? Can't you use the pgAdmin database migration wizard to move the data from Access to PostreSQL and then use built-in functionality to transform the data?

Re: CF Database Options
Quoting paul smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]: For some time, I have run the main listing database at www.SMARTERyellowpages.com as read-only, being more than a little paranoid about it. Obviously, this means the queries are read only. How have you set the database to read-only? But this complicates updating the database, which I do every 24 hours. Since so many queries are cached, CFQUERYPARAM is of no help in preventing SQL Injection. The vast majority of these are amenable to using VAL to prevent SQL Injection. What are your thoughts on not having the database read-only, or any other related issues, and (me, not users) being able to update a running database? Just some thoughts: - query caching does not necessarily have to happen through the cfquery tag - you could use multiple logins to the database, a readonly login and a normal one for instance - use something not CF to update the database Jochem ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Making CFObject secure on a Shared host?
Quoting Oliver Cookson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is it possible to use CFOBJECT securely on a shared host. (I.e.not being able to view the service factory) Don't focus on the servicefactory. Not being able to access the servicefactory does not mean it is secure. You could for instance use java.io.* to get filesystem access and change the XML files from which CF reads startup settings. All you need then is to force a server reload. On the other hand, having access to the servicefactory is not completely insecure either. In a properly set up sandbox you would still lack permissions to write the XML files with the new settings to disk. Seems a shame that everyone on a shared host loses ALOT of functionality! If the problem is that big you should either get a customtag installed, move to a dedicated server or find some host that runs different customers under different instances (which will most likely not be a cheap account). Or rethink why you need cfobject access. Do you think there plans to make CFOBJECT more useable on shared hosts? I don't see how it could be more useable without sacrificing security. The whole point of cfobject is the ability to access arbitrary classes. You can't know what arbitrary classes do nor whether they integrate into the CF MX security framework. Even though they might be secure, you can't guarantee that.

RE: Goodbye cruel world
Quoting Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I fail to see how it can be exploited?My AV software will capture the bad things, my firewall will block ALL types of traffic coming into my machine by default. All uncessary ports have been disbled from listening and the only ones I have open are the ones I know I require. I do not see how one unfiltered URL data in a CFML page can exploit the machine? What if the URL data causes some MS SQL Server stored procedure to be executed which does an HTTP request (outbound, so not filtered), and retreives a modified IRC client. The next malfomed URL data causes the IRC client to be executed, through MS SQL Server again, upon which the IRC client establishes a connection to some remote host (outbound, so not filtered) and reports back a 'ready to accept commands' message. Firewalls set to refuse inbound traffic on unknown ports actually provide little security. An even easier example; what if you didn't follow the recommended procedures and you are running an old CF version with the documentation installed? Gives you file system access through the cffile examples so you can upload whatever you want and then use cfexecute to run it. Would your firewall refuse that traffic? Statefull firewalls that monitor both in- and outbound traffic are a little better, they would stop the first example, but in the end security is an all out effort. You need to implement it at every level, not just at the gate.

Re: 5 week rotation
Quoting Kennerly, Rick H CIV [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have 5 fixed-text items in a database that need to rotate display on a weekly basis, rotating weekly on Monday (week one: item one; week two, item two). Obviously the purpose of having 5 items is so that the same piece is not displayed on the same week of the month every month (they rotate forward one week each month). It's not an ad, it's a lunch menu. I can't work out an query that will work. Any elegant query ideas? If they have ID's 1 to 5 it would be something like: SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = Floor((EXTRACT(DAY FROM (CURRENT_DATE - 'startdate')) % 35)/7) + 1 With startdate some arbitrary startdate. (The extensive math is to prevent a quick repeat at the end of the year, the number of weeks in a year is not a multiple of 5.) Okay, any ideas at all? More diet variation?
