Kerberos Issue

2011-11-14 Thread Simon Reed
Hi All,

Having a bit of a tricky Kerberos issue with passing a credential through
to SQL server from a 4.0 WCF REST service. I've been trying to set up
Kerberos to get this working as multi hop will be an issue with the final
solution and currently i'm getting Login failed for user 'NT
AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' on all requests.
Looking at the set up for Kerberos I need to be able to set the delegation
trust for this server by adding the MSSQLSvc in AD, but in the list of
available services MSSQLSvc does not appear. I have registered the SPN
MSSQLSvc/SERVERNAME:Port Account but no luck.
I'm feeling a bit out of my depth here anyone got any ideas what step I've
missed?

Cheers,
Si

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your reply, I was already following your blog for the setup when
I discovered the missing service entry :), is there any reason the SPN
would not be registered during SQL setup? I have now added the MSSQLSvc SPN
manually (setspn) and everything seems to be working ok but would like to
avoid this happening in the future if possible.

Cheers,
Simon

  Hi,

 The MSSQLSvc SPN should be registered automatically during SQL Server
 setup. It would appear under the computer account or user account that the
 SQL Server services are running under.

 ** **

 Then, you need to permit delegation at your front tier (hosting your web
 service) to the backend SQL Server.

 ** **

 Adding extra (duplicate) SPNs will break Kerberos, so make sure you need
 to add this SPN before you do.

 ** **

 http://www.adopenstatic.com/cs/blogs/ken/archive/2007/01/28/1282.aspx is
 how you set this up for standard IIS and SQL Server (the delegation bit).
 You’ll probably want to read part 3 on ensuring you are using Kerberos to
 your front-tier box. There’s a list of the Kerberos FAQs here:

Re: [OT] WP7 Handset/device

2010-11-04 Thread Simon Reed
I picked up the Mozart day after release and am happy with it, that being
said I haven't seen/used any other WP7 phones. Camera is good and build
quality of the phone is solid, battery life is ok with wireless off and not
so good 12 hours with it on.

  If it is on Optus, Three or Voda, they use the 2100Mhz  900Mhz 3G
 bands, so you're pretty much set on 7 out of the 9 launch devices support
 those bands.
 
  The REAL device apart from the HTC Mozart is the Dell Venue Pro, but it
 isn't on the 850Mhz band, but has Gorilla Glass, AMOLED screen, expansive

  Subject: [OT] WP7 Handset/device
 
  Does anyone know where you can buy a WP7 Handset/device outright without
 a plan?
 
  Telstra are selling them I think but there price is pretty high and only
 have 2 phones
 http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2010/10/telstra-sets-outright-buy-prices-for-windows-phone-7-handsets/
 
  What do people think about buying a handset from overseas to try and get
 a better price?
  e.g. ATT are selling phones for 199.99 USD, but I don't know the
 details as in it this is on some kind of plan or just the handset outright?
 or if the handset will be locked to ATT etc...
 
  I like the look of the Samsung Omnia 7 from Optus
 
  the The HTC Mozart, has a better camera 8 Mega Pixel
 
  what models do people think is best and why?
 
  in the US there is a Samsung Focus which people seem to like a lot, is
 the Samsung Omnia 7 basically the same/Australian version?
 
  Is there going to be any advantage to getting a phone on a plan, rather
 then getting a handset and putting in my own Sim card?
  e.g. will the phone company have any extra features I will not get if I
 just put in my own Sim card?
 
  these are/seem to be the options for Australian handsets
 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-au/buy/7/phones.aspx#mode=all
  as I said above I like the Samsung Omnia 7 so any comments on why I
 should or should not choose a different model would be great
 
  thanks noobie

Re: verdict on kindle/ebook reader?

2010-09-03 Thread Simon Reed
Can't comment on AMOLED as I haven't used one before but I would think as
the device is still a light generating source as opposed to a eInk which
requires another source to read the same strain would occur. However I know
people who have no issue with reading from a standard lcd for hours on end
which would drive me insane.

For anyone looking I would say beg, borrow or steal one of each variety
before buying and go with what suits (note I am not endorsing stealing :) ).
How energy efficient are the new AMOLED devices anyway?

I have had good results using mobipocket, it's not perfect but does a
reasonable job and yes ePub is the way to go just need to copy the file over
via usb and you're away. Most issues are around large detailed images and
for some reason book covers (?) but the result is very useable and all text
including code samples are converted well. Amazon has it's own convertor for
Kindle owners via email but I haven't tried it as yet. Not used Calibre and
wasn't aware of it till now, I may give it a try over the w/end and report
back.

Purchased technical books direct from Amazon in Kindle format are very good
and it looks as if more publishers are jumping on the band wagon.

Apparently the engine for PDF has been improved from 2-3 gen but I have not
experienced it first hand, currently have an unconfirmed shipping date of
the 10th. So if a Kindle is for you be prepared to wait...
