Are you in the Hartford area, and have an interest in Linux and FOSS, and want to meet a group of like-minded people? Come join the Greater Hartford GNU/Linux Users Group!
I attended for the first time last night (2014-01-30), and will look to attend regularly (monthly). Checkout the Meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/GHGLUG/
Today marks the completion of a full year at Red Hat. It has been an incredible year! I find myself positively challenged daily, working with some of the smartest people I have ever met — both my colleagues within Red Hat, and the customers I get to work with. I get the privilege of being able to work with Open Source technologies, and bring them to a great variety of enterprises. And I have even found my niche within Red Hat’s Identity Management space (imagine that!).
I do miss my team and other friends at UConn. UConn gave me great opportunity, both to gain strong technical skills, and to experience leadership, both formally as management, and informally as a mentor and vocal innovator. I place great value in those first 13 years of my professional career, and I look forward to achieving similar gains in my next 13 years!
(Warning: Shameless Plug)
I recently had the opportunity to join Gordon Haff ( Red Hat’s Cloud Evangelist ) and Ellen Newlands ( Red Hat’s Security and Identity Product Management) for a discussion about Identity Management and Cryptography. Check out what we had to say (audio or text) on Gordon’s Cloudy Chat Podcast .
Great post titled Remember when you issued that command…? by Mitch @ UConn on how to include the date/time of each command in your Bash history.
My preference is for ISO8601 time formatting, so I am using:
$> echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "' >> ~/.bash_profile
But of course, any ‘date’ formatting will work ( see “man date” for more information ).
My development activities on mod_auth_cas have significantly reduced over the past couple of years. In trying to reinvigorate my development cycles around mod_auth_cas, I needed to deploy a CAS server. Deploying CAS is already pretty straightforward — install Tomcat, generate SSL certs, deploy the CAS war, and enjoy. However, I wanted to automate this process to make it easier to repeatedly redeploy a completely clean environment.
So, I have just posted jasig-cas-quickdemo to GitHub.
jasig-cas-quickdemo is a Maven project that does the following:
Try the following on Fedora 19+:
$ yum install maven git $ git clone https://github.com/forsetti/jasig-cas-quickdemo.git $ cd jasig-cas-quickdemo $ mvn integration-test
Then just point your browser to https://localhost:8443/cas , and you should see the default CAS login screen.
