Access control in Apache with LDAP

Jan 07, 08 by Juan Lebrijo about LDAP, Web, security, blog

Our target is that when is acceded the directory http://www.midominio.com/privado/, our server makes access control, then it ask for an user/password, and validate trough our directory server. As usually, we install over Debian etch server, with Apache/2.2.3. We are based on oficial documentation, we need availabel the following modules:

~# cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
~# ln -s ../mods-available/auth_basic.load auth_basic.load
~# ln -s ../mods-available/authnz_ldap.load authnz_ldap.load
~# ln -s ../mods-available/ldap.load ldap.load
~# /etc/init.d/apache restart

After thet we will write the Location directive in our VirtualHost:

<Location "/privado/">
                AuthBasicProvider ldap
                AuthType Basic
                AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
                AuthName "Archivos privados"
                AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap.midominio.com:389/dc=midominio,dc=com"
                require valid-user
        </Location>

This an very basic access control LDAP based. We could aply the "require group administrators" directive and we only allow access for the Administrators LDAP group. Or we could make this control in .htaccess file, if you do not have permissions to edit Apache configuration. At last, better way in the original source or googling a bit.

Flash basics 09: Interpolation by form

Dec 31, 07 by Juan Lebrijo about Flash, blog

To close this series we are going to show two curiosities more: form interpolation, and object libraries in Flash 8 integrated.

Form interpolation

Norma is the movement interpolation, but this interpolation is greater. Mark in the initial frame form animation type:

To interpolate photos we have the following objects: symbol, groups or bit maps. Convert them in "form". As: Manu Modify --> Separate. We can see the example (source):

Common libraries

We have the usual objects as the buttons in: Windows --> Common libraries:

Flash básico 09: Interpolaciones de forma

Dec 31, 07 by Juan Lebrijo about Flash, blog

Para cerrar la serie contaremos dos curiosidades más: las interpolaciones de forma, y las bibliotecas de objetos ya integradas en el entorno Flash 8.

Interpolación de forma

La directa es la interpolación de movimiento, pero esta interpolación es más espectacular. Se marca seleccionando el frame inicial:

Para interpolar fotos no valen los siguientes objetos: símbolo,grupo o mapa de bits. Hay que convertirlos en "forma". Como: Menu "Modificar-->Separar. Podemos ver el ejemplo (fuente):

Bibliotecas comunes

Tenemos los objetos más habituales, como botones: Ventana --> Bibliotecas comunes:
