credentials

Overview I am currently in the process of creating an API for an image sharing app that will run on the web and sometime in the future, on mobile. I understood the logical parts of API building, but I'm still struggling to meet my own requirements for the authentication part. So, my API must be accessible to the world: those with guest access (non logged in people can upload, for example), and also to registered users. So when a registered user uploads, I obviously want the user information to be sent along with the request and to attach that user information to the uploaded image via foreign

I use a console application to write some test code: /// <summary> /// Returns AD information for a specified userID. /// </summary> /// <param name="ntID"></param> /// <returns></returns> public ADUser GetUser(string ntID) { DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(); search.Filter = String.Format("(cn={0})", ntID); search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail"); search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("givenName"); search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn"); search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("displayName"); search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("userPrincipalName"); search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn"); SearchResult result = search

For a regular .exe file i can always right click and select "run as..". How can i run a Click-Once application under different credentials in a similar way? I am talking about the application itself, not the installer. The answer really is no, you shouldn't do this. ClickOnce applications are installed under the user profile and belong only to that user. THey will not and do not work as an all-user installation. Also note that if you double-click on the [exe] file (the location of which changes every time there is an update), it will not look for updates, it will not check the files to make

Every time I want to config something with AWS I get the following error : "The config profile (myname) could not be found" like : aws configure I'm using Python 3.4 and I want to use AWS CLI Keyring to encrypt my credentials.. Stanley Yong I think there is something missing from the AWS documentation in http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/setup-awscli.html , it did not mention that you should edit the file ~/.aws/config to add your username profile. There are two ways to do this: edit ~/.aws/config or aws configure --profile "your username" I ran into this problem when I moved to a

How is Unix socket credential passing accomplished in Python? Internet searches on this topic came up with surprisingly few results. I figured I'd post the question and answer here for others interested in this topic. The following client and server applications demonstrate how to accomplish this on Linux with the standard python interpreter. No extensions are required but, due to the use of embedded constants, the code is Linux-specific. Server: #!/usr/bin/env python import struct from socket import socket, AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_SOCKET SO_PEERCRED = 17 # Pulled from /usr/include/asm

I'm trying to deploy a windows service using an MSBuild script that runs a Powershell command. The MSBuild script deploys the files I need and the PowerShell script will uninstall and reinstall the windows service using this command: Invoke-Command -ComputerName IPAddressHere -FilePath "C:\theScriptFileName.ps1" -credential "TheUserName" Using an IP address (which I need to because of different domains) I need to use credentials. The problem is that it prompts for a password, which won't work for TeamCity's automation. I know I can save the credentials into a variable so that the prompt won't
