    I enjoy when users think that the importance of their document, how long it is, or when it is due has any bearing on whether or not it can be recovered if they didn't bother to save it and word crashed on them.

    Does anyone know a good way to identify all TLS 1 devices on a given network?

    I'm not familiar with Incommon but it sounds like a straightforward SSO implementation, if I understand it right

    Shibboleth acts as an identity provider (IDP), authenticating to Incommon on the back end and offering SSO on the front end

    You set up your other websites as service providers that consume SAML tokens from Shibboleth

    I might have the details slightly wrong because I'm just extrapolating from other SSO platforms

    Sorry, possibly wasn't clear. I have Shibboleth working right now.

    What I'm looking to do, is due to college political stuff, we can't officially host our two apps (one live, one coming online), and our departmental site on the same servers. I have no effing idea why, but thems the rules (made by people who clearly don't do any sort of tech stuff).

    Which means I'd have to do three shib implementations, and it's just generally a pain. There's also the fact that one of the apps I build with some nginx and Node socket functionality, and getting Shib working on Nginx is a fucking nightmare (Like, have one of the Shib Consortium guys in my phone contacts at this point and we actually gave up and just switched back to Apache with our live app).

    So I'm looking to have one Apache server handle the authentication for both apps and our department site, and then have everything hosted on their own sandboxed servers because we have to make the people happy. I'm assuming I'd be authenticating, then setting my own HTTP headers and bouncing around within the internal project network to then create the sessions? But I actually have no idea if that's even a thing, or an awful idea, or what.

    nmap will do it with a script, but it's going to be pretty heavy handed and intrusive so could get picked up by security protections or cause performance degradation.

    nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 <host or network>

    You could also use more advanced tools like Nessus.

    Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

    I love it when a user lies to an executive, and we have a paper trail to prove that they lied.

    What do you all do for provisioning new/modifying users? We are in the constant free fall of trying to come up with solutions on our own, and none of them are really adequate. Something that is in the format of Form -> Approval -> Automation, though the automation bit can be handled by our back-end as long as there is decent interfacing (webhooks etc). Ideally free to cheap.

    I think I need to add a new line to my job description:

    -Professional bullshit writer.

    As in, I have to write bullshit so it doesn't sound like I'm calling you stupid when you are, in fact, stupid.

    I wrote a thing that grabs a CSV from our employee information database and creates all of the scripts I need to create a user. I spend a minute checking it over for sanity/collisions, and then around five minutes running the scripts and provisioning the email stuff. I could automate it a tiny bit more but it wouldn’t be worth the time, especially since we rarely hire anyone new.

    Was told by my boss to play nice with a vendor who complained today.
    Fortunately my boss, his boss, and his boss all know it's the vendor being ridiculous because I have offered (via email so there's a paper trail) to work with them on this problem day after day and they never responded or asked me.

    Little do they know, the more important the document and the sooner the deadline directly impacts the likelihood of the crash in the first place.

    So for those of you who have done the job search or getting hired thing recently, what do you do with your resume to get it seen? Or how did you format it?
    Should I start with experience and certifications?
    Work history?

    Put "DevOps" somewhere in it.

    That already exists in the form of multiple products. They're commonly refereed to as "consutlants" and "vendor support".

    What I don't get, is, if it fails to deliver a setup/validation link to the user, who cares? That's your filter right there for if the email worked. It's not 1996 anymore, they're not going to buffer overflow the email server if you accept a tilde.
