All: I recently wrote an LDAP library for Ruby called Net::LDAP, and I''ve noticed that quite a few people are using it to do authentication and authorization for Rails apps. I know there are several well-done login generators for Rails, but what about people that would rather use a directory? If we were to write a generator for Rails that used LDAP (or A/D) as the backend, would

We''re pleased to announce version 0.0.3 of Net::LDAP, the first pure-Ruby LDAP library. Net::LDAP intends to be a feature-complete LDAP client which can access as much as possible of the functionality of the most-used LDAP server implementations. This library does not wrap any existing native-code LDAP libraries, creates no Ruby extensions, and has no dependencies external to Ruby.

Mother always told me that there'd be days like this. She just didn't tell me that they go on for weeks. OK - John's book suggests that we're not complete in this arena here...Yeah, I bought the Samba 3 How-to-guide - Borders/Phoenix had 3 on the shelf (now 2) - and also an LDAP book for reference. It's been a fun weekend ;-) problemo... # smbpasswd -x -i MULLEN

Hello, I need to generate a unique ID, so far I''ve unit tested this under 100000 iterations and it seems to work : now.to_i.to_s + ''-'' + now.usec.to_s + ''-'' + rand(1000).to_s Is there a better way ? Thanks Notes : 1) without usec, few percents of generated values are not uniques 2) the id generated is a string so the presence of

I occasionally get a fatal error unable to delete epoll event: Bad file descriptor I think the attached patch will fix it. The patch does two things: 1) changes the error we look for from ENOENT to EBADF. It is hard to reproduce this error, but if I change the epoll_ctl line to epoll_ctl(epfd, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 666, ed->GetEpollEvent()); it does return -1 with errno = EBADF on my Linux 2.6.9

Announcing version 0.0.4 of Net::LDAP, the pure-Ruby LDAP library. Thanks to the many people who have used this library and sent in comments, suggestions, feature requests, and patches. An even bigger thank-you to the folks who have made themselves available to help with testing. Net::LDAP has been quite stable for several months now, so we bumped the development status of the library up to

I''m using the current release branch from the repository (version_0) on freebsd 6.1 with ruby 1.8.4. This is the error that is generated when running the code below at the bottom of the message, plus a gdb bt. Sorry no debugging symbols built into ruby but maybe the bt will help anyways. terminate called after throwing an instance of ''std::runtime_error'' what():

My Rails application requires a very busy worker process running in the background at all times. I am launching this non-interactive process using script/runner. This process is very busy and is communicating with the MySQL server constantly. As I started putting some load on the system to test, I started running into performance issues. I have since discovered that Rails is only using 1

Dear UseRs!, Everything about UseR! 2010 was terrific! I really mean "everything" - the tutorials, invited talks, kaleidoscope sessions, focus sessions, breakfast, snacks, lunch, conference dinner, shuttle services, and the participants. The organization was fabulous. NIST were gracious hosts, and provided top notch facilities. The rousing speech by Antonio Possolo, who is the chief

Is there a way to authenticate with an IP address? I''m using the LoginGenerator, but would like to bypass the "before_filter :login_required " if a user is in a correct IP range... Anyone know of a solution? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve actually found a way to make EventMachine listen to events from a serial port, but only by using the pure Ruby version, using Guilliame Pierronnet''s Ruby/SerialPort library. It turned out to be simpler than I thought it would be: require ''serialport'' $eventmachine_library = :pure_ruby require ''eventmachine'' module EventMachine class

Hi, Anyone got any cool tricks for converting a Rails site (in this case, a typo installation) from a mysql database to a postgresql database? I''ve got it almost working -- I''m doing a SQL dump from mysql and loading it into postgres. However, mysql does booleans as a tinyint with 0 = false and 1 = true. When I try to import that into a postgres database that expects booleans

Dear R useRs, I have a problem with nls.lm function of minpackl.lm package. I need to fit the Van Genuchten Model to a set of data of Theta and hydraulic conductivity with nls.lm function of minpack.lm package. For the first fit, the parameter estimates keep changing even after 1000 iterations (Th) and I have a following error message for fit of hydraulic conductivity (k); Reason for

Hi everyone, If you subclass EventMachine::Connection and call it outside an EventMachine::run event loop, EventMachine crashes! Example: class Put < EventMachine::Connection include EventMachine::Deferrable HOST="localhost" PORT=8080 def self.request(data) EventMachine.connect(HOST, PORT, self) {|c| c.instance_eval { @data = data } } end #

Hello, I have been looking at the Ruby/EventMachine. First let me say it look very good. Reactor model with no threads makes for fast reliable server, and I have read about marvelous Twisted framework for Python and am glad to see something similar for Ruby. I am writing network app with Ruby threads now and it very slow, and I try new Ruby 1.9 with native threads that make it much slower.

Is getsockname (or its equivalent) available to an EM Connection object? I''d like to access the local port number in my client application. --Michael

Participants in the R User Conference, useR! 2010, July 21-23, (http://R-project.org/useR-2010) will each receive a t-shirt, thanks to the sponsorship of Mango Solutions (http://www.mango-solutions.com/). This email is a call for designs for the front of the t-shirt. The design should be made using a single color of your choice. The design should be in the form of a high-resolution (at least

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any preferences or ideas for an interface for SSL certificates, both client-side and server-side? At present, the only interface is EventMachine::Connection#start_tls, which uses a built-in self-signed cert on the server side. On the cilent side, it accepts any well-formed cert (that is, it doesn''t check that the remote cert is signed by a trusted authority).
