It is something that I have been wondering. When working with other application servers there is often/most of the time a 3 tiers/layers architecture: - Presentation layer/Web services - Application layer - Database layer They often resides on separate machines, 3 different sets. So the application code is logically AND physically separated from the presentation layer. Is this possible with

I was just wondering if this is still valid, or if there has been a new patch or new implementation that has superceded this patch. Any help would be great. The message I am referring to is as follows:

I'm doing some research to determine which components would be best to offer e-mail services to their client and allow the staff to manage accounts easily. I usually use virtual machines a lot for isolation and easy backups and migration (when a hardware node is

Hi, a few months ago I posted a message about using LDAP to store rsync secrets in LDAP. I received a response about patching the rsync source code with a patch file. I am now finally getting around to doing this, and when I tried to use the patch command 'patch --verbose ./rsync-2.5.6/authenticate.c rsync-ldap.patch' , it gives me the following error: Hmm... Looks like a unified diff

Hi Guys, I''ve got a rails application that uses activeldap to authenticate users. Its been working great for about 6 months now, but a user from mexico started using it recently, but can''t seem to login.

I''ve gotten ActiveLDAP working from the command line, but buggered if I can work out how on earth to integrate an ActiveLDAP object with a bunch of ActiveRecord objects. This is going to be possible right? I''m just going to have to build the whole scaffold myself for these objects? Just thought I''d check whether it

Hi, I''ve just started to do some work using ActiveLDAP and Rails. I''ve managed to get some basic login code that works to authenticate users, but I would like to be able to maintain that connection for the User Model so that the ACL''s in LDAP for each user will be used correctly as the various controller queries are made.
