| The Latest from www.leastprivilege.com | MORE | | Identity in.NET 4.5–Part 3: (Breaking) changes Tooling has become better and the new test STS makes it very easy to get started. I recently started porting a private build of Thinktecture.IdentityModel to.NET 4.5 and noticed a number of changes. The good news is that I can delete large parts of my library because many features are now in the box. Along the way I found some other nice additions. ClaimsIdentity now has methods to query the claims collection, e.g. HasClaim() , FindFirst() , FindAll(). ClaimsPrincipal has those methods as well. But they work across all contained identities. Assembly Microsoft.IdentityModel is gone. www.leastprivilege.com - Wednesday, April 4, 2012 Identity in.NET 4.5–Part 1: Status Quo (Beta 1) In addition Vittorio announced just today the beta availability of a new wizard/configuration tool that makes it easier to do common things like federating with an IdP or creating a test STS. Go get the Beta and the tools and start writing claims-enabled applications! NET 4.5 is a big release for claims-based identity. WIF becomes part of the base class library and structural classes like Claim , ClaimsPrincipal and ClaimsIdentity even go straight into mscorlib. But it is more than simply merging assemblies; in fact claims are now a first class citizen in the whole.NET Framework. www.leastprivilege.com - Friday, March 16, 2012 Thinktecture IdentityServer Azure Edition RC Deploy the package via the portal or other tools. I found some time over the holidays to finalize the Azure edition of IdentityServer. link]. The biggest difference to the on-premise version (and earlier Azure betas) is, that by default IdSrv now uses Azure Storage for all data storage (configuration & user data). This means that there is no need anymore for SQL Azure (which is still supported out of the box – just not the default anymore). The download includes a readme file with setup instructions. In a nutshell: Create a new hosted service and upload your certificates. www.leastprivilege.com - Friday, January 27, 2012 | | The Best from www.leastprivilege.com | MORE | | Fiddler Inspector for Federation Messages Fiddler is a very useful tool for troubleshooting all kinds of HTTP(s) communications. It also features various extensibility points to make it even more useful. Using the inspector extensibility mechanism, I quickly knocked up an inspector for typical federation messages (thanks for Eric Lawrence btw). Below is a screenshot for WS-Federation. also added support for SAML 2.0p request/response messages: The inspector can be downloaded from the identitymodel Codeplex site. Simply copy the binary to the inspector folder in the Fiddler directory. www.leastprivilege.com - Saturday, September 11, 2010 Identity in.NET 4.5–Part 1: Status Quo (Beta 1) In addition Vittorio announced just today the beta availability of a new wizard/configuration tool that makes it easier to do common things like federating with an IdP or creating a test STS.

To play around with peer name registration and resolution, I wrote a little tool that makes this easy (yes - I know all this functionality is also available via netsh - but I wanted something more specialized). Registering. Resolving. PeerName.zip (27.31 www.leastprivilege.com - Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - What I like about WIF’s Claims-based Authorization
And without further tooling and abstractions the CheckAccess method quickly becomes *very* complex. In “traditional”.NET NET with its IPrincipal interface and IsInRole method, developers were encouraged to write code like this: public void AddCustomer( Customer customer). {. if ( Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole( "Sales" )). {. // add customer. }. }. In code reviews I’ve seen tons of code like this. What I don’t like about this is, that two concerns in your application get tightly coupled: business and security logic. This is clearly not what we want. This is a good thing. try. {. www.leastprivilege.com - Friday, April 29, 2011 - Switching to WIF SessionMode in ASP.NET
While playing around, I also wrote a little diagnostics tool that allows you to look into the session cookie (for educational purposes). To make it short: to switch to SessionMode (cache to server) in ASP.NET, you need to handle an event and set a property. Sounds easy – but you need to set it in the right place. The most popular blog post about this topic is from Vittorio. He advises to set IsSessionMode in WSFederationAuthenticationModule_SessionSecurityTokenCreated. Now there were some open questions on forum, like this one. object sender, SecurityTokenValidatedEventArgs e). {. www.leastprivilege.com - Wednesday, November 2, 2011 - Thinktecture IdentityServer Azure Edition RC

FedUtil (a tool that ships with WIF) can generate such metadata for the most simple cases. Another tool to create metadata can be found here. In part 1 of this series I briefly gave an overview of the ADFS / WS-Trust infrastructure. In part 2 we created a basic WCF service that uses ADFS for authentication. This part will walk you through the steps to register the service in ADFS 2. could provide screenshots for all the wizard pages here – but since this is really easy – I just go through the necessary steps in textual form. Step 1 – Select Data Source. We choose ‘Manual’ here. www.leastprivilege.com - Tuesday, October 12, 2010 - Migrating a Local IdentityServer Membership Database to SQL Azure

There is a setup tool that can automatically insert the certificate distinguished names into your config file. I just uploaded two new releases to Codeplex. IdentityServer B1 refresh. number of bug fixes and streamlined extensibility interfaces. Mostly a result of adding the Windows Azure support. Nothing has changed with regards to setup. Make sure you watch the intro video on the Codeplex site. IdentityServer B1 (Windows Azure Edition). have now implemented all repositories for Windows Azure backed data storage.

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile. m no fan of Jira, or any other electronic tool but most team use one so nothing odd so far. 'Consider this blog an Agile Clinic. On Friday an e-mail dropped into my mailbox asking if I could help. The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go. Sprints last three weeks, including planning, development and testing. Yikes! Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, April 28, 2013 A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools Back in the early days, there really were no management tools analogous to RDBMS tools (e.g. It’s time to look around and see what management / monitoring tooling is around these days for MongoDB.

The lack of management tools was hurting MongoDB’s adoption in the early days. The news is good. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Monday, April 22, 2013 Requirements and Specifications Having worked through this I conclude that BDD is an excellent specification tool. Now, while BDD and SbE may well give Developers first class specification tools these tools should not be mistaken for requirements tools and shouldn’t be used as such. 'As I was saying in my last blog, I’m preparing for a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” which I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. So I turned to my bookshelves…. nothing. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Building Windows Machines in Amazon EC2
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Tags: Articles Tools In this article I'm going to give you a simple, step-by-step overview of how to create a Windows 2008 server image in Amazon's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) infrastructure. Now I must admit I'd rather have found a good tutorial on The Internets or even in a book. Feel free to send me any I missed. My experience is they are either dated or about Linux and so on. First, briefly why does one care about EC2? Here we go. Create an Account. Enable EC2 Features. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Saturday, January 30, 2010 - The NoSQL Movement, LINQ, and MongoDB - Oh My!
The NoSQL movement asks the question: “Is the relational database (RDBMS) always the right tool for data storage and data access?”. You may have to run a transformation tool if you’re making radical data changes, but that’s true in SQL systems as well. To get started, download MongoDB the tools and server here: [link]. Generally I look down upon that sort of development, but for an admin tool it’s just fine. All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Insanity!” Flat files? Related classes? Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 11 Killer Open Source Projects I Found with NuGet
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Articles ASP.NET NoSQL Open Source Tools Visual StudioSo maybe I'm late to the party, but I recently started playing with NuGet. It's a killer new way to find, install, maintain, and manage references to open source libraries in Visual Studio 2010. Plenty of people have written about it ( Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman for example). Let's just say you should learn about NuGet if you don't know it already. RazorEngine at [link]. YUI Compressor for.Net at [link]. Here you go. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools

Power Tools making it even easier to do Code First development with an existing database. The EF team at Microsoft just release a first CTP of the EF 4.1 Guess it isn’t really code first in that case but database first I did a quick test with an existing database, Northwind to be exact, and it worked pretty well. The only gotcha is you have to make sure the EF4.1 assemblies are available in your project otherwise you will receive the exception below. Adding Ef4.1 is easy though, just download the installer and install them or even better, just add a package reference using NuGet. Enjoy! The Problem Solver - Thursday, May 19, 2011 %>
