Tomcat CAN Accept Apache User
I've run into this from time-to-time, and usually not had to bother with it as authentication usually happens within an application, but on this project I'm trying to enforce the SSO a bit more, so I needed to get Apache to pass Tomcat the user that it has used to authenticate. Should you need to do the same, here's the two-word solution.
March 10 Might Have Been Right
Today the alley won. I concede to the smarter riders that maybe I was too ambitious in my efforts to ride early and often.
Alley Of Doom
Not really the alley of doom, but just the alley of "what kind of fool are you to think it's OK to ride your motorcycle down that?"
Motorcycle Season Begins
It was so warm (35F) and sunny on Saturday that I decided to break out the Valkyrie and see about blowing some of that stale gas out the carburetors, and try to get it ready for real riding.
Too Many Moving Parts
After being roused at the seemingly normal 3AM sneeze attack, some part of my slumbering consciousness realized the HVAC was blowing a little extra, but that the furnace wasn't on (the air was moving, but not warm). Then my lesser-conscious parts reminded my more conscious parts that we have an air exchanger. This further reminded me that the air exchanger has a filter. Further, I was reminded that this filter needs to be cleaned every month or so. and that I haven't cleaned it for so long I can't remember when I did this last. Whoops.
Checking just now, sure enough, equal parts nylon mesh filter stuff and grubby stuff that got filtered. I rinsed the reusable filter mesh bit in the tub, getting rid of the filtered stuff. I'm now running the filters through the laundry now (washer only; I'll hang them and let them drip-dry for a bit).
Hopefully tonight will be free of the usual overnight sneeze-fest.
Put on the Spot: Biggest Hack?
Today I had a meet-and-greet with the new client. Not an interview, as I'd already satisfied those curiosities, but just a "meet the team and banter a little bit" ice-breaker. Six new names to remember, with faces to match; a game I know I always lose, but at least they're normal guys with normal-enough names.
Unless I've got that awkward misread and now they think I'm some kind of big loser, it seems like it might be a groovy group to work with. Lots of techno-geek power, and all with more social skills than I have. Well, they all knew each other.
Query So Slow
Running a query to trim database to records just in last 30 days. Cutting too much times out, so trimming from long ago to less long ago. Query for four months ago took 90 minutes. Query for three months ago still churning ten hours later.
