Super simple question from an ASP newb: I've got an internal-only ASP.NET website I'm working on that uses Windows integrated auth across the board. There are essentially three roles I want to associate with the site: user, manager, and admin. The site is open to the entire org, so anyone who is authenticated is a user, unless they are a...

For the sake of simplicity I want to use admin links like this for a site: http://sitename.com/somegibberish.php?othergibberish=... So the actual URL and the parameter would be some completely random string which only I would know. I know security through obscurity is generally a bad idea, but is it a realistic threat someone can find...
In django admin I wanted to set up a custom filter by tags (tags are introduced with django-tagging) I've made the ModelAdmin for this and it used to work fine, by appending custom urlconf and modifying the changelist view. It should work with URLs like: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/reviews/review/only-tagged-vista/ But now I get 'inval...
I am going to be making a small user system but I have questions. If I were to make a registration table (mysql), what is wrong with just storing the password and username into the database without encryption? I am trying to think of how to build the admin portion. Should I just check a column in the database to see if user is admin or...

I've been using the Authlogic rails plugin. Really all I am using it for is to have one admin user who can edit the site. It's not a site where people sign up accounts. I'm going to end up making the create user method restricted by an already logged in user, but of course, when I clear the DB I can't create a user, so I have to prepopul...
The below code removes certain values from a drop down menu. It works fine but I want to remove the value if the user lacks certain permissions. How can I access request.user in the ModelForm's constructor? Or is there a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do? class AnnouncementModelForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(sel...

The installation will start, but during the copying process it promps "...
In the admin panel, when the admin selects an action it will load data from an API and save it to the DB. It could take from 2 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on what he is importing. How can I do in Symfony to create like a thread, so the admin is not waiting to finish. And when it's finished tell him to check the result? Are the task...
I have a website with a large number of admin generators to take care of an assortment of tables. Within the realm of authenticated users, I want to be able to deny access, not just to individual actions or fields, but an entire admin module. There doesn't appear to be a global credentials parameter for generator.yml, and putting stuff ...

As the resident TFS admin, on occasion I am asked to undo a checkout (usually a lock) that a user has on a certain file. This can be done via the command line using the TF.exe utility's Undo command (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c72skhw4.aspx), but that's kind of a pain. Is there a way to undo another user's checkout via...
