The current process uses a salt and roughly 40 character unique hash which is then encrypted and base64 encoded so that it can be safely be transported via email and in theory come back safely through...
I'm wonder how people are kicking people out or blocking access to a site when you want to do an upgrade and you have users that are logged in. My one thought is to just put a bool setting in a global file (such as the settings file) for whether or not the site is unavailable. True is available, while false is unavailable. When false, t...
I've setup a new SVN repository, running SVNServe, in the conf file, anon-access = none. SVNServe faithfully does that correctly, but when I try to browse the repos using TortoiseSVN, it just says access is not allowed. Shouldn't it ask me for the user name and password instead? How do I get TortoiseSVN to ask me for the login details?...
