Doctrine-based CodeIgniter authentication/acl system

How can I validate/secure/authenticate a JavaScript-based POST request?

A product I'm helping to develop will basically work like this: A Web publisher creates a new page on their site that includes a <script> from our server.

Security in API authentication

We are in the process of revamping our server side API, and we need to manage security. Our current model requires that a credentials object (containing user, password, and pin) be included in each method invocation. Our development team, however, has decided that we should have session objects instead (which is fine by me), but the new ...

How to use SharpSVN in ASP.NET?

Trying to use use SharpSVN in an ASP.NET app. So far, it's been nothing but trouble. First, I kept getting permission errors on "lock" files (that don't exist), even though NETWORK SERVICE has full permissions on the directories.

Is there a Rails authentication library which separates users from login methods?

In my mental model of authentication, a user should be distinct from the way they log in. So for example, a User could have an associated EmailLogin (with an email/password), or they could have many (or none). Similarly they could have 0..* associated OpenIDLogin credentials. Are there any existing authentication libraries for Rails whi...

How do you authenticate user generated "apps" for your app?

I'm think something like Facebook apps here. User generated pieces of code that people can write to interact with my app. I understand how an authenticated API works, but this seems a little more complicated because not only does the APP have to authenticate itself (with a regular api-key) but the USER using the app has to be authentic...

How to scrape a _private_ google group?

Hi there, I'd like to scrape the discussion list of a private google group. It's a multi-page list and I might have to this later again so scripting sounds like the way to go.

Clearing TortoiseSVN authentication cache from the command line

TortoiseSVN is nice for the most part, but one thing that blows in a team development situation where more than one person is using a particular PC is the authentication. When I'm working on stuff, I like to save my credentials so that I don't need to keep entering it in for logging, branching, committing, etc. The problem is that I al...

Google's Oauth for Installed apps vs. Oauth for Web Apps

So I'm having trouble understanding something... If you do Oauth for Web Apps, you register your site with a callback URL and get a unique consumer secret key. But once you've obtained an Oauth for Web Apps token, you don't have to generate Oauth calls to the google server from your registered domain. I regularly use my key and token fr...

Advice? SSO in N-tiered SOA with mixture of REST and SOAP services

Hi gang, We are moving to SSO in our N-tiered SOA applications. If all the services were SOAP, I'd be ok with just the WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-Federation set of protocols. My problem is that many of the services are RESTful (ironic) and those protocols do not address REST services. What is your advice for SSO protecting the REST se...
