Can someone please explain to me why I get two different results when running the same software? I've got a .NET Core application running with IIS.
When I access it as http://localhost/foo it all works as expected. I authenticate properly.
When I access it as http://machine.domain.com/foo I get a credentials dialog appear, asking me to enter a username/password and no matter what I type in I can't get it to authenticate.
It's the same piece of software running on the same box. The only difference is the URL I'm using to access it. My guess is that it must be something on the network causing this problem.
Btw, this machine is just being accessed across a corporate lan. Not the internet.

I am currently in the beginnings of developing an integrated Sonos app, and to get a better understanding of what needs to happen, I downloaded Sonos's provided sample server for the "Acme" service.
On first use, I was able to get it working and was able to play songs from the static directory that was provided within the package. However, after closing the server, leaving my computer for some time, and booting it back up again with ./gradlew bootRun, I noticed that I was not able to use the sample service anymore. On the window to link the sample account, it said that there was an error in authenticating and that it might be an issue with the connection.
First things first, I rebooted everything I could reboot. Turned the gradle server on then off. Removed the service and created it again. I even did a factory reset and put the Sonos device (PLAY:1 variety) on a different network at the office. The sample service still won't authenticate.
What could be causing the authentication for the sample Acme service to stop working just like that on every network? I should mention that I have been using the same config settings ever since I got it to work the first time, so it should not be a problem with my configurations in the customSD page. Also, I have not changed any code within the sample server.
TL;DR: The Sonos sample server worked one time for me, and hasn't worked since on multiple networks and devices, even after a factory reset. What could be causing this issue?
It sounds like the player possibly can't find the sample server any more. When you set up the service via customsd, you used an ip address for the endpoint. Is it possible that ip address has changed?
I wrote a small application which needs access to Google API with OAuth2 and which is typically run on maybe a Raspberry Pie to reduce power consumption since it needs to run pretty much 24/7. The device my application runs on is typically connected a LAN at home.
The user controls the application using a web interface from a PC/Tablet/... in the same network. However the web application is reachable from the LAN only, it cannot (and should not for security reasons) be accessed over the Internet, because it hides behind a NAT and/or a firewall.
The documentation states that I have the following options:
Web server applications
This forces me to use a redirect URL which must be known in advance. Since my app is most likely accessed by a dynamic private IP address, there is no way I know the URL in advance.
Installed applications
Yes, that would work. I just need people to copy and paste the returned code into a web form of mine. However that is somewhat uncool.
Client-side (JavaScript) applications
This does not give me a refresh token which I totally need.
Applications on limited-input devices
Polling? Well... If it works... However it requires the user to match a code shown on the device with a code displayed in the webbrowser. If I use that I can just as well ask the user to copy&paste the code returned by the installed app mode.
As far as I can see the copy&paste the code with installed app is my best chance. Is it really? Or is there is possibility to get along without that bit?
I have a service account in windows 2008 application server to achieve word to pdf conversion. 3-4 days back everything was working fine and all of a sudden the functionality shut down.
I dig into details. The information I got is as below:
When I log in with that service account and try to achieve that functionality, I'm able to do it.
When I log off with service account and try to achieve that functionality, I'm not able to do it.
Conclusion: Somehow the service account gets inactive.
The problem is very weird and i tried each and every combination of permission in Dcom config. Any help in right direction is highly appreciated. Thank a ton in advance.
You already tried to check the Password Never Expires and User Cannot Change The Password options in Active Directory Users and Computers?
Also, try to re-install the application on the machine. If the application cannot run as Windows Service, use the SRVANY.EXE utility to register you application.
I'm currently developing a simple multiplayer game app for Android and I need to have a server to which the users connect to.I'd like to set up this server at home. I have a dynamic IP address,so someone told me I'd have to set up a local DNS server or something like that. I'm not even sure where to start with setting up a DNS server, everything I found was for windows 2003 and linux. Nothing for XP? If any one can shed some light on this matter, explain a bit how setting a DNS works or supply a link with "setting up local DNS for dummies" I'd be grateful.
Also, besides setting up a DNS so I can find the server every time, how about the communication with it? I'd like for it to be as secure as possible. Another friend told me something about communicating via SSH, which is again something I am not accustomed to.
So if someone could explain some of these concepts or offer some GOOD link for that that would be great. I'm very confused :)
Thanks
EDIT
Btw, the server is in Java and currently i'm communicating from Android emulator to the server (which is localhost) via sockets.
That's not a simple thing you're trying to achive. First you have to create your own server on your machine (maybe you're done with this step), then you have to make this server available for everyone. At this point, I suggest the DynDNS service:
http://lifehacker.com/124804/geek-to-live--how-to-assign-a-domain-name-to-your-home-web-server
A local DNS by default help you to find your own servers by name instead of IP address, but if you have a usual internet service with dynamic IP, you need an external DNS provider to route your clients to your server. (read the link above for the full explanation)
About the SSH security: Yes, you will need some security settings indeed, but that could be a very hard problem sometimes. You can set your server to work with SSL sockets, which is a part of the core J2SE release. It will work against some sort of attack, but none against others. Running your own server will raise unexpected numbers of problems, prepare for that.
As already stated in the comment to your post, something like http://www.no-ip.com or http://www.dnsdynamic.org would solve the issue with your dynamic ip - You do not need a local DNS server.
With regards to communication, i believe that SSH is linux/unix only. Since you wish to use Windows for the server, FTP or Remote Desktop would be best. Choose FTP if all you want to do is manage your files, choose remote desktop if you wish to manage your entire computer. I've had good results with the FileZilla FTP server on windows (http://filezilla-project.org/)
With that said, i think you would be better off buying a simple and cheap hosted service instead of using your own computer - you can get something that can run your java app for $5/month some places, and compared with the annoyance of having a local server running in your house, it might be worth it.
I may be SOL on this but I thought I would give throw it out for possible solutions.
I am writing a computer access control service to help me control my kids' computer use. Plan on open sourcing it when I have it working. It is written in VB.Net and needs to work on XP through 7.
I am running into all sorts of security and desktop access issues on Windows 7. The service needs to run as admin to execute the NetSh command to disable the network. But I cannot interact with the desktop from the service so I IPC to a UI to handle other stuff, but I still cannot detect from the service if the desktop is locked. Argghh!
I could get it all working from a hidden windows form app if I could just lick the one piece that needs admin permissions: disabling the network.
It does no good if a kid logs on and denies the popup asking if the program should run as administrator and he says no. Also windows 7 will not start a program set to run as admin using
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Anyone know how to get this working? Or have an outside the box solution?
I wish I could provide some references, but I'm failing at my google-fu right now... but I'm pretty sure UAC doesn't apply to services. If you implement your program as a windows service application instead of a (hidden) windows forms application, and set it up to run for your kids' user accounts and not your own, that should work.
UPDATE
Found this on google, haven't played with it at all. Looks sound though... basically, CreateProcessAsUser to run the forms app from your service app that's running as administrator.
