Pepperdine University is intending to do some custom integration work with CAS and are looking to hire an experienced CAS developer as a freelancer. More information can be found in the archive of the Educause IDM list at http://listserv.educause.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0904&L=IDM&P=R597&D=0.

Has anyone had any experience with SilverStripe CMS (http://silverstripe.org/) or know if any MIT sites are using it?

Here is the URL to the page that gave me the tip that got polyeidus back up. We should be monitoring this for a couple of days.

So, this was really weird, clearing the 125 orphaned semaphores owned by the www user fixed the problem, and Apache started up with no more complaints.

Now, for what happened. In short, we do not know yet. There were no noticed errors before this, and once we hit this problem, the errors we got were:

After our last meeting, it was decided that we'd like to improve the theme for developers.mit.edu. I'd like to get this discussion started here in the forums. In particular I'm interested in collecting suggestions, and also hearing from people who are willing to assist in the development of a custom drupal theme... what their skills are, what they'd like to contribute, etc.

I'll start it out:

Suggestions:
- I'd like to see a theme with color scheme that reflects MIT better.
- I think the content on this theme is too narrow, so either widen it, or make it elastic.

The following post ended up in the Web Tech RT queue. I figured it belongs here:

Hi guys,
I am graduate student developing a new ASA database, since ASA is moving to moira lists as a way to manage group authority & permissions, I was wondering how/if you are able to access the moira without a kerberos user and ticket? Is there a way to get special access based on IP address?
Thank you for any help!

We are attempting to get java to consume a saml-secured webservice hosted by SAP. We are using SAML Sender-vouches. My problems started when I began looking at java stacks that support this SAML scenario. I started with apache cxf with wss4j, played around a bit, but found the documentation lacking/nonexistent. I also tried the sun stacks (xwss) but had little luck with them. Basically I need something that can construct the saml assertion, populate the issuer, name identifier, and name qualifier, sign it with a certificate, and include it all in a webservice request.

In our system-administration tasks with Drupal, my team found a couple of issues related to how Drupal handles files that other users might find useful to know about. I do not have workarounds.

We found with both Drupal and our Java app server that symlinking the base installation directory can cause problems. When I installed Drupal in /var/www.drupal-6.8 but pointed Apache to symlink /var/www/drupal, I got intermittent white screens. The Java server was similar, it resolves to real paths in its auto-generated configurations and that caused us problems during upgrades.

I have an application certificate requested from mitcerts in pkcs12 format. I'm now being asked for the public key of that cert, base64 encoded... is there some command to extract that with openssl? Is there something else I would need?

We are encountering these errors whenever an app is deployed and
initialized on our Oracle Application Servers.

I am not a Java guy, just a humble integrator trying to get a couple of canned java applications to run together in harmony.

I have two apps that say my log4j.properties file should be in common/classes and that my rootlogger be:

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R

For one of these to sets of properties, can I change "R" to some other value, or is this explicit because the app that's logging will be looking for "R"?

Here's the whole bit:

# Default log4j.properties for SASH Server
#
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
