Adding Two-Factor Authentication To JOSSO
Author: nowen • Tags: security • Comments: 0Adding Two-Factor Authentication To JOSSO WiKID Systems recently partnered with Atricore, the makers of JOSSO an enterprise-class SSO application. Both two-factor authentication and single sign-on have historically been expensive and complex affairs. Atricore and WiKID have both been addressing these issues by releasing easy-to-use, open-source software. These efforts merged when Atricore added native support for the WiKID Strong Authentication to their product JOSSO. In this tutorial you will see how easy it is to add two-factor authentication to JOSSO, creating a secure, easy-to-use solution for organizations needing SSO. JOSSO supports a wide variety of services including Tomcat, jBoss, Apache, IIS, Liferay, Weblogic, and Alfresco as well as cloud services such as Google Apps, Salesforce and SugarCRM. WiKID for its part supports Radius, LDAP and TACACS+ in addition to having an API. WiKID Software tokens run on Linux, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android, J2ME and others.

How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Debian Squeeze
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, high-availability, mysql •
Comments: 1 How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Debian Squeeze This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures though.

Comments: 2 The Perfect Server - Fedora 15 x86_64 [ISPConfig 2] This is a detailed description about how to set up a Fedora 15 server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable) with PHP5/Ruby/Python, Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Dovecot POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the 64-bit version of Fedora 15, but should apply to the 32-bit version with very little modifications as well. In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

Securing SSH On Ubuntu With WiKID Two-Factor Authentication
Author: nowen •
Tags: security, ubuntu •
Comments: 2 Securing SSH On Ubuntu With WiKID Two-Factor Authentication SSH offers a highly secure channel for remote administration of servers. However, if you face an audit for regulatory or business requirements, such as Visa/Mastercard PCI, you need to be aware of some potential authentication related short-comings that may cause headaches in an audit. In this document we are going to demonstrate how to combine two-factor authentication from WiKID on Ubuntu. First, we will configure a domain on the WiKID server, then add the targeted server as network clients to the WiKID server, and finally configure the Ubuntu box via pam-radius.

Comments: 2 VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.0 On A Headless Debian Squeeze Server This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 4.0 on a headless Debian Squeeze server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Comments: 3 The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 11 (Katya) This tutorial shows how you can set up a Linux Mint 11 (Katya) desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. Linux Mint 11 is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 11.04 that has lots of packages in its repositories (like multimedia codecs, Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Skype, Google Earth, etc.) that are relatively hard to install on other distributions; it therefore provides a user-friendly desktop experience even for Linux newbies.
