Coming Attractions: How to Find Domain Controllers for Fun and Profit (and your various LDAP operations…)

by @ Sunday, November 25th, 2018. Filed under tech

I previously wrote that many applications that are using Active Directory aren’t meeting even the lowest bar for proper Active Directory integration. That lowest bar being the ability to properly find an Active Directory domain controller to use for LDAP operations. This is something that regularly plagues me and it is ridiculous that it is […]

Yes yes I know I know…

by @ Sunday, November 25th, 2018. Filed under general

A while back I said, hey got a new job, will be spending more time posting stuff and learning news things and sharing that new learning. It started going in that direction but then my time started getting eaten up more and more with work and issues with people, issues with tech, issues with direction, […]

If you are looking for any custom artwork for the holidays or otherwise…

by @ Thursday, November 8th, 2018. Filed under general

The pictures do not do this justice. In person it looks 3D and made me gasp when I took it out of the box. My sister the official artist as in she makes art day in and day out painted it. She is amazing and can turn any picture or multiple pictures into just about […]

Digital Wallet

by @ Monday, October 15th, 2018. Filed under general

If you intend to sign up for a digital wallet anytime in the future consider using coinbase (I chose it[1]) and also consider using the following link for joining. If you use the link and buy at least $100 USD in Bitcoin you will get $10 USD (and so will I). http://link.joeware.org/coinbase Feel free to […]

Chrome and the “Not secure” Message in the address bar Part III

by @ Wednesday, September 5th, 2018. Filed under general

I think I have sorted out the issues with the downloads and have switched the www.joeware.net portion of the site to use https: scheme by default. If you have any issues downloading when you didn’t before, please let me know at support@joeware.net      joe Rating 4.50 out of 5

Chrome and the “Not secure” Message in the address bar Part Deux

by @ Wednesday, September 5th, 2018. Filed under general

Slowly getting there… For the blog, it should always force to a scheme of https://. The main website will still come up as http:// by default. You can specify the scheme https://www.joeware.net if you are concerned. Trying to force it with .htaccess like I have done with the blog is blowing up the downloads for […]

Chrome and the “Not secure” Message in the address bar

by @ Tuesday, August 14th, 2018. Filed under general

I have received some emails asking why this blog is considered insecure by Chrome. This is a new configuration from the latest version of Chrome to mark any website that isn’t using HTTPS: / SSL Encryption as insecure. Nothing has changed from my end, the site isn’t suddenly insecure. It is the same as it […]

Multi-Multi Forward/Backward Linked DN with Text (or Binary) Attribute Pair

by @ Sunday, July 8th, 2018. Filed under tech

I spent some time this weekend relearning something I learned 15 or so years ago… How to make 2.5.5.14 (DN with String) attribute schema changes that actually work. It’s simple but there is also a trick to it that you need to be aware of. Let’s go back a bit… I was recently asked about […]

I Was NOT Awarded the Microsoft MVP Award for the July 2018 Cycle

by @ Saturday, July 7th, 2018. Filed under general

Unfortunately after nearly 17 years (first awarded October 2001) of being re-awarded the MVP Award year over year for an ever name changing space around Windows Server Directory Services I was not awarded this year. While the book, blog, and tools are as popular as ever and the questions continue to roll into my inbox […]

Everything from AdFind/AdMod is encrypted in network traces…

by @ Saturday, July 7th, 2018. Filed under tech

I posted about this about a decade ago but going through email this morning I found at least 8 or 9 questions from people in some way shape or form related to it so I figured I would re-post and maybe it will show up search engines more or perhaps people will realize it still […]
