Whats happening?
December 23rd, 2005 at 03:04pm
Its quite some time since I wrote something over here. It has been a very hectic and happening week so far. At office, we had the synergy finale last Sunday, the details of which I had posted up over here. On Monday, we had christmas celebrations in the office. Was fun! :). And then on Tuesday, there was a performance by the in-house musical band of mInfosys called Yantra. I could not stay for the entire show, which went for over 2.5 hours., but I did listen a couple of songs. Its was really a great performance. Even though I could not be *at* the show, I could hear the music/songs at my work place.
My wife is doing fine and is now settled down in Houston. The Canon Powershot A610 rocks. The quality of image is real good. We are now waiting for the rechargeable batteries and charger which I bought over eBay. Digi-cams are power hungry devices. They need batters with more power. So, Its always better to get batteries with higher mAh rating. mAh of a battery is similar to Stamina. The higher, the better. I have managed to get hold of 8 AA sized 2500 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries and a 1 hour fast charger for around $29 (including shipping) over eBay. Don’t know if is a nice deal. But it sounded reasonable.
On the work front, lots of work. We are working on providing a single sign on feature (provided by siteminder/identiyminder) for windows sharepoint portal. And this kind of requires us to write a ISAPI filter for IIS. We are currently working on writing this ISAPI filter (which does custom authentication). If you are familiar with ISAPI programming, get back to me!

Hi,
Dont buy much from e-bay.Some scams are happening on it.Instead amazon is the best place to buy anything ,They have the best price available,plus free shipping ( take 1 week) and no tax (in CA,they charge tax in other tax).
I am teporarily in US and purchases may electronics stuffs like digi-cam(Canon S1 IS),battery charger (universal voltage 110-240 so i can use in INDIA, AA & AAA plus 4 2100mAh AA battery and the brand is SONY ..wht else u want in 16 USD),Toshiba laptop and many small stuffs(flash,sd ,cf cards,mp3 players)…
I have compared amazon with best buy ,circuit city and amazon beats everyone except Fry Electronics store.Fry has some great deal on some product for some perior(1-2 days)…
that deals beats every one.
Here is one story of ebay scam u can find many more…

There is a SiteMinder solution module that enables SSO into the Sharepoint Portal. The User Context Gateway will construct the Windows Security Context and pass it to the WebAgent/UCG.

@Havoc : Thanks for the inputs Havoc. But we did not have access to the UCG add-on. :(
Anyway, not the problem is sloved by using some custom response headers in Siteminder reponse.
