LDAP System Administration
by Gerald CarterBe more productive and make your life easier. That's what LDAP System Administration is all about. System administrators often spend a great deal of time managing configuration information located on many different machines: usernames, passwords, printer configurations, email client configurations, and network filesystem configurations, to name a few. LDAPv3 provides tools for centralizing all of the configuration information and placing it under your control. Rather than maintaining several administrative databases (NIS, Active Directory, Samba, and NFS configuration files), you can make changes in only one place and have all your systems immediately "see" the updated information. Practically platform independent, this book uses the widely available, open source OpenLDAP 2 directory server as a premise for examples, showing you how to use it to help you manage your configuration information effectively and securely. OpenLDAP 2 ships with most Linux® distributions and Mac OS® X, and can be easily downloaded for most Unix-based systems. After introducing the workings of a directory service and the LDAP protocol, all aspects of building and installing OpenLDAP, plus key ancillary packages like SASL and OpenSSL, this book discusses:Configuration and access control Distributed directories; replication and referral Using OpenLDAP to replace NIS Using OpenLDAP to manage email configurations Using LDAP for abstraction with FTP and HTTP servers, Samba, and Radius Interoperating with different LDAP servers, including Active Directory Programming using Net::LDAP If you want to be a master of your domain, LDAP System Administration will help you get up and running quickly regardless of which LDAP version you use. After reading this book, even with no previous LDAP experience, you'll be able to integrate a directory server into essential network services such as mail, DNS, HTTP, and SMB/CIFS.
LDAP System Administration
by Gerald CarterWith the potential to consolidate existing network services into a single directory, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is exactly what overburdened system administrators have been waiting for. But LDAP can also be a headache for those trying to master the technology. LDAP System Administration takes a hands-on approach, providing system administrators with the tools they need to understand and implement LDAP. Author Jerry Carter talks about using directories for Unix system administration-specifically, the OpenLDAP directory-but the skills he teaches are also applicable to LDAP products from Microsoft, Sun, and Novell. His book tells readers how to get the directory running, how to get data into the directory, how to use a directory to replace local username and password lookups, and many other critical LDAP skills.
LDPC Code Designs, Constructions, and Unification
by Juane Li Shu Lin Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar William E. Ryan Daniel J. CostelloWritten by leading experts, this self-contained text provides systematic coverage of LDPC codes and their construction techniques, unifying both algebraic- and graph-based approaches into a single theoretical framework (the superposition construction). An algebraic method for constructing protograph LDPC codes is described, and entirely new codes and techniques are presented. These include a new class of LDPC codes with doubly quasi-cyclic structure, as well as algebraic methods for constructing spatially and globally coupled LDPC codes. Authoritative, yet written using accessible language, this text is essential reading for electrical engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working in communications and information theory.
Le basi di Linux: Una guida per principianti al sistema operativo di Linux
by Adidas WilsonLinux è l'unico sistema operativo per endpoint che sta crescendo a livello globale. Come ha detto una persona, "Linux è il Nikola Tesla dell'informatica". Questo sistema operativo è utilizzato in una miriade di dispositivi, tra cui smartphone, videoregistratori digitali, televisori, sistemi di intrattenimento delle compagnie aeree, segnaletica digitale, sistemi di controllo delle automobili, switch, router, desktop e molti altri. Il dibattito sui sistemi operativi Microsoft Windows e Linux non finirà presto. Tuttavia, è evidente che Linux sta vincendo. Se avete difficoltà a crederlo, considerate l'influenza di Linux sui dispositivi Android e Apple basati su UNIX. L'unico motivo per cui Windows è ancora diffuso è la sua influenza su molte applicazioni principali. Questa situazione sta per cambiare e Linux è, senza dubbio, il futuro. Microsoft è stato il re dell'End User Computing (EUC) per circa 30 anni. Tuttavia, alcuni fattori, come i problemi di sicurezza, stanno spingendo l'EUC verso il data center. Per questo motivo, c'è il desiderio di ridurre i costi e i rischi legati al mantenimento di Windows sul bordo. Il sistema operativo Linux offre la soluzione perfetta. Linux è stratificato e leggero, il che gli consente di funzionare molto bene su molti tipi di dispositivi. Inoltre, offre velocità e reattività elevate. Poiché Linux presenta numerosi vantaggi intrinseci, è preferito per le applicazioni endpoint.
Le basi di Scrum
by Stefano Spelta Troy DimesCreare software che offre più valore Di idee se ne trovano a iosa. Un sacco di gente sembra pensare che la maggior parte del processo di sviluppo del software consista nella semplice creazione di un'applicazione, vagamente legata ad un concetto, che la gente potrebbe desiderare. Probabilmente avrete sentito moltissima gente dire cose come: "Ho questa idea per un'app che raggiungerà sicuramente un milione di download!" solo per trovare poi la loro applicazione dispersa in un oceano di applicazioni simili. La creazione di software eccellente ed il suo rilascio nei tempi corretti richiedono uno schema di implementazione abbastanza sistematico ma non eccessivamente rigido. Qualità e tempi devono convivere. Se si rilascia un software che è pieno di bachi o che ha una user experience mediocre non ci si potrà di certo attendere un'altra commessa da parte del cliente. Molti programmatori temono questo esito e, di conseguenza, impiegano troppo tempo per sviluppare i programmi. Voi avete una quantità limitata di tempo per sviluppare un software, soprattutto quando dovete rispettare una data di scadenza, autoimposta o meno. Dovrete fare in modo che il software creato sia almeno decente ma, ancora più importante, rilasciato in modo tempestivo. Come si fa a bilanciare la qualità con il tempo? Questo libro spazia tra questi importantissimi argomenti. Dopo aver letto Le basi di Scrum conoscerete i significati dei ruoli di Scrum, degli Sprint, degli artefatti di Scrum e di molto altro. Ecco cosa imparerete leggendo Le basi di Scrum: *Cos'è il metodo Waterfall e perché non dovreste usarlo per i vostri progetti software *Che cosa è Scrum, da dove viene, perché dovreste usarlo e come potete metterlo in pratica nella vostra organizzazione oggi *Quale è la differenza tra Scrum e Agile Software Development? *I vari ruoli di Scrum, tra cui il Product Owner, lo Scrum Master ed i memb

Le dropshipping en toute simplicité: Le guide ultime pour gagner de l'argent avec Shopify et le e-commerce
by Adidas WilsonLe Dropshipping est une méthode de vente au détail où les boutiques ne stockent pas réellement leurs produits. Lorsqu’un client achète un produit, le vendeur l'achète à une autre partie et l'expédie directement au client. Le commerçant ne manipule ni ne voit le produit. Le dropshipping diffère du modèle de vente au détail conventionnel en ce sens que, dans ce cas, le vendeur ne possède pas de stock. Il ou elle achète une commande à un tiers. Comme tout le reste, le modèle du dropshipping présente des inconvénients et des avantages. Vous avez besoin de moins de capital : c'est sans doute le plus grand avantage. Vous n'avez pas besoin de milliers de dollars pour lancer une boutique de e-commerce. Les détaillants conventionnels doivent disposer d'un capital énorme pour constituer leur stock. Dans le cas du dropshipping, vous n'achetez un produit que lorsqu'un client a passé une commande et effectué le paiement. Un investissement initial dans le stock n'est pas nécessaire. Facile à démarrer : une entreprise de e-commerce est beaucoup plus facile à gérer lorsque vous ne manipulez pas de produits physiques. Vous n'aurez pas à vous soucier d'un entrepôt, de l'emballage et de l'expédition, du suivi des stocks, de la gestion des retours, etc. Faibles frais généraux : puisque vous n'aurez pas à vous occuper d'un entrepôt ou à acheter des stocks, attendez-vous à de faibles frais généraux. Beaucoup de personnes gèrent une entreprise de dropshipping depuis leur bureau à domicile avec leur ordinateur portable et ne dépensent qu'environ 100 $ par mois. Les dépenses peuvent augmenter au fur et à mesure que votre entreprise se développe, mais elles resteront faibles. Emplacement flexible : si vous avez une connexion Internet, vous pouvez gérer votre entreprise de dropshipping de n'importe où.
