Situation: Calculate optimum MTU for TCP/IP traffic in a VPN. It took me quite awhile to track all this down.
Resolution: The best solution is to have the router adjust the TCP for the Maximum Send Size. Continue reading ‘Calculating TCP/IP MTU for VPN traffic’
I know this is covered all over the internet already, but I keep forgetting myself…
Situation: Want to add a Favicon to website (that little icon next to the URL in the address bar of Browsers like FireFox, and in bookmarks of sites in IE6). Continue reading ‘Setup Favicon on Website’
Situation: In this case we went with a SSL Certificate from GoDaddy.com because of price, and the hot chick in their advertisements. The problem arose from the fact that the CSR (Certificate Signing Request) wasn’t generated from the Cisco VPN Concentrator itself. However, in retrospect, this was probably the only way to do it properly because there doesn’t seem to be a way to export the private key from the Cisco. This would have posed a problem in our case because we purchased a Wildcard SSL Certificate (*.domain.tld) that can be installed on unlimited servers in our domain, and secure any host server within our domain.

Situation: Setup Apache on Linux to authenticate to an Active Directory Domain based upon some unique identifier of the site (the server hosts multiple sites). At the time we did this in 2003 we couldn’t figure out any other easy way to do it. mod_auth_radius was at version 1.5.2. There may be a better/alternate way to do this now; but I haven’t looking into it. Continue reading ‘Apache mod_radius_auth to Active Directory’
There’s a new section of the site, I’ve affectionately called Technical Tidbits. It is a space, where I can ‘give back’ to the Internet. A spot to write-up all those things (problems, jobs, and projects) that I either have to come up with a solution to myself, or have an exceptionally hard time finding answers to online. This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite awhile now, but have finally gotten around to doing.
I start off the series with something I don’t think exists anywhere else online:
How to set and use Custom resolutions in Warcraft III on a Mac.
All the posts will be tagged with the ‘technical tidbits’ category, and can be browsed via the ‘Technical Tidbits’ page tab.
