A couple of days ago I got an additional laptop to take it on meetings. As it will be used rarely and not as my main laptop – I decided to install Manjaro Linux there instead of usual Arch Linux – to take a look at the Manjaro itself and because don’t want to spend… Read More »
We have a web application which has to accept POST-requests from clients. In front of this application, there is some proxy service, no matter which – initially, we faced the issues on an AWS’s Application Load Balancer, then I reproduced them with NGINX, and it will “work” for any other proxying system. Besides proxying –… Read More »
We started receiving emails from AWS with notifications to update RDS Certificate Authority certificates. It’s time to do it, so let’s start from our Dev, then will repeat on Staging and Production environments. W eare using common AWS RDS MariaDB instances, and the upgrade documentation is available here>>>. The process itself is really simple and… Read More »
had to create a short demonstration video for Okta’s support, googled a tiny, quick and simple application – Kazam. On Arch Linux can be install from AUR: [simterm] $ yaourt -S kazam [/simterm] Run it: [simterm] $ kazam [/simterm] I set the Automatic save by default (to the ~/Videos): Now, chose an area to record… Read More »

Now we faced with outgoing traffic issues in our Production environments and can’t find who guilty for… Read More »

So in this post will try to figure out what is SAML in general, will take a short overview of its architecture and main components, and will make some SAML-requests tracing/sniffing to… Read More »
We are using AWS VPC DNS and sometimes facing with errors like “php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution“. The only advice from AWS tech. support was to configure a local dnsmasq service to act as a local DNS cache, but I did this already year ago and this issue happens once in 1-2-3… Read More »
Didn’t install upgrades for a couple of weeks, today packages to be upgraded became over 100, so I run it. Upgrades on my Arch Linux are installed with a simple alias in the.bashrc: … alias osupgrade=”yaourt -Syua –noconfirm” … (seems eventually it’s time to change it to the alias osupgrade=”yay -Syua –noconfirm”) The error Usually,… Read More »
And going forward with Okta setup for our project. Previous posts: Okta: SSO authentication for Gmail and Slack Jenkins: SAML Authentication with Okta SSO and users groups Jenkins: SAML, Okta, users groups, and Role-Based Security plugin Github: SAML, Okta, and Github Enterprise Cloud – Organization SSO configuration The next task is to integrate our Google… Read More »
As a follow-up to the SSO, Okta, and SAML. We already did everything for our Jenkins (see the Jenkins: SAML, Okta, user groups, and Role-Based Security plugin post) – now it’s time to do the same thing with our Github organization. The idea is the same as for the Jenkins’ setup: keep all users in… Read More »
