Maven Integration for Eclipse JDK Warning on Windows

If you start eclipse (or springsource tool suite) and get the following popup:



you need to point eclipse to a JDK. You can't do this within the IDE itself so just close it. Then go to the directory where you have eclipse installed. Edit eclipse.ini in an editor that understands unix-style line endings (like notepad++ or wordpad). If you're running STS, the file will be called STS.ini instead of eclipse.ini.

Look for the -vmargs line and insert a new line BEFORE it that specifies the location to your JDK's javaw executable. Like so:

Establishing a SSL connection to RabbitMQ using the .NET client

Image
First, I'm making the assumption that you've read, re-read, and followed the SSL tutorial on rabbitmq's website .  If you haven't done everything that it's instructed you to do (including adding your certificates to the Windows Certificate Store using certmgr), none of this code is going to work for you.  If you have, this code should "Just Work™". Here's the complete code file that works for me.  You will (obviously) need to change the names of the servers, and the thumbprint of your certificate. Note that this code only uses your client and server's certificates to establish a secure connection.  You are still logging in as guest.  I will show you how to use your client certificate to authenticate yourself below. using System; using System.Linq; using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates; using System.Text; using RabbitMQ.Client; using RabbitMQ.Util; namespace RabbitSslTest {     class Program     {   ...

Join CentOS to a Windows Domain

3/26/2012 update: I've now done this on CentOS 6.2 as well. Since I've had to do this a number of times in the last few months, I thought I should post this here so I can't forget it. Here's some specifics on what I'm using: Windows Server 2008 R2 As dc1.devexample.com (192.168.0.201) As Primary Domain Controller of devexample.com As Windows Server 2008 R2 forest functional level CentOS 5 / CentOS 6 As app01.devexample.com (192.168.0.203) Samba 3.5.6 / Samba 3.6.3 An internet connection. If you are not going to have an internet connection, you'll want to pre-download the files you'll need. I suggest using 'yum downloadonly' to get them. I've spun up a brand new CentOS 5.5 VM and logged in. Oh man, does anyone else just love logging into a fresh install? Is my nerd showing? Sorry! The first thing I need to do is take on great responsibility, so for that I'm going to need great power: let's add my account to the su...

Invalid provider type specified when accessing X509Certificate2.PrivateKey

Today, I was attempting to digitally sign a byte array with my private key so that I could produce an event on the event bus and a consumer could ensure that the message came from me and was not modified while in transit. public byte[] SignData(byte[] data) {   X509Store certStore = new X509Store(StoreName.My, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);   certStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);   // the DN I get is CN=name,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com   // but the DN on the cert has spaces after each comma   string spacedDN = UserPrincipal.Current.DistinguishedName.Replace(",", ", ");   X509Certificate2 cert = certStore.Certificates     .Find(       X509FindType.FindBySubjectDistinguishedName,       spacedDN,       true)     .OfType<X509Certificate2>()     .FirstOrDefault();   if (null == cert) { ...
