Base64-encoding data is found in places all over the IT world and in home users' systems as well. Being able to encode data in Java or ECMAScript/JavaScript can be valuable when those are the languages available to you. This sample shows how to convert from one format to another and eventually encode data for use within a directory like eDirectory.

Have you ever been coding Java and suddenly wanted to do something using loosely-typed variables or worked out an issue with a little less Java-ness? Have you ever wanted to take advantage of the familiarity people have with some languages (ECMAScript/JavaScript) while still using something that is not a web browser as an environment? Have you ever wanted to debug your JavaScript without refreshing a web page and your cache that just won't seem to ever refresh properly for you? This and more will be covered today with practical examples in both the Novell Identity Manager (IDM) and Novell Sentinel applications plus any other Java-based applications that you may have around your own environment.

GWAVA is planning data security and management support for Novell's recently announced Pulse product. “There is a strong need for security in the new real-time collaboration space,” stated Charles Taite, CTO for GWAVA. "GWAVA intends to continue our support of this market.”

Let's face the fact, assigning iPrint printers in iManager, especially if the users are in a different container than the iPrint Printer, can become very tedious and time consuming. First you have to wait for the browse window to choose a printer, then wait for the browse window to browse for the users or groups, and finally select all of your users. Well what if you had 5 executives that needed to have access to every Xerox Printer in the organization and these printers existed in multiple containers? Let's say there were 35 of these printers. This could take hours. I'll demonstrate how to do it in less than 5 minutes.

Hot Linux TIps

Do you ever find yourself running a command, pressing the up-arrow, then [Enter], then the up-arrow, then [Enter], then the up-arrow.... this is a great exercise that will get your fingers used to typing random odd key sequences without your eyes paying attention, but otherwise it's a complete waste of time. A command I have come to love helps me point my OCD tendencies to other pointless tasks while running commands over and over for me. Introducing 'watch', because Linux Just Does That.
