I created an AD-LDS instance using the Administrative Tools Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Setup Wizard.
I can connect to the instance with ldp.exe on localhost:389.
However, I can only Bind to the server using the Simple Bind option. This sends the password in plaintext.
All other options return an error of "Invalid Credentials".
How can I make a connection to AD-LDS to validate user/password credentials without sending it in plaintext?
My company makes Ethernet devices. These devices have very little I/O. No keyboard, no video output. When the customer gets the device he must configure it for his network. I'd like to choose an IP address that won't conflict with an existing device on his network, but his network could be anything.
Some customers has 192.168.x.x networks. Others have 10.x.x.x networks.
Most network equipment (routers in particular) ship with 192.168.x.1. But this is not a router, so I don't want to default to a low IP address as this will have a higher probability of conflicting.
What is a good IP address to ship with a product? Are there semi-private/unused Class C networks?
I have a httpd.conf file that was accidentally changed to have the port number the server listens on changed to a number higher than 65535. When HTTPD reads this configuration file what does it do? Does it fall back to port 80?
My WinXP computer takes a good 10 minutes to get to a usable state. Most of the activity will stop if I leave it at the log in screen, so I think it is some system level (as opposed to user level) programs.
Is there a program that will tell me what drivers/programs are loading?
Bonus: Is there a program that will show the amount of time/resources each program is taking?
