anthonypants posted:Ah, but this is my boss. We had something bad happen with certs once. Our internal CA had a SHA-1 root cert, so an Engineer that is no longer with the company decided to create a second internal CA and just import all the certs from the original barring the root, then pushed out updated certs to the entire infrastructure. The good news: certs being pushed out were now SHA-256. The bad news: the environment stopped working in nearly every capacity. Man, now that I think about it my company hires some really terrible talent. Wrath of the Bitch King fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Mar 15, 2017 |

anthonypants posted:"Hey, our wildcard cert is expiring at the end of April so I want you to order a new one. Get familiar with the process." We had a cert get revoked on one of customer facing servers yesterday, no idea why. Maybe we are supposed to get a email, I don't know. The person who used to handle all the cert business left, his email was sent to his boss, a new guy was hired, he isn't here and now the emails from Symantec go..somewhere. I go to login to Symantec's site with the password I have on file, it doens't work, password reset goes to the wrong account, so I'll never see that. Person who is responsible for it doesn't want to give me the password, or sign in, so I have no idea. We started using Digicert for reasons, so I sign in there, get the ok to just get a new cert, see I need a CSR text block. Go on one of our linux servers, run OpenSSL to generate one, paste that into their site. Ok, now I've got a .PEM file, but I need a key and nothing on their site let me generate one. Frantically google how to make these, find out I need the file from Digicert, and the key from the CSR, run them through openssl and the p12 file shows up. Shove that in the site and yay it works. Thanks knowledge hoardering bosses for keeping all this poo poo to yourselves, or changing passwords. Fuckers.

It may not be intentional, they're probably just as lost as you are because SSL certs are documented about as clear as mud. Not sure anyone out there has the faintest clue how to properly manage them, we're all just kind of banging around in the dark.

Probably not the thread for it, but since we're talking about sql clusters anyway - do you have a favorite resource for a run down on setting up NDB clusters? Beyond the official documentation obviously. I'm trying to teach myself how it works and think I'll probably just have to go through the process of building one on AWS or something.

We get anywhere between 150 and 300 emails to that one mailbox every day.

Jerk McJerkface posted:I run into this with my developers. I'm system administrator, and sometimes the devs will be like "man, you sys admins are like magicians, how do you figure out what's going on with linux, it's so ridiculous?" This is simply differences in domain knowledge. I'm a developer and I know very little about networking, so the things the network engineers do seem like wizardry to me. We have the same type of brain and fundamental skill set (critical thinking, research, problem-solving), we just chose different specializations. I know I COULD learn about subnets and bash scripting and powershell and poo poo if I took the time, and I'm fairly certain most network engineers worth the name could learn programming. We just both have more than enough information from our own specializations to keep us busy for a lifetime. My point is don't downplay your own skill set. I certainly don't think I'm smarter than a network engineer and I'm quick to speak up if I hear another dev looking down upon a network engineer simply because they're a network engineer.

You can probably filter this list down to just the ones with IIS or less likely exchange, they probably used a GUI to make the CSR. This has come up at work for me too. All of the big registrars have no problem rekeying a cert if it is a lost cause.

22 Eargesplitten posted:Not pissing me off: before last Tuesday, I wasn't even sure what a pivot table was. Today we had a meeting looking at a prototype report I made, and my boss complimented me on it several times. It's weird having managers that express genuine appreciation. There were a few things I missed, but I know how to fix those now. I grew to hate pivot tables. They're great for slicing up data quickly, but once I've worked out how I want to look at the data I'd rather replace them with flat tables using sums and lookups (not least because I hate the way pivot table formatting behaves).

Oh boy, I love being told I have 3 less hours to setup a site in another country and that its urgently needed to be done the next day, but because the network is so lovely over there they don't want me using it until they've all gone home for the day. Looks like its another late one, at least I can mention this in my review next week. "Will stay late because he's a dumb buttmonkey".

Yet again, Dynamics NAV. In no particular order: * When creating a job, I order against the job using the Job Planning Purchases window. In this window, I enter a Unit Cost, then create the requisition, and from THAT worksheet, the purchase order. The Unit Cost from Job Planning does not translate to the Requisition Worksheet (it pulls last received cost), and 70% of the time, the corrected Unit Cost from the Requisition Worksheet does not translate to the actual Purchase Order. I have to put the unit cost in 3 times for one PO. * There is no functionality to search Purchase Orders by the reference PO number (e.g. SVC/FOOBAR) only the 6-digit NAV-assigned document number. Instead, I have to find the vendor the PO is for and click through each order to that vendor to find the particular PO I'm looking for. This is really fun when I have 20 or 30 orders from one vendor throughout our branch and I'm hunting for the needle in the haystack. * There is no allowance for multiple phone numbers for one contact. Extension? Sure. But a separate phone number? Preposterous! And the Sales Lead created from a contact only shows a single phone number. And only the first line of the address, not the second. * There is no check built into the system for duplicate contacts like there is in QuickBooks; in QB, if I try to create a customer that's already in the list, (case-insensitive) it won't let me do it. In NAV, I could have 3 or 4 of the exact same contact if I don't check before putting it in. Same EVERYTHING except maybe salesperson code. Okay, which the gently caress one am I using? Hundreds of thousands of dollars the company spent to implement this piece of poo poo with custom plugins that cost thousands in themselves. And they won't shell out $3k per for a few additional licenses so everyone in the company could work at once if necessary.  At least once a day the program boots me for inactivity, then I can't get back in for an hour because we don't have enough licenses.

One day some renewals came up from our various domain registrars and one of them is linked to a bosses bumfuck gmail account, I figured gently caress this I'm rounding them all up into one company account. I got immediate backlash from finance manager that boss needs complete access to it if he needs to buy a domain (Like what in the middle of the night?) and to return it immediately, so I changed it back over and stated I'm absolving myself of supporting this since its impossible with no access.

Haven't Adobe always basically said you're on your own if you work from files stored on a network share? Like if you can't reproduce the issue you are having on a file stored locally then they aren't interested?

The issue is that apps will totally freeze randomly without any real reason. We have 6 designers with a dedicated NAS and every adobe application at this point is causing headaches randomly. NAS performace seems to be outstanding and lantency is not the issue and at this point I have been monitoring it very closely. Just running tests on high end machines the performance gains from simply working locally is so much better than it doesn't make logical sense outside of software bugs. I would prefer not to sync collaborations through sync'd directories on local computers. I would almost expect something to go wrong with video editing or some other large capacity media creation, but photo editing?

One I'm sure we can all relate to, cancelling meetings 15min before their scheduled time. On the face of it, it doesn't seem to matter because hey, I get time back that I didn't have before. It's far more disruptive than that though. Planning around the meeting was a concession of time to begin with. It already resulted in a less efficient day. Getting that hour back doesn't mean I get an hour's more worth of work done because I might not have a task that fits neatly into the meeting hole ready to go. Compounding that is if the meeting has to be rescheduled, then you still lose that hour later.

I'm going to start declining meeting requests that are just booking out time to chat about stuff, or wanting an hour out of my day and come without any sort of agenda attached. It's like people are clueless how to proceed on something without having a meeting first - what happened to just talking to people?

So in NAV, I can assign any number of ZIP codes to a city so that when I type the city into a relevant field, it offers a list of ZIP codes, OR so that if I type in a ZIP code it puts in the city. But there's no allowance in the screen to assign ZIP codes to give them a state. Only a country. Still have to type in the state manually.
