Certs arent voodoo magic and too few people understand certs. There is always a “certs” guy that is designated for every org and everyone else throws up there hands at it.

It’s amazing to me how entire groups of web devs don’t understand certs.

Have you gotten your monthly request from some random dev for a wildcard cert covering *.*.*.*.companyname.* yet? Just had to explain that you can't actually do that yet again recently.

What part of certs is hard? I had to generate one for setting up LDAPS in Azure and it was pretty straight forward?

People's brains all work in different ways, what is easy for you and I might not be for others. I've found that a vast majority of technical people don't really understand certs and PKI, and I've done many classes/seminars on the subject to try and help them learn.

I find most people are familiar with what certs are, but not specifically with what they do or how they do that.

My current project has a whole team of people that don't know how certs work. They keep bothering one guy that does, but he doesn't have the access to fix anything. Finally he just copied and pasted the cert in plain text in an email with the subject "USE THIS CERT"

I'm going to pass it to openssl and see if it's just a bunch of obscenities.

There is something specific to certs that a group of smart people can't understand. I find SAML also to be one of those as well.

I once had an app owner fight against OKTA because he thought it was going to reset all the unique security assignments his team had spent months setting up in their app. He thought he was going to have to do it all over again in OKTAs platform. It took a solid hour to explain to him that no, okta was not doing that.

If I had 3 wishes, I am not sure I could resist the urge to burn two of them right away with:

1> I wish everyone knew that you can "Mute All" as the host on a WebEx, and even set "Mute on Entry".
2> I wish everyone knew that there was an option to "Turn off Entry/Exit tones."

Oh, thank God, I thought I was the only one who gets driven up a loving wall by this.

Also, it's me, I'm the one who doesn't understand certs. I've issued a couple, and we have a certs guy who I've asked to explain it to me a few times, but I just don't get it. I probably just need it explained differently.

I tried out "It's me, ya boi!" but that just didn't feel right.
I do like looking back at old conference invites from a particular vendor and dialing into that bridge # because apparently their system has a habit of reusing passcodes.
Verizon likes to keep a single webex open all day and just start new meetings when everyone from the last meeting left. Those are always fun because I get to see what our neighbors are working on.

A position opened up with the County I want to work for so I decided to apply, because why not?
Unfortunately it's a SIGNIFICANT pay decrease (like 2/3 my current salary) and I think I might be overqualified (it's tier I helpdesk basically) but I figure at the very least I'll get to shake some hands, practice my interviewing skills, and take a polygraph :unsmith:

That's a loving joke. Any fine not cracking multiple billions for that breach is just letting financial institutions know that they can get away with murder, still.
