How do you manage people losing the key? I'd love to give the staff the easiest security method possible, especially CEO types who get angry about typing in a password, idle time screen locks, etc. But I would worry about one of them losing the key and then going insane if they can't access company resources NOW NOW NOW.

You handle keys like you handle badges.

A couple banks did something similar with smart card ID, where their desktop session (windows this time not Solaris), identity card for signing transactions and badge for getting around the office was one and the same. No leaving your desktop unlocked to go to the bathroom since you needed to bring the card with you

I'm sure I could muddle through it all but frankly I don't want to deploy that sort of infrastructure unless I absolutely have to. So I'm happy to just wait until Microsoft realise they have a huge usability problem and get round to fixing it.

Meanwhile someone from the identity team asked if they could turn off our ADFS (which backs our Hello pilot) because it's too much work and too complicated for them.

C'mon now, managing relying party trusts along with SAML and ODIC is much fun! It's even better when no one can login to anything!

It's especially funny because my team "owned" it along with AD, and then identity took it away and acted all superior about how we couldn't possibly have been doing a good job and they need to redo everything and time and time again they fail or have to scale back or walk straight into organizational traps we warn them about. We had no problem with it, on top of all our other duties, but it's overwhelming to them.

Identity is really freaking complicated and given that we're all using SaaS Apps with crazy functionality for whatever businesses purposes it's even more insanely insane. It isn't 2002 where we just had everything On-Premises using Active Directory with Kerberos. That said, I don't really see the need for On-Premise STS when you have stuff like Azure AD, Okta, etc. Personally, I think it'll eventually go the way with Exchange. Managing it yourself is a huge pain, a ton of work and a ton of risk.

Me and a colleque (we are both fairly new in the company, both started near the end of last year) got talking about previous jobs and my colleque mentioned their former boss as one of the reasons they left that place. The boss wanted them to publish a blog post in the company website using their real name and the headline was to be "If you aren't buying training from (company X) then you are workplace Taleban". My colleque refused and this caused the boss to pitch a fit and sulk. It seems here in Finland we have our share of crazy bosses.

It might be controversial but ADFS IS cumbersome, use PHS with write back instead using AAD as the main idp source and you have 99% of the features with just minimal feature loss(but a tenth of the opex overhead)

My issue with teams is that UI need some serious re-work and holy crap sometimes it is so slow. Literally, it's supposed to only display text and a mIRC Client does the job better.

This is a really interesting misspelling and I'm curious how you came to it. (Absolutely no disrespect meant, I don't speak/write any second language nearly as well as you're doing in English). It's "colleague", and I could see leaving out the "a", but I'm wondering if something about Finnish or Finn-accented English means the "g" sound isn't said quite as a native English speaker would, so maybe you're hearing more of a "k" and translating as "q"? I always find this kind of thing fascinating since it shows some of the thought process that has to go into writing words in English, the stupidest of all languages where there are rules but they usually never apply until they do and also nothing sounds like it's spelled. (But sometimes it does. Helpful!). That thought process never happens for many native speakers since they just know what it's supposed to be (and never question why, or why it's so stupid). Anyway, just curious what your thought process was for this, and I suppose since text doesn't convey mood, I should reiterate I'm honestly asking and not trying to be a dick.

Enable TAP along with fido2, deliver one code to the user in person or over a validated videocall, the user logs in and enroll the token. First token is on the house, second and up are on the employee.

No worries, in Finnish it's written "kollega" so it's most likely me just making mental shortcut. And English seems such an illogical language, I think I learned most of my vocabulary by reading lots of fantasy novels and Sherlock Holmes.

No good things ever happen when PE buys up a tech company. Hope they don't gently caress things up too bad. Get ready for your Citrix licenses to go up 25 to 40% at least though.

Sometimes PE leaves it alone, I'm assuming you're a cash cow, and as long as yall keep generating cash they'll leave you alone. Sometimes PE ruins everything. I'm still bitter about what happened to Quest Software, which just got sold from one PE to another PE firm.

We’ve hit the 5 year horizon for ipo/sale but there are no indications of that. Can’t hurt that we had our best year ever, SG&A expense is going down due to IT efficiencies, we did an acquisition a year ago, etc.

We have two hold-outs in Citrix 6.5 on 2k8r2 and I want them gone asafp but y’know, business critical bullshit. 1. Our old Great Plains install, used for archive access after we moved to workday for finance. 2. A lovely homegrown access db that holds about $15mil worth of vendor contracts We just might get them on to something else by the time we want out of that data center!

I would count myself as one of the many many healthcare practitioners who got burnt out during the pandemic. In putting together my resume, it's kind of dawned on me that recruiters may be asking why I decided to abandon my healthcare career when it was on the up and up. Long story short, I got tired of being forced to deal with idiots who can't wear a mask properly or get vaccinated day after day after day, but I can't exactly put that. If I get asked about it during the interview process, what's the best way to approach this topic?
