Which is the best authentication method?

Okay; I'm asking this question a little late as I've already done my implementation and made my choices.
Still; It seemed to me the most secure form of authentication for my small ~100 user wireless network was EAP-TLS. My requirements needed me to simply authenticate the machine to the network so a simple certificate based authentication using the same for the encryption seemed the best route. Also the others seemed to have less actual security in them from what I read.
What other options are there that might be simple and rely on a user/pass combination rather than the certificate and are they truely better?
My boss really liked the certificate method as it gave us what he felt was hard controls.
Of course the cert management is a bit of a pain...

Eap-TlS is also good

How to migrate users, which have been using the Windows Authentication method

Hi everybody,
I have to migrate a productive SQL Server 2008 Database from one to another different server. The problem is that a lot of users have been using this DB throught the Windows Authentication method. Because the migration should be faster as possible, I would
like to use a SQL script in order to streamline the process. Does anyone know if it is possible to do it?
Thank you in advance,
Regards

Apart from transfer logins scripts Ashwin and Stan mentioned, I usually run following script in order to re-establish orphan users to establish if any SQL logins.
set nocount on
declare @username    sysname,
        @errcode     int
select @errcode = 0
select @username = min(name)
from sysusers (nolock)
where uid <> gid and
      name not in ('guest', 'sys', 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA') and
      suser_sname(sid) is null and
      issqlrole = 0
while @username is not null
begin
   if exists (select 1
              from master.dbo.syslogins (nolock)
              where name = @username)
   begin
      exec sp_change_users_login @Action = 'Update_One',
                                 @UserNamePattern = @username,
                                 @LoginName = @username
      select @errcode = @@error
      if @errcode = 0
         print 'The user ''' + @username + ''' was re-established in database!'
      else
         print 'Failed to re-establish user ''' + @username + ''' in database!'
   end
   else
   begin
      print 'The user ''' + @username + ''' does not have login ID. So, drop it from database!'
      exec sp_dropuser @username
   end
   select @username = min(name)

Which is the best antivirus and spyware for Mac?

Good morning,
Because of schoolwork and extracurricular activities, I am constantly sending and receiving e-mails and messages to and from PCs and other Apple devices, like IPads. Two years ago I purchased a 120,12GB MacBook Air and, until a few months ago, it went perfectly well.
I am not sure what happened, but lately, every time I go online, whatever I click -whether it is a random letter in a website, or a blank space in a page, anything- an advert appears or a new -unwanted- tab opens with publicity and such, the kind of additional tabs that open when you are watching movies online in a random website, but this time, it is happening with every website (even the Apple site) and almost constantly. I suspect it is something I downloaded or maybe something I received from an infected PC that I got a virus or problem from.
I tried using the MacKeeper software, but it is not working for me (?). Also I tried blocking pop-ups (I use Google Chrome), Java Script, automatic downloads, complements and everything I could when going online, but it has not gotten better over the last 9 months. My parents also recommended me a very good technician, who I personally know and has solved many of my previous problems, but he could not help me, in this situation.
For that reason, I have been considering either purchasing a good antivirus for my Mac or a new Mac and an antivirus for it, to prevent future problems like this one.
Either way, the question is the same,
Which is the best antivirus and spyware software for Mac?
Thank you so much for your attention.

Please get rid of MacKeeper, as it and most other such junk software will do more harm than good.

What's the best authentication model for a PRO*C process?

We presently have a system where 5 or so PRO*C-based processes on remote nodes (HP OpenVMS) connect to a database (RH Linux) using Oracle Client and insert data. The current authentication method is for the C based program to read a connection string from a file and use that string to connect via an embedded sqlplus call.
This works fine, however having the string contained in a file isn't all that great an idea, even with the protection we give it. It would be easy for a programmer to recompile & debug the process and read the string, so it's not really all that secure. It also just doesn't seem the best way to do this....
I know this isn't much information to go on, but can anyone suggest a better model for this scenario that avoids putting connection strings and passwords in a file?
Thanks in advance

thanks for your helpfull evaluation.

Which is the best way of deploying JSP (mod_ose or OSE) ?

I need to deploy some jsps that are using servlet api 2.2 and i would like to know which is the best way of deploying these jsps?
Thanks
RJC

Speaking of JServ Vs OSE, I have some related questions on it. I would appreciate if someone can answer:
1.For a stateful servlet (assuming that we are using Oracle JVM), Will it not call the init() method of the servlet each time for a client (because each client will have his own Oracle JVM)? If so, isn't that expensive because it needs to initialize the servlet again?
Again, for the same servlet, Will it not have a servlet context for each and every client? Isn't that expensive? ( A servlet context by definition maintains state information for all instances of a web application within any single JVM)
2. If we have an application that has some portion of it which is stateless and some portion of it which is stateful, how do we make a choice JDK JVM vs Oracle JVM?
Can we (for the same application) use both the JDK JVM as well as Oracle JVM? If so, how does the JDK JVM talk with Oracle JVM?
3. Since Oracle JVM is useful for stateful applications only, does it mean that we cannot use it for Stateless session beans? (In an application we might have stateless session beans, stateful session beans as well as entity beans) Should we be using JDK JVM or Oracle JVM?
4. For Servlets too, we might have stateless servlets and stateful servlets within the same application. If so, can we use JDK JVM for stateless servlets and Oracle JVM for stateful servlets? If so, how does the JDK JVM talk with Oracle JVM?

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.

Repartition and format the drive for a Mac:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Which is the best software to convert dvd to IPad 2d

Which is the best software to convert dvd to IPad 2d

unfortunately discussing the breaking of the encryption that comes with commercial dvd's is prohibited in these forums. however a quick google search will get you to quite a few software providers....
on a personal note, i don't agree with the fact that we can't "legally" transfer dvd's because breaking the encryption is considered illegal, even though the "fair use act" has said that copying dvd's for personal use or for backup purposed is considered legal. it's just the software to do that isn't. i'm not one who would rip a dvd then make multiple copies to make a financial gain. i just want to be able to convert my "old" media into a format that meets my current needs.
good luck my friend on your search. i really wish i could help you more

Avast, clamXAV and MacScan - which is the best of these OSX AV scanners?

Avast, clamXAV and MacScan - which is the best of these OSX anti-virus scanners?
Does anyone have experience of all three?

Ermmm. I think you'll not find anyone here that's got experience of one, let alone all three.
My thoughts on anti-virus for the Mac, is that it can be more hassle than it is worth, given the nature of OSX. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I think the OS is invulnerable, but other than the one lone mock video codec trojan that was out a few years ago, there really isn't much of a need for anti-virus.
Yet.
The best web security right now for general browsing is Firefox with NoScript and AdBlock Plus and have it set to delete the cache and cookies after each session.
Beyond that, the commonest things vexing Mac OS right now, are 'social engineered' trojans or virii, that the user installs themselves.
If you stick to legitimate download sites, (c-net, versiontracker) you will be fine.

i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.

I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below
