Why I cannot use Live account on some Microsoft Services

By
De ceva vreme ma trezeam ca anumite servicii noi adaugate de catre Microsoft care se acceseaza cu ajutorul unui cont de Live nu functioneaza. Cand doream sa ma logam cu userul si parola nu reuseam.
Acest lucru se intampla atat pe telefon cat si de pe desktop. Unele persoane spuneau ca din cauza ca account-ul este unul vechi (de peste 10 ani) unele servicii nu functioneaza. Mi s-a parut ciudata cauza si nu eram convins de aceasta problema.
Astazi am avut nevoie sa reinstalez Windows 8 pe cateva masini si dupa ce m-am inregistrat cu account-ul meu m-am trezit ca nu mai ma pot loga. Aveam o masina virtuala blocata si o tableta cu Windows 8 blocata. Si asa am ajuns sa sap, sa vad care poate sa fie problema.
Cauza se pare ca este lungimea parolei. In cazul meu aveam o parola de peste 20 de caractere. Am fost nevoit sa schimb parola la una mai scurta de 16 caractere si totul a revenit la normal.
Un singur lucru pot sa spun din pacate .... rusinica.

    Sa vezi ce fain e sa nu iti poti activa smartphone-ul din cauza asta (WP7, prima pornire, parola Win Live mai lunga de 16)..

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

By
In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified
