Get a list of members of a WinNT group

There are a couple of questions similar to this on stack overflow but not quite the same.

I want to open, or create, a local group on a win xp computer and add members to it, domain, local and well known accounts. I also want to check whether a user is already a member so that I don't add the same account twice, and presumably get an exception.

So far I started using the DirectoryEntry object with the WinNT:// provider. This is going ok but I'm stuck on how to get a list of members of a group?

Anyone know how to do this? Or provide a better solution than using DirectoryEntry?

AWS - Configuring access to EC2 instance from Beanstalk App

So for reasons Id rather not go into, my DB is on an EC2 instance in eu-west-1 and I have created a beanstalk app on us-east-1. Id like my app to talk to that EC2 instance on a MySQL port (3306).

Can anyone assist with how Id set this up, what ingress rules I need to setup on the EC2 security group? Given that I will have multiple versions of the app in beanstalk, the IP address may change regularly (after environment rebuilds etc).

Any help greatly appreciated.

How to list all users in a Linux group?

Can I replace groups in Java regex?

I have this code, and I want to know, if I can replace only groups (not all pattern) in Java regex. Code:

 //...
 Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d).*(\\d)");
    String input = "6 example input 4";
    Matcher m = p.matcher(input);
    if (m.find()) {

        //Now I want replace group one ( (\\d) ) with number 
       //and group two (too (\\d) ) with 1, but I don't know how.

    }

How do I create my own custom group in mediawiki?

I have been reading carefully through the mediawiki documentation but I have not been able to find out how to create new groups.

When I look at Special:Userrights, I see only 3 groups : Bots, Sysops, Bureaycrats

I would like to create my own custom groups, so I can use some extensions like the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Group_Based_Access_Control.

Can someone tell me how it's done, or point me to some documentation?

OpenCL synchronization between work-groups

Is it possible to synchronize OpenCL work-groups?

For example, I have 100 work-groups every work-groups have only one item (don't ask me why, this is an example), and I need to put barrier to every work-item which ensure that all work-groups will be continue after every work-item in this 100 work-groups reaches this barrier point.

Difference between user groupId and scopeGroupId

Whats the difference between themeDisplay.getUser().getGroupId() and themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId()?

If I retrieve Layouts (pages) from it, would they have any different URL pattern like, /web-or-user/<user>/* or /web-or-user-or-group/<group>/*?

I mean am I right to say that every user has his own group or something?

As I understand it so far, it seems like User Foo has group UserFoo and group GroupFoo so you can retrieve pages personal to Foo or group of Foo ... Am I in the good way?

ASP.NET Membership - Which RoleProvider to use so User.IsInRole() checks ActiveDirectory Groups?

Very simple question actually:

I currently have IIS anonymous access disabled, users are automatically logged on using their Windows login. However calling User.IsInRole("Role name") returns false. I double-checked User.Identity.Name() and the "Role name" and it should return true.

I currently have this in my Web.Config:

UPDATE
I was calling User.IsInRole("Role name") where I should call User.IsInRole("DOMAIN\Role name")

However I still like to know if the <membership> entry is needed at all?

What should I change? (and is the <membership> entry needed at all?)

  <authentication mode="Windows">
      <forms
      name=".ADAuthCookie"
      timeout="10" />
  </authentication>


<membership defaultProvider="ADMembershipProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear/>
      <add
         name="ADMembershipProvider"
         type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
         connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"
         connectionUsername="XXX\specialAdUser"
         connectionPassword="xx"
         />
  </providers>
</membership>

<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="WindowsProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear />
      <add name="WindowsProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" />
  </providers>
</roleManager>

Getting all groups an user is a member of through oauth (google)

I'm building a web-application that lets users login with a google-apps account. I need some userinfo, nr of new e-mails, calendar access and all the groups (in my domain) the user is a member of. The trouble is that i can't find the right scope (and endpoint) to get the groups a user is member of. Does somebody knows if it is possible? And how it's done...

What I got so far: I've played with the Groups-provisioning scope (https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/groups/) the problem is that you have to be an administrator to view the data.. And I want all users to see there memberships... The google oauth playground isn't getting me further (https://code.google.com/oauthplayground/)

Thanks

Security script based on Global Group?

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'd like to limit my users to specific areas of an Intranet site based on their membership in specific Global Groups created in SQL Server.

For example, I've got the following menu in ASP:

    <div class="clear hideSkiplink" id="MainMenu">

        <asp:Menu ID="NavigationMenu" runat="server" CssClass="menu" 
            IncludeStyleBlock="False" Orientation="Horizontal" 
            BackColor="#CC3300">

            <Items> 
                <asp:MenuItem  NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" Text="Home" Selectable="true" />
                    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Forms/frmCensusList.aspx" Text="Census Editing"/>
                    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Forms/frmRoster.aspx" Text="Roster Editing"/>
                    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Forms/frmReportMenu.aspx" Text="Reporting"/>
                    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/About.aspx" Text="About"/>
                   <%-- <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/WebForm1.aspx" Text="Test"/>--%>
            </Items>

        </asp:Menu>
    </div> 

And then the following in the Code Behind that limits what "security level" can see the "About" page:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string path = Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
    foreach (MenuItem item in NavigationMenu.Items)
    {
        item.Selected = item.NavigateUrl.Equals(path, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
    }

    // If the user isn't an Admin, hide the About menu option
    string ActiveUser = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
    string SecurityLevel = ActiveUser.SecLevel();
    if (SecurityLevel != "ADMIN")
    {
        MenuItem mnuItem = NavigationMenu.FindItem("About"); // Find particular item
        if (mnuItem != null)
        {
            NavigationMenu.Items.Remove(mnuItem);
        }
    }

}

SecLevel() is a function I created that's based on a table of user's IDs, but maintaining the table is a pain, plus future projects are going to be a pain to compile the original table, and it will just be easier if I can do this based on existing Global Groups.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Tool to flatten SVG nested transformations

I wonder if there is any command-line tool available to flatten nested groups with transformations in an SVG?

In my particular case, I am converting a CAD-software produced PDF to SVG and then adding some elements and publishing the modified SVG to a web page for viewing. The response time of the SVG is very sluggish (for panning and zooming) and I found that it is due to a very large number of nested groups inside the SVG, often up to several 100 depth. For each element in the SVG, the browser needs to calculate the position across all its parent nodes...

Obviously this is ridiculous, as all these elements need is one single transformation (matrix). So I wonder if anyone knows of a tool to flatten this (or a C# or Delphi implementation that would do so...).

JQuery Selectable - cancel current selected element

I have a list containing different some elements. I want all to be selectable, but only in groups. Like:

<ul>
<li rel="group1">Item 1</li>
<li rel="group1">Item 2</li>
<li rel="group2">Item 3</li>
<li rel="group2">Item 4</li>
<li rel="group3">Item 5</li>
<li rel="group3">Item 6</li>
</ul>

I wrote something that could work, but I don't know how to cancel current selection if current's element rel attribute is different to first chosen.

    var selected = null;

    $( "#selectable" ).selectable({
        selecting: function(event, ui) {
            if (!selected)
                selected = $(ui.selecting).attr('rel');

            if (selected != $(ui.selecting).attr('rel')){
               // cancel this selection
            }
        }
    });

Thanks

How to Get User Group Names in Joomla 2.5

I'm writing a Joomla 2.5 component that I had been developing in Joomla 1.7. I have been using code like this: $user = JFactory::getUser(); $groups = $user->get('groups');

The $groups array would contain a list of ids with the group name as the index. Joomla 2.5 seems to have scrapped this functionality. I have been unable to find out how to get the group names without directly querying the database. Is there any method for getting a list of the groups a user is a member of without having to resort to querying the database?

box2d collision groups

does anyone know whether bodies only collide when (body1.categoryBits & body2.maskBits) && (body1.maskBits & body2.categoryBits) ? or do they already collide when (body1.categoryBits & body2.maskBits) || (body1.maskBits & body2.categoryBits) ?
