How to Deploy ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Administration Tool (WAT) on Production Servers

Create a virtual directory ASP.NETWebAdminFiles in IIS that point to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles Open properties windows of the new virtual directory, make sure that it is configured to run with ASP.NET 2.0, and in Security tab, uncheck Anonymous Access, check Integrated Windows Authentication. After that, you will be able to connect to WebAdminTools using the following syntax http://localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=XXX&applicationUrl=/YYY in my case, it is: http://localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=D:\Tasks\Libranyon\Photonyon\&applicationUrl=/Photonyon Although I don't recommend to do it, if you want to access WebAdminTool from other computer, open WebAdminPage.cs from (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles\App_Code) and comment the following code block

if (!application.Context.Request.IsLocal) {
  SecurityException securityException =
new SecurityException(
(string)HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject('GlobalResources',
'WebAdmin_ConfigurationIsLocalOnly'));
  WebAdminPage.SetCurrentException(application.Context, securityException);
  application.Server.Transfer('~/error.aspx');
}

The Discrete Logarithm Problem

Firefox extension packaging script

Pre-requisite:

1. 7zip or any other compression utility.
2. This script must be run from top most, build directory (i.e. where install.rdf and chrome directory resides).
3. The directory must have the exact same name as the chrome/jar name in install.rdf. It is case SENSITIVE.

#!/bin/bash
x=`basename \`pwd\``
mkdir build/
mkdir build/chrome
cd chrome
7z a -tzip "$x.jar" * -r -mx=0
mv "$x.jar" ../build/chrome
cd ..
cp install.* build
cd build
7z a -tzip "$x.xpi" * -r -mx=9
mv "$x.xpi" ../
cd ..
rm -rf build

The HELL that find is!
