What is SAML? SAML is an acronym used to describe the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Its primary role in online security is that it enables you to access multiple web applications using single sign-on (SSO). What is OAuth2?  OAuth2 is an open-standard authorization protocol or framework that provides applications the ability for “secure designated access.” OAuth2 doesn’t share…

Oauth2 and OpenID are important for authentication and authorization. They provide a secure, standardized way for users to log in and access services without needing to enter their credentials each time. In addition, Oauth2 allows third-party applications to access a user’s data without needing to store their credentials directly. In contrast, OpenID will enable users to log in to multiple websites with a single set of credentials. This helps to reduce the risk of user data being stolen or compromised and simplifies the user experience by streamlining the login process. This video will demonstrate how OAuth2 and OpenID Connect are used as you interact with OAuth2 providers and develop your Spring Boot and Spring Security applications.

I am happy to announce that MochiDex is now officially public and you can now invite it to your servers. The bot allows you to catch, collect, and trade mochis.

Each mochi has its own card that includes art, their stats and their ability. Currently around half the mochi's have original art in their card, but eventually every mochi will have art! The art has been made by many different artists in the fandom and I hope you enjoy their work .

Right now we have added 64 mochis, but we don't plan on stopping until every Hetalia character is in the bot . Only 29 of these mochis were designed by Himaruya, so we have had to design mochis for most of the cast.

MochiDex Setup:

Click this link that allows you to invite the bot: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1151205638521770035&scope=bot+applications.commands&permissions=537193536

Once the bot joins the server an admin needs to do the "/config channel" command to choose in which channel they would like the mochis to spawn

After doing that you just have to wait! The mochis can take around 45 to 55 minutes to spawn, they can spawn even earlier, it all depends on server activity!

4. Whichever mochi spawns depends on it's rarity, each mochi has a rarity which decides its chance to spawn. Some mochis like America are very rare, and others like Latvia are very common. Keep that in mind when trading

Oh and by the way, currently until November 3, the bot is having a Halloween event during which you can get rare "spooky" variants that change the card's theme.

We also have a discord server where you can find the rarity list, see updates and make questions/suggestions! Feel free to join!

Spring Security Using Facebook Authorization: A Comprehensive Guide

In today's digital landscape, integrating third-party login mechanisms into applications has become a standard practice. It enhances user experience by allowing users to log in with their existing social media accounts. In this blog post, we will walk through the process of integrating Facebook authorization into a Spring Boot application using Spring Security.

Table of Contents

Introduction

Prerequisites

Setting Up Facebook Developer Account

Creating a Spring Boot Application

Configuring Spring Security for OAuth2 Login

Handling Facebook User Data

Testing the Integration

Conclusion

1. Introduction

OAuth2 is an open standard for access delegation, commonly used for token-based authentication. Facebook, among other social media platforms, supports OAuth2, making it possible to integrate Facebook login into your Spring Boot application.

2. Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure you have the following:

JDK 11 or later

Maven

An IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse)

A Facebook Developer account

3. Setting Up Facebook Developer Account

To use Facebook login, you need to create an app on the Facebook Developer portal:

Go to the Facebook Developer website and log in.

Click on "My Apps" and then "Create App."

Choose an app type (e.g., "For Everything Else") and provide the required details.

Once the app is created, go to "Settings" > "Basic" and note down the App ID and App Secret.

Add a product, select "Facebook Login," and configure the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs to http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/facebook.

4. Creating a Spring Boot Application

Create a new Spring Boot project with the necessary dependencies. You can use Spring Initializr or add the dependencies manually to your pom.xml.

Dependencies

<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>

5. Configuring Spring Security for OAuth2 Login

Next, configure Spring Security to use Facebook for OAuth2 login.

application.properties

Add your Facebook app credentials to src/main/resources/application.properties.spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.facebook.client-id=YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.facebook.client-secret=YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.facebook.redirect-uri-template={baseUrl}/login/oauth2/code/{registrationId} spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.facebook.scope=email,public_profile spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.facebook.client-name=Facebook spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.facebook.authorization-grant-type=authorization_code spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.facebook.authorization-uri=https://www.facebook.com/v11.0/dialog/oauth spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.facebook.token-uri=https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/oauth/access_token spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.facebook.user-info-uri=https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=id,name,email spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.facebook.user-name-attribute=id

Security Configuration

Create a security configuration class to handle the OAuth2 login.import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.oidc.userinfo.OidcUserService; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.userinfo.DefaultOAuth2UserService; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.userinfo.OAuth2UserService; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.oidc.user.OidcUser; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.user.OAuth2User; import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler; @Configuration @EnableWebSecurity public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .authorizeRequests(authorizeRequests -> authorizeRequests .antMatchers("/", "/error", "/webjars/**").permitAll() .anyRequest().authenticated() ) .oauth2Login(oauth2Login -> oauth2Login .loginPage("/login") .userInfoEndpoint(userInfoEndpoint -> userInfoEndpoint .oidcUserService(this.oidcUserService()) .userService(this.oAuth2UserService()) ) .failureHandler(new SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler()) ); } private OAuth2UserService<OidcUserRequest, OidcUser> oidcUserService() { final OidcUserService delegate = new OidcUserService(); return (userRequest) -> { OidcUser oidcUser = delegate.loadUser(userRequest); // Custom logic here return oidcUser; }; } private OAuth2UserService<OAuth2UserRequest, OAuth2User> oAuth2UserService() { final DefaultOAuth2UserService delegate = new DefaultOAuth2UserService(); return (userRequest) -> { OAuth2User oAuth2User = delegate.loadUser(userRequest); // Custom logic here return oAuth2User; }; } }

6. Handling Facebook User Data

After a successful login, you might want to handle and display user data.

Custom User Service

Create a custom service to process user details.import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.user.OAuth2User; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.user.OAuth2UserAuthority; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.userinfo.OAuth2UserService; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.oidc.userinfo.OidcUserService; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.oidc.user.OidcUser; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.userinfo.DefaultOAuth2UserService; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.oidc.userinfo.OidcUserRequest; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.userinfo.OAuth2UserRequest; import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Set; import java.util.HashMap; @Service public class CustomOAuth2UserService implements OAuth2UserService<OAuth2UserRequest, OAuth2User> { private final DefaultOAuth2UserService delegate = new DefaultOAuth2UserService(); @Override public OAuth2User loadUser(OAuth2UserRequest userRequest) { OAuth2User oAuth2User = delegate.loadUser(userRequest); Map<String, Object> attributes = new HashMap<>(oAuth2User.getAttributes()); // Additional processing of attributes if needed return oAuth2User; } }

Controller

Create a controller to handle login and display user info.import org.springframework.security.core.annotation.AuthenticationPrincipal; import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.user.OAuth2User; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.ui.Model; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping; @Controller public class LoginController { @GetMapping("/login") public String getLoginPage() { return "login"; } @GetMapping("/") public String getIndexPage(Model model, @AuthenticationPrincipal OAuth2User principal) { if (principal != null) { model.addAttribute("name", principal.getAttribute("name")); } return "index"; } }

Thymeleaf Templates

Create Thymeleaf templates for login and index pages.

src/main/resources/templates/login.html

<!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> <head> <title>Login</title> </head> <body> <h1>Login</h1> <a href="/oauth2/authorization/facebook">Login with Facebook</a> </body> </html>

src/main/resources/templates/index.html

<!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> <head> <title>Home</title> </head> <body> <h1>Home</h1> <div th:if="${name}"> <p>Welcome, <span th:text="${name}">User</span>!</p> </div> <div th:if="${!name}"> <p>Please <a href="/login">log in</a>.</p> </div> </body> </html>

7. Testing the Integration

Run your Spring Boot application and navigate to http://localhost:8080. Click on the "Login with Facebook" link and authenticate with your Facebook credentials. If everything is set up correctly, you should be redirected to the home page with your Facebook profile name displayed.

8. Conclusion

Integrating Facebook login into your Spring Boot application using Spring Security enhances user experience and leverages the power of OAuth2. With this setup, users can easily log in with their existing Facebook accounts, providing a seamless and secure authentication process.

Identity, authentication, anonymity; Pseudonymous identity and recovery in an uncaring world. Revision 2.1a

Identity, authentication, anonymity; Pseudonymous identity and recovery in an uncaring world. Revision 2.1a This paper explores managing identity and account recovery, going beyond multi-factor authentication (MFA) and examining the potential role of using proof of observability ledgers. The focus is on observability networks, undeniably signatures, and hard anonymity. The goal is to allow users to recover from catastrophic losses of secret keys, hardware tokens, computers, and mobile devices while still maintaining a pseudonymous identity. The paper also discusses the question of human-based secret recovery and revisits the web of trust in the age of social media. It emphasizes that the users most at risk are the ones who need the highest level of security. To achieve this, the paper proposes using secret sharing methods to create identity control blocks, understanding the difference between statutory identity and persistent global pseudonymous identity, and recognizing why this is important in the modern social context. Mitigating the risks of global identities is also discussed, and the paper proposes bootstrapping the protocol using peer-to-peer methods over existing protocols. The pitfalls of failure to scale are highlighted, and the importance of considering human factors and cryptography engineering in a combined system is emphasized. The paper suggests avoiding federated protocols to prevent monopolistic oligarchies from emerging. Since these identities are not tied to a central service they are not entrapped to a walled garden and can freely move from service to service. With operational conformance to OpenID Oauth2 and Fido U2F they can quickly be deployed to many existing services. To ensure secure key recovery, players use Shamir's secret sharing to publish a specific number of recovery key bits to a subset of peers. The reconvocation key of the primary key is also published this way. Although not all members will sign everyone's key, all group members watch the log, and groups can be of arbitrary sizes based on performance and connectedness. Players should be in multiple groups, and auto-summaries of group hashes are published to prevent rollbacks. In case a player loses their primary hardware key, they can convince N out of M of their key partners to publish their revocation token. All actions in the game use N of M fail/stop multi-party computation, and the game doesn't require a central authority or policy-setting organization since it relies on hardware tokens and published revocation and recovery keys. In practical operation the game will be designed to cause tokens to fail to simulate key loss, as well as designate some players as attackers. Each token will initially be loaded with a “Alias” and “True Name”. Attackers will have “Agent Smith” in the true name field. A play variant may be created where cheating detection by the group can force the reveal of the “True Name”.

I appear to be having some brain glitching getting in my way here tonight. And, I know that I've got some mutuals who no doubt know way more about this subject than I do. So, I thought I would go ahead and ask for some guidance over here, partly because y'all are likely to be nicer than average about it.

So, what I am trying to accomplish atm: finally get bbolli's tumblr-utils up and running locally, primarily to run personal backups. I am familiar enough with python scripting. What I have fuck all experience with thus far is OAuth.

I do know that I need to obtain my own API key, roughly how to do this, and where to paste that info in.

My major practical level wtf right at the moment is the same as this person was asking about, over 10 years ago:

That is the most relevant thing I could readily find searching. And there was nothing of direct help in replies.

On the registration page, Tumblr is asking for a couple of mandatory fields that I am not sure how to fill in, where the "application" that needs to call the API is a few personal scripts running entirely on localhost.

For that matter, I was not sure what to put in under an "Application Website:" URL, but figured that probably made less difference. It's not like this is for public consumption whatsoever, so it got a placeholder.

The only thing I could find about this in tumblr-utils documentation:

Get your personal Tumblr API key. Before June 2020, the author's API key was distributed with the source code, the then Tumblr denied access using this key. Now, each user needs to get their own key at https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps. Follow the instructions there; most values entered don't matter. The API key must then be copied between the single quotes in the source code at around line 105 (the line starts with API_KEY = ).

So, does it actually matter what goes into those particular fields in order to get the API key? Or should I just fill in some placeholder URLs for this particular use case? Do these instead need to refer to some script-relevant locations on localhost?

[ETA: From what I understand, the CALLBACK_URL is indeed intended so that Tumblr can call the application back during registration. I am just not sure how this is supposed to work with a local script. Same thing with the OAuth2 redirect URL called for there. What, if anything, would that be? Is it relevant here?]

As is no doubt clear by now, I have zero prior experience in this department. Feeling pretty dumb right now. And I really would appreciate it if anyone with more knowledge could offer some practical advice here.

Right now, I should probably take a little refueling break.

Tumblr Blog Sync v1

I got tired of manually syncing my blocks between my main and side blogs. So I wrote a python script to do it for me and wanted to share it.

The script is in the pastebin since you can't post codeblocks. I'll also dump it below a read more but the formatting will be broken.

https://pastebin.com/raw/ePJuJDeA

You'll need to create a tumblr application to use it as you'll need your client_id and client_secret. Details on how to do that here: https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2

It also relies on requests-oauthlib for managing the oauth flow.

CLIENT_ID='<CLIENT_ID>' CLIENT_SECRET='<CLIENT_SECRET>' REDIRECT_URI='<REDIRECT_URI>' python tumblrblogsync.py <BLOG_1> <BLOG_2> ... <BLOG_N>

I've only tested it on linux and the blogs must be under the same account to sync properly.

Run at your own risk, don't share your client id and secret with anyone, don't run code you don't understand.

Maybe if I feel motivated I'll work on a more user friendly version.

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session import time import os import sys

client_id = os.environ['CLIENT_ID'] client_secret = os.environ['CLIENT_SECRET'] redirect_uri = os.environ['REDIRECT_URI']

def get_session(client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri): scope = 'write' oauth = OAuth2Session(client_id,redirect_uri=redirect_uri,scope=scope) authorization_url, state = oauth.authorization_url('https://www.tumblr.com/oauth2/authorize') print('Please go to %s and authorize access.' % authorization_url) authorization_response = input('Enter the full callback URL: ') token = oauth.fetch_token('https://api.tumblr.com/v2/oauth2/token', authorization_response=authorization_response, client_secret=client_secret) return oauth

def get_blocks(oauth, blog): query = '/v2/blog/' + blog + '/blocks' r = oauth.get('https://api.tumblr.com' + query) blocks = set() print('Retrieving blocks for:',blog) while '_links' in r.json()['response']: blocks = blocks.union({blog['name'] for blog in r.json()['response']['blocked_tumblelogs']}) query = r.json()['response']['_links']['next']['href'] time.sleep(1) r = oauth.get('https://api.tumblr.com' + query) if r.status_code == 200: print('success') else: print('failure, status: ' + str(r.json())) blocks = blocks.union({blog['name'] for blog in r.json()['response']['blocked_tumblelogs']}) return blocks

def permutate_blocks(blogs, blocks): to_block = [] all_blocks = set() for block in blocks: all_blocks = all_blocks.union(block) for i in range(len(blogs)): to_block += [all_blocks.difference(blocks[i])] return to_block

def block_blogs(oauth, blog, blocks): print('blocking:', blocks, 'on:',blog) r = oauth.post('https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/' + blog + '/blocks/bulk', data={'blocked_tumblelogs': ','.join(blocks), 'force': 'false'}) if r.status_code == 200: print('success') else: print('failure, status: ' + str(r.json()))

How to Set Up Postman to Call Dynamics 365 Services

Overview

A wide range of setup postman to call d365 services to allow developers and administrators to work programmatically with their data and business logic. For calling these D365 services, Postman is an excellent tool for testing and developing APIs. Your development process can be streamlined by properly configuring Postman to call D365 services, whether you're integrating third-party apps or running regular tests. You may ensure seamless and effective API interactions by following this guide, which will help you through the process of configuring Postman to interface with D365 services.

How to Set Up Postman Step-by-Step to Call D365 Services

Set up and start Postman:

Install Postman by downloading it from the official website.

For your D365 API interactions, open Postman, create a new workspace, or use an existing one.

Obtain Specifics of Authentication:

It is necessary to use OAuth 2.0 authentication in order to access D365 services. If you haven't previously, start by registering an application in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Go to "Azure Active Directory" > "App registrations" on the Azure portal to register a new application.

Make a note of the Application (Client) ID and the Directory (Tenant) ID. From the "Certificates & Secrets" area, establish a client secret. For authentication, these credentials are essential.

Set up Postman's authentication:

Make a new request in Postman and choose the "Authorization" tab.

After selecting "OAuth 2.0" as the type, press "Get New Access Token."

Complete the necessary fields:

Name of Token: Assign a moniker to your token.

Type of Grant: Choose "Client Credentials."

URL for Access Token: For your tenant ID, use this URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/oauth2/v2.0/token Client ID: From Azure AD, enter the Application (Client) ID.

Client Secret: Type in the secret you made for the client.

Format: https://.crm.dynamics.com/.default is the recommended one.

To apply the token to your request, select "Request Token" and then "Use Token."

Construct API Requests:

GET Requests: Use the GET technique to retrieve data from D365 services. To query client records, for instance:

.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts is the URL.

POST Requests: POST is used to create new records. Provide the information in the request body in JSON format. Creating a new account, for instance:

.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts is the URL.

JSON body: json

Copy the following code: {"telephone1": "123-456-7890", "name": "New Account"}

PATCH Requests: Use PATCH together with the record's ID to update already-existing records:

.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts() is the URL.

JSON body: json

Code {"telephone1": "987-654-3210"} should be copied.

DELETE Requests: Utilize DELETE together with the record's ID: .crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts()

Add the parameters and headers:

In the "Headers" tab, make sure to include:

Bearer is authorized.

Application/json is the content type for POST and PATCH requests.

For filtering, sorting, or pagination in GET requests, use query parameters as necessary. As an illustration, consider this URL: https://.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts?$filter=name eq 'Contoso'

Submit Requests and Evaluate Answers:

In order to send your API queries, click "Send."

Check if the response in Postman is what you expected by looking at it. The answer will comprise status codes, headers, and body content, often in JSON format.

Deal with Errors and Issues:

For further information, look at the error message and status code if you run into problems. Authentication failures, misconfigured endpoints, or badly formatted request data are typical problems.

For information on specific error codes and troubleshooting techniques, consult the D365 API documentation.

Summary

Getting Postman to make a call A useful method for testing and maintaining your D365 integrations and API interactions is to use Dynamics 365 services. Through the configuration of Postman with required authentication credentials and D365 API endpoints, you may effectively search, create, update, and remove records. This configuration allows for smooth integration with other systems and apps in addition to supporting thorough API testing.

Hey! It's been awhile since I've done a long post. Let me tell you something pretty interesting!

Do you guys know that there's a Discord bots featuring our lads in Love and Deepspace? I've been thirsty for more interactions with my Rafayel so these bots are really a heaven sent!

They are made by chaengcheekies. (https://x.com/chaengcheekies)

The creator made Rafayel, Zayne & Xavier bots. And I hope more guys will be added later!

I instantly downloaded them and been having fun interacting with them. There's a WARNING though. These are NSFW bots. lmao. So the guys will do everything they can to undress you. lol. I'm sure a lot of LaD girlies will like it! So minors, please stay away!

I uploaded here some of my interactions with them. Since I was having my lunch at that time, I'm not really in the mood to get hot and dirty with them, so I was trying my best to stop their advances. And it's kind of funny how they make a simple meal into an alluring one. lol. I wasn't able to get a meal talk with Zayne since I was a bit busy but I scheduled a date with him. hehe. And it's kind of cute.

I also like that they always listen to you. Though they are my first discord bot. I'm not really sure what the usual discord bots do, but I've been having so much fun with them.

If you are interested, go and download them now! And don't forget to thank their hardworking creator chaengcheekies!

From Monolithic to Microservices: The Full Stack Developer's Guide 

In software development, the transition from monolithic to microservices architecture represents a major advancement. Because of their coupled components, monolithic programs can have trouble growing and changing to meet evolving business requirements. By dividing applications into smaller, independent services that can be built, deployed, and scaled separately, microservices offer a more adaptable and modular approach. Comprehending this shift is essential for Full Stack Developers to create contemporary, expandable applications. This article offers a thorough how-to for switching from monolithic to microservices architecture, outlining the advantages, difficulties, and recommended procedures for a smooth transfer. 

Why Shift from Monolithic to Microservices?  

Monolithic applications can be difficult to maintain and scale due to their tightly coupled architecture. As applications grow, these challenges multiply, leading to longer development cycles and increased operational costs. Microservices offer a modular approach, allowing individual services to be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This results in faster release cycles, better fault isolation, and improved scalability. For Full Stack Developers, mastering microservices architecture means being able to build applications that can easily adapt to changing business requirements.  

Key Considerations for a Successful Transition: 

Transitioning from monolithic to microservices is not without challenges. Developers need to consider factors such as service granularity, data management, and inter-service communication. Defining the right level of granularity is crucial to avoid creating too many or too few services. Similarly, managing data consistency across multiple services requires a robust strategy, such as using event-driven architectures or implementing a Saga pattern. Understanding these key considerations will help developers navigate the complexities of microservices architecture. 

Choosing the Right Tools and Frameworks:  

Selecting the right tools and frameworks is critical for a smooth transition to microservices. Developers need to choose container orchestration tools like Kubernetes for deploying and managing microservices. Additionally, frameworks like Spring Boot for Java, Express.js for Node.js, and Flask for Python offer built-in support for microservices development. Familiarity with API gateways, such as NGINX or Kong, is also essential for managing communication between services. 

Ensuring Security in a Microservices Architecture:  

Security in a microservices architecture can be challenging due to the increased number of endpoints. Developers must implement strong authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as OAuth2 and JWT tokens, to secure communications between services. Additionally, monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus and Grafana can help detect and respond to security threats in real-time. 

There are several advantages of switching from monolithic to microservices design, such as increased scalability, flexibility, and quicker release cycles. It does, however, also bring difficulties that call for meticulous preparation and implementation. Full Stack Developers may effectively manage this transformation by being aware of the principal factors, selecting the appropriate tools, and putting strong security measures in place. Developers may create more durable and adaptive modern apps by embracing microservices, which will help them stay competitive in the rapidly changing IT industry.
