"Open source Authentication, Authorization, Entitlement and Federation software." "OpenAM provides core identity services to simplify the implementation of transparent single sign-on (SSO) as a security component in a network infrastructure. OpenAM provides the foundation for integrating diverse web applications that might typically operate against a disparate set of identity repositories and are hosted on a variety of platforms such as web and application servers."
OpenAM takes over from OpenSSO that was owned by Oracle who decided to stop development.
Just as it say's in the title. Some online tools that may be useful when starting some HTML5 coding.
Very handy. A quick, disposable WordPress development environment that will run from a USB key or anywhere else. Leaves nothing behind, just delete the folder. Includes Apache, PHP, MySQL & a pre-configured WordPress deployment.
A native PHP web application that provides Service Provider (for authenticating users to your own web application) and Identity Provider (for providing federated user credentials and single sign-on [SSO]) SAML services for authentication. Open source.
Shared and dedicated MongoDB service. 16MB of shared space is free
"WebScarab is a framework for analysing applications that communicate using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It is written in Java, and is thus portable to many platforms. WebScarab has several modes of operation, implemented by a number of plugins. In its most common usage, WebScarab operates as an intercepting proxy, allowing the operator to review and modify requests created by the browser before they are sent to the server, and to review and modify responses returned from the server before they are received by the browser. WebScarab is able to intercept both HTTP and HTTPS communication. The operator can also review the conversations (requests and responses) that have passed through WebScarab. "
"The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a 501c3 not-for-profit worldwide charitable organization focused on improving the security of application software. Our mission is to make application security visible, so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about true application security risks. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of our materials are available under a free and open software license."
"Jash is a DHTML-based window that gives you command-line JavaScript access to the current browser window. With this console you can quickly debug scripts, manipulate the DOM, view the current page's objects, functions, and variables, execute arbitrary Javascript, enter new CSS (in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari), and much more." - A useful tool to execute JavaScript, make live (temporary) CSS changes to a page, discover the page structure, etc. for developers. Written totally in JavaScript so can be used on any platform with any browser. Include in your own pages for debugging or load via a bookmarklet to run on any page.
Handy link to the main JavaScript libraries for including in projects if you prefer to deliver them from a worldwide location (e.g. Google). This can be faster if your web server is regional but the reach of your web application is global, if you are expecting high visitor numbers or always want to deliver the latest version of the library without having to worry about copying to your web server.
"The jQuery Cycle Plugin is a lightweight slideshow plugin. Its implementation is based on the InnerFade Plugin by Torsten Baldes, the Slideshow Plugin by Matt Oakes, and the jqShuffle Plugin by Benjamin Sterling. It supports pause-on-hover, auto-stop, auto-fit, before/after callbacks, click triggers and many transition effects. It also supports, but does not require, the Metadata Plugin and the Easing Plugin."
This is one that really works and is genuinely easy to set up - no complex CSS like so many of these things. It also works very well with just text or other HTML structures.
How to use JQuery (or other libraries) in a bookmarklet! With an example of making textarea's resizeable.
Chris Adams provides a template for creating your own bookmarklet and explains some of the reasons you might want to use this technique for development and testing. He also points out some gotcha's to be careful of.
"A Javascript debugger for IE. Companion.JS adds the following features to IE :- Detailled javascript error reporting (call stack and real file name where the error occured).- "Firebug"-like Console API feature.- Javascript console feature useful to inspect javascript objects at runtime.- A toolbar icon to open the Companion.JS panel."
A wrapper around several IE engines allowing web pages to be tested.
