Gatsby Greats
Were you waiting for The Great Gatsby with baited breath like I was? Were you dying to see all the glamour, the beautiful clothes and even more beautiful people - a.k.a Leonardo Di Caprio. Well the movie certainly didn't disappoint . For a few hours I lost myself in the world of Jay Gatsby. It was a time for luxurious finishes and fabrics. Details and textures. Opulance was the name of the game.
Sitting on the floor surrounded by velvet cushions- why not? Recreate your own cushion collection.
How about art deco inspired wallpaper with a metallic finish. Amp up the glam factor!
What about an elegant chaise lounge for those rainy days with a book, or when you just have to feel like a movie star!
Maybe these elegant chrome binoculars for looking out at the lake or spying on the neighbours!
Mirrored finishes always add glamour and reflect light into your space. Like these from handbag.com
In the Gatsby home the floors were magnificent, polished wood with intricate details. It can be re-created today like this amazing example.. Craftsmanship at it's best!
And who wouldn't want a closet like Gatsby's full of organized clothes? With Leonardo in it too maybe! I may do a spot of organizing this weekend and see what happens!
Over all a great movie if you like beautiful design, people and fashion. If you haven't seen it maybe check it out this weekend. . . . . . get Gatsbied!
Oh yeah and who doesn't love a yellow car!

Because whenever I press the the power key to go into sleep mode the WiFi icon disappears. I disabled Task Manager to test that scenario, sure enough the WiFi icon still there when I get in and out of sleep mode. can anyone tell me which task handles the WiFi connection so I can add that to the ignore list in Task Manager. Thanks!! *** update found the solution... . go to settings . wireless controls . wi-fo settings . menu -> advanced . wi-fi sleep policy -> this default to 'when screen turns off', select 'never' this allows your wifi never goes to sleep until you manually turn off wifi

These are the area's that concern me as a Christian in regards to many churches.
Taking the bible out of context and then teaching others the errors is damaging the body of Christ.
1. Leaders, ministers, vicars, who will not allow women to teach or preach in their church. Let me say it is God's church and the Holy Spirit gives gifts to whom he chooses.
2. You don't need a collar to preach and teach, you don't need theological college, you do need to handle the word of God correctly, it is not about qualifications, it IS about spiritual growth, awareness, humility, and study of the word.
3. We expect people to come to church and conform to our ways instead of God's.
4. When we have a person needing help we pass them onto an outside agency instead of showing spiritual confidence in the power of Jesus to help.
5. Many say, I don't have professional training to help that person, wrong, Jesus can use you to help them and to love them.
6. There has been some awful teaching about separating the sexes, women pray for women, men for men, groups are separated into male and female, there is no scriptural basis for such a thing, this is derived from fear not faith, and might I add political correctness, again not scriptural.
7. On a Sunday during the service apart from worship, prayer and a sermon, we do not have time for the spiritual gifts to be developed, or to operate, how then are we to become mature?
8. We should test the spirit of our leaders as many are corrupt and misguided in how they teach the scriptures.
9. Some churches are obsessed with demons others don't believe they exist.
10. Teaching on Hell is rare, WHY? God help us all, we need to teach this truth.
11. Repentance is encouraged by set prayer instead of heart prayer, there is no or very little encouragement to confess to one another and pray for one another so that we may be healed.
12. There is little opportunity for healing on a Sunday.
13. A lot of Churches don't have an evening service which does not help those who cannot come in the morning due to medication, sleep disorders, night workers e.tc.
14. Those who get saved have to wait up to a year or more before getting baptized, this is not scriptural.
15. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ can baptize you don't have to be a minister.
16. We pray for the homeless but then put notices on church doors telling the homeless not to sit on the church step as it will be classed as a public disorder, so move on.
17. we soon forget when addicts die on church doorsteps or are found in the church toilets and still don't open our doors up to the most needy.
18. we have a middle class church system that has completely forgot what it is like on the other side of the fence.
19. We have extremely limited teaching on spiritual warfare, occultism and how to minister, mental health issues, we can all be touched by that problem and lots of other subjects.
20. Fasting seems to have little encouragement in most churches, especially corporately.
21. We have lots and lots of empty rooms in churches that could be used to help those in need, but we don't utilize the space and keep it all to ourselves instead of helping the community.
22. When someone different comes into church there is suspicion and judgement rather than love.
23. The church is getting more and more like a social club instead of really getting to know those in it, many people I know who have attended church for years, the same church, can go weeks without seeing anyone.
24. The trend to have a super church but no pastoral loving care.
25. The lack of helping single parents and the poor even though those who are rich in the church stay rich and comfortable KNOWING that some are going without. How can the love of God be in that person?
26. Some of us are told to not criticize when an open comment is made, a bit like this blog, actually the bible teaches that those who listen to constructive criticism are among the wise, Proverbs 15: 31 Judgement and Criticism go hand in hand when it is concerning our brother and sister, but constructive criticism and being open is fundamental to change and improvement. Many leaders have used this area to control others and to keep people quiet rather then encourage honest ,open sharing. This area is often misapplied.
Jesus said you will know my disciples by the fruit they bear, LOVE takes time, shares, cares, love is a living action of God that wants to think of others and help.

The residents of Chicago are viewing the death of 16-year-old Pierre Loury through two vastly different lenses.
The official police account says that Loury, whose Facebook photo shows the black teenager with multiple tattoos holding a gun, was killed by police Monday night after an "armed confrontation" with a police officer.
Community residents who have taken to the streets claim Loury was fleeing police, that police celebrated his shooting with "high-fives" and that the Loury never owned a gun.

"Everything they said on the news is not the truth. It is not the truth. It's not the truth," said Tambrasha Hudson, Loury's mother, who insisted he did not own a weapon. "It's sad. My baby was 16, not 30. My baby was 16. Sixteen!"
The incident began Monday night when police went to pull over a car they believed was connected to a shooting earlier in the day. Loury fled. One officer followed.

"(Officers) attempted to stop the car, at which time the offender fled from the car, with one officer in pursuit," said Chicago chief of detectives Eugene Roy. "A foot pursuit ensued, during the course of that pursuit, it led to an armed confrontation between the offender and the officer, resulting in the officer firing shots with his service weapon, striking the offender."
WFLD TV reported that "a witness claims he saw officers 'high-five' each other after the teen was gunned down." The Daily Mail reported witnesses as saying the teen was trying to climb a fence when he was shot.

At a vigil Tuesday night, protesters portrayed Loury as a victim of police violence.
Chicago is still struggling to grapple with the Laquan McDonald case, in which Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder after shooting McDonald 16 times in 2014.
Karen Winters, Loury's aunt, said the death was a tragedy.
"Once again, we're looking at environment, this community. How some of these young boys are just plagued with certain influences. But not to this extent, by no means," she said. Winters said Loury had only "small minor incidents" with police in the past.

The Community group vying to take on Weymouth Pavilion are accusing the council of dragging their feet.
Despite a decision being taken to hand the venue over to the community 6 weeks ago, a new report now suggests when it's
closed in May - the new lease holder may not be given the keys until next year.
Phil Say is leading a bid to run the venue.

text: Whenever a physician tells a patient he`s got a serious disease, the invariable first question is ``Doc, what are my chances?`` Usually the physician has to provide a vague answer because, in truth, he doesn`t really know enough about the diagnosis to lay specific odds. But that may be changing if a new development from the Mayo Clinic is a sign of things to come in medicine. Mayo researchers in Rochester, Minn., have developed a computer model to provide survival odds for people who have serious liver disease. The model uses five variables that include the degree of jaundice, the amount of body-building protein albumin the person is making, blood-clotting ability, extent of fluid retention and the patient`s age. After all this individual information is fed into the computer, it takes less than a minute for the machine to spit back a risk score and projected survival curve. Besides helping to educate patients about the relative severity of their ailment, the program may also help doctor allocate livers for transplantation to those patients most likely to benefit, said Dr. E. Rolland Dickson, a Mayo gastroenterologist.

You may have the savviest application strategy in the history of college admissions, but
I've got some bad news for you: You still can't game the admissions interview.

You can study for the SATs; you can rewrite your college essay a hundred times;

No pressure.
Yeah, right.
But even if there's no foolproof recipe for cooking up the perfect interview, there

Product Highlights
The SM Pro Audio Mic Thing V2 Portable Microphone Isolator is a stand-mounted microphone isolation and absorption system for treating troublesome microphone conditions and acoustic environments in professional and project recording applications alike. The Mic Thing V2 consists of a pair of side-wings and a rear panel made of durable steel construction, and high-density anti-bacterial foam.
Its acoustic absorption properties minimize reflection, off-axis acoustic signals and maximize the quality of recordings. The side-wings are easily installed onto the rear panel and are angle adjustable for maximum efficiency. A pair of mesh high-frequency, metal reflection grills are included and may be installed onto the side-wings.
The grills provide a boost to high frequency response and reduce the "dry" effect associated with acoustic absorption. In addition to all this, the Mic Thing V2 includes a tripod mounted microphone stand with boom. The stand features a spring-loaded telescoping design, wide tripod base and enough length to mount up to three Mic Things at once.

New Haven Coliseum Implosion
I blogged late today because we were down in New Haven to see the implosion of the New Haven Coliseum . We viewed it from my son's office on Chapel Street on the Penthouse floor. We felt the building shake a bit. Lots of smoke and debris flew about. It was pretty cool to watch. Equally as stunning was the crowds that came out to see it at 7:45 in the morning!
We took some video but someone else posted their video on YouTube and you might want to check it out.

Life Is Not A Dream
by art_aesthetics , April 24, 2009—12:00 AM
I wrote a new song and painted a picture based on the lyrics. It all started when my fingers stumbled across an A-minor-2nd chord on the guitar. That feverish tone cluster has a half-step interval between B and C at its core, dissonant but in a good way.
I usually compose instrumental music which equates to abstract art but a song is narrative, hence the picture. The watercolor-pencil drawing was done afterward but the image evolved in my mind's eye as I worked on the music. The words describe idle pleasantries and the psychological relationship between this man and woman. The picture is a still-life in multiple exposures. Life is not a dream but it__™s stranger than fiction. The music engages the mind to explore the space of this painting. The colors are less than natural but then so are the vocal harmonies in the song; they__™re dark sounding at first, like the Volga Boatman, but they lighten up.
I used a flat pick for this tune instead of finger-style guitar playing. The wrist action articulates the bright, treble tones of the Am2 arpeggio heard after the first two lines of each verse. It__™s atmospheric: sounds like water in a river, all swirling and eddy-like. That minor chord jangles the nerves real nice and then resolves perfectly into the C major of the main chorus which soothes the ear and translates to the calm, ordered scenario of this dreamscape.
Inspired by a "row, row, row your boat..." motif, I was even going to put "merrily, merrily" in the background vocals but my empiricist philosophical leanings insisted that life is NOT a dream. Still the illustration looks like someone__™s dreaming __" or hallucinating. What's with the couple in the tree, anyway? Well, the line, "...up a tree without a paddle" is just me being funny. We've all been there. Musically, I underscore this semantic glitch with a B-flat major in the chord progression just prior to that line, sidestepping the established pattern. Ha!
Elsewhere, the line "...steady as a rock, now let it roll" points to two lovers who look kind of like Canova's version of Cupid and Psyche perched on a boulder on the far bank. The entire scene is viewed from an enclosed foreground as if inside the listener's head. The dreamer is both the object and subject. Geez-O-Pete what a mix-up. It's like hearing the music from the inside out. This reverie ends with the ethereal A-minor-2nd chord.
It's not how things look that makes them real But how you see them, what you think and feel Funny how that works but here's the deal...
Life is like a dream
Lying fast asleep upon the bed You were wide awake inside my head Looking through my eyes you smiled and said...
Life is like a dream You row your boat downstream But it's not what it seems...to be Life is not a dream
Sometimes we laugh until we cry 'Til streams of consciousness run dry Out on a limb we straddle Up a tree without a paddle...high, high and dry
Love is like a river let it flow We can make the time to take it slow Steady as a rock, now let it roll
Life is like a dream You row your boat downstream But it's not what it seems...to be Life is not a dream
I love you more than life, no lie I cross my heart and hope to die But if I die I won't be dead I'll be alive inside your head, surprise!...close your eyes
(guitar)Life is like a dream A boat that floats downstream A glossy magazine A picture on a screen It's never what it seems...to be Life is not a dream.

"My experience in the Women's Spirituality Program was a humbling gift. I came to the program looking for direction, education, and a look at different spiritualities. I came out as an empowered spiritual feminist scholar."
-Sarah Scott, Women's Spirituality Alumna, MA (2015)
"It's a rare gift to collaboratively study the intersections of spirituality and social justice with colleagues who have made this practice their life's work. The Women's Spirituality Program is a call to action. We weave theory and practice, courageously dismantling outmoded systems of oppression while embodying the wisdom that will sustain such transformation."

Burundi's inflation rate rose to 7.7 percent year-on-year in June from 7.2 percent in May after political unrest increased costs of essential commodities such as food, official data showed on Tuesday.
The landlocked east African nation faces one of its worst political crisis. Dozens have been killed in weeks of protests against a third term bid for President Pierre Nkurunziza.
He cites a constitutional court's decision that cleared him, and was re-elected in a disputed vote last week.
An official at the Institute of Economic Studies and Statistics (ISTEEBU) said street protests to reject the third term for Nkurunziza have paralysed economic activities, especially trade between rural areas and Bujumbura on one side, and also between neighbouring countries and Burundi.
Food inflation rose to 10.0 percent in the year to June from 8.5 percent in May, state-run ISTEEBU said in its report.
Food is the major component to measure inflation in the coffee-producing of nearly 10 million people.
Economic analysts fear a worsening economic situation for the aid-dependent country, as most western nations giving money to Burundi have already declared that elections which led to Nkurunziza's victory were not free and credible.
Belgium and European Union, the biggest donors have warned they could take economic sanctions against Burundi. The U.S., another major donor, said it will review in the next months its assistance programme to the country, including cutting some aid.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to network access and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing a password interface to multiple password domains.
2. Description of the Related Art
Data communication networks may include various computers, servers, nodes, routers, switches, hubs, proxies, and other devices coupled to and configured to pass data to one another. These devices will be referred to herein as "network devices." Data is communicated through the data communication network by passing data packets (or data cells or segments) between the network devices by utilizing one or more communication links. A particular packet may be handled by multiple network devices and cross multiple communication links as it travels between its source and its destination over the network.
The various network devices on the communications network communicate with each other using predefined sets of rules, referred to herein as protocols. Different protocols are used to govern different aspects of the communication, such as how signals should be formed for transmission between network devices, various aspects of what the data packets should look like, and how packets should be handled by the network devices.
In a large networks, portions of the network may be configured to interconnect subsets of the total number of computers or network devices operating on the network. It is also not uncommon for each portion, or domain, to use different communication protocols and interconnect computers running different operating systems.
Conventionally, each domain attempts to maintain security by requesting users attempting to access resources on the domain to authenticate their identity utilizing a password. Passwords for valid users are stored in a password database managed by a local password database management system. Likewise, applications running within the domain may have their own password access portals to restrict access to the particular application.
On a large corporate network, including dozens or hundreds of domains and hundreds of applications, maintenance of the large number of password databases may get prohibitively expensive. Specifically, any time user privileges associated with a particular user are modified those modifications must be propagated to all password databases associated with systems (applications or domains) to which the user has been granted privileges. Additionally, employing multiple password databases requires the user to remember multiple passwords, possibly dictated by rules imposed by the network administrator for the particular domain or application. These large number of password infrastructures inevitably leads to a reduction in security, since an user is unlikely to be able to remember a large number of passwords, and thus is likely to keep a written list of passwords for the various systems available at their desk. The large number of password infrastructures also requires a large service department, since each password database will need to be maintained by an administrator, and the help desk will need to interface with users that have lost or forgotten their passwords for the various systems. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to have a mechanism for allowing a network user to utilize a single password for access to the disparate network resources.
The present invention overcomes these and other drawbacks by enabling multiple password domains to be synchronized and to provide the network user with a password portal through which the user can manage password access to associated domains and applications. Where the domain/application does not maintain a separate password infrastructure, the central password repository acts as a password infrastructure for that domain/application. Where the domain/application is required to maintain its own password infrastructure, the central password repository interfaces with the password infrastructure on the application/domain to cause password modifications and privilege alterations entered into the centralized database to be synchronized on the network so that the various separate password databases are up to date.
Aspects of the present invention are pointed out with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention is illustrated by way of example in the following drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. The following drawings disclose various embodiments of the present invention for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. For purposes of clarity, not every component may be labeled in every figure. In the figures:
The following detailed description sets forth numerous specific details to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, protocols, algorithms, and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention.
As described in greater detail below, the method and apparatus of the present invention enables multiple password domains to be synchronized and to provide the network user with a password portal through which the user can manage password access to associated domains and applications. Where the domain/application does not maintain a separate password infrastructure, the central password repository acts as a password infrastructure for that domain/application. Where the domain/application is required to maintain its-own password infrastructure, the central password repository synchronizes password modifications and privilege alterations so that the separate password databases are up to date.
Optionally, as shown in
In one embodiment, the CPRs run as peers, each maintaining a full database of passwords and each capable of making modifications to the password database. Synchronization messages 26 are passed between the CPRs to ensure each CPR maintains an updated database. By enabling the CPRs to run as peers, each is able to make modifications to the database without requiring confirmation/approval from a master CPR.
An administrator 28 has access to the CPR to make changes to the database, add users, and take any other actions commonly associated with administrative privileges.
The CPR 12 is configured to operate in several manners, depending on the requirements of the domain or application. For example, Windows domains and Unix domains, cannot operate without maintaining a separate password database without significant modification. In this instance, the CPR 12 allows the domain to maintain its own password database, but operates as an interface to the domain's password database to synchronize password changes and other modifications across the various independent databases. Synchronization across multiple databases enables the administrator to affect user privileges on the whole network by accessing a central location. Synchronization also enables the user 14 to affect a password change on all associated domains by making a change to the one central database.
Alternatively, for those systems that do not need to maintain a separate password database to operate effectively, the CPR provides password services to the systems by responding to password requests to validate and authenticate users seeking to use the system resources. Standard RADIUS requests, LDAP-Bind requests, or other requests, may be made to authenticate a user. Each of these manners of operation will be discussed in greater detail below.
As shown in
In the embodiments illustrated herein, the CPR is configured to handle authentication services, and another network device or the systems are configured to handle authorization. Thus, the CPR, in the illustrated embodiments, is not configured to provide information as to the user's abilities to obtain access to systems on the network, but rather is configured to authenticate to the various systems that the user is who it purports to be. Authorization services may be handled by another network device or service, by the systems themselves, or, optionally, may be incorporated into the CPR system via appropriate modifications. The invention is not limited by how authorization services are provided on the network.
After the user's account has been established in the CPR system, the user has the ability to access the CPR system to manage passwords on the network 10. When the user wishes to access the CPR system to set or change a password, the user indicates its intention by accessing the system and is provided with a web interface 102 to interface the user to the CPR system.
The user then authenticates its identity by entering a valid user ID and password 104. Optionally, depending on the level of authentication required by the CPR system, the user may be required to only enter a Personal Identification Number or, where heightened authentication is required, a two factor authentication procedure may be required. As discussed in greater detail below, two factor authentication may involve use of a token plus password, or another secondary factor such as biometric validation or electronic certificate. The invention is not limited to the particular manner selected to authenticate the user.
After the user's identity has been authenticated, the user is allowed to take action on the password database maintained by the CPR system. For example, the user may wish to change the password to a alphanumeric code that is more easy for the user to remember. To enable the user to take action on the database, the CPR system provides the user with an interface that has fields to allow entry of the user's old password and the new password 106 and optionally any other information deemed important by the administrator. To prevent typographic mistakes from being entered as a new password, the CPR system may require the user to enter the new password multiple times.
Upon receipt of the required data, the CPR evaluates the attempted password change 108, for example by ascertaining whether the old password entered by the user matches the old password in the database, whether the new password has been typed in correctly, and optionally whether the new password meets rules associated with password selection set by the network administrator. For example, the network administrator may require the password to have a certain number of alphanumeric characters, no discernable words, and at least one numeral to qualify as a valid password. Any number of restrictions may be placed on the password to make the password more difficult to guess via a brute force attack. If the attempt is successful 110, the new password is entered into the CPR password database. Otherwise, the user is notified that the attempt was unsuccessful and optionally provided with the reason for the failure and an opportunity to re-attempt to alter the password.
After the user has successfully modified the password database, the CPR will respond with the new password to inquiries 112 from domains and applications seeking password information about the user.
Additionally, the CPR system takes action to synchronize the new password information with other password databases on the network so that a consistent password is used across the network as a whole for the user. Synchronizing the password across disparate domains and applications enables the user to use a single password for systems running on the network, thus minimizing the likelihood that the user will forget their password for a given system.
To synchronize passwords across the multiple password databases, the CPR ascertains which password databases need to be updated 114. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by sending a query to each of the password databases known to the CPR to inquire whether the user associated with a particular user ID has an account on that particular system. Where the user ID is the same on all systems on the network, this may be accomplished via a protocol exchange with the other system to ascertain whether the user exists on that system. Where the user ID is not the same on all systems on the network, the CPR maintains a table of user IDs in use on the various domains and supplies the domain-specific user ID when inquiring whether the particular user still has privileges on that domain or application. In another embodiment, the CPR maintains a list of systems to which the user has access and which also maintain an independent password infrastructure.
Once the CPR has ascertained that one or more password databases on the network need to be updated, the CPR will establish an encrypted and authenticated connection to the other system password infrastructure 116. The communications between the CPR and the other password infrastructure are encrypted, in this embodiment, to prevent the user's password from being visible to third parties on the network. In one embodiment, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption is used to encrypt communications between the CPR and the other password infrastructure. The invention is not limited to use of this type of encryption, however, as numerous other encryption methods may be used as well. Several examples of possible alternative types of encryption protocols include Transport Layer Security (TLS), Private Communications Technology (PCT), Secure HTTP (SHTTP), Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). This list is not exhaustive and the invention is not limited to the particular examples set forth in this list.
The communication between the CPR and the other password infrastructure is also authenticated to enable the other password infrastructure to trust the CPR that the CPR has received authorization to make the change from the user. This prevents malicious applications from assuming the CPR's identity to alter passwords on the network.
The level of authentication may vary depending on the application or domain's requirements. A low level of authentication may be sufficient for applications without significant access to personal or sensitive information. For example, a benefits web server that maintains benefits information for employees may enable the employees to access the benefits information by entering their user ID and personalized identification number (PIN). In this situation, since the material accessed by the password database is protected by a relatively low level of authentication (ID+PIN) the same level of authentication should be sufficient to alter passwords on the application database.
A mid-level of authentication typically involves requiring a user to input a unique user ID and a password. This level of authentication is used by most domains and applications on the network as it provides a good compromise between security and user inconvenience.
Higher levels of authentication may be required as well, as specified by the system. For example, a system may contain extremely sensitive information, such as the company's most valuable trade secrets. In this instance, a very high level of authentication may be required to access the content of the system. Examples of heightened authentication requirements typically involve two factor authentication, such as a password and token. Examples of tokens include smart cards or SecurID cards that may be read directly by the computer system or which display a changing number that is typed into the computer system similar to a password. Tokens may also be used in a challenge/response authentication system in which the computer sends an alphanumeric code to the user, the user enters the code into the token which generates a response based on the code, and the response is input to the computer and used by the computer to authenticate the user. Optionally, alternatives to tokens, such as biometrics, may be used to authenticate the user.
Where the domain or application requires a higher level of authentication, the domain will specify to the CPR the level of authentication. Where the proper level of authentication was not received from the user during the process of modifying information on the database, the CPR may notify the user and require the user to re-authenticate its identity in compliance with the heightened authentication requirements specified by the system.
In one embodiment, certificates are exchanged between the CPR and password infrastructure to authenticate the user. The invention is not limited to utilizing certificates, however, and rather extends to all manners of authenticating the user to the password infrastructure. For example, in one alternative embodiment, the CPR obtains the required authentication from the user and passes the information, over the network to the password infrastructure for verification/authentication. The transmission of the authentication information in an encrypted manner enables the password infrastructure to ensure it has received the proper level of authentication before accepting password information from the CPR. In another embodiment, the CPR will request the user to input valid authentication information and will perform the authentication check with the user. In this embodiment, the password infrastructure relies on the CPR to perform proper authentication before sending password modification information over the secure channel.
Once the encrypted and authenticated channel has been established, the CPR transmits the user ID and new password to the other password infrastructure 118. There are two ways of causing the change: performing a password change or performing a password reset.
If the CPR wishes to engage in a password change transaction to change a password on the system password infrastructure, the CPR issues a command: for user X, if existing password is A, change password to B. Because changing a password using the password change instruction requires prior knowledge of user X's password on the password infrastructure, this command works well only where the password database in the password infrastructure and password database in CPR have been previously synchronized or where knowledge of the password on the system password infrastructure has been previously disseminated to the CPR.
The second way of altering a password on the system password infrastructure is to perform a reset function on the password database of the domain/application password infrastructure. Performing a reset function on the password database forces the password database to accept the new password for the user regardless of what the old password was. Hence, performing a password reset, using the new password as the reset value, will work in situations where the CPR database and the password infrastructure database have not been previously synchronized.
The password infrastructure, upon receiving the password change or password reset command over the encrypted and authenticated communication channel, will apply the change or reset command to its database, and return a status message to the CPR, e.g. change accepted, change rejected 120. Optionally, if the change is rejected, the CPR may attempt a second time to reset the password on the password database to the new value. Once the CPR has received acknowledgements from each of the password infrastructures that the new password has been accepted or finally rejected, the CPR will present the results of the attempted change to the user 122.
In a typical network setting it may be desirable to have redundant CPRs so that the network is not without access to the centralized password repository in the event of a failure associated with the CPR, the network, or the machine hosting the CPR. Accordingly, any change to the CPR's database is communicated to the other CPRs running on the network to enable each CPR to have access to the most recent data.
In one embodiment, synchronization messages are sent between CPRs 124 every time a change is made to the database. In another embodiment, CPR synchronization messages are sent out periodically and each synchronization message contains information of all changes to the database since transmission of the last synchronization message.
In either embodiment, the synchronization messages, according to one embodiment of the invention, include a time stamp associated with the database change to enable the CPRs to only apply the most recent updates to their databases. For example, assume a password change for user X was entered at time=T1 on a first CPR, and a different password change was entered at time=T1+1 sec. on a second CPR. In this example synchronization messages from both CPRs will be propagated to the other CPRs on the network. Upon receipt of the synchronization messages, the CPRs will be able to ascertain when each transaction occurred and update their resident database with the most recent password change. One of the first and second CPRs will also update its database a second time to reflect the most recent password entry for the user. The CPRs will either ignore the message with the older time stamp or will record the password change in a history record for the user so that the CPR may maintain a log of all passwords historically used by the user on the network.
Exchange of synchronization messages between CPRs may take place at several logical stages during the process of updating a user's password. For example, synchronization 124 may occur as soon as the CPR accepts the new password. By causing the synchronization message to be transmitted to the other CPRs upon acceptance of the new password by CPR system, each CPR will be able to respond to request from systems that do not maintain their own password infrastructure. Alternatively, or additionally, synchronization 124 between CPR databases may be performed upon completion of the synchronization processes with the other password infrastructures.
In operation, after a password change has been made through the CPR system, the user will use the new password to access domains and applications on the network. The process followed when an user makes an attempt to access a domain/application 126 will depend on whether the system maintains a separate password database 128. If the system has a separate password infrastructure, it will query its password database using the user ID and password, and possibly enhanced or decreased user authentication information, to ascertain if the user ID and authentication information is valid 130. If the result of the attempted validation is positive, the user will be provided access to the domain/application 132, and if not the user will be denied access to the domain/application 134.
If the system does not have a separate password infrastructure, the system will obtain the user ID and password, or other authentication information, and pass the user credentials to the CPR for validation 136. If the result of the CPR validation attempt is positive, the user will be allowed access to the domain/application 132, and if not it will be denied access to the domain/application 134.
Systems without a separate password infrastructure may use standard or proprietary authentication protocols to present validation requests to the CPR system. For example, in one embodiment, the CPR system is configured to respond to RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) requests. In this embodiment, a domain or application can formulate a RADIUS request using the user's ID and password, transmit the RADIUS request to the CPR system, and receive a response from the system.
In another embodiment, the CPR system is configured to respond to LDAP-Bind (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol—Bind) requests. LDAP-Bind is a form of authenticated LDAP which enables an application to verify with a LDAP server an user's identity. LDAP-bind works well over SSL and hence enables encrypted authentication of an user attempting to access the resource. Since many applications know how to perform LDAP requests this provides a convenient mechanism for interfacing these applications to the CPR system. Other authentication protocols may be used as well, such as the Kerberos protocol available from MIT, Point to Point Protocol (PPP) which has several authentication extensions, and other commonly known protocols or proprietary protocols. The invention is not limited to the use of any particular authentication protocol.
A memory 160 contains data and/or instructions for use by the control logic to enable it to perform the functions required of it to participate in communicating with the administrators, users, and other network devices.
A web server module 162 is configured to provide a standard web interface to the user to enable the user to interact with the CPR system in an user-friendly manner. Specifically, the web server module 162 in one embodiment, may be configured to present web pages containing XML and/or HTML tags to enable the user to view password and optionally other account information currently in the database, to submit new information for inclusion in the database, and optionally to perform other desired actions on the database.
An encryption module 164 may be provided to encrypt traffic between the user 14 and CPR 12, and between the CPR 12 and domains and applications 16-22.
A password database 166 and attendant DataBase Management System (DBMS) 168 are used to store and access records containing user names, ID numbers, passwords, and optionally other information associated with the user such as a list of systems used by the user and other user IDs that the user uses on other systems. Any convenient database may be used to implement the password database, including a relational database accessed via Structured Query Language (SQL). For example, the CPR could utilize an indexed database in a UNIX native NDBM database. The invention is not limited to this particular example or any other particular technology implemented to store the database.
An LDAP/RADIUS server 170 is provided to handle LDAP-Bind and RADIUS transactions with domains and applications that do not maintain their own password infrastructure. Similarly, an authentication module 172 is provided to handle transactions with domains and applications that do not maintain their own password infrastructure. For certain systems, downloadable one-way encrypted password mappings, for example encrypted using UNIX crypt and MD5 hash, may be provided to the requesting systems, although the invention is not limited in this regard. Other systems may choose to communicate using known or proprietary protocols, including the Kerberos protocol, Point to Point Protocol (PPP), OPT-S/Key, Transport Layer Security (TLS), Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), UNIX Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM), or other available or proprietary authentication protocols. The particular protocol or protocols supported by the CPR network device may vary depending on the needs of the systems on the network and the invention is not limited to implementation of any particular authentication protocol.

The Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) announced the Low Power Coalition workshop being hosted at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) show to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA, from June 8-13, 2008. The "Low Power Coalition Workshop – Advances in Low Power Design for Circuits and Systems" will be held on June 8, from 4PM – 7PM in Room 206B in the Anaheim Convention Center.
The economic and environmental requirements for electronic circuits and systems to consume less power per function are going to endure with the electronic and EDA industries for the foreseeable future. Each year, advances must be made to continue this required trend in line with clear requirements specified in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS).
The Low Power Coalition (LPC) at Si2 is steadily making the required advances across the entire design flow; from Electronic System Level (ESL) all the way through implementation. Work is being done to define a complete power-aware reference flow that will be recommended to the industry. To aid in automating many of the steps along the tool chain, a tool-centric data model and associated Application Programming Interface (API) are being defined that will work seamlessly with the OpenAccess API and information model. In addition, enhancements are being defined to extend the Common Power Format (CPF), an Si2 standard first released in March 2007.
This workshop will present the steps forward since the last Low Power Workshop at DAC 2007 and discuss future directions and end-user experiences with the technology developed and implemented so far. A selection of advanced tools that have been developed by some of the EDA companies will be presented to provide tangible progress in power-aware design. The topics and speakers include:
1. Introduction to the Low Power Coalition
Gill Watt, Advanced Micro Devices – Chairman of the LPC
2. Low Power Design Format Requirements: Looking Ahead!
