Installing LDAPS certificate on Windows 10
I realized that my LDAPS certificate is not trusted with the following command in PowerShell:
certutil -verify ldap.crt
Why do we pass parameters to coroutines by value in C++?
C++ coroutines and const reference parameters
A coroutine func accepts a parameter by const reference in the code below:
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
namespace asio = boost::asio;
using asio::awaitable;
using asio::use_awaitable;
class Param
{
public:
Param(int val) : m_val(val)
{
std::cout << "Param constructor " << m_val << std::endl;
}
Using BOOST 1.89 with BOOST_ASIO_HAS_IO_URING on Linux
Added the following to the common section of CMake:
add_definitions("-DBOOST_ASIO_HAS_IO_URING")
and the following to the project section:
find_library(URING_LIB uring)
target_link_libraries(${TEST_TARGET} PRIVATE ${URING_LIB})
Experimentations with LDAP/SASL on Ubuntu
SASL
I configured Kerberos on Ubuntu 24.04 WSL and was able to run the following command:
export KRB5_TRACE=/dev/stderr
ldapsearch -H ldap://myserver.my.local -Y GSSAPI
that produced the following output:

C# code:
public void bindWithMs(string ldapServer, int ldapPort, string ldapUser, string ldapPassword)
{
var ldap = new System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.LdapDirectoryIdentifier(ldapServer, ldapPort);
using (var connection = new System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.LdapConnection(ldap))
{
connection.AuthType = System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.AuthType.Negotiate;
connection.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120);
connection.SessionOptions.ProtocolVersion = 3;
connection.SessionOptions.Signing = true;
connection.SessionOptions.Sealing = true;
connection.Credential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ldapUser, ldapPassword);
connection.Bind();
}

Increasing image size in WordPress
I updated my Ubuntu 24.04 and my WordPress stopped loading images of size 1.3MB and higher.
I fixed this by adding the following:
client_max_body_size 32M;
to Nginx configuration.
(more…)An example where we need const_cast in C++
class Example
{
public:
Example()
{
m.emplace("abc", 13);
}
const int& findValue(const std::string& val) const
{
auto i = m.find(val);
if (i == m.end()) {
throw std::runtime_error(std::format("Key {} not found.", val));
}
return i->second;
}
int& findValue(const std::string& val)
{
return const_cast<int&>(
const_cast<const Example*>(this)->findValue(val));
}
An Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) example
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
struct IObject {
virtual ~IObject() = default;
/// Returns the name of the object.
virtual std::string getName() const = 0;
/// Prints a textual description of the object.
virtual void describe() const = 0;
/// Eats another object.
virtual bool eat(IObject* other) = 0;
};
