Similar steps should be possible on other operating systems using similar cryptographic tools. Lines starting with $denote terminal commands, which you can type and run (without the $ of course).

How to Write an Authentication System the Right Way - Part 1

A few days ago, I received a letter in the mail from the IRS. I opened the letter, worried that I might have screwed up my taxes and would now owe the United States Government a ridiculous amount of money. It turns out, that might have been better news than the news I got. The letter explained that somebody else was using my social security number.

Wait, what! How did somebody else get my social security number? The obvious answer is that somebody who was entrusted with the safekeeping of my secret information failed to uphold their responsibility to keep that information safe. Pardon my language, but that person is a real *$%&^! Once your information is compromised, it is compromised forever. My social security number will be out in the wild for the rest of my life, and that is a terribly annoying burden that I will have to live with. If only the person responsible had done their job right.

It was probably Equifax…

Instalink Release Notes: 1.5.0

Instalink version 1.5.0 includes:

NEW FEATURE: Process Queues. Now you may easily queue processes that will be run at a later time. For example if you get 1,000 orders in 10 minutes but your ERP service only allows you to submit 100 per 10 minutes, you can queue the orders and Instalink will send them through as soon as permitted. This allows Instalink to effectively manage the rate limits that other services impose on your processing.Increased POST upload limit on endpoints from 10MB to 100MB.Added Map transformations to the Transform menu for easy selection.

Bug fixes in 1.5.0 includes:

Corrected issue with deep cloning runtime services that could affect system stability.Corrected procedural issue with processing Maps as JSON.Added Map transformations to the Transform menu for easy selection.Corrected issue where success or error logs would not be written under a specific configuration.Fixed issue where scheduled processes would not run correctly inside of connectors.
