Tyler's Python Adventure: SQL Server Meets MS-Exchange | SLUUG 2021-12-8

Main: Fun and Games with Python, Big Data and Exchange
By: Tyler Rudie
Abstract: Tyler did it again. After listening to his coworkers complain about how long it took to do their Job; one too many times. He asked what could go wrong if he used Python to hook up an MS-Exchange Mailbox to a SQL server. The answer, a lot. To the tune of 3gb.
Base: Wildcard Certificates for sluug.org
By: Lee Lammert
Abstract: SLUUG has a LOT of domain names pointing to portions of the SLUUG site. It would be a REAL pain to setup a LetsEncrypt certificate for each; so, three years ago when we originally built Bock, we setup a wildcard cert (i.e. *.sluug.org). Simple eh? NOT!
A normal cert is validated by proving that the cert is physically linked to that domain name, but a wildcard cert could be ten, twenty, or a few hundred domain names - all using the SAME certificate. One certificate to renew every 60 days for all sites ending with sluug.org. Ownership can't be proven the same way as a single site certificate, so stop by Wednesday to see how SLUUG gets it done.
