We recently had cut and paste in office apps disabled because some genius pasted PII to a public web server. An org of 1000 people and maybe a couple percent of them touch sensitive info resulted all the tech people being unable to share anything in a useful format. Hell yeah.

Thanks Ants posted:I'm glad the courts smacked that one down because it's a ridiculous position to take. "This entity that we present as an agent of the company gave you bad information but we shouldn't be liable". What next, car companies avoiding liability for safety failings because they outsourced the manufacture of a particular assembly? You know our courts are absolutely going that direction.

We deal with some company that does some webthing for us, the only interaction I generally have them is DNS, some certs and occasionally sitting on a call going "Yes the VPN is up, no i don't know why your side can't see it, you should try to restart the session as that has worked everytime in the past." Today though I get a email flagged high importance from the manager of the team that deals with them, they need us to re-issue every single cert we have with them, and they need it by next Friday. Apparently, they host on some CDN and they are telling us that they won't be able to manage things on this CDN until June of next year. That is right, they won't be able to do anything on these for a YEAR. I have no loving clue what their issue is, but the response from our side should have been "No problem, I'm sure we can find a different provider in six months." The person in their team who normally does this is out this week, and no one else there knows certs, so I guess I get to do this.

Wife's mobile ISP switched to a 5G network that her Huawei P10 is too old to support. They say the 4G connection should still work but it doesn't. Not sure what to even do on the phone - 4G toggle is on. Customer service giving the runaround.

Okay, this isn't at work, but at school. I had to reset my password because I couldn't remember what it was (I stay logged in on the school website generally). They do not say what the complexity requirements are, but are happy to say when a password doesn't meet them.

My favorite is when they have some arbitrary password length that they don't tell you about when you create the password. So your 64 character, randomly generated password saved in your password manager gets truncated down to 20 characters and of course does not work when copy/pasting from the password manager.

Adding a special character that is accepted but then not escaped when you try enter it so you don't know why it's failing until you escape it yourself.

God, I hate that, and it's so hard to diagnose.

I can't believe there are companies popping up that are building products aimed at commercial customers and are rolling their own authentication still. "Hi would you like to try our range of cloud managed network devices?" "Can I authenticate using SAML or OAuth?" "No sorry" "lol". I'm not in the business of creating additional work, why would I deploy something that gives people another credential to manage.

There are a lot of firms that do SAML while completely duplicating the user management side with SCIM (Adobe or Apple for instance) and I have even stronger feelings about those than rolling their own idp.

SCIM does make sense though because it allows for deprovisioning of accounts. You can create accounts just-in-time without it but the application has no way to differentiate between an account that hasn't been used in two months because the person is away, or an account that hasn't been used in two months because that person has left the company. Closing old accounts and expiring the data is a good thing to do. If the issue is that they don't support SAML roles and make you configure access levels in the SP itself then yeah that's dumb, but I'll take SSO existing before I get onto things that are really nice to have.

Closing old accounts and expiring the data is a good thing to do. Adobe and apple do require for you to set up permissions/enablements on their portals, not using entra session claims, and also in apple case it doesn't deprovision. It drives me bonkers.

For the smaller departmental apps where the app admins manage user access and SCIM isn’t an option, I automatically send an email to them upon a user termination to remind them to also delete the account in the app.

We have a single hosted application that still uses ldap for user sync, the only options are ldap or manual bulk file upload. It’s literally the only reason I have a limited scope replica ADAM instance still in use and I hate it so much. The servicenow mid servers just talk to AD ldap directly, that doesn’t really count.

I only heard (well, saw) that for the first time recently. If you are wondering, if I understood it correctly, it is supposed to be the sound of spitting, for exactly the reason you are imagining. I am not sure I think second chances are appropriate for someone who thinks that is an acceptable thing to say at work. It's not borderline.
