    http://blogs.interakting.co.uk/steve/archive/2008/07/04/Security-Conducting-a-Security-Review-and-why-your-designs-should.aspx

    I'm currently conducting a due-diligence review of a technical system.  The system is a classic distributed, two-tier system with data held centrally and business-logic delegated to an application tier.  I've been asked to perform a security analysis as part of my review.  I can't tell you anything …

    Following on from Steve's excellent post on how to copy one or more properties from one Page Type to another, I decided to share how easy it is to turn his hard work into an EPiServer plug-in so that it will appear in the admin area of the CMS.

    Updating EPiServer Version: Login Failed for User ''

    http://blogs.interakting.co.uk/brad/archive/2008/08/14/updat...

    pulling the connection string out of my web.config, but it appears it was ignoring the fact it specified an Integrated/Windows connection and was passing an empty SQL username to the database - hence the empty quote marks above. (cheers for your help Steve!) Solution: Temporarily change the SQL connection string in the site's web.config to use an SQL username/password, perform the update and change the string back.

Enter Steve, who suggested I try setting the culture to that of the SPECIFIC language before getting a reference to the page and getting it's LinkUrl property, and bingo it worked! The only thing to remember is to make sure I set the culture back to the correct

    Better IIS Logging

    http://blogs.interakting.co.uk/brad/archive/2008/05/16/Bette...

    sent the test email and checked the log - to say it was unhelpful is an understatement! I was wrongly assuming that "extended" format meant it would have more information than the other logging formats which didn't have "extended" in their name! Enter Steve who suggested I change the format to Microsoft IIS Log File Format (shown in the image below). I did, and the log file was suddenly completely what I was expecting and I could straight away see what I needed (the 'TO' email address in this case).
