My friend
I am a beginner in freeRADIUS, My goal is to simulate freeRADIUS with Eduroam. Some of the internal resources are helpful, but some processes are a bit difficult for me. Is there anyone out there who has a clear and simple explanation of how to implement it in virtual situations? I need to understand what's going on with it and what kind of configuration we should have.
Thank you in advance.
How do you want simulate Freeradius with eduroam? Like a partner institute (IdP and SP) or like a roaming operator? If your choice is the first, more precisely IdP, you can follow this https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/eduroam.

I am building an Umbraco site, and there is a need for a really simple forum (e.g. one level of topics, a simple subject/body form for new entries and replies, that's about it)
What is the easiest way to implement this? I think nForum is an overkill. Should I go with Umbraco API for member management and content creation, of should I use my own prefixed db tables and custom backend implementation?
Thanks in advance

For small and limited requirements you can surely look at the UFORUM, it is time tested and pretty decent.
It supports membership out of the box...

Check it out Hope it helps.
is there a ready solution (gem, plugin...) to quickly have a back-office for a mostly static website?
It should be a bit more user-friendly than admin-data.
Thanks,
Augusto
You could try, in order of rising backend complexity (but also increasing frontend userfriendliness):

If by "back-office", you mean a Content Management type of system, then I've heard very good things about Radiant.
Typus always worked for me:

You might want to check out Forest Admin. They will allow you get an up and running back-office in minutes. They have all the standard features you need so you will be able to easily perform CRUD actions for your data models.
I'm learning Ruby on Rails and have just signed up with LunarPages as my webhosting company. To start, I want to write some test applications and get them uploaded and running on my website just to understand how things work. However, I don't want anyone looking at what I'm working on as I learn. Does anyone have any advice as to how I should structure my pages and sites in such a way that I can keep them hidden until I'm ready to go live? Can I easily do something like this?
www.mysite.com <- everyone can see
www.mysite.com/testapplication1 <- no one can see for now
www.mysite.com/testapplication2 <- no one can see for now
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I'm just starting out. By the way, I have heard of Heroku but I've already paid for this webhosting service so I'd like to get my money's worth, at least until my subscription is up.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if LunarPages offers the level of configurability that is required to run rails apps from sub-directories. I'd use subdomains (testapp1.mysite.com, testapp2.mysite.com) and then use appropriate access control (could be htaccess, HTTP BASIC AUTH in your app, or something more complex like authlogic)
I am looking for a good role based authorization solution to use alongside Authlogic. Anyone have any good suggestions? Please list some pros and cons from your experience if possible please.
Acl9 works great with AuthLogic:

At RailsConf, I saw a lightning talk on Lockdown and was very impressed. Anyone with a modest amount of db and rails experience can roll their own ACL system, but Lockdown looks nice because it tries to keep the permission stuff out of the way.

I had used role_requirement previously but I didn't dig it.
I have recently have been using a gem called easy_roles. Super light weight and super easy to use. It's also flexible enough for you to implement your own controller security etc etc.
http://github.com/platform45/easy_roles
Check out http://blog.platform45.com/2009/10/05/howto-basic-roles-for-users for basic role requirement, works with restful_authentication and authlogic..
It's really simple, fast and lightweight.
I need to add role based permissions to my Rails application, and am wondering what the best plugins out there are to look into. I am currently using the RESTful authentication plugin to handle user authentication. Why is the plug in you suggest better than the other ones out there?
Ive got to recommended easy_roles. Its super light weight, and doesn't require extra tables etc etc.
http://github.com/platform45/easy_roles
http://gemcutter.org/gems/easy_roles
But role authentication is definitely site dependent. Different role authorization plugins suit different sites.
If you dont feel easy_roles suits your needs, check out:

I use, and really like, role_requirement:

We've put role_requirement into Bort too, as it's probably the best solution out there at the moment.
I'm a very satisfied user of ACL

do try it!
I recommend Rails Authorization which will work with Restful Authentication quite nicely.
