BrightSpace Valence API getting started issues - desire2learn

I'm attempting to set up and run the basic code sample (python version) found here.
Unfortunately the provided login page fails to resolve (http://lms.valence.desire2learn.com/).
Is there a different sample host I can use to verify my setup?

You are correct; that test host has been retired and replaced by a new one that's associated with the Brightspace Developer Community. To use it, you will need to be a Developer Community member and use a test user provisioned on the new developer environment host.

What is the cause of the Security Constraints Not Satisfied Error when using sam deploy ---guided?

I am attempting to follow the Hello World example for deploying an AWS Serverless Application, but I get a Security Constraints Not Satisfied Error when using sam deploy --guided. I'm pressing Enter at each prompt to accept the defaults per the tutorial.
The curious bit--to me--is if I use the AWS Toolkit extension for VS Code to deploy the app it works fine, so I don't think it has anything to do with my IAM permission config, but I'm new to this so I'm not ruling it out.
Recently the guided deploy was updated to include a prompt confirming if you were ok with not having any authorization defined. At the same time, a check was added that would fail the guided deploy if you answer 'No'. (See the relevant part of the commit here.)
This means that, as of this commit, you can't go through the AWS Hello World tutorial by responding with Enter to accept the default options.
To successfully deploy from the command line you'll need to confirm 'Yes' that you're ok with not having any authorization defined, and then it should work as expected.
During your sam deploy --guided, at the following question you need to answer YES.
OR
You can do sam deploy which skip that

How to make the OAuth 2.0 plugin work on Kong

I am new to Kong and microservice. I am using Kong CE version 0.14.1 and I need to secure an existing API through Oauth2.0 plugin.
I tried to follow the instructions in the documentation kong-oauth2-hello-world provided by Kong.
The problem is when I click on the Authorize button, I always get undefined. I don't get the code that provides the token like the documentation.
I think I missed something or I misunderstood the instraction.
Here the environment variables I used by the Node.js application.
Could anyone help me understand the reason why I get undefined ?
Thank you
I just replaced "openweathermap.org" with "mockbin.org" and it works fine

Cannot deploy stream through spring-cloud-dataflow-server in sap-cloud-foundry

I deployed spring-cloud-dataflow-server-cloudfoundry to SAP Cloud Fondry with environments below:
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_URL:https://api.cf.sap.hana.ondemand.com
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_ORG:{org}
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_SPACE:{space}
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_DOMAIN:{doamin}
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_USERNAME:username
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_PASSWORD:password
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_SKIP_SSL_VALIDATION:false
SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_STREAM_SERVICES: mq
And import stream starter apps using bulk import applications.
And I create stream using "time-source-rabbit-1.3.0.RELEASE.jar" and "log-sink-rabbit-1.3.0.RELEASE.jar".
But I cannot deploy stream.
The status is "partial" fianlly, and apps' runtime are failed.
My question is:
1. Whether spring-cloud-dataflow-server-cloudfoundry can be used in SAP cloud foundry like I used?
2. When deploy stream in cloudfoundry using spring-cloud-dataflow-server-cloudfoundry dashboard, should I set any other necessary properties?
Thanks in advance.
Looking at the manifest.yml, it appears that org, space, and domain weren't replaced with SAP-CF specific values. Pay attention to the following note in the ref. guide.
Now we can configure the app. The following configuration is for Pivotal Web Services. You need to fill in {org}, {space}, {email} and {password} before running these commands.
If you have them replaced with your environment specific properties, the next step is to check the SCDF-server's logs. There will be particular details as to why the deployment failed if it did.
Now to answer your questions.
For #1, it is hard to say without logs or environment details. We don't actively test against SAP distribution of Cloud Foundry. As far as the distribution is compatible with Diego 1.7.1 and over, it should work. We also publish the CF compatible versions in project site. Perhaps this could be useful to compare the SAP CF environment and its foundation versions.
For #2, no, you don't need any other properties.

Building Passbook Passes

I've been working on integration of Passbook for some of my apps. Right now, I've used Ray Wenderlich's tutorial on this, and it is quite frankly a pain to build even one Pass. I have to get the icon files all in place, program the JSON file, get the manifest file filled in with all the SHA1 values, and run a few lines in terminal to sign it, and then another line to zip it. Are there any online services or programs that can be used to save a pkpass file to computer, that I can then upload to my server?
There are also quite some developer tools that help you to create passes, you can find a list on wikipedia.
We provide an Objective-C SDK and a free cloud service that lets you create templates and generate passes. You can find the SDK on github (Sample App is included).
There are a number of services that can be used to generate passess. Take a look on wikipedia for a comprehensive list of providers, tools and projects.
If you want to update passes, then you will need to build a Passbook Web Service. When a pass is updated, the web service sends a new .pkpass bundle to the device. Therefore, your web service must also be capable of signing passes unless you want to manually create and upload them to your server before sending out a push request.
Using our service, PassKit, you can create a template using WSIYWIG editor then create a pass directly on your server via a simple API call. You can also update passes and push updates to passes via our API. If you just want to get hold of the .pkpass bundle, then you can append /d to the pass URL (the one beginning with r.pass.is), or use PassKit API in your User Agent string.
you should also check out Apple's Passbook Support Materials here:
https://developer.apple.com/passbook/
They have a simple XCode project called SignPass that you can use to easily create your own Passes.
Note: you need to be a member of Apple's Developer program to access these materials ..
There's lots more Passbook related info here:

Error TF218027 when creating a Team Project in TFS 2010

Consider the scenario of a user creating a new Team Project. The user is a developer who wants to create and manage their Team Project.
Why can't this user create a new Team Project, including the Reporting Services components?
What can be done to resolve this error?
The exception is
TF218027: the following reporting folder could not be created on the server running SQL Reporting Services.
SQL Reporting services is running under an Active Directory service account created expressly for this purpose.
The developer attempting this action is a member of a TFS group with the following permissions.
The workaround way that I implemented was to ensure the developer was in a group that had 'Content Manager' permissions in the SQL Reporting Services.
I simply added the appropriate AD group in the textbox, and the operation worked perfectly.
First I visited the SSRS page at http://myServer/TFS/Reports/MyCollection
Enter the "New Role Assignment" screen.
I actually blogged about this not too long ago. You usually see this error if Reporting Services gets set up with something other than the NETWORK SERVICE account.
FTA:
I was playing around with my test
instance of Team Foundation Server
today, trying to create a new project,
when I got error TF218027 when it
tried to create the Reporting Services
folder for the project. The strange
thing was, this was not my first
project created on this server.
I searched the Internet for anything
similar, and found a post that said
Reporting Services should be run with
the NETWORK SERVICE account. Since
this was a hastily put together
server, I was running it with the
Administrator account, so I tried
switching it over.
No dice. I got the same TF218027
error, but this time it was due to it
not being able to decrypt the
symmetric keys. Apparently, it's a
bad thing to change the account on the
Reporting Services service.
I hastily changed the account back to
Administrator and resarted the
service. Interestingly enough, this
seems to have fixed the problem.
I just run throught the same issue. I granted the user rights in SharePoint, TFS, and Report Server. And still I was getting the same error message. Then I realized something. I added that user to the Report Server's local administrator's group. It worked! Hopefully this help you out.
