switchboard | The main feature flipper library and web admin application | Access Management library

I want to build a site hosted with Spring Boot and I would like to use AWS SSO as the SAML identity provider for authentication. I have built a PoC application and tried to follow AWS configuration instructions and the Spring SAML examples I could find, but when I browse to my site (on localhost), AWS SSO successfully opens but then fails with "Bad Input".

In my PoC application (which only has code for the authentication and an index page) I have:

• added the spring-security-saml2-service-provider dependency (Spring Boot v2.6.2)
• set up a Custom Application in AWS SSO
• generated a private key and a self-signed certificate
• configured my application properties as follows:

I have a pom file that has a single dependency. I want maven to download the dependency and wrap it in a new jar. However, when I run mvn clean package, it looks for the dependency, finds the dependency, and then looks at it's pom file and attempts to download all dependency of that dependency. How do I tell maven to not look at that dependencies' pom file and just download it?

pom.xml:

I'm using an Azure DevOps YAML build pipeline to compile some java code. The java code uses azure-storage-blob

I can install a bunch of maven jar's but azure-storage-blob returns "Could not find artifact". I notice that it's path is https://repo1.maven.org, not https://repo.maven.org

Among other things I have this in my pom.xml:

I have a legacy database in SQL set up like a spreadsheet with 50 columns. Apart from employee names, the field names would be Machine01, Machine02, etc. and the records would include the date certified on each machine. I am using Access as a legacy front end because there is already so much already coded and staff trained with it.

How would I go about writing a query that would provide the dates each person is certified on, say, Machine27? In Access, I initially had

I'm currently working on a programming question:

Given a string s and an integer k, reverse the first k characters for every 2k characters counting from the start of the string.

If there are fewer than k characters left, reverse all of them. If there are less than 2k but greater than or equal to k characters, then reverse the first k characters and leave the other as original.

I created a program that solves the first 45 of the 60 test cases, but apparently falls apart on really long strings. When fed strings of 999 characters, the last few came out as nonsense.

I cannot see any fault in my code that may have caused that. Any feedback? Simple solutions or just better ways of constructing my code?

A customer sent me a link to check something in an online switchboard. After logging in with Firefox I saw this prompt:

Checking the source I could not find how this is triggered. How is it done?

I have a default Switchboard generated by MS Access and i want to customize every single entry of the list at once.

The Switchboard form by default is set on "contiunous form" and the entry's control is a textbox (ItemText) identified via VBA as OptionLabel1.

I added to the default "Switchboard Items" table a new field called "SecLevel" where i added for each entry/record a value like Admin, Operator and User.

Now i want each item in the Switchboard form's list to change its text color based on "SecLevel" value like red for Admins and blue for Operators.

So i tried like this:

I've been trying to be more explicit in my assignment of character formats for a text editor so that I can understand what I might be able to customize with my current skill range. While the basic copy-paste versions of my format methods worked pretty well, the version below keeps working and then not working in frustrating ways and need help figuring out what might be causing it.

The editor was originally intended to be a WYSIWYG editor styled via tags for documentation. Qt's confusing use of Html hasn't made that easy.

My basic flow is to extract a copy of the current format, check its current state, invert it, and reapply the format to the position or selection it was extracted from.
