kandi X-RAY | authority Summary

authority is a Ruby library typically used in Security, Authorization, Ruby On Rails applications. authority has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

Authority helps you authorize actions in your Ruby app. It's ORM-neutral and has very little fancy syntax; just group your models under one or more Authorizer classes and write plain Ruby methods on them. Authority will work fine with a standalone app or a single sign-on system. You can check roles in a database or permissions in a YAML file. It doesn't care! What it does do is give you an easy way to organize your logic and handle unauthorized actions. If you're using it with Rails controllers, it requires that you already have some kind of user object in your application, accessible via a method like current_user (configurable).

QUESTION

Can I use bot framework to send/update message as a user in MS Teams?

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 05:19

Is it possible to use bot framework to send / update message as a user rather than the bot as the sender of message (perhaps after some form of authentication with the user that allows the bot to perform such operations)?

Below is an illustration of the current situation: I have sent a message by person A into Teams channel, and I would like to do an update to the message using bot framework as Graph API does not support update of message. However, the message does not get updated although there was no error.

This is placed in a web api controller "/test". Hence the update will be trigger by sending a POST to /test.

Where a bot sends messages on behalf of a user, attributing the message to that user helps with engagement and showcase a more natural interaction flow. This feature allows you to attribute a message from your bot to a user on whose behalf it was sent. You can use on-behalf-attribute to send message as a user - please check User attribution for bots messages

Mybatis custom type handler doesn't work: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority.()

There are 3 users(Admin, Teacher, Student) in the application with same attribute so I created a basedUser entity to let them inherit it.

Type handler is not a good fit for your usage.
You should use constructor mapping.

Looks like all is eplained in your exception:

takePersistableUriPermission via ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT fails on a custom documents provider but only for API < 26

Asked 2021-Jun-11 at 03:39

I have a custom DocumentsProvider implementation that works flawlessly for a user to choose photos or videos for use by the app, as long as the Android API is 26 or greater. Using APIs 21-25 I get a security error similar to what is described in this SO post. However I am already doing everything mentioned in that post as a solution.

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-11 at 03:39

There isn't anything wrong with your implementation of DocumentsProvider, it's the expected behavior on API 19-25 when working with SAF.

Even if you get a SecurityException while trying to take persistable URI permission you'd still always have access to URIs exposed from your own DocumentsProvider.

Thus it'd be a good idea to catch and ignore the SecurityException specially from your own URIs.

Note: If your app contains a DocumentsProvider and also persists URIs returned from ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE, or ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT, be aware that you won’t be able to persist access to your own URIs via takePersistableUriPermission() — despite it failing with a SecurityException, you’ll always have access to URIs from your own app. You can add the boolean EXTRA_EXCLUDE_SELF to your Intents if you want to hide your own DocumentsProvider(s) on API 23+ devices for any of these actions.

Here's a note from official Android Developers blog that confirms this behavior - https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/building-a-documentsprovider-f7f2fb38e86a

I'm afraid that your design cannot be implemented.

Please see the Important tip in ROPC flow document.

MSA (personal accounts) can't use ROPC no matter whether it is invited into AAD tenant or not.

ROPC flow only works for work accounts.

It is also stated in the link https://aka.ms/msal-net-ropc.

You can consider using Client credentials flow (application permission) or Auth code flow (delegated permission, requires interactively login).

Azure B2C: remove token expiration

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-08 at 22:15

In Single Page Apps, your Refresh token (RT) is only valid for 24 hours maximum. See the note here.

Calling acquireTokenSilent() will attempt to use the RT to get a new Access Token (AT). If that RT has expired, acquireTokenSilent() will use a hidden iframe to do a cookie based (AAD B2C web sso cookie) authentication to get a new AT and RT.

The AAD B2C web sso cookie is valid for a maximum of 24hours. If you want it to last longer, you need to use Keep Me Signed In.

If the AAD B2C web sso cookie has expired, you will get an exception, and should call loginRedirect().
