I am new to Ping Federate. I have developed SAML 2.0 SSO browser profile code from an application. Tested it using WSO2 Identity Server. It works in PingFederate too. But I am facing hard time figuring out the pieces of puzzle in PingFederate.
Please point me to a good resouce on this.
Thanks
Ping has a video in their library here that describes creating an SP connection.

I am working on a project , client server based live meeting.
I connected two systems in same network. The system is sending mail to each other but cannot join in chat at same time .
I don't know exactly how to configure and connect web browser with server so that it can communicate.
What will be the problem not allowing to chat and please suggest any method to overcome this fault.
In desperate need of help..

You could use SignalR as a possible solution. It allows real-time functionality on your web site.

So I'm thinking about building ASP.NET Core website to host it on Linux based hosting provider. But I still want to use MSSQL database, so best choice for that would be Microsoft Azure.
My Question
Now my question is rather security based, since I know, that hosting them on different providers is totally possible (Regarding this question)
But if I'm about to do so, then how will be my data encrypted? If I'm about to use default HTTP protocol, then I asume, it's not, but if to use HTTPS protocol, it should be encrypted as well? Or how would it work, do I need to setup some other protocols or security for that matter?
My Thoughts
Since Client won't be directly connected with Web Site to Database connection, then there is not chance, that this connection would be listened, yet this "might not be listened" is rather not a far chance. And if HTTPS is included, then all connections should be encrypted, then it should work same with Web Server to Database connection.
You can access Azure SQL from anywhere as long as IP address is in the firewall rule. Since communication to Azure SQL is on SSL/TCP at all times, data is already encrypted.
Ideally, you want to host Azure SQL and web application in same region not to mention same provider. The main reason is your website will be dramatically slow due to network latency, if you host those in different location.
Recently, Azure offers App Service on Linux. It is definitely worth the try, before considering an alternative route.
FYI: Web Apps on Linux does not yet support deployment of .NET Core apps from uncompiled source. You need to publish/compile your .NET Core app locally first, and then push the published site bits to your app.
We are migrating from a dedicated server with a local virtual SMTP server to Windows Azure. As far as I can tell Windows Azure does not allow a local SMTP server to be setup in IIS. The SMTP Server option in the management console is missing. How would I setup an email relay so that I can have a .net web application send emails from a Windows Server 2012 virtual machine in Azure?
This is more like corollary to what #mcollier has stated. Given that you are already on Azure and you get 25,000 free emails (there are higher plans as well) with your subscription as well.
You can configure a Virtual SMTP server which relays to the sendgrid services. For the development perspective you will have the view of using your own SMTP server / service. Setting up a sendgrid based service is explained in this link.
I have used sendgrid earlier and my experience with this was amazing. As #mcollier has pointed out, using services like Sendgrid will give good chance of staying away from spam problem, if you try to setup and use the SMTP service of your own because of the reverse lookup etc.
PS: The above Virtual SMTP Server can be replaced with Amazon SES, which is equivalently a good service. Check out more info here.
First, assuming you're using a Windows Azure IaaS VM. Correct? If so, I think you need to enable that role/feature in Windows Server.
Second, why the need to send emails from that specific server? Would a service like SendGrid work? One problem people sometimes have with email servers in Windows Azure is the domain of your service (something.cloudapp.net) does not match your vanity domain when a reverse DNS lookup is performed. This could cause the email to be flagged as spam (since you don't technically own the sending domain, something.cloudapp.net).
I developed an direct relay application using the normal RFC email commands and lock that on my application, but strange that some test emails get delivered using the relay on windows AZURE VM, and all other mails are not getting any bounce response, and making a sense that every email is being delivering,
This is strange behaviour on azure vm.
so it means you can't send email using azure vm as a smtp mail server, if like to test then simply download promailer marketing manager from jsmtp.com
I am working on creating component using the Core Service to connect to Tridion 2011 SP1. I wrote the code in the server machine to create a component through the Core Service, and it worked well. The code was executed from server machine.
Now I want to execute same code from client machine.
I came to know that we can execute the code from Client machine as well.
Can any one share what all the configuration that I need to do in the client machine to make it work?
CoreService is a WCF webservice and as with any webservice there's no any difference as to where you connect to it from, provided you can connect and authenticate. All you need to do is to change app.config of your client to point to proper server, or change it in the code if you have it hardcoded. Also, you might need to add authentication to your client code in case you don't want to use default credentials.
In general, CoreService is following WCF and if you are having any problems with it - you can troubleshoot it as any other WCF service. There are plenty of answers on the internet.
Have a look at this: http://yatb.mitza.net/2012/03/core-service-client-sample-code.html
It describes several ways of connecting to the Core Service.
So i want to to create a web application using asp.net to connect to another application (for example a simple windows form) using sockets. The problem is i'm behind firewall and i don't have the authority to mess with the firewall settings, what other options can i do besides sockets?
My application is fairly simple, the web application will be hosted on the internet and has a "connect" button, when its click it establish connection with the windows form that is on another computer and display the message "Connected" if its connected. All this will be tested behind some kind of corporal firewall. How do i get around this?
The firewall is there specifically to stop this kind of thing.
The bestway around it would be to have the Forms app poll the server for connectivity - this can be made to look near real time by making the server receive the request, then wait until it gets a connect action, or time out after a few minutes and return nothing. Then the forms app would request again.
I think instead of using directly a web application, you should look forward to create a web service to solve both the purposes. You can have its reference in both of them. your Web Form will make a request to connect to the web service instead of application. That will solve both purposes.
