Overview When developing IoT solutions for customers, managing device security and user profiles is critical, especially when running processes with elevated privileges or performing system-level tasks.
Suppose you are developing a small application that needs to make configuration changes on IoT devices. In such cases, you might write code to run system-level commands or scripts to manage tasks like network settings, certificate installations, or device-specific configurations. However, simply executing these commands without considering the user context or security requirements can lead to unpredictable results.
In today’s fast-changing world of computer systems, making sure system work well and don’t break down is really important. That’s where Prometheus comes in. It’s a free toolkit that helps keep an eye on things and warns engineers when something might be going wrong in the collection of information that computer systems create.
What is Prometheus? You might have seen the movie Prometheus! but I am here to talk about open source monitoring system Prometheus, which comes in when there was a need for a robust monitoring solution for cloud-native environments, It is an open-source project set by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
Note to the Reader This article is for developers with an existing ASP.NET Core Entity Framework based application currently utilizing SQL Server database for user authentication.

Overview In the ever-evolving landscape of database management, the decision to migrate from SQL Server to PostgreSQL marks a strategic move towards enhanced flexibility, cost efficiency, and scalability.
Why Add an IIS Application Pool as a Login in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)? When developing web applications hosted in Internet Information Services (IIS) and using SQL Server as the database, a common requirement arises: adding an IIS Application Pool as a login in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). This article explains why this step is essential and how to implement it effectively.
Understanding IIS Application Pools and SQL Server Integration What Is an IIS Application Pool?
We were working on an application that utilized Azure Active Directory (AAD) for handling user authentication and authorization seamlessly. Everything functioned as expected until certain users encountered login difficulties. Following a comprehensive examination, we discovered that authentication issues were exclusively experienced by users who were members of an increased number of Azure Active Directory Groups.
To address the problem, we initially resorted to removing users from some of these groups to restore functionality.
