MinHash for dummies

Duplicate document detection is becoming increasingly important for businesses that have huge collections of email, web pages and documents with multiple copies that may or may not be kept up to date. MinHash is a fairly simple algorithm that from all my Googling has been explained very poorly in blogs or in the kind of mathematical terms that I forgot long ago. So in this article I will attempt to explain how MinHash works at a practical code level. Before I start, please take a look at  http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/mmds/ch3.pdf . That document goes into a lot of theory, and was ultimately where my understanding on MinHash came from. Unfortunately it approaches the algorithm from a theoretical standpoint, but if I gloss over some aspect of the MinHash algorithm here, you will almost certainly find a fuller explanation in the PDF. I'll also be using pseudo Java in these examples instead of traditional math. This means when I use terms like Set, I am referring to the gr...

Authenticating via Kerberos with Keycloak and Windows 2008 Active Directory

Image
The following instructions show you how to configure Keycloak with Windows AD in order to use Kerberos authentication. Assumptions The Kerberos realm is VIRTUAL.LOCAL The hostname used to access Keycloak is virtual.local. This just means we are running Keycloak on the domain controller. In production virtual.local will be replaced with something like keycloak.dev.virtual.local or something like that, giving you a SPN of  HTTP/keycloak.dev.virtual.local@VIRTUAL.LOCAL Configuration Create a windows domain account called Keycloak. Run the following command to assign a SPN to the user and generate a keytab file: ktpass -out keycloak.keytab -princ HTTP/virtual.local@VIRTUAL.LOCAL -mapUser Keycloak@VIRTUAL.LOCAL -pass password1! -kvno 0 -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -crypto RC4-HMAC-NT Verify the SPN has been assigned to the user with the command: setspn -l Keycloak Configure the LDAP settings in Keycloak like this. Since we are running Keycloak on the domain controller, we...

Fixing OpenVPN "Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: cipher final failed"

When connecting to a VPN I was constant getting the error Mar  8 09:29:27 openvpn[1696]: Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: cipher final failed I had imported the supplied ovpn file and had followed all the other configuration steps, so this was quite frustrating. Then I saw this in the logs: Mar  8 09:31:07 openvpn[1790]: WARNING: 'cipher' is used inconsistently, local='cipher BF-CBC', remote='cipher AES-256-CBC' Changing my client to use "cipher AES-256-CBC" instead of the default (which apparently was cipher BF-CBC) fixed the issue.
