Download: https://tinourl.com/2vDnKu
We automatically configure and run not only your application server but all the services on which it depends (databases, search engines, cache backends, etc.). On top of an easy to navigate web interface, we offer you APIs to control all your third-party integrations and tools.
You commit yourself to choosing one of our Service offerings that meet your needs, or those of your organization or users. We may, in the future, offer new or Platform.sh services and/or features through this website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features or third party tools and/or services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service. You commit to abide by and to assure adherence to the technical specifications and limitations of such Services, to assure that the use of our Services is done within the limits of the law and in accordance with these Terms.
We may provide you with access to third-party tools and links over which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input.Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant, and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third-parties.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such third party links or tools "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We are not liable and shall have no liability whatsoever for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of such third party optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s). Certain content, products and services available via our Services may include materials from third-parties.
Please carefully review such third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party tools products should be directed to the third-party.
You agree that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such third party dealings. If there is a dispute between participants on such third party website (or your own), or between users and any third party, you understand and agree that we are under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users or third parties, you hereby release us, our officers, employees, agents, and successors in rights from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
In the case where any user authorized by you consents to a third party integration, you shall be deemed as agreeing to the passage of data to the third party integration partner for the purposes agreed upon between you and us.
Use of third party softwarePlatform.sh allows you to automatically deploy code and services which may have their own terms of services, copyright and licenses. It is your exclusive responsibility to ensure that you have proper licenses to any third party software and libraries and that you comply with their terms of service. This includes, but is not limited to you: Your own project code and any included libraries Libraries pulled during build time into your project through dependency management tools Third party services such as databases, search engines or caches. Most services automatically provisioned by platform.sh are open-source projects with a permissive OSI approved open-source license. Some (such as Elastic Search) have premium versions where you may supply your own license keys. Others (such as MongoDB or the Oracle Java Runtime) may require a specific license.
The guarantee explicitly does not cover SSL certificates (both those provided automatically through Let's Encrypt and through other third-party providers) and their validity. The customer should make sure SSL certificates are valid.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Platform.sh, its subsidiaries, affiliates partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, and contractors, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, costs, demands, damages, liabilities, or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to: (a) anything you provide or approve for using the Services, (b) your use of the Services, (c) your breach of these Terms of Service (including your failure to comply), or (d) any actual, prospective, completed or terminated service between you and a third party.
Recently I have been getting interest from various third parties about integrating their desktop clients with the API to allow users of my product to access their data using that third party application.
Upon further research, this seems to be OAuth in action, and seeing as my API is .Net-based, I am thinking I should use DotNetOpenAuth and provide a similar mechanism. Unfortunately the samples are sparsely documented (if at all) and the only tutorials I can find online seem to be focussed on helping you provide a login mechanism for your users so that they can log into your website using a third party provider.
What I would really like to do is have my REST API handle all of the core authentication and business logic for my web application and have, under the hood, my web application essentially be another application that just uses the API via OAuth. Users would authenticate on the website either directly using their username and password, or via a third party provider such as MyOpenID or Facebook and then the website would somehow use the returned token to authenticate against the REST API.
It basically looks like I need my API to somehow host an OAuth service, but also have users use a third party OAuth service. I can't help but think I don't quite have enough of a grasp on OAuth to decide if I'm overcomplicating things or if what I'm trying to do is a good or bad way to do things.
A user authenticates to your web site by supplying some credential such as a username+password. OpenID allows this to be displaced by having the user authenticate to another service, which then asserts the user's identity to your web site on the user's behalf. Your site trusts the third party service (the OpenID Provider) and therefore considers the user logged in.
Last year we released a follow-up to our 2018 Application Protection Report that focused on APIs. We highlighted two patterns of API use that were implicated in API breaches: 1) large platforms with numerous third-party integrations, and 2) mobile apps. Most of these attacks tended to follow the same form: access or injection attacks against the API authentication surface followed by exploitation of excessive permissions. In other words, APIs tend to be compromised in ways similar to breaches of other web applications, but because they are both increasingly important and hidden from view, they arguably represent a bigger risk to the business than other assets.2
If you'd like to provide your users with the ability to opt-out entirely from tracking, you can use an opt-out form. Matomo ships with anopt-out form implementation that uses third-party cookies (which you can configure within Matomo on the Matomo > Administration > Privacy page).
This form is simple to embed since it only requires that you add an iframe to your website, but it is not always ideal. Some users block third-partycookies so the opt-out form wouldn't work for them. You may also want to display custom text or graphics in the opt-out form, or you maywant to allow users to opt-out of your sites individually instead of altogether.
Many web hosting companies "automatically install open source blogging applications like Geeklog" "as part of their basic Web site packages."[12] As such, it is "one of the more popular choices for a Web-based Content Management System along with WordPress and Drupal."[13] Geeklog is available to many webmasters since it is included with the commercial web hosting software installers Fantastico,[14] Softaculous,[15] and Installatron[16] that are bundled with many web hosting plans, although installations of Geeklog via these third-party installers may have support issues.[17][18]
The issue of third-party scripts is not new, and for years security researchers have warned [34] website owners of the dangers of using them. At least, you are advised to apply validation mechanisms [35] before allowing external code to run on your website.
Drupal enables businesses to connect with their existing third-party tools with ease. There are tons of integration modules that can connect your Drupal website to all your favorite tools. We provide seam-less third-party integration services.
CookieYes enables you to block cookies automatically on your website until the users have given consent. CookieYes identifies most of the commonly used third-party service scripts used on a website and block their cookies from being set on the browser. 2ff7e9595c
