Start Garden setting out to grow Michigan ideas

With roots in Michigan, this blog is fond of the state. It's specifically fond of western Michigan. Accordingly, it has interest in the success of the Start Garden venture capital project in Grand Rapids. The enthusiasm comes not only from pride in the state, but because Michigan has been getting too much bad press concerning its economy lately. This venture is good not only because it's good news on the business front in Michigan, but hopefully because it will have an impact on the tech business front as well.

PHP built-in webserver and IPv6 addresses

Though it's difficult to confirm around the Web, it appears as though the IP address scheme the built-in PHP server uses depends on the host name that's provided. If a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is used, such as server.domain.tld, then the built-in server will be listening for IPv6 based requests. If the server is started with an IPv4 address identified as the host, then it will naturally listen for IPv4 based requests. The closest to anything official around the Web was a comment in the PHP docs that only seeded this conclusion, at best. But here it is in any case.

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ). From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.
