Most Internet servers sit behind firewalls and use detection scripts to send alerts when break?ins are attempted. Some system administrators even run software to detect portscanners and denial?of?service attempts. However, many system administrators still overlook security problems in CGI scripts and web applications.

The rapid advent of “Web 2.0” applications has unleashed new HTTP traffic patterns which differ from the conventional HTTP request-response model. In particular, asynchronous pre-fetching of data in order to provide a smooth web browsing experience and richer HTTP payloads (e.g., Javascript libraries) of Web 2.0 applications induce larger, heavier, and more bursty traffic on the underlying networks. We present a traffic study of Web 2.0 applications including Google Maps, modern Web-email, and social networking Web sites, and compare them with all HTTP traffic. We highlight the key differences of Web 2.0 traffic from traditional HTTP traffic through statistical analysis. As such our work elucidates the changing face of one of the most popular application on the Internet: The World Wide Web.

In this tutorial, we will assume that our organization has a single LDAP directory containing some information about our
users, while a MySQL database is used to contain further information about users that is accessible via a web
interface. For now, we will simply work toward providing a means for LDAP-ready applications to access data within
the MySQL database used by our web application. This is easily achieved using VDS.

Assumptions
1. VDS is installed and configured properly; VDS is currently running.
2. An LDAP directory such as Active Directory is already installed and accessible from the computer on which VDS is installed.
3. A MySQL database server is already installed and accessible from the computer on which VDS is installed.
4. A MySQL database called “test” has been created, and contains a table called “users” with a schema that contains the following items:
`uid` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`Title` varchar(255) default ”,
`FirstName` varchar(255) default ”,
`LastName` varchar(255) default ”,
`Company` varchar(255) default ”,
`EmailDisplayName` varchar(255) default ”,
`EmailAddress` varchar(255) default ”
5. The MySQL table called “users” is populated with at least one entry.
6. The LDAP directory is accessible on port 389 (default ldap port) and the MySQL server is accessible on port 3306 (default mysql port).
7. Port 3890 is available on the computer in which VDS is installed.
