Welcome
to the 3rd edition of the monthly Dataworks newsletter
The
Dataworks newsletter needs no further introduction. It's quickly
becoming both a great communication bridge with our clients
and a valuable source of information for people involved in
IT with our 'Leading Edge' technology news. So
without further ado, we'll get straight to the point.
Waterford
Regional Hospital, the ESB headquarters and Waterford Technologies
have joined our ever-growing list of clients this month calling
on our expertise for various software & web-based developments.
A number of projects for existing clients are also underway
this month.

Dataworks
to develop further applications for Garrett Engine Boosting
Systems
After in-depth analysis of Garrett's existing processes
& systems using UML, a Windows-based application was developed
in VB.NET. The multi-tier application allows greater visibility
to the scheduler, thus improving and streamlining the process.
Following on the success of the first application, Garrett
Engine Boosting Systems has commissioned Dataworks to develop
further workflow improving applications. The second application
being developed at the moment (the 'End of month stock update
application' ) works in conjunction with SAP, using data downloaded
from its database

Phyllis Mullen of John Rohan auctioneers. Work has just
started on the visual revamp and the addition of a host
of new features which will make this site one of the most

ASP.NET
Security
ASP.NET has been built with security in mind. ASP.NET leverages
Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) to provide strong
support for common HTTP authentication schemes including support
Kerberos, and SSL certificates.ASP.NET also supports Microsoft Passport
authentication. Regardless of which authentication scheme is employed,
developers get a consistent programming and authorization model.
ASP.NET supports traditional methods of performing access control
and also provides URL authorization, which allows administrators
to provide XML configuration that allows or denies access to URLs
based on the current user or role. Developers can code explicit
authorization checks easily into their application or can take advantage
of the common language runtime's support for declarative security
to include control access to methods based on the calling user or
role.ASP.NET has an extensible security architecture that allows
the developer to write custom authentication or authorization providers.

"…when
we face a choice between adding features and resolving security
issues, we need to choose security. Our products should emphasize
security right out of the box, and we must constantly refine
and improve that security as threats evolve." Bill Gates
