2007/02/27 Market Notes
Well that was an interesting day. The Dow bottomed out around 537 and rebounded up to
being down 400 for the day. The one point I wanted to remind myself of was that the Dow
futures were noticeably down in early morning trading, before the bell. Even before
that, there were notes about early morning Chinese sell-offs happening. It is said that
during yesterday's trading, "China's Shanghai Composite reversed early losses to end at a
record in its first day after Lunar New Year celebrations".
Today's "declines came on concerns that the government may introduce additional
macro-economic tightening measures to cool speculative activity".
It has been noted that this day approached the one day loss of
September 17, 2001.
The market psychologists would probably suggest a rebound slightly for tomorrow as the
professionals buy back. I can't put a date on it, but a the beginning of last year, oils
caused a big dip, but the original market highs were re-attained within a week or so.
Come to think of it, it may have been the year before where we had a dip and a rebound.
It is interesting to note that John Mauldin's Weekly E-Letter on Saturday talked about
the 51.9% Recession based upon an inverted yield curve.
So, we have a toss up, are the pro's going to buy back in, or is retail going to bring
it down more for the next couple of days.

NTLM Passthrough Authentication
Most, well, all of my client sites have Active Directory based networks. To
facilitate authentication and authorization to various pages of a web-site, it makes it
easier on admin staff to assign users to groups in Active Directory, and then use NTLM
Pass-through Authentication from Internet Explorer based web browsers to gain access to
selected pages.
In performing research on this subject, I came across how to make Squid perform NTLM Pass-Through Authentication and act as a replacement Microsoft
ISA server.
But back to Apache based NTLM Pass through authentication, I came across something that is
supposed to work with Drupal. The source file doesn't offer up easy to use information.
Moving along, there is a circa 2000 NTLM auth module for Apache/Unix.
I think the Apache-AuthenNTLM Perl Module is probably the best solution, well the
best I've encountered so far. That is
the one I'm going to try. There are a couple of supporting documents: Modperl Mailing List Entry and a SourceForge Discussion Group entry.
The unknown is how to integrate group authorization. It looks like the only way to
get appropriate information is through basic authentication so I can use those
credentials to gain secondary access to AD group composition via a previously described
LDAP module. That should allow me to gain automatic access to username and password.
