401 when my Oauth2 Client call my Oauth2 Resource Server

 A "401 Unauthorized" error when your OAuth2 client is calling your OAuth2 resource server in a Spring Security application typically indicates an authentication failure. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:


1. **Check Your Configuration:**

   Ensure that your Spring Security configuration for both the client and the resource server is correctly set up.


2. **Client Credentials:**

   Double-check that the OAuth2 client credentials (client ID and client secret) are correctly configured in the client application.


3. **Access Tokens:**

   Make sure that the OAuth2 client is obtaining a valid access token. The token should be included in the request to the resource server in the "Authorization" header.


4. **Resource Server Configuration:**

   Verify that your resource server is correctly configured to validate access tokens and authorize requests.


5. **Token Endpoint:**

   Check that the URL for the token endpoint is correct in your client's configuration.


6. **Token Format:**

   Ensure that the access token format (e.g., JWT, opaque token) matches the configuration in both the client and resource server.


7. **Scope Permissions:**

   Ensure that the client's scope permissions match what the resource server expects. If the client is requesting scopes that it doesn't have permission to access, it can result in a 401 error.


8. **Logging and Debugging:**

   Enable detailed logging in your Spring Security configuration to help you trace the issue. You can often find more information about what's going wrong in the logs.


9. **Token Validation:**

   Check that the resource server is correctly validating the access token, including verifying the token's signature (if applicable) and checking its expiration.


10. **Roles and Authorities:**

    Verify that the user associated with the access token has the necessary roles and authorities to access the protected resource.


11. **Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS):**

    If your client and resource server are running on different domains, ensure that CORS is configured correctly to allow requests from the client.


12. **Testing with Postman or Curl:**

    You can use tools like Postman or Curl to manually test your OAuth2 endpoints and see if you receive valid tokens and can access the resource.


13. **Error Response:**

    Inspect the response from the resource server when you receive the 401 error. It might include additional details about why the request is unauthorized.


If you're still facing issues after checking these points, please provide more specific details about your configuration, and any error messages or logs, so I can offer more targeted assistance.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
