GCP IAP Proxy

A proxy is a service that allows access to websites blocked in different countries, while hiding your own IP address. It is a kind of intermediary between the end server and the owner's computer. A VPN provides an encrypted connection to the network, which not only allows you to keep your privacy, hide your IP address, encrypt Internet traffic, but also bypasses firewalls.

A proxy in data centers is usually a separate server that processes incoming requests and then distributes them to the submitted addresses (or IP). Also through the proxy it is possible to allocate a specific user a separate IP address for connection (for example, if he needs a virtual server).

Parsing PDF files in C++ can be a complex task due to the intricacies of the PDF format. However, you can use third-party libraries to simplify the process. One popular library for PDF parsing in C++ is "Poppler."

Here are the basic steps to parse PDF files using the Poppler library:

1. Install Poppler:

   • On Linux: You can typically install Poppler using the package manager for your distribution (e.g., apt-get install poppler-utils on Ubuntu).
   • On Windows: You can download the Poppler binaries from the official Poppler release page or use package managers like MSYS2 or vcpkg.

2. Use Poppler in C++:

   • Here's a simple example using Poppler in C++ to extract text from a PDF file:

#include 
#include 

int main() {
    // Replace "your_file.pdf" with the path to your PDF file
    QString pdfFilePath = "your_file.pdf";

    // Open the PDF file
    Poppler::Document* document = Poppler::Document::load(pdfFilePath);

    if (document) {
        // Iterate through pages
        for (int i = 0; i < document->numPages(); ++i) {
            Poppler::Page* pdfPage = document->page(i);

            // Extract text from the page
            QString text = pdfPage->text();
            std::cout << text.toStdString() << std::endl;

            delete pdfPage;
        }

        delete document;
    } else {
        std::cerr << "Failed to open the PDF file." << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Build and Link:

• Make sure to link your C++ program with the Poppler library. For example, using g++ on Linux:

g++ your_program.cpp -o your_program -lpoppler-qt5

4. Run the Program:

   • Execute your compiled program and provide the path to the PDF file as a command-line argument.

Keep in mind that this is a simple example, and Poppler provides more functionalities for extracting various information from PDF files. You might need to adapt the code based on your specific requirements.

If you are having trouble adding a SonarQube server authentication token to Jenkins, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Verify SonarQube server URL and credentials: Ensure that you have the correct SonarQube server URL and credentials (username and password) for the authentication token. Double-check for any typos or errors in the information.

2. Generate a new authentication token: If you have already used the current authentication token or it has expired, generate a new one from the SonarQube server. To do this, log in to the SonarQube server, navigate to "Administration" > "Security" > "General Settings," and click the "Generate" button next to the "Authentication token" field. Copy the new token.

3. Update Jenkins with the new authentication token: In the Jenkins "Manage Jenkins" section, click on "Configure System." Scroll down to the "SonarQube Servers" section and select the SonarQube server you want to configure. Enter the updated SonarQube server URL, username, and the new authentication token in the respective fields. Save the changes.

4. Verify Jenkins plugin version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the SonarQube Scanner plugin for Jenkins. Outdated plugins might not be compatible with the latest SonarQube server version. To update the plugin, go to "Manage Jenkins" > "Manage Plugins," find the SonarQube Scanner plugin, and click "Update."

5. Check Jenkins job configuration: Verify that your Jenkins job is configured to use the SonarQube server you just updated. In the job configuration, under the "Build" section, ensure that the "Analyze source code with SonarQube" checkbox is selected and the correct SonarQube server is selected from the dropdown menu.

6. Test the connection: Run a test Jenkins job to see if the connection to the SonarQube server is successful. If the job fails, check the console output for any error messages related to the SonarQube server or authentication token.

If you continue to face issues, consult the Jenkins and SonarQube documentation, or reach out to their support communities for further assistance.

Select the "Proxy" tab in the "Network" window, then click on Win+C and find the "Settings" item. In the window that opens, stop at "Change computer settings" and go to "Network". Select the "Proxy" line here and disable the proxy functionality.
