How do you show you’re ready for a real story?

Be calm. Be kind. Be yourself.

Online dating may have led to an increase in casual dating and hook-up culture.

But people looking to meet singles on Match have chosen our service because they’re ready to start a real story. So how do you make sure someone you meet online understands you’re serious, and how do you establish those expectations?

The secret isn’t really a secret, and it’s something you’ve almost certainly been told before. The key is to be yourself, be kind and be calm. And it all starts with writing your profile.

Discover mature dating on Match and browse senior singles on our website.

Think about the sort of person you would like to share a long-term relationship with.

Looks matter, for sure. But the chances are you would choose someone who is genuine, considerate, interested in you and who makes you laugh. There’s nothing wrong with that: it’s the most human thing of all: we want to be with people who make us happy.

When you write your online dating profile, make sure you’re the sort of person you would want to be with. Try to resist the temptation to talk just about yourself: make it clear you’re interested in other people too. What would you like to do together with your date? What do you enjoy in people? Show that you are someone who is great company, not just someone who expects people want to be with them.

When you’re talking to your date, either online or, eventually, in real life, don’t be afraid to listen more than you talk.

Be interested in what your date is telling you about themselves. Ask questions, smile and laugh. Focus on the interests and experiences you share, and don’t get hung up on the negatives. Because if you seem like someone who people want to be with, they’ll want to be with you.

Language matters when you’re online dating!

Words of love and everyday life

Don’t be afraid of words! All the new casual dating sites that have appeared recently have transformed the game of seduction into something like a video game.

The result? Many singles have given up dating altogether as it is just too exhausting! However, many singles are looking for serious, deeper and more authentic encounters and a long-term relationship.

The key to this new demand for authenticity is through words. Yes, even in the instant world of online dating, words are what really count.

Let’s start with the words you use to describe yourself. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but our singles consistently tell us that a profile description matters more to them than a photo***.

It’s important, especially on a serious dating site, that you take the time to make your written presentation as good as it can be, and reveal your true self honestly and carefully.

And words can break the ice! It can be hard to introduce yourself to a single you find interesting; it is always difficult to find the right way to approach them and find THE message that will attract their attention. Anyone can write ‘hello’, but is it going to make you stand out from the crowd during your encounters? In dating first impressions count, and the first words you exchange online can make all the difference.

Finally, words say a lot during a first date in real life.

Looks really aren’t everything, and when you’re finally face-to-face in front of a person, you can’t hide behind your screen any more! But rest assured, people generally prefer good humour to good looks on a first date, and they want someone with whom they can share an interesting conversation. The most important thing is to be yourself and stay as natural as possible.

Mapping Requests to Clients in a Multi-Tenant Solution - Azure Architecture Center

Each time a request enters an application, you must determine the client that the request is for. If you have client-specific infrastructure, which may even be hosted in different geographies, you need to map the incoming request to the client. You then need to forward the request to the physical infrastructure that hosts this tenant's resources, as shown below.

On this page, we provide guidance to technical decision makers about approaches that can be considered to match requests with the appropriate client and trade-offs associated with approaches.

Note

This page mainly deals with HTTP-based applications such as websites and APIs. However, many of these same basic principles apply to multi-tenant applications using other communication protocols.

Client identification approaches

There are several ways to identify a client for an incoming request.

Domain names

If you are using domain or subdomain names for a particular client, chances are requests can be easily mapped to clients using the Host header or another HTTP header that includes the original host name for each request.

However, consider the following questions:

  • How will users know which domain name to use to access the service?
  • Do you have a central entry point, such as a landing page or login page, that all clients use? If you do, how will users determine which client they need access to?
  • What other information is used to verify client access, such as authorization tokens? Do auth tokens include tenant-specific domain names?

HTTP Request Properties

If you are not using client-specific domain names, you may still be able to use HTTP request aspects to determine which client a particular request is for. For example, consider an HTTP request specifying a client name as tailwind traders . This can be reported as follows:

  • URL path structure , for example https://app.contoso.com/tailwindtraders/ .
  • Query string in the URL, such as https://contoso. com/app?tenant=tailwindtraders .
  • Custom HTTP request header , for example X-Tenant-Id: tailwindtraders .

Important!

Custom HTTP request headers are not useful when HTTP GET requests are issued from a web browser or where requests are handled by some type of web proxy. Custom HTTP headers should only be used for GET operations when creating an API, or if you control the client that issues the request and the web proxy is not included in the request processing chain.

The following questions should be considered when using this approach:

  • Will users know how to access the service? For example, if a query string is used to identify clients, will the central landing page need to direct users to the correct client by adding the query string?
  • Do you have a central entry point, such as a landing page or login page, that all clients use? If you do, how will users determine which client they need access to?
  • Does your application provide an API? For example, is the web application a single page application (SPA) or a mobile application with an API backend? Otherwise, you can use an API gateway or reverse proxy to match clients.

Token claims

Many applications use claims-based authentication and authorization protocols such as OAuth 2.0 or SAML. These protocols provide authorization tokens to the client. The marker contains a set of claims that are part of the client application or user details. Claims can be used to pass information such as the user's email address. The system can then include the user's email address, find a mapping between users and the client, and then forward the request to the appropriate deployment. Alternatively, you can even include client mapping in the identity system and add a client ID claim to the token.

When using claims to match requests with clients, consider the following questions:

  • Will a claim be used to identify a client? Which statement will you use?
  • Can a user be a member of multiple clients? If possible, how will users choose the clients they would like to work with?
  • Is there a centralized authentication and authorization system for all clients? If not, how do you ensure that all token centers issue consistent tokens and claims?

API keys

Many applications provide an API. This can be for internal use within an organization or for external use by partners or customers. A common way to authenticate to an API is to use the API key . API keys are provided with each request and can be used to find a client.

API keys can be generated in several ways. A common approach is to create a cryptographically random value and store it in a lookup table along with the client ID. When a request is received, the system looks up the API key in the lookup table and then matches it with the client ID. Another approach is to create a friendly string with the client ID included in it and then digitally sign the key using an approach such as HMAC. As each request is processed, the signature must be verified and then the client ID retrieved.

Note

API keys are not highly secure because they must be manually created and managed, and because they do not contain claims. A more modern and secure approach is to use a claims-based authorization mechanism with short tokens such as OAuth 2. 0 or OpenID Connect.

Answer the following questions.

  • How do I generate and issue API keys?
  • How will API clients securely obtain and store an API key?
  • Do API keys need to expire after a certain period of time? How to change client API keys without downtime?
  • Does simply using customer-deployed API keys provide an adequate level of security for the API?

Note

API keys do not match passwords. API keys must be generated by the system and must be unique across all clients so that each API key can be uniquely associated with a single client. API gateways such as Azure API Management can create and manage API keys, validate keys on incoming requests, and map keys to individual API subscribers.

Client certificates

Client certificate authentication, sometimes referred to as mutual tls (mTLS), is commonly used for communication between services. Client certificates provide a secure way to authenticate clients. Like tokens and claims, client certificates provide attributes that can be used to identify a client. For example, subject of the certificate may contain the user's email address, which can be used to locate the client.

Consider the following when planning to use client certificates for client mapping:

  • How do you securely issue and renew client certificates that are trusted by your service? Client certificates can be tricky to work with because they require a special infrastructure to manage and issue certificates.
  • Will client certificates be used only for initial login requests, or will they be attached to all requests to the service?
  • Will the process of issuing and managing certificates become unmanageable if you have a large number of clients?
  • How do I implement a mapping between a client certificate and a client?

Reverse proxies

A reverse proxy, also known as an application proxy, can be used to route HTTP requests. A reverse proxy server receives a request from an incoming traffic endpoint and can forward the request to one of many internal endpoints. Reverse proxies are useful for multi-tenant applications because they can perform a mapping between some part of the request details, offloading the task from the application infrastructure.

Many reverse proxies can use request properties to make decisions about client routing. They can check the final domain name, URL path, query string, HTTP headers, and even token claims.

Azure uses the following common reverse proxies:

  • Azure Front Door is a global load balancer and web application firewall. It uses the Microsoft edge global network to build fast, secure, and highly scalable web applications.
  • Azure Application Gateway is a managed web traffic load balancer that is deployed in the same physical region as the backend service.
  • Azure API Management is optimized for API traffic.
  • Commercial and open source technologies (that you self-host) include nginx, Traefik, and HAProxy.

Checking requests

It is important to make sure that your application checks that all received requests are allowed for the client. For example, if an application uses a custom domain name to match requests to a client, the application must still check that every request received by the application is allowed for that client. Even though the request contains a domain name or other client identifier, it does not mean that you should automatically grant access. When using OAuth 2.0, validation is done by validating claims room and area .

Note

This is part of the zero trust security design principle in the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework. Consider the following when implementing request validation:

  • How do I authorize all requests to an application? Requests must be authorized no matter what approach you use to map them to the physical infrastructure.
  • Use trusted and widely used authentication and authorization frameworks and middleware instead of implementing all the validation logic yourself. For example, don't write token signature verification logic or a client certificate encryption library. Instead, use application platform features (or well-known trusted packages) that have been tried and tested.

Performance

The client mapping logic is most likely executed on every request to the application. Consider how well the client matching process will scale as the solution grows. For example, if you query a database table as part of a client mapping, will the database support a large amount of load? If client matching requires token decryption, will the computational requirements become too high over time? If your traffic is rather modest, then this is unlikely to affect the overall performance. However, if you have a scalable application, the cost associated with this mapping can become significant.

Session affinity

One approach to reduce the performance cost of the client mapping logic is to use session affinity . Instead of matching on every request, consider computing information only on the first request for each session. The application then provides client with session cookie . The client passes the session cookie back to the service with all subsequent client requests within that session.

Note

Many network and application services in Azure can issue session cookies and routing requests in native code using session affinity.

Answer the following questions.

  • Can session affinity be used to reduce the cost of matching requests to clients?
  • What services are used to route requests to physical deployments on a per-tenant basis? Do these services support cookie-based session affinity?

Client Migration

Clients often need to be moved to a new infrastructure as part of the client lifecycle. When a client moves to a new deployment, the HTTP endpoints they access may change. In this case, you need to update the client matching process. You may need to consider the following:

  • If your application uses domain names for mapping requests, you may also need to change the DNS during migration. The DNS change may take time to propagate to clients, depending on the lifetime of the DNS records in the DNS service.
  • If the migration changes the addresses of any endpoints during the migration, consider temporarily redirecting client requests to a maintenance page that updates automatically.

Creating a Login - SQL Server

  • Article
  • Reading takes 10 minutes

Applies to: SQL Server (all supported versions) Azure SQL database SQL Managed Instance Azure Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

This article describes how to create a login in SQL Server Database or Azure SQL Database using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or Transact-SQL. The login is the identity of the user or process connecting to the instance of SQL Server.

History

A login is a security principal that a security system can use to authenticate a person or entity. Users require a login to connect to SQL Server. You can create a login based on a Windows subject (for example, a Windows domain user or group), or you can create a login that is not based on a Windows subject (for example, a SQL Server login).

Note

To use SQL Server authentication, the database engine must use mixed mode authentication. For more information, see Selecting an Authentication Mode.

Azure SQL introduced Azure Active Directory Server Principals (logins) to be used for authentication against Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics (dedicated SQL pools only).

As security principals, permissions can be granted to logins. The login area is the entire database engine. To connect to a specific database on an instance of SQL Server, the login must be mapped to a database user. Permissions within a database are granted and denied to the database user, not the login. Permissions that are scoped to the entire instance of SQL Server (for example, permission CREATE ENDPOINT ) can be provided to the login.

Note

When a login connects to SQL Server, the identity is checked against the master database. Use contained database users to authenticate SQL Server and SQL Database connections at the database level. When using contained database users, a login is not required. A stand-alone database is a database that is isolated from other databases and from the instance of SQL Server or SQL Database (and the master database) that hosts the database. SQL Server supports contained database users for Windows and SQL Server authentication. When using SQL Database, combine contained database users with database-level firewall rules. For more information, see Contained Database Users - Create a Portable Database.

Security

SQL Server requires permission ALTER ANY LOGIN or ALTER LOGIN on the server.

SQL Database requires membership in role loginmanager .

Create a login using SSMS for SQL Server

  1. In Object Explorer, expand the folder of the server instance where you want to create the login.

  2. Right-click the folder Security and select Create and then Login. .. .

  3. In the Login - Create dialog box, on page General , enter the username in the Login field. In addition, select "Search", to open the dialog box "Select user" or "Group ".

    If you select "Search... ":

    1. In section "Selecting this object type 9 Select Object Types to open the Object Types dialog and select any or all of the following: Built-in security principals , Groups and Users . Built-in security principals and Users are selected by default When done select OK .

    2. Under "From this location " select "Locations" to open the Locations dialog box and select one of the available server locations. When done, select OK .

    3. In the dialog box Enter the object names to select (examples) enter the user or group name you want to find. For more information, see Select Users, Computers, or Groups Dialog Box.

    4. Select Advanced, for more search options. For more information, see Select Users, Computers, or Groups Dialog Box - Advanced Page.

    5. Click OK .

  4. To create a Windows principal-based login, select the Windows Authentication option. This option is selected by default.

  5. To create a login stored in a SQL Server database, select SQL Server Authentication .

    1. In the Password field, enter the password for the new user. Re-enter the password in field Password confirmation .

    2. If you are changing an existing password, select Enter old password and enter the old password in the Old password field.

    3. To ensure that passwords are used in accordance with password policies, select the option Require password policy . For more information, see Password Policy. This is the default value when you select option SQL Server 9 Authentication0041 .

    4. To ensure that passwords are used in accordance with password expiration policies, select the option Set password expiration to . The option Require password policy must be selected for this check box to be available. This is the default value when you select the SQL Server Authentication option.

    5. To allow the user to create a new password at the first login, select option User must change password at next login . For this checkbox to be available, the option Enforce password expiration must be selected. This is the default value when you select the SQL Server Authentication option.

  6. To associate a login with an isolated security certificate, select Mapped to certificate, and then select the name of an existing certificate from the list.

  7. To map a login to an isolated asymmetric key, select Mapped to asymmetric key, and then select an existing key name from the list.

  8. To associate a login with a security credential, select the Mapped Credentials check box, and then select an existing credential from the list, or click the Add button to create a new credential. To remove the security credential mapping from a login, select credentials from mapped credential and click "Remove " button. For more information about credentials in general, see Credentials (Database Engine).

  9. In the Default database list, select the default database for the desired login. By default, this parameter is set to Master .

  10. In the Default Language list, select the default language for login.

  11. Click OK .

Advanced Options

The Login - Create dialog box also offers options on four additional pages: Server Roles , User Maps , Securable Objects and State .
