Closed loop between Simulink and Autoware
Hello,
I am stuck in a problem for a while now, I have created a closed loop between Autoware and Simulink through ROS2. The idea is to analyse the controller node in Autoware. Thats why I am only launching the controller node Controller Node/Orthisnode. This node requires 4 inputs (Trajectory, current position, current acceleration, current steering angle) and one output (controller command). I am publishing these inputs from simulink and subscribing to the output also in simulink.
The controller in Autoware is publishing the output at 32Hz frequency. The problem I am facing is that, controller is not being able to follow the trajectory I am giving from simulink. My guess is the time synchronization problem between Autoware and Simulink. However, I have tried Simulation Pacing option, changed the sample rate of the topics in simulink, also change the fixed step size in Simulink and nothing has been worked.
I am attaching my simulink model and also the ros2 node files where I have changed the message type, hope you can reproduce the results. I thank in advance for any guidance.
Kind regards,

This past November, we announced the general availability of our Data Mapper, a tool for developers to perform data transformation tasks inside of Azure Logic Apps. Through customer engagements, we have gathered valuable feedback and are ready to share some enhancement plans to address this feedback. These updates streamline data mapping tasks, rendering your workflow more intuitive and efficient. Let’s explore the new features and discuss how these changes can improve your data mapping experience.
Please let us know what you think in the feedback section. Your feedback helps shape future updates.
Improvements
Create data map
Upload a new schema or select an existing one. The source schema, previously floating, now docks on the opposite side of the destination schema, enhancing visibility.
Map a property to another property
Use drag-and-drop to assign source properties to destinations.
Understand a property type
Hover over a property to discover its data type.
Add a function then map to properties
Function chaining
Address more complex requirements by chaining functions together. Collapse the functions together to save valuable real estate.
Rename functions and add notes
To reduce complexity, we now allow function renaming for clarity and the option to add notes. This prevents confusion and makes editing and reviewing more straightforward.
Reorder source properties
Add static values and reorder properties to refine output at destination
Expand/collapse hierarchy
Support for complex schemas includes starting with nested properties in a collapsed state and expand as required to access deeper properties.
Adjust width of side panel
Modify a side panel’s width to address scaling for deep schema trees.
Search within a schema
Search functionality to discover specific elements
Favorite function
Pin frequently used functions for quick access.
View underlying code
Open the YAML file in read-only mode to read the code that powers the mapping process.
Test map
Select an existing source payload matching your schema type and check whether the mapper yields desired output.
Understand if there has been an error
Easily detect and address errors during mapping
Conditional mapping and looping improvements to follow in next part soon.

Intune Enrollment Issues – Found a workaround but it doesn’t make sense
Hello,
I am curious if anybody else has this issue and knows a fix…
Basically, we had a bunch of these devices that were originally in Intune and working fine. These were Enrolled into Intune via Group Policy. (Note: All devices get automatically converted to Autopilot devices also).
These users eventually got terminated and the devices were removed from Active Directory. Later on, the business decided to re-use these devices. Some were reimaged via WDS, some were just re-added to the domain… long story short none of them will enroll into Intune.
When I looked at the enrollment errors, I got the following error message: This device attempted to enroll via a method not allowed from the device’s Autopilot profile.
I thought it was interesting because we are not even trying to enroll it via Autopilot or even using it in this case as the device was never reset.
I decided to delete a few of them from Autopilot just to see what would happen. Now I get a new error saying: This device can’t be enrolled as a personal device while the platform is Blocked under Device Type Restrictions.
Workaround:
I eventually figured out that if you add someone as an “Enrollment manager”, they can bypass this… so I had a tech sign into some of the devices and they enroll… They just need to switch the primary user back to the new user as it registers as themselves.
What I am confused about is why is it working this way? It wasn’t like this before. Should I allow Windows (MDM) personal devices to be enrolled? If so, how do I actually block true personal devices?
These devices are in AD & Entra and those are the only “Windows” devices we want to be allowed to enroll into Intune, unless they are actually enrolled via Autopilot (resetting) of course.
Also, using Autopilot does work and does enroll the devices without issues.
What I haven’t tested: Keeping the device in Autopilot and having an “Enrollment Manager” sign in

New Blog | Microsoft Entra Private Access for on-prem users
By Ashish Jain
The emergence of cloud technology and the hybrid work model, along with the rapidly increasing intensity and sophistication of cyber threats, are significantly reshaping the work landscape. As organizational boundaries become increasingly blurred, private applications and resources that were once secure for authenticated users are now vulnerable to intrusion from compromised systems and users. When users connect to a corporate network through a traditional virtual private network (VPN), they’re granted extensive access to the entire network, which potentially poses significant security risks. These challenges have introduced new demands that traditional network security approaches struggle to meet. Even Gartner predicts that by 2025, at least 70% of new remote access deployments will be served predominantly by ZTNA as opposed to VPN services, up from less than 10% at the end of 2021.
Microsoft Entra Private Access, part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (SSE) solution, securely connects users to any private resource and application, reducing the operational complexity and risk of legacy VPNs. It enhances the security posture of your organization by eliminating excessive access and preventing lateral movement. As traditional VPN enterprise protections continue to wane, Private Access improves a user’s ability to connect securely to private applications easily from any device and any network—whether they are working at home, remotely, or in their corporate office.
Enable secure access to private apps that use Domain Controller for authentication
With Private Access (Preview), you can now implement granular app segmentation and enforce multifactor authentication (MFA) on any on-premises resource authenticating to domain controller (DC) for on-premises users, across all devices and protocols without granting full network access. You can also protect your DCs from identity threats and prevent unauthorized access by simply enabling privileged access to the DCs by enforcing MFA and Privileged Identity Management (PIM).
To enhance your security posture and minimize the attack surface, it’s crucial to implement robust Conditional Access controls, such as MFA, across all private resources and applications including legacy or proprietary applications that may not support modern auth. By doing so, you can safeguard your DCs—the heart of your network infrastructure.
A closer look at the mechanics of Private Access for on-prem user scenario
Here’s how Private Access helps secure access to on-prem resources and applications and provides a seamless way for employees to access the on-premises resources when they’re locally accessing these resources, while ensuring the security of the company’s critical services. Imagine a scenario where an employee is working on-premises at their company’s headquarters. They need to access the company’s DCs to retrieve some important information for their project or make some changes. However, when they try to access the DC directly, they find that access is blocked. This is because the company has enabled privileged access, which restricts direct access to the DC for security reasons.
Instead of accessing the DC directly, the employee’s traffic is intercepted by the Global Secure Access Client and routed to the Microsoft Entra ID and Private Access Cloud for authentication. This ensures that only authorized users can access the DC and its resources.
When the employee attempts to access the private resources they need, they’re prompted to authenticate using MFA. This additional layer of security ensures that only legitimate users can gain entry to the DC. Private Access also extends MFA to all on-premises resources, even those that lack built-in MFA support. This means that even legacy applications can benefit from the added security of MFA. With Private Access, the company has also enabled granular app segmentation, which allows them to segment access to specific applications or resources within their on-premises environment. This means that the employee can only interact with the services they’re authorized to access, ensuring the security of critical services.
Despite these added security measures, the employee’s user experience remains seamless. Only authentication traffic leaves the corporate network, while application traffic remains local within the corporate network. This minimizes latency and ensures that the employee can access the information they need quickly and efficiently.

These challenges have introduced new demands that traditional network security approaches struggle to meet. Even Gartner predicts that by 2025, at least 70% of new remote access deployments will be served predominantly by ZTNA as opposed to VPN services, up from less than 10% at the end of 2021.
Microsoft Entra Private Access, part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (SSE) solution, securely connects users to any private resource and application, reducing the operational complexity and risk of legacy VPNs. It enhances the security posture of your organization by eliminating excessive access and preventing lateral movement. As traditional VPN enterprise protections continue to wane, Private Access improves a user’s ability to connect securely to private applications easily from any device and any network—whether they are working at home, remotely, or in their corporate office.
Enable secure access to private apps that use Domain Controller for authentication
With Private Access (Preview), you can now implement granular app segmentation and enforce multifactor authentication (MFA) on any on-premises resource authenticating to domain controller (DC) for on-premises users, across all devices and protocols without granting full network access. You can also protect your DCs from identity threats and prevent unauthorized access by simply enabling privileged access to the DCs by enforcing MFA and Privileged Identity Management (PIM).
To enhance your security posture and minimize the attack surface, it’s crucial to implement robust Conditional Access controls, such as MFA, across all private resources and applications including legacy or proprietary applications that may not support modern auth. By doing so, you can safeguard your DCs—the heart of your network infrastructure.
A closer look at the mechanics of Private Access for on-prem user scenario
Here’s how Private Access helps secure access to on-prem resources and applications and provides a seamless way for employees to access the on-premises resources when they’re locally accessing these resources, while ensuring the security of the company’s critical services. Imagine a scenario where an employee is working on-premises at their company’s headquarters. They need to access the company’s DCs to retrieve some important information for their project or make some changes. However, when they try to access the DC directly, they find that access is blocked. This is because the company has enabled privileged access, which restricts direct access to the DC for security reasons.
Instead of accessing the DC directly, the employee’s traffic is intercepted by the Global Secure Access Client and routed to the Microsoft Entra ID and Private Access Cloud for authentication. This ensures that only authorized users can access the DC and its resources.
When the employee attempts to access the private resources they need, they’re prompted to authenticate using MFA. This additional layer of security ensures that only legitimate users can gain entry to the DC. Private Access also extends MFA to all on-premises resources, even those that lack built-in MFA support. This means that even legacy applications can benefit from the added security of MFA. With Private Access, the company has also enabled granular app segmentation, which allows them to segment access to specific applications or resources within their on-premises environment. This means that the employee can only interact with the services they’re authorized to access, ensuring the security of critical services.
Despite these added security measures, the employee’s user experience remains seamless. Only authentication traffic leaves the corporate network, while application traffic remains local within the corporate network. This minimizes latency and ensures that the employee can access the information they need quickly and efficiently.

Detection of storms from precipitation data
I have 5 min intervals of precipitation data that I am trying to sum into separate storm events.
6 hours of no precipitation (or 72 zero values) signify the end of the storm event.
I’m trying to create a code that
a) Give me the array of matrices (diifferent names e.g M1,M2 etc) of the storm events which lies between 6 hours of no precipitaion.
b) Sums the precip values until the 6 hours of no rainfall and then starts summing the following storm event. The output will be an array with individual storm event depths of the time series.
