About Bas Lijten
I am Bas Lijten, a software architect, public speaker, Sitecore MVP, husband, and dad. This blog is where I share practical lessons from building, deploying, securing, and operating software over many years. The writing is based on experiments, production work, conference talks, and problems that are worth documenting for the next person who meets them.
The main topics are Sitecore and XM Cloud, Azure, .NET, SharePoint, reverse proxies, DevOps, monitoring, identity, authentication, and web security. Articles often include configuration examples, deployment notes, debugging steps, and the trade-offs behind an implementation. Older articles describe earlier versions of the platforms, so check the publication date and compare version-sensitive details with current vendor documentation before using them in a production system.
The site is an independent personal publication. It is intended to make technical knowledge easier to find and reuse, while keeping the context and limitations of each experience visible.
