Check the file /etc/pam.d/sshd and /etc/pam.d/login.
Adjust the entry auth required pam_tally2.so deny=5 onerr=fail, as needed.
Modify deny= to the number of allowed failed attempts.
Refer to Mos Note 1269133.1 for details.

Windows 2008 R2, Internet Information Services: Changing security settings to change a folder's content by using PHP

Hello,
I would like to ask if somebody's there who could help me:
I am a PHP developer from Stuttgart, Germany.
In my PHP web application I want to edit text files by using PHP code.
These files are created once (by me), so they exist before the PHP application is used by any web user.
My PHP code reads out some text files and other text files' contents are changed.
In my developer's environment (Windows XP, XAMPP) it works fine.
So I'm sure my code is OK.
But the productive system ist a windows server system (Windows 2008 R2 and Internet Information Services).
And here it doesn't work! The text files' contents aren't changed.
I know on windows based webserver systems I have to change the folders security settings
(what I mean: the folders where the text files are placed). I must give the IIS system user (in the past it's name was IUSR..., now it is named otherwise) additional rights, so that it can change folders content.
I did. But it doesn't work.
Some years ago when we used Windows Server 2003 that was the solution that worked.
Giving the IUSR right to change folders content. That was it.
But what is new in Windows Server 2008 that it doesn't work?
I think it must be very complicated. Could somebody help me?
Thanks
Tommy

Changed security settings resulted in amber light

Just changed security settings on my AirPort Extreme from WEP to WPA2 because I didn't need to use weak security anymore as my old notebook (not supporting WPA) recently retired.
No problem joining wireless network with my MacBook Pro, but my AirPort Express plugged to my audio system in living room starter blinking amber.
Nothing works - did reset, tried to find it from both, my desktop wired to AP Extreme and from MacBook in living room. None wants to see AP Express anymore, not setup assistant and not admin utility.
Desperately need some good ideas.

Had to do hard reset and finally it started to be seen and I was able to set it up again.
But later when restarting my MacBook Pro another problem - MBP doesn't want to automatically join the preferred network like it used to. I need to turn build-in airport off, turn it on and manually join network.
This drives me nuts for pas hour and nothing works. Need ideas, please.

How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network. Step by step would be nice
I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
Will the change in security settings affect my print server? If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news. May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my network and none were available. Does that matter?
The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
Thanks,for any help

Hi…
In order to change the wireless settings of your router you need to login into the router configuration page. Open your internet explorer browser…in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 ( Default IP address). Leave the username field balnk……type admin as password (If you have not changed the router password). When the setup page loads fully…..click on the tab that says wireless. Just below the main tab wireless ….click on the sub tab that says wireless security. You can Change the wireless security settings here. After the changes are made click on save settings.

Changed Security settings, now cannot connect

Hi,
I was trying to increase my security settings on my WRT54G v. 8 and somehow have messed up my connection. I updated the MAC settings so that only my computer has access, and I tried to change my WEP from 64 to 128 bit. I now realize I should just change it to WPA, since it is much more secure. Now my wireless is not working, saying limited or no connectivity because it couldn't assign a network address, I believe (It looks like I don't have an IP address??). When I use my wired internet and type in the default wireless IP address, it says that the connection is not valid or some such thing (sorry, I am not on my home computer now) and I cannot get in to change the settings again. Do I need to reset the router and reset all my settings? How can I reconcile new security settings with my computer? Thanks!

To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" or the "Security" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default wireless settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
If you have trouble connecting, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should reconnect automatically (it can take up to two minutes). If you still have trouble, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. The patch is located in SP3, so you will need SP3 to run WPA2 in Win XP. Vista already supports WPA2.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

Portfolio extractions to file change security settings, why?

When I extract a file from a pdf portfolio with no security settings, acrobat X version 10.1.7, changes some of the security to not allowed on its own. This is a form that has some signature fields for approvals. Acrobat will not allow me to add pages to the file because some of the tools become disabled. Is there a secret fix?

You have disable/remove/destroy the signatures. This is one of thereason for signature with the signature you can do anything other than the permission given by signator.
If can/could do this. You should then get all the people to resign the document.

Macbook locked. Cannot change security settings

I have a macbook that is password locked (we can't remember the password) and the security setup will not let me create an admin account to change users and / or settings. How can I rebuild the computer to eliminate the user and change the security settings? I can get to settings as long as I don't shut down the computer, but I can't change anything without a password. So far I have been leaving in sleep mode which does not require me to enter the password.

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.
can I boot from dvd and rebuild the computer?
I don't see how, since you stated you do not have them.

My Apple account was hacked. Can't change security settings!

I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed. I change it and a few minutes later it changes again. I can't change my security settings because I don't know the answers to the security questions and the support hotline refuses to help because my laptop is over 90 days old.

Same file - changed security settings

I have created a pdf from word2010. If I view security settings in Reader 9 it says Commenting: Not allowed. If I open the same file on another machine but using Reader X (v 10.1.2) is it says Commenting: Allowed. Any ideas why?

Adobe Reader X can add comments, Adobe Reader 9 not.

How do I change security settings on items in Startup items folder in Library

I just installed pro tools TEN on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 -When I log in I get a pop up message that says items in the startup items folder in library won't open because of incorrect security settings. Now it has given me separate pop up windows saying that those items have been disabled.
So my question is: How do I "Fix" the security settings on the startup items folder so that these items are not disabled. I don't need them to automatically open every time I log in, but they are obviously part of Pro Tools, and I need them so that Pro Tools performance is not affected. The items are:
DigiDesign Loader
Pace Support
How do I Fix it so that they are not disabled, but that they only open when they need to open, and don't affect pro tools performance?
Thanks for the help,
Tristan

It could be that it Reader-enabled. Try: File > Save a Copy
If that's not it, post exactly what it shows for: File > Properties > Security > File Restrictions Summary
