KM Document iView and User Permissions

Hi all,
I have created a KM Document iView to display a document (stored within KM) to my users. However, it is happening something I believe is not correct.
When I set only READ permission for this folder, the KM Document iView is not able to display the document for my users. On the other hand, when I change the permission to, at least, READ/WRITE, the iView works fine.
Is it really the behaviour of that iView? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Fernando Urzedo

Fernando,
Read permissions should allow users to see the content. Please check this link on Assigning Permissions to Folders.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/d349d2e488964da38a661fa722e7a9/content.htm
Check if the eu role has read permissions.
Also check this link for information on permissions iview.

Field editable in FB02 for only one document type and user

Hi:
I have a question about editing a field and I hope you can help me. I need to make a field editable in FB02, but only for one document type and two users. The field is BSEG-ZFBDT, Baseline payment dte.
I have tried in ‘Document Change Rules’, make this field editable when line item not cleared, but it works for all document types and users.
Please, any idea?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best regards.

Hi,
You have to write a ABAP code to achieve this.
Validation is another Option where you can mention that value is allowed in the Baseline Date field only if the User and Document type value satisfies.

Internet Explorer 11 - Emulation Document Mode and User Agent String Drop Down Menu Blank

Hey
I have a user who has a problem with Internet Explorer 11 where when you go to emulation mode using F12, the Document Mode and User Agent String Drop Down Menu are both blank. On our internal website its works correctly but on all other external websites
they are both blank.
I have had a look at the link below but this did not help as it would not recreate some of the registry keys.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-iewindows8_1/document-mode-and-user-agent-string-dropdowns/cd34d5f8-7839-4083-af55-05d49ba85190?rtAction=1387560713451

Hi,
Please include links to any websites that you are having issues with your questions.
There are some known reasons why the documentMode dropdown appears blank...
not all websites though should have the conditions for this.
f12>Console tab, refresh the page to show suppressed error messages and warnings... (documentMode x-ua toggling is listed)...
IE11 includes improvements for XSS... to link to internet sites from your intranets you need to add those sites (If you really, really trust them) to the Trusted Sites list.
the developer console will list blocked xss requests.
by default IE11 runs in EPM.... in the Internet Zone, while it is not switched on for the intranet zone....
EPM only allows 64 bit Addons and ActiveX controls to run in the context of an IE tab...
so its highly likely that one of your Addons is causing the issue.
the first step in troubleshooting IE issues is to test in noAddons mode.

Disk utility's encrypted drives and user permissions

I've decided against using filevault based on some of the feedback and research I have conducted. I am still interested, however, in encryption of some documents. I have used the Disk Utility to create a 128 bit encrypted .dmg image. I mount it using my user account, but only as r-x. I see that root has write permission, and so I assume it is safe to write to these drives. What is the best way to make it so that my user account has rwx permissions? I could manually do a chmod each time I mount the drive, but that seems silly. Also I noticed that apple doesnt seem to mount drives using the same files as linux, so I'm a little confused. Could someone please provide some insight to this. Also, *put on tin foil hat* how secure is this? When I access the drive is it writing unencrypted data to the swap file? thanks,

Hi, iMacGyver.
A. You wrote: " I have used the Disk Utility to create a 128 bit encrypted .dmg image. I mount it using my user account, but only as r-x. I see that root has write permission, and so I assume it is safe to write to these drives."Were you logged in as root when you created the dmg? Or did you create a read-only image from a folder containing the documents?
To create a disk image to which you can add/remove documents and on which you will have Read/Write permissions:
1. Log in to your account.
2. Launch Disk Utility.
3. Select File > New > Blank Disk Image...
4. In the New Blank Image window, type a name for the new disk image in the Save As field, then select a location for saving the disk image, the desired Size, Encryption (select AES-128 in the pop-up menu), and leave Format as "read/write disk image."
5. Click Create.
6. Provide a password for the disk image when prompted. If you want extra security, de-select the option to save the password in your keychain, but be sure to never forget the password if elect to not save it in your Keychain.
You can then double-click the disk image you just created, type the password when prompted, the disk image will mount, and you can add files to it. Ejecting the disk image will unmount it and all the content you added will be encrypted.
One can use Disk Utility > File > New > Disk Image from Folder... to create either a Read Only or Read/Write encrypted disk image of an existing folder of documents, but if you elect to make it Read/Write there isn't much spare capacity for adding documents as the size of the disk image is based on the size of the folder.
Also, if your comfortable with Terminal, you can look into the hdiutil command for creating and managing disk images.
For example, if in step 4 above you selected the format as "sparse disk image", you'd later need to use the hdiutil command to compact the sparse image to recover disk space from files deleted from the spares disk image. Spare disk images are always Read/Write and only occupy as much hard drive space as the data they contain, e.g. a 100 MB sparse disk image containing 30 MB of files only uses 30 MB of hard disk space: they grow as files are added. A conventional R/W disk image of 100 MB in size takes up 100 MB of hard drive space even if it is empty.
However, when you delete files from a sparse disk image, the amount of hard disk space it occupies does not decrease until you compact it using the compact verb of hdiutil. Disk Utility does not expose all of hdiutil's functions.
B. You wrote: "Also I noticed that apple doesnt seem to mount drives using the same files as linux, so I'm a little confused. Could someone please provide some insight to this. "I don't understand what you mean. You'll need to be more specific.
C. You wrote: " Also, *put on tin foil hat* how secure is this? When I access the drive is it writing unencrypted data to the swap file? thanks"To use encrypted swap files, select "Use secure virtual memory" in System Preferences > Security. Depending on the applications you use, there may be a slight performance reduction with encrypted swap.
D. Your questions imply you're new to Mac. While you may be familiar with Linux, there are differences, especially in doing things through the GUI. If that's the case, my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, and more.

Migration Assistant and user permissions broken

I just used Migration Assistant to my old early 2008 unibody 15" MBP to import stuff to my brand new 15" quad core i7. The old machine was connected through FW800 in target disk mode.
Somehow this process failed and it left me to an odd result which I cannot figure out how or why such things would happen. I have used migration assistant often successfully, if not exactly this way.
I already decided to start things from scratch, but I would appreciate any insight that somebody might have. Like what just happened? Do you have similar experiences?
The process:
- In my old machine I had two users, for the sake of argument, "MainUser" and "OldUser".
- In my new machine I had two users made right after a clean install, "Admin" and "MainUser". I usually work with "MainUser" so I made one without thinking about it much.
- I connected the old machine in Target Disk mode and started Migration Assistant under Admin of the new machine. First question I answered to migrate from another disk, as the other machine was in Target Disk mode. Next one asked to pick the disk and that is followed by a selection "What to migrate". I wanted to install applications from scratch, so I checked everything except applications. I do not know if this is relevant, but I would imagine it is not.
- A pop-up appeared, which correctly told that there already is MainUser on the new machine. The dialog gave me three options: 1. Rename the account that I am transferring, two with the same name could not exist 2. Replace the existing account with the one I am transferring 3. Do not transfer this account.
- I chose 2, because there was nothing worth saving in the MainUser account on the new machine. Continue.
- Watch a few hours of progress bar
- After the migration process the machine was in very odd state. I logged in as MainUser and it oddly looked like default Snow Leopard state, not like the desktop of the migrated account. No folder items that I had on the desktop previously were visible, language was default English and desktop background was the Snow Leopard nebula. I tried, but could not change that in the system preferences.
- Closer inspection revealed that I did not have permissions to access any of the folders under my username, like Documents, Music, Movies etc. This also explained the desktop problems. It meant that none of the programs were allowed to read or write any data under Library folder so everything was and stayed as default. For instance, any settings that I tried to change and which might even apparently change, would reset back on logout. Programs settings were empty, like no bookmarks on Safari or Apple Mail did not show the mail accounts.
- I checked with Terminal what was on with permissions, and for some odd reason, all the folder owners under MainUser belonged to OldUser(!).
- There is no reason that I can think of why that user account would have anything to do with this migration -- after all, the whole deal was supposed to be to migrate (or overwrite) MainUser, not to mess with OldUser in any way, except bring that over as a separate item.
- For the sake of argument, I also logged to OldUser account and that seemed to be transferred correctly. No issues with file permissions or the desktop. Only MainUser was messed.
- I decided to take the ownership of all files under MainUser account back. I did "sudo chmod -R MainUser *" to grab everything. Immediately the stuff on desktop appeared. After logout and login rest of things seemed to return (mostly) to those places that the migrated MainUser should have had, like the desktop background, dock position and even Apple Mail now showed my old emails.
Even if I sort of fixed things, I have iffy feeling about the whole process.
I decided to start over. This time I will not have MainUser account on the new machine to avoid any further hassle. While I suggest everyone to avoid this situation and not to have users with same name or let Migration Assistant to run this overwrite -option, I would like to hear any speculation why or how this might have happened.
If Apple is listening, you might check the latest Migration Assistant in the above case. There might be a bug. Thank you for listening.

I think it is inadvisable to have the same user account on the target machine when using Migration Assistant - just from recollection this is known to cause problems.
However, in my experience (and I have used MA many times across many machines), even when apparently completing successfully, MA simply does not work properly when it comes to permissions.
For example, after using MA to import my previous user account to my new MBP 2.3 i7, I cannot drag anything out of the dock - it just doesn't work.
Also, content of my desktop folder does NOT display on the desktop itself.
I have tried applying specific permissions to this folder, for my user account AND "Everyone" - it makes no difference.
I do not regard Migration Assistant as fit for purpose.

Juniper MX Regular expressions and user permissions ACS 5.4

Hi everyone!
Im having some trouble with regular expressions and permissions on our Juniper MX routers through ACS 5.4, and i would like some insight/help/poitners!!
We have a team of engineers that should only have read only permissions (important: show configuration) and also be able to just change the description on interfaces.
Thus far with the following regular expressions set for the shell profile they are going through i have managed the above, however the problem is when an engineer inputs "Show configuration", only the interfaces descriptions configuration is shown! The rest of the configuration will not be printed.
deny-commands1=.*.
allow-commands1=configure
deny-configuration1=.*.
allow-commands2=interfaces .*. description .*$
allow-configuration1=interfaces .*. description .*$
allow-commands2=show configuration.*
allow-commands3=show configuration
(some of these regex i know that are not needed, i was just playing around to check everything before posting)
Any pointers as to why or how to resolve this?
example output with the above:
show configuration
## Last commit: 2014-01-09 09:34:44 EET by someone
interfaces {
    xe-0/0/0 {
    xe-0/0/1 {

Spyros

You are absolutely right!! I was doing research online after posting the above. The correct RADIUS attribute to use is actually CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Group-Based-Address-Pools. Then create the pool in ASA, and call that pool's name in ACS under that RADIUS attribute. Someone explained this perfectly in this community before. Much appreciate your answer!
Here's from another post last year:
ACS 5 does not have the feature of IP pools. Logically its always good to setup pools locally on vpn server and if you want user to pick ip from specific local pool you can configure acs to push that attribute.
On ACS Go to > Policy Elements -> Network Access ->   Authorization Profiles -> Create ->
Name of the Policy ->Dictionary Type: Radius-Cisco VPN 3000/ASA/PIX7.x
Attribute Type : CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Group-Based-Address-Pools
Attribute Type: String
Attribute Value : Static MYPOOL (Name of the Pool which is defined on the ASA)
Access Policies ->Default Network Access -> Authorization -> Create -> Under result section call the Authorization p

PO document types and user exit

Hi freinds
There is a typical issue I have. The Document types required by my client is huge. I want to bring them down. Is there any way it can be done using user exits. If yes how to do the same.
Regards
Eldee

Hi Dev,
To reduce the document types you have to delete those entries from customizing tables you need not have to use user exit for that
Which document types you want to reduce?

KM Document iView and horizontal scrollbar

I have a simple KM Doc Iview that displays a image. But I get this annoying hosrizontal scrollbar, it should rather display the whole image without the scrollbar. Have anybody experienced this? Any workarounds please? Thanks!

Is your iView embbeded into another page or it's a new blank page?
If your image is too big and exceeds the width of the window the scrollbar is created

Hi,
Set the height type of the iView to Automatic OR if that doesn't work because of domain issues then set it to fixed and in addition set the iview height to the height of the image + 10~20 px more..
Good Luck

Camera and user permissions

Hi,
I want to make a web app with that can take snapshot with the webcam.
When the user gives access to the camera everything is fine, however I want to handle the situation when the user denies the access to the camera.
I have two issues I wish to solve :
1) I want to be able to pop again the permission dialog using as3 on a button click (in case the user accidently pressed on "Deny" I don't want him to reload the web page if he wishes to use it (the camera is needed). I know it is possible to right click and give permission but most people don't know about it.
Is there a way to pop back the dialog. when I tried to access again the camera it didn't help.
2) It seems to me I came across some bug in flash. I want to add an EventHandler that detects if the user pressed "Allow" or "Deny".
this is how it's done :
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();if (cam != null)
    cam.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, statusHandler);
    var vid:Video = new Video();
    vid.attachCamera(cam);
    addChild(vid);
function statusHandler(event:StatusEvent):void
    // This event gets dispatched when the user clicks the "Allow" or "Deny"
    // button in the Flash Player Settings dialog box.
    trace(event.code); // "Camera.Muted" or "Camera.Unmuted"
BUT, it only dispathes the "StatusEvent" when the code runs on the timeline and not in a function.
for example this DOESN'T dispatch the "StatusEvent" :
myFunc();
function myFunc()
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if (cam != null)
cam.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, statusHandler);
var vid:Video = new Video();
vid.attachCamera(cam);
addChild(vid);
function statusHandler(event:StatusEvent):void
    // This event gets dispatched when the user clicks the "Allow" or "Deny"
    // button in the Flash Player Settings dialog box.
    trace(event.code); // "Camera.Muted" or "Camera.Unmuted"
Any ideas?
Thank you

Check the muted property to know when the user denied and activate the showSetting dialog again.

Km document iview problem

Hi,
I have created a new portal desktop and new framework page.i have created some KM document Iviews and assigned those iviews to a role.I have created anonymous access to the user.But i couldnt display the content of the iviews as it is showing the following error:
"The requested operation is forbidden for this resource. You do not have the permissions required to access this resource."
But when i add the super_admin_role to my portal desktop.All the iviews are displayed.
Is it possible without super admin role?
Plz help me out.
Thanking you
santosh saraf

Hello Santosh,
Every user role might not be having access permissions. Did u configure the permissions based on doc
https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000439092005E.PDF
and KM config based on SAP note 599425

KM Document Iview not Displaying

Hi Experts,
I have created KM Document iview and when i preview, its working but when i assign it to Role and check it with Users or Admin am getting error page cannot be displayed.
Please let me know what i have missed, I have checked Entry Point for both IView and Role there are YES, but its not working.
Regards,
Siva

Hi hari,
It is problem on client side cache. Goto IE Browser --> Tools --> Internet option and Clear the history, Delete temp files and Delete cookies. Then you have to check the iView.
Change property of Document iView as
Allow Client Side Caching -> No
Hope it helps

Excel on KM Document iView.

Hi,
I created a "KM Document iView" and specified the path to a MS-Excel file. I preview the iView and the spreadsheet displays fine.
I add this iView to a Role and assign this role to a user. When user selects the tab and menu item to display the Spreadsheet, it displays the following error.
The alert message reads as "C:\Documents and Settings\knatarajan\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\WHYVOH2B\pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.pilgrimspride.bi.portal.PP_Portal_Group!2fcom.pilgrimspride.bi.portal.km.fld_KM_Reports!2fcom.pilgrimspride.bi.portal.km[1].xls could not be found. Please check the spelling....." etc.
Pl. let me know if any one faced this/or a similar issue.
I could also send screen shots if need be.
To start with I can't understand why it looks for this location for the file instead of retrieving it from the server.
Best Regards,
Kumar

Thanks for your reply Jarek.
Is there a way to force the excel to display in a read only mode?
I see that preview also works with KM Document iView when the path is set to <b>/guid/8084ab95-97cc-2810-bdb0-d1497b82b2be</b> instead of <b>/PPC/External/ToRicos.xls</b>. But again the access from within the role in runtime errors out.
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Cannot assign a java.lang.String object of length 82 to host variable 1 which has JDBC type VARCHAR(64).
Is there any other resolution besides using a url iView?

KM Document iView for displaying PDF file.

Hi all,
I have uploaded one pdf file (Estimate.pdf) to KM in folder abc. I want to create an iView to display that pdf file in portal. For which I have created a KM Document iView and in "Path to Document" property I have assigned the document path like: /documents/abc/Estimate.pdf
Now when try to see preview, instead of opening my pdf file, it shows only one image on top with text mySAP.com.
I have also tried to create a link to my document and given the link path but I got the same result.
Can anyone tell me why is this happening? Is there any other property to be set?
Thanks in advance!!!!!

Vikranth,
Check for the path again carefully. I guess you are following the right approach, but instead of previewing it, try assigning it to a user and check what happens.
Refer to this [article|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0235c19-9493-2b10-64a5-8487b23a7a41]for creation of iviews.
Good Luck!

CUIC "Login User" permissions

Hi,
We are using CUIS 7.5.4 for our Contact Center (CC) reporting.
Now, we have installed CUIC 9.0(1) in another server and testing all the reports and user permissions. In CUIS, all the CC Supervisors provided with Restricted User permission but they are individually provided permissions for their CC folder and reports. I want to achieve this in CUIC.
I assume that the "Login User" in CUIC is equivalent to "Restricted User" in CUIS. Based on this understanding, we provided "Login User" permission to a user and also enabled permissions to his report folder and reports. But, whenever we login as Login User, we do not find any folders under Report folder and if we click on Report folder, it says "Access Denied - please contact Administrator for permission".
I have another user for the administrator but I do not know which permission needs to be enabled for that restricted user/login user to access his reports (only). Can anyone help me on this please.
Thanks & Regards
Velan

"Login User" only allows the user to login to CUIC, it doesn't allow access to any features. "Report Designer" will allow the user to run and create reports, and "Dashboard Designer" will allow the user to run and create Dashboards.
New Reports/Dashboards can only be created in folders that the user has proper permissions on. Likewise, you can use permissions to restrict which existing folders and reports the user can use.
