Blocking rights to change Remote Management Settings

I'm in a school system, and we're getting ZW 7 set up. I have a couple
of users per school who have rights through iManager to reset passwords
for users in their containers. I'm seeing through Console 1 that these
users also are granted Remote Control rights, based on their iManager
Role rights. I can live with that, but I need to block their ability to
change the properties of the package, such as blocking them from
unchecking the option that requires permission from the user before
allowing remote control. Any advice?
Thanks.

Changed Remote Management Settings -- Lost ARD Control!

I run a headless server. My remote management settings on the server were set to allow "all users" to control it. I changed it to allow "only these users" and it was set to the current and only user "admin". I immediately lost control of the server in ARD. When I try to re-add it to my list, it accepts "admin" and the password but refuses to allow me to control the server anymiore.
Needless to say: Help!

well, that was exciting . . . i was able to login as the superuser (root).
what's interesting is that when i re-established contact with the server the remote management/options window was open and none of the boxes were checked.
since it limited control to the admin user immediately upon selecting it, therefore, it stopped allowing me to control it via ARD. not sure how one could set control the admin only on a headless server, but all's well that ends well.

Changed Remote Management settings, now I can't authenticate!

I recently changed some settings on several machines at my workplace, and one of the settings was to allow all accounts, and not just the previously existing accounts, to access some computers using Remote Management.
I didn't turn Remote Management off, I just changed it from "Allow access for: Only these users:" to "Allow access for: All users". The host machine has 10.6.3 and ARD 3.3.2. All the clients have either 10.6.3 or 10.5.8. Any machines that I haven't changed that setting for work great, and I am able to authenticate, just the ones that I have changed their settings.
I have noticed that when I use an account that is valid on that machine, it colors the icon as if I had put a proper username/password in. I have tried new preference files, I have done the "kickstart" processes, and I have tried ScreenSharing.app, and none of them work. I have tried ScreenSharing.app from other computers, and it fails as well, telling me the problem is with the affected client computers, and not the host.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Okay, I just had an "oh yeah!" moment where it suddenly dawned on me; when I change from "Only these users:" to "All users", I need to adjust the Options... settings to allow for users to remotely connect again.

Default Remote Management Settings

I just (for the first time ever) looked at my Remote Management settings and VNC access was turned on and Show status in menu bar was turned off. That seems a bit precarious and unorthodox.
Is that the default setting or has my system been changed by someone/thing? Is there a way to easily parse my secure.log (i.e., a useful string to search for) that would tell me if I have had unauthorized connections?

Try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Remote Management settings

I am trying to turn on my screen sharing but when I go to the system preferences "Sharing" tab, and click on the "Screen Sharing" and the message "Screen Sharing is currently being controlled by the Remote Management service". I naturally go to the remote management tab, but it is not there. Any help?
I am using a late 2010 MBA

If your users have local administrator privileges, there's no way I know of to totally prevent them from being able to alter the settings. You can, if you're using Managed Preferences from Mac OS X Server, turn off access to the Sharing control panel, I believe, but that won't stop a knowledgeable user from just using the kickstart command to alter the ARD settings or turn the ARD client off again.

How to manage Remote Management settings with Snow Leopard Server

At my business, I manage our Macs' preferences using Managed Client as part of Mac OS X Server 10.6... one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to enforce settings for Remote Management. For example: I want only the administrator user to be able to control a machine, and only run reports but not copy software, etc.
I have tried configuring a machine correctly, then importing com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist and com.apple.ARDAgent.plist into Workgroup Manager. No luck. I wonder if anyone out there has solved a similar problem.

Open the Server Admin program (in the dock if nowhere else). It's there.

Cant set Remote Management password

I am going nuts trying to find this out! When I right click the remote
management agent, the security selection is greyed out. I have full admin
rights to the tree. Does anyone know where this setting is to allow this?
thanks

I set this option but the security option on the systray icon is still
greyed out so I cant set the password. Any reason why this is restricted?

Manage Remote Desktop Settings

We have this set to "NO" in our client settings. However, I can right click on any client in the console and start the remote desktop client and connect successfully using RDP. So what exactly does the "Manage Remote Desktop Settings"
do?

>Where I am still confused is what the settings apply to.
> And what if RDP is already enabled by
me manually on a Windows machine? Than setting it to "yes" or "no" has no effect?
If "Manage Remote Desktop" settings is set to "No", then the client leaves the settings alone. Devices should continue on with whatever they have set locally.
If "Manage Remote Desktop" settings is set to "Yes", then the client will change the settings on devices to enable RDP and, optionally, add permitted viewers to the local "Remote Desktop Users" group or require network level authentication. according
to what you specify.

Why or how could firefox change my proxy settings without me doing anything right in the middle of browsing the internet?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
While I was browsing the internet suddenly nothing would happen when I clicked a link. Upon closing and opening firefox and trying to load a web page it said "the proxy server is refusing connection. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."
I did manage to fix the problem by changing the proxy settings from manual to auto-detect but what disturbs me is how those settings could be changed without me doing so right in the middle of using the internet. I dont know if its a bug or a security issue but I thought I would let you guys know.

Your extensions list shows an enabled "Torbutton 1.2.5" extension, so it is possible that that extension is responsible for that change.

Regarding changing the application settings for Financial management (BPM)

Hi,
I have built the sample Comma application in HFM 9.3.1 using the BPM functionality from workspace as outlined in the documentation. The consolidation rules are set to "N" for this application when I open the XML using the window client. Can anyone tell me how I can change this to "Y" through workspace and load the application again. Since its a BPM application it does not allow me to load from window client. How to modify the application properties of a Financial manegement application through workspace (BPM). Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance......

If you extract your application from the web using the extract tasks, check on the Financial Management Application format, this should provide you with a file with an app extension something like this:
hfmmetada.app
When you hit extract and then click on 1 Click here to download, then save, on the save as file type button, make sure is .app; then open your app file with a text editor, change the application settings for ConsolidationRules=N to Y.

Remote Management - Rights Authentication Failed

Since upgrading from zenworks 10 to zenworks 11 I am getting the following error when I try to remote to workstations. I am not receiving this on all workstations, just some.
Zenworks Remote Management
Rights Authentication failed. An internal error occured while validating
information about the managed device. If the problem persists, contact
Novell Technical Services.
I cannot find any info on this particular error. Workstations are Windows XP SP3. This error did not occur before the upgrade to Zen 11.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You

Block interactivity but keep left/right page change...?

Hi all
I have an auto play video, and I'm trying to block the user from tapping to play / pause
I know it can be done with a pan and zoom overlay, but then this blocks the user from swiping left/right to change page
anyone know a way around this?
Tim

okay, so my solution so far has been to scrap the MSO and in the audio/video overlay creator - check "tap to view controller" then using an MSO at the bottom of the sreen to hide the controller so only the NAV BAR appears when the screen is tapped - this is a very sketchy work around and doesn't work very well for full screen videos
please if someone could help or tell me about their similar situations / work arounds
also I've found that my toll box for "media" that sits in the interactive menu, is blank? like there's nothing inside it... any ideas?
Tim

If I select a clip on my Timeline in Premiere Pro cs6, everything to the right of it is also selected. What can I change in my settings to prevent this from happening?

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments

Effective Rights for Remote Management

How are an Administrator's Remote Management rights determined with regard to devices and users?
If an Administrator has Remote Control rights to a device, should they be able to remote control that device no matter what user is logged into it?
Conversely, if an Administrator has Remote Control rights to a user, should they be able to remote control that user no matter what device the user is logged into?
Thanks.

Michelsr,
it's the most restrictive combination that's effective - allowing
things like:
1) you have a device policy that says "allow", but the CEO logins in
and his policy is set to "deny", then you cannot remote control him
2) you have machines that contain sensitive information, so they have a
policy that says "deny", and a user logs in that has a policy that says
"allow", you cannot access that session.
