Branding and Encrypted Fields

Dear Abode Support Staff;
Is it possible for me to create my own brand and have no mention of Abobe at all? Or can I accomplish this by embedding my form on a website and then using the redirect function to cycle back to the website?
I love the product, but the value I will bring to my clients in the education and understanding of how to use the system. This will take a lot of work on my part. I would hate for me to do all the training and then have them simply go to Adobe Forms Central and redo all my work (After I've created the design etc).
Can you help me with this?
Also, is there a way to add additonal encryption to a particular field?
Thanks,
Jim Cantoni

If you have a paid account and embed the form within your web page the bottom "Powered By" footer goes away. They won't see our brand in that case.
I don't quite understand your question about encryption. All submissions are encrypted with HTTPS.

Custom report and encrypted fields

Hi,
I am writing a report that display all the Database IT resources in OIM system along with their connection URL, there is no input to the report and the output is just the name of the It resource and URL.
The report works fine but the result is encrypted for connection URL, the field is encrypted in the OIM DB but I thought if one use reporting functionality of the OIM the result will be de-encrypted but i guess i was wrong.
Can anyone please suggest how to display such a field unencrypted using reporting interface.
Thanks,

Just wanted to clarify that the field (URL) itself is not defined encrypted in the IT resource parameter definition, only the password field is defined encrypted but when you look inside the OIM DB for all the parameters are in either encrypted or hashed.

Digital Signatures and Encryption in Yosemite Mail

After upgrading to Yosemite, I am having difficulty using the Mac Mail app to send digitally signed and encrypted email.
Before the upgrade to Yosemite, I was able to send signed and encrypted emails using certificate/keys in my keychain using both the Mac Mail app and Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac.
After upgrading, I am still able to send signed and encrypted message in Outlook, but the Mac Mail app gives the following error when I attempt to send a signed email:
'You don’t have a trusted certificate in your keychain that matches the email address “XXXX@XXXX”. Without a certificate, you can’t sign messages sent from this address.' (Actual name replaced)
When I look at my certificates in my keychain, a certificate is available with "Usage: Digital Signature" that has the email address from the error message "XXXX@XXXX" with exact case in the RFC 822 Name.
Another interesting piece of data that might help track this down is that when I first launch the Mac Mail application, the Mac Mail application is able to successfully decrypt emails that have been previously sent encrypted to me. HOWEVER, after I attempt to send an email and get the "You don’t have a trusted certificate..." error message, these emails are no longer able to be decrypted. I get the "Unable to decrypt message" header above the message and the content of the message is just a "smime.p7m". If I close the mail application and restart it, these encrypted message are once again decrypt-able until I attempt to send a message.
It almost seems like things are working until mail tries to access the keychain.
I have attempted to delete my certificate and keys from my keychain and then adding those items again.
I have attempted to close the mail application and reopen it.
I have attempted to reboot my computer.

1. I want to confirm that this is still an issue for me in 10.10.1 and mail Version 8.1 (1993)
2. I have another data point.
At my office I have wired networking and wireless networking available. Primarily I utilize the wired networking for access to network drives, etc.
When using the wired networking, I experience all the problems that have been catalogued in this thread. Can't sign, can't encrypt, can't close the compose window after the mail program fails to find my certificate.
However, when I switch to wireless networking before starting the mail application, digital signatures and encryption seem to work! This is pretty weird behavior. Make sure to restart mail if you were previously wired.
Here are some theories:
Something to do with OCSP? When I am wired vs wireless I am on different ip subnets and subject to different firewall rule sets. Perhaps OCSP is trying to determine the status of the certificate and failing?
Here are some things I have tested:
I switched to a different official apple brand thunderbolt to ethernet adapter with no change in behavior
I disabled wireless and disconnected my wired network. So no network access at all. Signatures and encryption work! The message obviously does not send, but it appears in my outbox and I don't get the signature error. When I reconnect my wired cable, the message sends successfully and appears as encrypted in my sent folder!
I have attempted to disable OCSP by using "Keychain Access --> Preferences --> Certificates Tab --> OCSP (OFF) and CRL (OFF)" but this hasn't made a difference in the behavior of wired networking.
Ran a TCPDUMP on traffic to the OCSP service but didn't see any traffic when I attempted to send a message and received the signature error
I am pretty stumped on this. This is very odd behavior
Does anyone else experience this behavior?

Issue while Signing and Encrypting the PDF Document.

Hello,
I am developing one component in VC++(MFC) which signs and encrypts the pdf documents.
When i sign and encrypt pdf document using my component, I am getting following error while opening the document in Adobe Acrobat
Error during signature verification
Unexpected byte range values defining scope of signed data.
Details: The signature byte range is invalid
But if i open that document in binary mode and calculate the byte range its looking correct.
The Process for signing and encrypting the PDF document is as follows :
1)Prepare the PDF document for signing (Add Annotation objects,n0,n2
layers,create blank signature field,new xref section etc.)
2)Encrypt the whole document(Password based encryption).
3)Put the ByteRange values.
4)Write the signature in blank signature field.
If i just perform encryption(128 bit RC4 Algorithm) on the pdf document its working fine.Only after adding the signature objects i am getting above error.I think it means something is wrong in signature related objects,but i am not able to recognize the exact problem.
So what can be the issue?
Please Help
Thanks in Advance

Read-only AND Encrypted

I am using Acrobat XI Pro: is there a way to make a file read-only AND encrypted?

Folks,
I may have found a way to create a pdf document with Acrobat XI Pro that is read-only AND encrypted. Please let me know if I have indeed succeeded or not, thank you!
The steps that I follow to create the read-only AND encrypted pdf document are as follows:
Create a plain pdf document, from MS Word for example
Sanitize Document
Create Form without fields
Close Form Editing
Encrypt with Password
Save
Save As Other… => Reader Extended PDF... => Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)…
I as a not-very-sophisticated-computer-user did not find a way to hack difficult to detect changes - such as the insertion or deletion of the word 'not' - into the resulting pdf document. But again, please let me know if you DO find a way to hack the resulting pdf document, thank you!
P.S. I think the resulting pdf document is essentially an encrypted form, albeit one without fields.

I keep getting a msg that I am entering an encrypted field

Every time I open the Firefox Beta 4, I get a msg that I am entering an encrypted field and that this can be easily seen by third party users. What is causing this?

Sometimes there are just server problems with the App Store. Only thing that I can offer is to wait a day or so and try again and, if still no luck, contact the App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
Good luck,

Mesage-Level Signing AND Encrypting Web Services?

Hello,
I have a Web Service on a Weblogic 9.2 that is able to encrypt or sign it's output messages but when I want to use both together I get the following error:
WSSecurityException: Signature failed to validate. Reference: #Body_B1Zi6a4UPGCpLPRh does not validate.
Could this be an ordering problem of signing and encryption and do I have any influence on what should be done first?
By the way signing and encrypting input messages from a consumer works fine. I'm not using any user defined ws-policy files.
thanks for help
spunti999

I found out now that encryption alone does not work properly as I thought it would. The messages look fine on TCP-Monitor and I get no Exception or error message but the response content is empty, all fields are null.
Does anybody know if there is a bug with empty encrypted responses? (Sending and encrypted Request to the service works and it's content fields are not empty.)

CREDIT CARDS
Go thr below links:
PAYMENT CARDS:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/SDBILIVPC/SDBILIVPC.pdf
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/93/745309546011d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
Overview
This document attempts to explain in the brief the credit card processing in SAP.
SAP provides a flexible and secure payment card interface that works with the
software of selected partners that provide merchant processes and clearing house
services. In SAP the credit card processing is integrated with the sales and
distribution module.
Payment card configuration
Much of what is required for credit card processing to work with VISA, Master
Card, and American Express is already set up in SAP.
For all credit card configurations refer to
Define Card Types
Transaction SPRO IMG ‡ Sales and Distribution ‡ Billing ‡ Payment Cards
Here we define the type of cards that can be used in the system. A four-letter
code is given for each card type. E.g. MAST for Master Card, VSAJ for Visa
Japan. A function module for checking the card number is also specified here.
1. Define Card Types
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
Maintain Card Categories
(a) Define card Categories: Here we specify the card category of the
payment card. With this the system automatically determines the card
category when you enter a card number in master data or sales
documents.
(b) Determine card categories: Here we specify the acceptable number
ranges for different card types. Also card categories are assigned to the
card types. Even though SAP comes with card checking algorithms
(Function Modules) for standard card types this configuration setting
is particularly useful to those cards that do not contain any standard
checking algorithm already set up in SAP.
2. Determine Card Categories
Maintain Payment Card Plan Type
In this step, you assign the payment plan type for payment cards, the payment
card plan type, to all sales document types in which you will be using payment
cards. You cannot process payment cards if you have not made this assignment
The standard system contains payment plan type 03 for processing payment
cards. 3. Show the screen where this assignment is done.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
3. Maintain Payment Plan Type
Maintain Blocking Reasons
In this step, you define blocking reasons for payment cards. You enter these in
the payer master record to block cards. The standard system contains blocking
reason 01 for lost cards.
Risk Management for Payment Cards
Transaction SPRO IMG ‡ Sales and Distribution ‡ Billing ‡ Payment Cards
‡ Authorization and settlement ‡ Risk Management for payment cards.
Risk Management plays a central role within Sales, providing you with checks
and functions to minimize your credit risk. In addition to letters of credit and
export credit insurance, payment cards are among the payment guarantee forms
that you can use to insure payment for sales order items. SAP comes with predefined
payment forms of guarantee as shown below. Customer can also
maintain other forms of payment suited for their line of business.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
Define forms of payment guarantee
3. Define forms of payment guarantee
Maintain payment guarantee procedures
In this step, you define Payment guarantee procedure. These procedure controls,
which form of payment guarantee, are valid for a particular customer, and for a
particular sales document type.
The various settings done under this configuration are
Define payment guarantee procedures
Maintain customer determination procedure
Maintain document determination procedure
Assign sales document types
Determine payment guarantee procedures
Maintain authorization requirements*
Here requirements* are set to tell the system how and when to carry out
authorization when a sales order is saved. SAP comes with two requirements
Form routine 1. Carry out authorization only when the sales document is
complete. The system carries authorization when the order is saved.
Form routine 2. Carry out authorization only when the sales document is
complete, but the authorization for all the complete documents is carried out in
batch.
Additional requirements* can be assigned here as per the business requirements.
*Requirements are ABAP/4 code. Requirements for various functions can be accessed using transaction VOFM
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
4. Maintain Card Authorization Requirements
Maintain Checking Groups
How and when authorizations are carried out depends on the setting you make in
the customizing for maintain checking group routines.
The three main settings that influence authorization are:
a) Authorization requirements
b) Authorization horizon
c) Preauthorization
There are two settings under this setting.
Define checking group: Here a checking group is defined and the
authorization requirement (described in the previous section), Authorization
horizon (described below) and preauthorization settings are done for this
checking group.
5. Define Checking Group
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
Here you can see a checking group C1 is defined with the authorization
requirement 902. Checking the pre-authorization tells the system to carryout preauthorization
if the order fulfillment date falls outside the horizon. The
authorization horizon specifies the number of days before the material
availability date, or billing date, that the system is to initiate authorization. If a
sales order is saved within the authorization horizon, the system carries out
authorization immediately. If a sales order is saved before the authorization
horizon comes into effect, the system does not authorize at all, or carries out
preauthorization.
6. Preauthorization Concept
In this example, the system has been set to authorize one day before delivery
creation. The system does not carry out authorization when the order is saved on
Day 0, rather on Day 2. Note that the authorization validity period has been set to
14 days in Customizing IMG‡ Authorization and settlement‡ Specify
authorization validity periods. The transaction will have to be reauthorized if
delivery activities take longer than 14 days.
Assign checking groups: Here the checking groups defined earlier are
assigned to different sales document types as shown 8.
Specify authorization validity periods
Here number of days that an authorization can remain valid for different card
types are maintained. Refer to 9.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
8. Assign checking groups
9. Assign validity period for authorization for different card types
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
Account Determination
Transaction SPRO IMG ‡ Sales and Distribution ‡ Billing ‡ Payment Cards‡
Authorization and settlement ‡ Maintain Clearing House
In the following steps, you set the condition technique for determining
clearinghouse reconciliation accounts for authorization and settlement. The
system uses the entries here to determine the clearing account for the payment
card charges. When settlement is run, the postings in the receivable account for
the payment card will be credited and a consolidated debit will be created and
posted to the clearinghouse account. These accounts are a special type of general
ledger account that is posted from Sales and Distribution.
Here, you maintain:
• Maintain field catalog.
• Condition tables and the fields that they contain
• Access sequences and condition types
• Account determination procedures
• You then assign these accounts to condition types.
Add to field catalog
Here you maintain the fields that can be used in the condition table. 10.
Shows the transaction to maintain the field catalog.
10. Maintain Field Catalog.
Maintain condition tables
Here condition tables are maintained with fields that are added to the field
catalog. SAP comes pre-configured with two condition tables 4 and 6. Refer
11.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
11. Maintain Condition Table
Maintain access sequences
In this step we define an access sequence and link the access sequence with the
condition tables.
Here an access sequence is defined. SAP comes with the access sequence A001.
12. Define Access Sequence
Once the new access sequence is defined, it is linked to the condition tables as
shown in the next screen.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
13. Maintain Access For Access Sequence
Selecting an access and clicking fields will display the fields for the selected
access as shown below for access 10 as shown above.
14. Display Access Fields
Maintain condition types
Here condition types are defined and the access sequence to linked to it.
Condition types are contained in account determination procedures and control
which access sequences the system uses to find condition records.
These are The condition tables.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
15. Define condition type
Maintain account determination procedure
In this step an account determination procedure is defined and linked to the
condition type (which in turn is linked to the access sequence).
Define account determination procedure
16. Assign account determination procedure.
Here an account determination procedure CC01 is defined and the condition type
CC01 is assigned to it.
Access sequence linked to the condition type
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
Assign account determination procedures
In this customizing the previously set up account determination procedure is
assigned to different billing documents.
Assign Accounts (G/L)
G/L accounts are assigned here for the combination of Sales organization, Card
type, chart of accounts and condition types as shown in the 17.
17. Assign G/L accounts
Set authorization / settlement control per account
Each G/L account is assigned an authorization and a settlement function module.
The system will read the configuration a call the authorization and settlement
function module during authorization and settlement respectively.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
18. Set Authorization and settlement function module
Maintain merchant IDs per account
A merchant may have one or more IDs for each clearinghouse with which it does
business. Here, you assign these different merchant IDs to their related
receivables accounts.
19. Assign Merchant ID’s
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
Authorization and Settlement in SAP
20. Sales Order Cycle With Credit Card Authorization
When an order is placed through the front-end system, the order information,
credit card information, billing information, shipping information is passed to
SAP. SAP processes the order calculates the taxes, the shipping costs and reads
the configuration information settings and executes the function module setup as
described in Fig. 18. The function module formats the data and makes a RFC *
call to the payment application**.
The payment application screens the order for fraud, encrypts the data and
communicates with the third party processor who in turns communicates with
the card association and card issuer.
*RFC (Remote Function Call)
*Payment Application: Middle ware between SAP and third party processor/bank.
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
The third party processor responds back with the response whether the
transaction is approved or declined or referred.
Note: When any item in the order does not have a confirmed quantity, then
authorization is not carried out for the full amount. A small dollar amount
usually ($1) is used as the authorization amount. During the rescheduling run
the system will check for the material availability. If the material can be
delivered within the horizon date, a full authorization for the order is carried
out.
Approved: When the credit card transaction is approved the systems checks for
the material availability, confirms the material for the ordered quantity and saves
the order.
Declined: The material availability check for the material is not made, and the
order is rejected.
Referred: The order is saved and is blocked for delivery. In this situation is
merchant calls the bank checks for the available credit on the card and a manual
authorization is carried out.
21. Sales Order Entry Screen in SAP
Payment Card
Information
Credit Card Configuration And Processing In SAP
The first line in payment card screen is the card check performed by SAP system,
using the card check algorithm function module as described in 1. And the
remaining lines represent the actual authorizations that are carried out.
22. Payment Card Screen
Path Header ‡ Payment Cards.
Settlement
Legally the merchant can charge the credit card after the order has been
completely processed. In SAP this happens after a delivery is created and the
goods has been shipped. In case there is not enough authorization for the order
to be delivered, the system goes out the get the authorization for the remaining
amount.
In SAP settlement is initiated using the transaction FCC1. All the valid
authorization is submitted in a batch to the payment application at scheduled
intervals as specified by the third party processor.
The payment application encrypts this data and communicates with the third
party processor. The third party processor checks if the settlement request has a
valid authorization against it. The third party processor then transfers the fund
from the cardholder’s bank to the merchant bank.

Infoset Join condition on Key feilds and data fields

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to biuld the Info set with join conditon on two DSO's the info objects which i am using in the JOin condition are defined as data fieds in one DSO and defined as key fields in another DSO, is it possible to define join condition on key fields and data fields.
The two info objects are
                       0AC_DOC_NO
                       0ITEM_NUM
These two info objects are defined as data fields in DSO :   0LIV_DS1   Invocie verificaion

Hi
yes you can create join, you will get any issue in reporting level.
example: Say i want to create Info Set on 0MATERIAL and Sales DSO.
In 0MATERIAL Info Object it is key filed, but in my DSO 0MATERIAL is data field.Still we can create
Creation of join is dependent on fields common in your source objects.

Key fields and data fields in a DSO ??

i have a question regarding key fields and data fields in a Standard DSO...
i am using 2 datasources to build a open sales report 2LIS_11_VASTH and 2LIS_11_VASTI i am pulling in data from these 2 data sources to a DSO and i am wondering what infoobjects should be in the key fields and data fields .....does this reflect back to table VBUK and VBUP tables and does the key field in the DSO have to be the key fields in VBUK and VBUP tables ???? or what really should be included as key fields and data fields ????
please help....

If you look at the various SD tables, VBELN and POSNR are commonly used as the document number and document line item.
For VBAP and VBUP, it's referring to the Sales Order Line Item with the columns VBELN and POSNR as the key for both tables. However, if you look at the LIPS table, which is the Delivery Line Item table, it too has VBELN and POSNR as the key. Likewise, the VTTP table, which is the Shipment Line Item table, also has VBELN and POSNR as the key.
While using RSOSFIELDMAP as a map is a fairly good "rule of thumb", it still needs to be used with a level of skepticism.

Prerequsites for deciding Key fields and data fields

Hi
I would like to know the criteria to decide upon KEY fields and Data fields for an infoprovider.

Hi,
What is a Key field in a Database and How should I choose one?
Keys are crucial to a table structure for many reasons, some of which are identified below:
They ensure that each record in a table is precisely identified.
They help establish and enforce various types of integrity.
They serve to establish table relationships.
Datafields may be Charecteristics and it may be keyfigures

Key Fields and Data Fields in ODS

Hi Guru's ,
Can u Explain what are Key Field's and Data Field's in ODS,and How they work.
Thanx in Advance.

Hi Pradeep,
An ODS key fields forms a unique combination of chars according to which data in the ODS will be summed up. Data fields are additional fields, chars or key figures.
For example, you have the following key fields:
Doc No, Doc line item (item no in the doc) and you load the following data:
Doc# Item# Amount CALDAY
1234 1        100       26.09.2005
1234 1        150       27.09.2005
1234   2        300      27.09.2005
1235   1        400      27.09.2005
The first two rows with the same key fields (1234-1) will be aggregated and into ODS will go amount of 250.
What I said is true if for Amount key figure the Add option is set.
But if you set an Overwrite option, then the second record will overwrite the first one and only amount of 150 will go to ODS!
But if CALDAY is also a key field, then into ODS will go all records without any aggregation, because key fields combination is different for all records.
So, ODS key fields choice and KFs settings are very important for data aggregation in the ODS.
Best regards,
Eugene

Data fields and key fields

Hi,
Data fields and key fields are same as Characteristcs and key figures? Or they are diffrerent?
Thanks,
Radha

HI
Key Fields = Acts as Primary Key for The ODS like Primary of Tables in R3.
Data fields = Apart from Key fields We consider rest as data fields.
Ususally we use Characteristic info Objects and Dates in Key Fields and Key figures in Data fields.
It's decisive factor for overwriting property of ODS or DOS.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rangzz
