Bug in applying read only security status to a PDF portfolio?

Hi,
A quick question about setting up a pdf portfolio as 'read only', so users cannot save amended versions of the document within the portfolio, they can only go to 'save as'.
I have set this up, using Adobe Professional 9, using the following process = File > Portfolio Properties > Security tab and then selecting 'Password Security' (setting a password) and then setting the permission from 'Allow Changes' to 'None'.
My colleague, who has Adobe X, can go into the portfolio, without knowing/entering any password and change documents. If she exits individual documents whilst still in the portfolio, and goes back into them, she can still see her changes (although when she exits her Adobe software completely and goes back into it, opening the portfolio, these changes have not been saved).
Can anyone tell me why this happens, and how to stop it, so she can't even get to saving it within the portfolio in the first place? Or is it something that has to be set up on Adobe X, rather than Adobe 9?
Thanks all!

PDF files in the Portfoloio are treated as simple attachments. To Acrobat, a PDF attachment is basically the same as a Word or image file. When you open the attachment, the Portfolio just opens the corresponding application. If the file gets modified by that application and the Portfolio security is set to not allow changes, anything done in the external application is ignored.
The best way to prevent this is to set security on the files prior to adding them to the Portfolio, this will prevent users from getting the idea that they can modify the contents. Then secure the Portfolio itself.

BUG: ADF BC read-only VO with no Key attrs + af:table

Hello all,
I've got a bug to report - quite easily reproducable with the HR demo schema. To see it:
1). Create a new application from the ADF BC + Faces template
2). Create a read-only VO, use "SELECT employee_id, first_name from employees" and order by "employee_id" - take the defaults for everything - do not set any key attributes.
3). Create an AM, add the VO to it's data model. Turn off AM pooling in the configuration.
4). Create a JSPX page. Drag-drop the VO from the data control palette as an ADF read-only table - with selection
5). Bind the actionlistener of the "submit" button to a backing bean method that just system.out.println's something.
Now, run the app. Try selecting an employee from the first page (records 1-10) and clicking submit - it works. Now, scroll to the second set of records, select one and click submit - no message appears - the action listener is never called. No errors are thrown.
Workaround: ensure the VO has employee_id selected as a key attribute.
My code is at the bottom for reference.
Cheers,
John

Read only security not working in Data Manager

Hello,
We are on version 5.5 SP6 (5.5.63.71).
I create a Role named EVERYONE with all Functions = None and all Table and Fields = Read Only.
I want the user to have read only access in Data Manager so I assigned one Role - EVERYONE. The user is not assigned any other roles. When the user logons, they have read/write access to all data.
This was working on previous versions.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tammi

The user does have security only access. In Data Manager, the user can change a record but the user will receive an Insufficient Privelages message when they attempt to save the record.

"Read-only" message when saving edited PDF

When I try and save editing in an existing PDF I get a pop-up window saying it could not be saved becase it may be read-only. This is true even on files that I have saved myself that are not read-only. How can I get rid of this?? The only option I have is to save the file under a different name which leaves me with the same file.

Hi ILM100213,
What version of Acrobat are you using (and have you installed the latest updated)? And what operating system? Have you double-checked the file permissions on those files to make sure that you have read-write access? And, do you know whether any of those files have document permissions assigned in Acrobat?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Read Only Display of Radio group and Text area with counter not working

Hello,
I am using Apex 3.2, with 10g for the database
I have this form, with fields that will set to read only when status = 'closed'
All of the fields display as read only except for 2. I cannot figure out why this is not working correctly.
1st field is Issues that is a text area with character counter, with a sql query behind it, that is set to null unless the query is pulling in the data.
2nd field is Status which is a radio group that will not display as read only when status = 'closed'
I have other fields on the form with the same format and they change to read only when the status = 'closed', I have even copied the pl/sql expression from one field to these fields and it still doesn't work correctly. I have also tried javascript for an on load event, which works, but once I click on the save button, it disables all of the page items, which works correctly, but I purposely forget to enter information, to make sure the validations are firing correctly, which it does, but the script disables everything, not allowing me to correct the errors. The javascript is firing on the on page load event.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Mary

Dung,
That API seems to have a bug, it returns true/false/null, so you could use 'return not nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name => 'APP Admin'),false)' to get a false value.
Unfortunately there's another problem: using the read-only attributes for checkbox or radiogroup item makes them hidden. My suggestion would be to create another item that has disabled="disabled" in the HTML Form Element attribute in the item definition and display that item or the non-disabled item alternately, using conditions based on the current_user_in_group logic.

"Read Only" open other schema's package body even have write permission

Oracle SQL Developer 2.1 (2.1.0.63)
I can view and modify package under my schema, but when I open other schema's package body, it show "Read Only" in status bar and can't type in code editor.
I'm sure my connected user have write permission and it works fine in old sql developer version.
Is there some toggle for "read only" view or some issue for new release?

Not very helpful for you at the moment, but according to EA 2.1. Can't edit another users store procedures. this has been bugged and will hopefully get fixed soon.

Read only access for objects in application designer

I want to apply read only access to all the objects in application designer. I would like to know how we can do this.
Jayaprakash Tedla

Jayaprakash,
On 8.48 :
1. Create a PERMISSION LIST
1.1 leave empty the navigator homepage
1.2 leave unchecked Can Start Application Server? and Allow Password to be Emailed?
1.3 On Pages tab, leave it empty
1.4 On PeopleTools tab, check Application Designer Access, then click on Definition Permissions, Tools Permissions Miscellaneous and Permissions, and put there the rights as well as you want. You can put Read Only on all component in one shot by clicking on the button, or one by one by choosing in the listbox for each type of components.
1.5 leave all other tab blank
2. Create a ROLE, and add the permission list created on step 1.
3. Create the user, and give the role created on step 2.
4. Open Application Designer, connect there with the new user, and enjoy on read-only access.
Hope this help,
Nicolas.

Radio Group read-only bug?

I appologize if this has already been posted - I couldn't find it in a search.
It seems that when a radio group is set to read-only, the input elements have an empty name attribute. This causes all but the last radio group to have no checked value.
Is this a known bug? or do I have something set up wrong? If it is a bug, is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Eric

Eric - Didn't know about this. Thanks. Maybe don't use the read-only option and achieve a similar effect with your own attribues on the html.

After some looking through SDN and OSS messages, I found a relevant posting (DDIC ACTIVATION ERROR) but no solution. I have submitted a message to SAP but since I'm under a time limit, I need to use all available resources to resolve.
I suspect these issues are a result of TDMS. Client 200 is the target of a TDMS copy. We have dropped this client for now just to see if that resolves the issue, but it did not as we expected. I suspect there is something in the TDMS controller that we need to do to "release" this system as a target but we're just now evaluating TDMS and are not experts. Any suggestions?

Hi,
To resolve the mentioned problem please follow the instructions
given in following SAP note :

Follow the instructions as mentioned in the note properly.

It is possible to apply redo while the standby is open in read only mode ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0)
Step 1: Two node RAC is Configured.
Step 2: One node Data Guard RAC is configured.( i,e Standby is one node RAC).
Primary:

OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL
READ WRITE PRIMARY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY
Standby:
SQL> select open_mode,database_role,PROTECTION_MODE,PROTECTION_LEVEL from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL
READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY
Question:
I have not purchased active dataguard license.
In my case In Data Guard RAC it is possible to apply redo while the database is open in read only mode?
Thanks

"READ ONLY WITH APPLY" in V$DATABASE.OPEN_MODE means Active Data Guard is enabled.
Oracle code cannot check if you have the right license: it is up to you to know which license you have for your database environments.

How Real Time Apply works while physical standby is open in Read Only mode

Hi,
With Active data guard option, we can open physical standby DB in read only mode, while redo log are being applied. (Real Time Query)
Standby Redo log (SRL) enables Real Time Apply (with "USING CURRENT LOGFILE" clause in recover database command on standby DB)
I am interested to know, how Real Time Query works ?
What is the mechanism with allows us to open physical standby DB in read only mode while redo logs are being applied continuously ?
Regards,
Sujit

Dear user7419391,
That is a new feature in Oracle Database 11g. MRP can use the real time apply in 10g but the concept here is different.
Taken from the following document;
http://www.ascent.co.za/documents/oracle/Oracle%20databse%2011g%20Active-Data-Guard%20datasheet.pdf
*Unique Advantages of Oracle Active Data Guard*
+Active Data Guard is an evolution of Data Guard technology, providing unique+
+performance advantages while leveraging all other enhancements included in Oracle+
+Data Guard 11g. For example, any Data Guard 11g physical standby database can+
+be easily converted to a Snapshot Standby. A Snapshot Standby is open read-write+
+and is ideally suited as a test system, able to process transactions independent of the+
+primary database. A Snapshot Standby maintains protection by continuing to receive+
+data from the production database, archiving it for later use. When tests are+
+complete, a single command discards changes made while open read-write and+
+quickly resynchronizes the standby database with the primary.+
The other link in the previous post is excellent and you really have to read it to understand the active data guard aspects.

Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
<true/>
in the
<iPhone>
<Entitlements>
<![CDATA[
I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store. In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

If bluehost is your server this is what worked for me:

Security: Read-only for USB and FireWire

Is there a way to secure the external data ports on a Mac so you can't write to a USB and/or FireWire drive? Obviously we need the SATA / InternalHD to be regular read/write. I've swapped out the optical drive so it is a read-only device, but it would be nice to have a solution that prevents writing to optical media as well.

I found two links that provide a solution.
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/TigerSecurity_Config021507.pdf
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/LeopardSecurity_Config20080530.pdf
I can't find the page(s) that reference these PDFs, so you have to download them directly.
Within the two documents are information about "removing support for mass storage devices" by trashing certain files (IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext for USB and IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext for FireWire).
One caveat seems to be that these files may be restored through system updates, so you need to write a login script (script provided in Leopard PDF) to ensure they are removed or simply be aware of the issue when installing system updates.

11gR2 Real Time Apply / open read only

Hi,
I have a single instance primary database with a physical standby. The release is 11.2.0.1.0.
Max Availability mode
LGWR SYNC transport
Data Guard Broker configuration enabled
Both the primary and standby database are registered with the Grid Infrastructure (Standalone installation on each server, no cluster)
When I stop and start the standby database it seems to default to open read only using Managed Real Time Recovery.
SQL> SELECT DEST_ID, RECOVERY_MODE FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS
2> WHERE DEST_ID=2;
DEST_ID RECOVERY_MODE
2 MANAGED REAL TIME APPLY
I do not want to Active Data Guard on this particular database. So I removed and added the database again using srvctl this time supplying the -s mount flag. Now when I stop/start the standby it opens in mount mode and MANAGED recovery which is OK.
My question is why did the standby automatically get opened in read only. Is the a change in behaviour introduced along with Active Data Guard? Is the default behaviour for a database registered with Grid Infrastructure to simply start the database in open mode and becuase this is 11.2 standby this means open read only?
Thanks

Dear user234564,
This has been introduced in Oracle Database 11g Data Guard New Features and it is called the Active Data Guard. With the new release you can open the physical standby database in read only mode and the real time apply will continue as it is on the mount stage. This ability has not been granted on 10g. So i think it could be the normal behaviour.
11g physical standby database will be opened and the MRP process will still apply the archivelogs to the standby database. You can simply have it tested.
Please refer;
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/manage_ps.htm#CHDGJEFF
Let me give you a quick hint but it is off topic;
The number of standby databases that a primary database can support is increased from 9 to 30 in this release.
The capability to create 30 standby databases, combined with the functionality of the Oracle Active Data Guard option, allows the creation of reader farms that can be used to offload large scale read-only workloads from a production database.Hope That Helps.

Lifecycle issue with table binding + read-only attributes: ADF BUG

Hello all,
I have found what I believe to be an easily reproducible bug in ADF that reproduces in 10.1.3.x, but not in 11g (at least not in drop 6). The best way to describe the bug would be to walk through a simple set of steps to reproduce the bug:
1). Create a new application (ADF BC + ADF Faces).
2). In the model project, create a new Entity Object from the Employee table in the default HR schema. Allow JDev to create an updatable view object and an AM as well.
3). Put a validation rule on the first name attribute of the EO (can be anything, really - I made mine so that the first name cannot be "foo").
4). Test everything using the BC tester if you like.
5). In the UI project, create a new JSPX page.
6). Drag the updatable VO on to your page as an updatable af:table.
7). Put an af:commandButton on the page. Bind its Action or ActionListener to a method in a new backing bean. Put some simple code (I used System.out.println) in the backing bean method.
8). Run the jspx page.
9). Put some invalid data in (e.g. "foo" in the first name field) and click the af:commandButton. Verify that you get an error message and that the Action/ActionListener method DOES NOT fire. So far, so good.
10). Now, to demonstrate the problem. First, look at the page definition for the jspx file. Identify the first attribute that is mentioned (in my case, it was the employee id).
11). Go to the updatable view object and make the attribute from #10 read-only or updatable when new only.
12. Now, repeat step 9 - you should see the error message AND also see that the Action/ActionListener method was executed. You will also see in the messages window that ADF attempted to set the value of the read-only attribute, and thus got a ReadOnlyAttrException.
This issue only happens if the first attribute mentioned in the table binding is read-only. A workaround would simply be to re-order the attributes in the table binding of the pagedef so that the first attribute isn't read-only.
Don't ask how I figured this out ;)
Best,

Hi Frank,
Yes, I simply scripted it out this way to contrast the behaviour if the first attribute was read-only vs not read-only. I found the issue on a page in our app that was simply drag-and-drop the VO from the data control on the page.
It's quite annoying, because our particular use case that hit this error is a "save" button on the page. If the commit operation doesn't return any errors (and it doesn't in this use case!), we add a JSF message saying "save successful" - then the attribute errors are further added later in the page lifecycle, so we get 3 messages: "Save successful" and "Fix this error" and "Tried to set read-only attribute" - quite confusing to the end-user when the only message they should see is "fix this error."
At any rate, the fix is to simply re-order the attributes in the page definition - that doesn't affect the UI at all, other than to fix this issue.
