Controlling Access to Build In Camera & Microphone

Is there a way to control which application has access to the build in camera and microphone?
Thanks in advance
Jim

Thanks for your reply, Leopard Pagan, but my question goes into another direction: What if an application does make use of the build in camera without telling my so as to spy on me, for example?
I know there is a small light that is supposed to warn me that the camera is on. But it might be overlooked or nobody is sitting in front of the computer or maybe it can be turned off while the camera is still on.
So, what I am looking for basically is a way to control which application can make use of the camera/microphone, and I have'nt found one yet. Maybe there is none at the time, but then hopefully someone finds one soon.
Regards
Jim

Controlling access to build in iSight/microphone

I hate to say I told you so, but considering some of the answers I got on my original posting (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=426480&tstart=0) I can not but say "I told you so" ...
Fact 1: security update 2006-008
Fact 2: exploit demo
My question is not answered yet: How do I control which applications/processes accesses my iSight/microphone? As far as I can tell, Apple provides no way for that ...

Apps do not have access to camera,microphone, anything. Went to settings and selected the app but the option to allow access to these things aren't there.

Did you go to Settings/Privacy and check the apps listed?

Hi,
You can try a package named: JTwain, which is available at http://asprise.com/product/jtwain.
JTwain supports all kinds of digital cameras and scanners. You can use Java to access, contorl digital cameras and scanners, and of course, to acquire images with flexible settings.
The developers' guide is available @ http://asprise.com/product/jtwain/devGuide.php
In the simplest case, one line of Java code can solve your problem.
Good luck!

Parental Controls, iPhoto and a USB camera

Is there a way of setting up Parental Controls under Tiger to allow access to a USB camera so that the child can use iPhoto?
Really should have thought about this before Christmas

Would using a camera memory card reader to transfer the pics (instead of connecting the camera) make things easier?

Remote control of the built in camera

Hi
New to this forum. I would like to know if an Imac Intel Core 2 has the ability (built in or via free software) to allow it's internal camera and microphone to be turned on/off from a remote source by a MacBook Pro. via internet? If so, are there security hazards to be addressed? This would be handy on vacation to monitor the homestead.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
iChat can be one way of doing this.
It has an Auto Answer Feature.
I would recommend using Chax (An iChat Add-on) that can restrict this to certain Buddies. (Watch the Download Link as there are different versions for Different OS/iChat Versions)
You would need two Valid Screen Names for this.
See also the Nanny Cam section at the bottom of this page
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
This suggests EvoCam which is an App that can upload pics to a Web Site (the Web Site can be on the Home Mac)
In Leopard and Snow Leopard there is a Stand Alone Screen Sharing app (normally Invoked in the Go Menu > Go to Server with VNC://(plus IP Number) as the format.
You then get access to all the apps the Logged in user has Access to and Any Camera able app can be fired up.
Also search for VNC apps.
Both iChat and the Stand alone Screen Sharing App are based on the Apple Remote Desktop Engine.
The iChat Method requires the least Networking knowledge.

I can't access my photos in camera roll.

I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

WebDynpro accessing custom-build EJB applications

Hi there,
I have a query regarding WebDynpro accessing custom-build applications deployed on web-logic server and J2EE servers.Following is the scenario.
There is central authentication mechanism deployed in J2EE server. GUI users (in EP) have to be authenticated through this application(EJB).
In EP, this remote call would happen through the WebDynpro. After successful authentication, calls will be sent to another Weblogic server.
Too many remote calls. How about the scalability & performance factors with WebDynPro?

HI,
Webdynpro and EP are almost same except coustomisation coming to picture in EP, why do you want webdynpro to EP to web logic, Just crate your UI in dynpro convert them to Iviews in EP through EP call wenlogic server/J2ee server i hope there will not be any hindarence to scalability or perfomance.
when it comes to remote calls after all your going to call weblogic through EP but dynpro UI will be as an Iview
I hope it helps you
in case if you need further details let me know
Regards

Custom Google Map Widget Control for Guide Builder

Hi,
I would like to build a custom control for Guide Builder. This custom control will basically wraps around the Google Map control (provided by Google api for Flex/as3). This custom map control can then be used as part of Guide Builder when building the guides.
I am not sure how to go about doing this, or if this is at all possible. I just want to get an idea before I attempt to do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nelson

I'm still looking for help on this one, anybody? Thanks.

Control Access in Message Monitoring

Can I control access to payload within PI-Message-Monitoring? The topic has been discussed already: How to Control Access To Payload
By using the "S_XMB_MONI-authorization-object" I can protect access to payload for certain messages, regardless of viewing it with Transcation "SXMB_MONI" or with "RuntimeWorkbench";
For me it is not clear, whether the "S_XMB_MONI-authorization-object" does only affect messages within the Integration-Server, or does it also work for messages in adapter-engine-message-monitoring? I mean, when using "Runtime-Workbench --> Message-Monitoring --> AdapterEngine..."?
Regards, Josef

Hi,
It works only for SXMB_MONI (ABAP stack), user on adapter engine can still see payload.
One hint I can give you to explore further, authorization on RWB are controlled by Visual Admin, you can explore something there to block user to view payload on RWB.
I am exploring it and will update you.

Is following message due to 'Java' setting left unchecked? Mac OSX supportsUser Authentication Mechanism (UAM) plug - ins from other manufacturers to control access to servers.To use a UAM, copy the plug - in to: Library/ Filesystems/ AppleShare/ Authenti

Is following message due to 'Java' setting left unchecked?
Mac OSX supportsUser Authentication Mechanism (UAM) plug - ins from other manufacturers to control access to servers.To use a UAM, copy the plug - in to: Library/ Filesystems/ AppleShare/ Authenti

Man that is an ancient message.
The last time I saw that was using Mac clients connected to a Microsoft (Windows) Server running 'Services for Macintosh' which included the ability to act as an AppleShare compatible file server. Because Microsoft have a different security system for defining accounts which includes the 'domain' as well as username, the standard Mac AFP client did not know how to send that information.
Therefore Apple made it possible to installed a plugin in the form of a UAM or User Authentication Mechanism which added the ability to send this information to login to the fileserver.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/101747
However Microsoft have long discontinued 'Services for Macintosh' and now the only way for a Mac to connect to a standard Windows Server is via SMB not AFP. I don't believe this plugin is available to download anymore.

Pendyala

Hi,
check whether your xi server is working fine or is it down. If you are not able to open the integration builder, what is the exact error message you are getting.
How are you trying to open your IB.
Are you able to login to SAPGUI for the XI client.
If so try to provide the tcode sxmb_ifr and check whether you are able to open the IB.

Welcome to Discussions, john cristobal
For any iSight problems, first try restarting the Mac. If the problems persist, try all relevant suggestions from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your iSight problem still occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
However, if your built-in iSight still does not work after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, and if iSight does not show as a USB hardware device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
