CSD Browser Helpers Question

Hi,
I am currently working with secure desktop to create a secure environment for external people to login to our network. This requires access to a citrix environment though. The problem with this is that the user is not allowed to use any programs of their own pc but they should be allowed to run programs in the citrix environment.
Now in the cisco documentation it says this :
Restrict application usage to the web browser only—Check to let only the originating browser and
any browser helpers you specify run on Secure Desktop. Choosing this option limits the user's ability
to use other applications.
Does this mean that you cannot do anything except run things such as : word/excel/visio/java/flash/ programs you can natively run in IE, or does this mean that this actually allows you to use external programs as well?
I have tested this to allow wordpad via the following commands :
C:\program files\windows NT\wordpad.exe
c:\program files\windows NT
wordpad.exe
This did not allow me to run wordpad in citrix in the CSD environment. I did though, also add the windowsmediaplayer plugin and this did work.
Now my question is : are browser helpers the plugins of your browser or are they actualy programs?
Thank you
p.s.      For CSD Config file :
            http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/csd/csd36/configuration/guide/CSD36cfg.pdf
          Page 6-10

Have i placed this in the wrong thread or is there nobody with any knowledge on Secure Desktop?

  • File Browse Item questions..

    Hi all..
    Please help me with these questions on ""file_browse"" item.
    I have a file browse item on a page, like in the following app.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=62812:1
    1) when the user select a file with the browse button,we will get the
    """file path""" in the text field.
    Is it possible to validate (via javascript or any other way), whether that particular
    ""file path"" is correct and a valid file exist as per the ""file path""??The reason for this validation is, sometime our users will copy the ""file path"" instead of using the
    file browse button.
    2) http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=62812:1
    If users enter a valid path, but on that particular page if i have any validations,
    If any of the validations fails, it is clearing of the ""file path"" that the user entered.
    Is it possible to retain the ""file_path"" that the users entered? even if any validations fail?EX: In the following page
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=62812:1
    Please
    i)select a valid file from the ""file browse"" item and
    ii)""dont select any select list "" value
    iii) click upload.
    validation will get fired and file path get cleared.
    Thanks

    fac..just curious to know, what security issue do any one get , if file browse item keeps the ""file path"" they previously selected..The issue is not the server keeping the file "previously selected", but maliciously changing the value to capture a file the user does not intend to submit (e.g /etc/passwd) when the invalid page is resubmitted.
    so every time, when some validation fails, ""user need to reselect that file"".??For their own safety, yes.
    even it is in session state.. for a common user,he feels that it got cleared out and need to ""reselet "" the file again..It's a good practice to clean up any submitted files in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES should any related validations fail.
    Is there any other alternative for this issue? or It is (file browse item) just how it behaves?To ensure a secure and safe web environment it's how it's got to behave.
    Good UI design can be used to minimize the impact on users by isolating file browse items on different pages to items that are prone to validation failure, through the use of multi-page wizards etc.

  • Jbutton to open a htm file in browser - simple question

    not sure where to look for this, but its a simple question
    I just want to get a jbutton (from a jFrame)to open a local htm page eg:
    When pressing the button open:
    C:\Documents and Settings\****\My Documents\profile.htm
    - Open this with any browser
    any pointers to look in the right direction, couldn't find it with search
    I dont want to use a JEditorPane to display the htm, just open any browser
    Edited by: Mr_Tuition on Dec 7, 2007 3:40 AM

    I also wont be able to use it to open an local file which will be set up differently on each computer:
    C:\\Documents and Settings\\***\\My Documents\\JavaProjX\\Preview\\profile.htmI want to use just: Preview\\profile.htm so it opens from the same location with different users, but
    try { Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE Preview\\profile.htm");}
         catch(IOException e) { System.out.println("could open IE");}opens: http://preview/profile.htm (incorrect location)
    I have just found I can use System.getProperty("user.dir"); to get the location of my program (i think)

  • Where to Browse Current Questions Most Easily?

    I used to come to discussions frequently and go to the Mac OS sections, the iMac sections and the iPhone sections and look around to see if there were any questions I could help with. Lately, and I mean for the last many, many months since the discussions have been reformatted, I have pretty much been sitting on the sidelines. I just cannot find a "place" to browse the current questions easily in a subject area of my choosing. I'm sure I'm missing out on something very basic but can someone give me a few tips on how to get back into answering a few questions every now and then? It just seems like there is no central place to go. I miss participating. I just need a bit of direction I guess. Thanks.
    Steve M.

    There is probably a cleverer way of doing it but I have bookmarked discussions in the forums which interest me in my browser.

  • Browser window question

    Hello.
    When using iTunes I like having the browser window open at all times -- the one at the top with the three columns for genre, artist, and album.
    This works fine for my computer-based iTunes library, but EVERY time I try to look at the sons on my iPod it defaults back to just a list. This happens even just exiting the iTunes application and restarting -- I don't have to disconnect and reconnect the iPod for it to happen.
    So my question is how can I make the iPod song list view work like my computer song list, where the browser window is always there?
    Thanks much,
    ALF

    That's too bad because it used to work the way I'm wanting.
    And I can activate the browser window when looking at the iPod -- it just won't STAY that way between successive launches of the iTunes application.

  • Open Browser behavior question

    Hi, does anyone know if its possible to control the placement
    of the window that pops up using the open browser behavior. I'm
    doing a catalogue, and I would like that when you press a thumbnail
    the popup window pops up to a specified size to the left of the
    thumbnail. Any suggestions? Thanks

    The DW open browser doesn't have the option to positions
    popups. You can use
    our open browser window which does, and has more features as
    well. It's
    free.

  • Opera Mobile/Mini is the best mobile Browser-no question.It runs on Galaxy Y Why can't firefox do this instead of complaining of the phone's RAM?

    Firefox for desktop is the best-I agree and I love it above any another browser. but to keep this rep in place Mozilla will have to make it's mobile browsers compatible with every gadget with an average performance like Opera has done.
    Firefox for android sucks-''FOR NOW''

    The Galaxy Y was the cheapest of the Galaxy line up when it came out as it is basically a budget smartphone and has a older ARMv6 (as ARMv7 is required) and only 290MB of Ram when 512+ is recommended.
    Mozilla is looking to try and do experimental ARMv6 builds again like the experimental example linked above however the ARMv6 builds can be slower, larger and unstable due to ARMv6 not supporting what ARMv7 can.

  • Browser column question

    I know that there is an "In" and "Out" column for each clip, but is there another way to have FCP automatically tell you if a clip is used in the timeline (like DVDSP does)? I have dozens of jpegs that I need to use and I want to be able to make sure I am using them all and not twice. Couldn't find anything in the manual.
    Thanks.
    Jonathan

    No, there's way to do exactly what you want.
    You can do a search for clips used in the Selected Sequences via a Find command, but that falls short of what you'd need (no way to track dupes, for example) and search results don't match back to the Browser.
    Because of the way that FCP is built, I don't believe this is possible - as a hypthetical Used function would have multiple values (just think about how it would bloat every time you copy a sequence) and probably wouldn't have much benefit.

  • IE Browser Settings questions

    We came across some internal documentation that recommends setting the IE browser to check for a new page at every visit.
    Is there an Oracle preferred setting for the browser when accessing PLM4P or is it ok to have set to check each time?

    answered via email to customer alternate contact.

  • Open Browser Window questions

    Okay, I'm deferring to my DW book on how to open a new
    browser window to a set size. It works fine, I understand the code
    and all things function as they should.
    BUT...
    There is no longer that cute, little hand that pops up to
    tell the viewer, 'HEY, click here'. This is new turf for me and I
    know it shouldn't be difficult. Help?
    Cheers!
    Wordman

    This symptom means that you have mistakenly applied the
    behavior directly to
    the image, rather than to an anchor wrapping the image. To
    fix this, select
    the image, and enter "javascript:;" in the Link field of the
    Property
    inspector. Press Tab to set the link. Then apply the behavior
    to that
    anchor tag.

  • Tabbed Browsing - Two Questions

    Greetings,
    Using RX7, I would like to create a Web Help project. The
    launch page would show the name of the help file and tabs accross
    the top (similar to the Copperfield Publshing site) for navigation
    purposes.
    Is this possible to develop with RH7? If so, where can I get
    information regarding the required coding to implement this
    feature?
    Your assistance is appreaciated,

    I can still update all app in the App Store app via the Updates tab - I can't remember exactly what it looks like (and I don't currently have any updates so I can't check), but I think that there is an 'update all' button at the top of the screen on the Updates tab .
    In terms of Safari, on iOS 5 it now uses tabbed browsing, the thumbnail/page browsing no longer exists. You can open new tabs via the '+' to the right of the tab bar, and you can close the current tab via the 'x' on the left of the tab (unless you only have one tab open). I think that the iCab Mobile (?) browser might support thumbnail/page browsing. If you want thumbnails back in Safari (or the choice of them) then you can try leaving feedback and maybe in a future release it'll happen : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • RE-PHRASING BROWSER VIEW QUESTION

    Can you suggest a way to center the site in the browser
    window at all times. I am using GO LIVE,6.o but might also learn
    from the setting used in Dreamweaver. Thanks so much.
    artsockeye

    It depends on whether you are using absolute positioning on
    the page, as to
    which method might be best, but in either event, this will
    work -
    Change this -
    </head>
    to this -
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    body { text-align:center; }
    #wrapper { text-align:left; width:760px; margin:0
    auto;position:relative; }
    /* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
    window without */
    /* horizontal scrollbars. You may need to adjust this value
    to suit your
    particular layout.*/
    -->
    </style>
    </head>
    change this -
    <body ...>
    to this -
    <body ...>
    <div id="wrapper">
    and this -
    </body>
    to this -
    <!-- /wrapper -->
    </div>
    </body>
    and see if that helps.

  • Browser Keystores question

    Hi all,
    Does any one know how to configure Java Plugin 6 to use the Firefox kesystore either in Windows or in Linux environments?
    I installed and configured 'JSS' based on the information available at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/deployment-guide/keystores.html
    but still the plugin is not using the keys from Firefox keystore.
    I follow the steps as follow from the URL:
    Linux / Solaris
    1. Create jss directory under Mozilla's installed directory.
    2. Copy JSS JAR file into the jss directory.
    3. Copy JSS native library .so into Mozilla's installed directory.
    4. Set environment variable MOZILLA_HOME to Mozilla's installed directory in Mozilla's launch script.
    5. Change environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include Mozilla's installed directory in Mozilla's launch script.
    How can I tell if my Mozilla load the JSS library? I run the command "strace -o /tmp/check -f firefox",
    I see in file /tmp/check load up libjss4.so : open("...libjss4.so/tls/i686/...libX11.so.5 ...)
    I download libjss4.so from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/jss/releases/JSS_4_2_5_RTM/Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/lib/libjss4.so
    and jss4.jar from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/jss/releases/JSS_4_2_5_RTM
    My firefox 's version is 3.6.10
    My machine is Linux 2.6.9-89
    Can anyone provide any tips on getting JSS working for to allow access from a JAVA application to the Firefox keystore in order to access to a mutual authenticate SSL server ?
    Thanks very much

    Dear sir/madam ,
    i am currently working on PKI PLUGIN ... i needed to access NSS through jss... i m not getting how to use JSS in java(how to install it) .. I have added classpath as jss4.jar in netbeans and i m getting the following error for this code:

  • Browsing History Question:

    I regularly clear out the cache in Safari, yet today I used a search facility at a website which, as soon as I typed in the first letter of my enquiry, listed a whole log of stuff I thought had been deleted dozens of times over.
    Can anyone explain how my computer can be 'interrogated in' this way and how I can prevent it, please?
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    This data is not held in the cache, it is in a file found at <username>/Library/Safari called "Form Values".
    Go to Safari preferences and deselect Other forms in the Autofill pane if you don't want Safari to remeber these things.
    You can individualy delete remembered data on a per site basis using the buttons in the same pane.

  • Browser compatability questions

    Can someone please look at my site and tell me what I am
    doing wrong.
    In IE it looks correct. I have the main content in a master
    div container..it has a background image that is black hrz stripes.
    On the body I am using css to add a gray background of similar
    texture.
    When I look at the site on Safari or Fire Fox... the body
    background is the entire page, main content container and all.
    In addition, it is ignoring the auto width css that centers
    the site on the background.
    I am a new designer. I appreciate anyone's help. Thank you in
    advance.
    my site

    Your page code is a bit off. For example, you have this link
    within the
    body -
    <link href="index-files/styles_apx73.css" type="text/css"
    rel="stylesheet"/>
    <ul id="vbUL_rpx73" class="vbULapx73"
    style="visibility:hidden;">
    but links to external stylesheets that occur between
    <body> and </body> are
    ignored, so none of the rules that are contained within that
    stylesheet
    would be expressed on the page.
    Then you have this in your main CSS stylesheet -
    body {
    margin:0px;
    background-image:url(../images/backgrnd/grey-hrz-100x100.png);
    But the stylesheet and the page are both already at the root
    of the site, so
    it's not possible to follow that link to the image by going
    up one directory
    level.
    Also, you have several instances like this in your main CSS -
    margin:5px, 8px, 0px, 0px;
    There are no commas allowed between these values.
    But as to why the center alignment is not working, I'm
    baffled. It should
    be, but clearly it's not! Hmmm...
