Disable Privacy Settings for Local Application

Hi,
Is there a configuration / policy file that can be used on a
user's local machine to disable the privacy settings dialog that
pops up asking "Allow / Deny" for a Microphone?
Our application is distributed on the client from an
installer that must be run with administrative rights, I need to
find a way to disable this from showing since the user is
implicitly allowing us access to their microphone; after all the
software is developed specifically for audio recording.
Thank you,
- Justin

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

  • How can I disable the Keychain for an application?

    How can I disable the Keychain for an application? A window pops up every time I open a page in Safari asking me for a password. I'm using a student laptop, so while I'm an administrator I lack access to a few things, such as the Keychain Access application. Is there any way to deal with this?

    It's possible you may be able to trick it by creating an Applications folder in your Home directory and moving Safari to it.
    I can't test this but it might work. The problem is that you would miss Safari updates, so you'd have to keep an eye out for them. Another solution may be to download another Safari and install in yourname/Applications.

  • Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

    My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
    At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
    I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • How can I edit the privacy settings for my daughters Apple ID.

    My daughter has forgotten her privacy settings. She has $80 in credit and would like to use them. How can she edit her privacy settings?

    What do you mean by 'privacy settings' ?
    If you mean the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode on her iPad then was it on the iPad when she last backed up ? If not then she can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when she last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and she can then re-sync your content back to her iPad - she won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
    If you mean the answers to her security questions, then if she has a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on her account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on her account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If she doesn't have a rescue email address (she won't be able to add one until she can answer her questions) then sher will need to contact Support in her country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if she doesn't already have a rescue email address) sher can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    If you mean something else ... ?

  • Allowing Global Security Settings for Local Flash Content

    Hi all,
    We have developed one e-learning course for our client. This
    course will be deployed on the CD; that means it will run locally.
    This CD will be dstributed to thousands of users. In this scenario
    I am currently suffering from the Global Security Settings issue as
    this project uses Fscommand to communicate with the javascript. We
    can set the Global Security mannually but it is not feasible to ask
    client to mannaully set the Security Settings to "always" as there
    are thousands of users viewing this course locally.
    I have tried setting "always" value to allowScriptAccess
    property of the Object/embed tag in the html but it does not work
    where the browser Security Settings are kept as "High".(I think
    this is the reason)
    So what will be the workaround for this issue?
    Please reply me if you gone through this problem and found
    any workaround.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Popocatepelt,
    Glad to hear that worked for you….
    Local Access Only allows the published SWF file to interact
    with files on the local system, but not on the network. Access
    Network Only lets the published SWF file interact with files and
    resources on the network, but not on the local system.
    For more info take a look at the following

  • How to disable network connections for an application

    Hi to all,
    I would like to know if there is any way a user can disable network connections for a specific application.
    Thank you,
    Xwang

    Yes, but I would like to block only a specific application, not all the traffic from the PC.
    I've found this "solution" which uses iptables on the net:
    "Add a group to your system (I use nonet myself), then add a rule to your output chain like this: -A OUTPUT -m owner --gid-owner nonet -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-net-unreachable Run the program for which you know in advance that you want to block, with sg (sg nonet "your_prog your_args")."
    Do you think is it right?
    Another suggestion was to use unshare to call the program disabling the net for that program only.
    The problem is that unshare is runnable only by root so, in case, I should turn on its setuid flag in order to execute the program as a normal user, but I don't know if it is safe to do that.

  • Adobe flash player settings for local storage not available on menu.

    The right-click menu for Flash Player does not show the icon for local storage and I can't save online games. Only settings for 'display', 'microphone', and 'camera' show.

    The root cause is that the anti-clickjacking logic in our dialog is throwing a false positive (it thinks the dialog is obscured or otherwise tampered with).  This happens a lot with videos when pixels are moving behind the dialog.
    The easiest way to solve this is to just allow local shared objects.
    Go to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage and select Allow sites to store information on this computer.

  • GPO for changing privacy settings for Internet Zone

    Hi I want to change the privacy setting for the Internet Zone from Medium to Low. Can't seem to find the right location in the GP. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

    Hi,
    If we want to change the privacy setting for the Internet Zone from Medium to Low via Group Policy, please navigate to
    User Configuration - Windows Settings - Internet Explorer Maintenance – Security
    in GPMC. On the right-pane, please double-click Security Zones and Content Ratings. On the dialog box, we should choose "Import the current security zones and privacy settings" under
    Security Zones ad Privacy and click Modify Settings
    to modify the level.
    The article Ravikumar provided is very useful to us for configuring the settings via Group Policy, please also refer to it.
    Regards,
    Andy
    Using IE maintenance is the old way which I don´t recommend when implementing IE9 or newer. I wonder, why there is no way to configure this with traditional GPO?

    Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
    created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion 
    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested.

  • Apps have no access to photos and do not show up in privacy settings for me to change it!

    Hey Everyone I really could use some help! Ok so I recently got sent a replacement iphone 4 in the mail. I backed up the old iphone 4 and transfered that information over to the new one NO PROBLEM. I downloaded my apps no problem either BUT here is my question. My apps such as facebook, twitter, and instagram do not have access to my photos. When i go to settings > privacy > photos NONE of the apps show up and they also dont show up under anything else in the privacy part like contacts for snapchat to use (which doesnt work either). My restrictions are enabled and my photos and everything else under there are selected to ALLOW changes. I have tried resetting the location and privacy as well and still the apps will not show up under privacy so I can give them access. Its very frustrating to not be able to use the apps. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! Also i have tried deleting and reinstalling the apps that hasnt worked either
