Do In need to manually disable JAVA in LION to protect from FlashBack?

Do I need to manually disable JAVA in a new installation of LION to protect from FLASHBACK or does it install with JAVA disabled by default?

It's disabled by default. But that's assuming a new installation or on a new Mac.
It's easy enoug to double check in Safari>Preferences>Securtity.
Also, double check Java prefernces systme wide by launching the Java Preferences from the Utilities folder inside the Applications.
If it asks you to first install Java then click Not Now. If it does open prefernes, make sure they are unchecked in the General tab.
Here's a good overview that OSX Daily published a while back.

I need to call a java program and pass parameters from C#

I'm new to C# and was given a project to rewrite some of my old VB.net programs to C# to help me learn. These VB programs call quite a few .bat files that have calls to java programs in them. I'm doing okay converting my VB code, but I've been
stumped for days trying to figure out how to call java from C#.
Does anyone here know how to do this? I really should've had this figured out by now and my back is to the wall. Ugh :(
This is the line from the .bat file that I need to convert to C#.
call jvbat production_r115.Automotive m:\data\MK115mn.100 m:\data\MK115mn.101 %6
There is one parameters being passed, %6
I would be forever grateful if someone can show me how to do this!

Hi Joni,
Do you mean call a bat file that it is a Java program from C#? If so, there is an article talking about it.
If that's not what you're trying to do, please be more specific about what you're trying to do.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/maheswararao/CallingJavaProgramfromCS12062005233321PM/CallingJavaProgramfromCS.aspx
Now the next issue is pass some parameters from C#.
The above article tells using Process.Start() method to call java program. Also in this class, you could specify them all in the
Arguments property:
var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", argument1, argument2);
For more detailed information, please refer to
C# Passing Multiple Arguments to BAT File

Should I disable Java?

See this article in the Sydney Morning Herald. I've seen nothing in the UK press about this weakness. Why weren't we told of this by Apple? I fear the overwhelming rush for profits is blurring the Apply/Customer relationship. Maybe its time to move on......

If you don't need it, and odds are you don't, turn it off. You can disable in the browser you are using and/or more globally using the Java Preferences too (in Utilities), General tab (uncheck the checkboxes).

SNMP need ot be disable so the printers can show online

I have an old question:
I had to disable SNMP in printer port configurations so the printers can be not offline.
Why and what caused these issues? We have tons of printer devices , only few are shown offline and need to manually disable SNMP in the tcp port settings to make them online.

Hi,
Please make sure that you have the same SNMP configuration on the printer device with what you have on the port used on the print server.
Also, make sure that the SNMP community name is "public".

I have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 and have installed all updates and disabled Java Applets. Do I need to put virus protection on this computer and, if so, any recommendations?

I have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 and have installed all updates and have disabled Java Applets. Do I need to install antivirus software and, if so, do you have a recommendation on what works best.

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware that affects a fully-updated installation of Mac OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Migrate to a newer version of the Mac OS as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav — nothing else.

On YouTube, I can't play playlists there. It says I need to update my Java and it is updated already. When I go to different sites like Yahoo! the links and images are all distorted. This is the second time this has happened to me now

Hello Firefox,
I am having problems with my Firefox's image processor I believe. My web browser is fine but then a few minutes later I get some weird look on my page. It then just stays here and I can't fix it. When I go to Yahoo all the links and images do not look normal. I really cannot explain this and wish I could send a picture instead. When I go to the Log in page for Facebook I do not see the image of the small faces networking around the world. It's blank and the links are widely spread apart. With YouTube the page is also distorted. Nothing is arranged properly. I can watch videos. However when I go to someone's profile or a playlist videos cannot play or show up. It says I need to update my Java player and it is already updated. It still happens when I uninstall and re install back. I was only able to fix this problem by uninstalling everything related to Firefox. I do not know how to solve this any other way. I don't like it when all my information is lost such as saved passwords and bookmarks. If there is any way to solve this thanks. I don't want to uninstall this again.

How do I disable Java on Mac OS X 10.5.8

Do I need to and how do I disable Java??

If you do not require Java it is best to leave it disabled in Safari and any other browser you may use.
In Safari, make Safari Preferences look like this:
Your version of Safari for Leopard may look a little different, but find the checkbox for "Enable Java" and un-check it.
JavaScript is unrelated to Java and you may leave it enabled.
Also, if you have a Java Runtime installed, disable it. To do that go to your Utilities folder and open Java Preferences.
If you see the following dialog box
... then click Not Now and you're finished.
If you see the following instead
... then un-check that box.

Firefox 9 -will disabling Java cripple my IE7 browswer? WinXP SP2

Currently have Firefox 3.6 installed, Win XP SP2. Also use IE7. I want to have both browsers on my system. They offer different advantages. There are many sites that will not operate on one or the other. I just started downloading the FireFox 9.0.1 version. Up popped a message that all my Java files are incompatible with the new Firefox ; it wants to disable them until some future date when (and if) they are made compatible with Firefox! I presume this means I cannot install Firefox 9. If it disables all my Java files for FireFox, will it disable it for Internet Explorer 7, too? Most current program installed is the Java 6 update 23 environment.
Also, the Firefox download is a big file. (The current version takes up only 21.29 mb) The set up executable is 14 mb! I use dial-up connection. The new features are dubious anyway. I won't use and will seek to disable many of the new features in v. 9 anyways.
So, should I not install version 9? Will it disable my IE 7 browser?

That message is not about the Java plugin that runs the applets, but about Java Console extensions that are no longer supported.
The Java plugin that you see in "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" is used to run Java applets. 
You only need the Java Console extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you want to check and debug Java applets. 
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. 
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets. 
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
You can also disable the Java Quick Starter extension if you have it.

Work Flow for Manually Disabling Account and Reporting on Disabling Account

Hi All
THis is my First Time To Create Work Flow for Idm Project Please Help me
i want Work Flow for Manually Disabling Account and Reporting on Disabling Accounts
Please Tell me How I will have to start, to create the code, I know how to configure but may be I will use BPEL or Through Netbeans and plugin I will use.
please provide me sample code, so that I can start workflow work

Thats configurable buddy ! ! And possible in 10G and 11G both versions.
Functional Roles : These are the groups/roles in OIM 10g/11g with access policies attached at the backend.
- Create a dummy resource and name it Request Role or anything as you like. Attach an Object Form to it and have form field for Role Name, this would be a lookup type field linked to all OIM groups (leave system values using lookup query). So a user can select any OIM Group in this request as per configuration. Have approval workflows defined on this dummy resource Request Role and in its Provisioning Process make user/s a part of the requested group.
- Now once the user is made a part of the group, the associated access policy would be invoked automatically and thereby provisioning. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that create the access policy without approval (there is a check box). If you do this the approvals would never be invoked even if you assign a group manually to the user coz it suppresses all the approvals in this access policy.
IT Roles : These would be linked to the resource and you can define individual approvals on the resources as required.These approvals would be required if someone raises a request for these resources individually.
Thanks

Do we need to manually deploy the application at all region if we want to use Traffic Manager

Hi Team,
I am little confused before I want to start work on Azure Traffic Manager.
Actually I have one site at East US. now I want to use Traffic Manager. so, I probably need to deploy the site on different region. take an example we deploy on East Asia and West US.
Now, we have same site deployment at 3 region. we can setup traffic manager based on loan balance/ round robin/ failover.
But the question here is Do we need to deploy the same site at all 3 region manually (one-by-one).
Through Visual Studio or FTP, we need to keep that deployment whenever we keep updating the site? Support we have little complex scenario where we create 3 traffic managers based on their each type (like load balance, round robin and failover) at top we
have 1 traffic manager where we have these 3 configured. each of these might have site in 3 different region then probably we will have around 1 same site at-least around 9 region.
So, whenever we have any changes, we need redeploy that on each region one by one?
Regards, Brijesh Shah

Hi Brij,
Traffic Manager is separate from the underlying sites. So yes, you will need to manage the deployment of those sites separately from Traffic Manager. How easy or difficult that is depends on what kind of site you are using (PaaS? IaaS?
Websites?) and how it is architected (is there a back-end database?)
Traffic Manager supports the ability to enable/disable endpoints, which allows you to easily divert traffic away from a particular site whilst it is being updated.

Can't disable Java

I recently installed Photoshop 5.1 on my MacBook Air (OSX Mavericks10.9.4). When I started up Photoshop I got the well-known Software update message “to open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 app, you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install this?” I did the install and Photoshop started up fine. Unfortunately there is no possibility now to disable Java. There used to be a preference panel under earlier OS X versions, but this can no longer be found in Mavericks. Neither in the Utility folder nor in the System Preferences folder. Also the "disable Java" option in Safari > preferences > security is gone. (Not to be confused with "enable Javascript")
Any suggestions?

This is a bug [http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6777033]

Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do

Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do

Hi,
I had the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite. Illustrator CS6 wouldn't open. I got a message saying I should 'install legacy Java SE6 runtime'.
The link didn't work - it lead to a blank page.
So I downloaded Java8 (latest version) from Oracle but didn't install it. Something told me this was not the right way to go (the problem was with Java SE6, not 8). I then called Apple (in the Netherlands, were I live) for help. I got none. The best they could do was blaming Adobe for the problem or me, for not having the latest Adobe CC app. Rubbish.
And then, magic. I tried to open Illustrator again, got the pop up message but this time the link worked. It took me to an official Apple page, with a link to download Java for OS X 2014-001. The problem is now solved.
If curious, this is the explanation Apple gives for the problem:
'Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005. On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 or later, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'missing plug-in' to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.'

How to disable Java from OS X

Need help as to removing Java from iMac & MacBook-Pro.

There are rumors of another vulnerability that has not yet been fixed. See:
Did Java just fall down again?!
Because of the numerous times that Java vulnerabilities have been discovered and exploited over the last year, I definitely recommend disabling Java in your web browser if at all possible. If you haven't installed Java on Mac OS X 10.8, you don't have Java, so you're safe. However, if you have, you should disable Java in your web browser. That alone is sufficient protection.
Note that running in a non-admin account will not protect you! All that will do is prevent certain types of infection, but a lot of recent Mac malware has used techniques that do not require admin access. Flashback, for example, was fully capable of infecting a standard user account through a Java exploit, without needing the user to do anything at all.
Also, note that there have been some recommendations to use ClickToPlugin to block Java... however, if you read that plugin's site carefully, you'll note that it cannot block all Java applets, and is thus not good protection against Java exploits.

HT5244 Re OS x v10.5 or earlier. This article still does not answer my question. Is the malware still active after I disable Java?

I have a PowerBook G4 that I would like to use exclusively for my online banking. It may be infected with the Flashback malware virus. If I disable Java, will this effectively block the malware? Or must I completely remove the malware from my computer?

You need to remove the malware. Java is only used to inject the code.
I didn't think the flashback stuff was for G4's.
But if it was, first look in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents since that was one of the more common injection points (not the only one).
Look here for a cookbook of some other places to look.
