Email capture and knowing clients host

Hello
I have two totally novice questions.
1. My client has a domain name. Just because I can go to that url, does that mean he has a host? It's a pretty generic-looking placeholder.
2. This client needs a quick page up on which he can collect emails so those interested can recieve future info. Easiest way is to just create and email form, correct? What if he wants a form field labeled "enter your email for further updates?...and easy way to do this without having to hire a server side programmer?
TIA
Gretchen

1. Yes, he has a host.
2. Yes, a form is used to get people to send there email or other information. For a form to work you need the actual form which is created in html, and you need the processing script which is server-side. You can search and find companies on the web that will create the script for you, some for free, I know of PHP Form Wizard, which works fine, there are plenty of others out there.

Webutil usage on Windows and Unix clients - Host and Temp dir issues

Hello,
I am in the process of writing a Forms application which makes use of WebUtil to handle the uploading and downloading of files, as well as launching the files on the client PCs. The code below is my current 'Launch' program which works great in a Microsoft Windows environment. It gets the TEMP directory location, builds a file name, downloads the file to the TEMP directory and uses the Host command to launch the file.
PROCEDURE Launch_DB IS
l_directory varchar2(200) := client_win_api_environment.get_temp_directory(true);
l_success boolean;
BEGIN
:file_block.full_file_name := l_directory || '\' || :file_block.file_name;
l_success := webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_with_progress
(clientFile => :file_block.full_file_name
,tableName => 'FILES
,columnName => 'FILE_DATA'
,whereClause => 'ID = ' || :file_block.id
,progressTitle => 'Download from Database in progress'
,progressSubTitle=> 'Please wait'
if l_success then
WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C "' || :file_block.full_file_name || '"');
else
exception
when others then
message('File download failed: '||sqlerrm);
END;
My problem is that I've just discovered that there's a new group of users that will want access to these forms, and they're using non-windows machines - mostly Solaris and Linux. As such, I have these problems:
- " client_win_api_environment.get_temp_directory " is a Microsoft Windows specific function. Is there any way to determine a temporary storage area on a Unix machine?
- " WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C "' || :file_block.full_file_name || '"'); " - CMD is Microsoft Windows specific function. What should I do to launch a file from Unix? (Sorry, my Unix skills are pretty minimal).
- I'm guessing that I'll need to determine the operating system so that I can use different methods to determine the TEMP dir, and to execute the HOST command. Assuming that Microsoft Windows and Unix variants are the only OS's that I need to provide access to, what is the best way to determine the client environment ( eg. IF UPPER(WebUtil_ClientInfo.Get_Operating_System) like '%WINDOWS%' THEN ... ELSE ... END IF; ) . I only have access to Windows XP for testing so I don't know what values "WebUtil_ClientInfo.Get_Operating_System" will return for any other OS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards,
Michael.

Hi,
as far as launching the file goes, if teh program that runs the file exist on teh local computer, you can use teh host command in webutil to access teh program and file. CMD is what you use to open teh command line on windows, but the host command is supposed to work on the UNIX client as well.
For the temp directory, you have two options
The short term option: Pass the temporary directory name as a user variable to Forms when starting the application. This can be user specific if adding this information to the URL using teh otherparams parameter
The longterm option: Log a TAR with Oracle customer support to add a function to teh getClientInfo function that retruns the temporary directory for the authenticated user.

Open LMS Session from client host

Dear all,
i have a LMS application installed on a server X, the campus manager version is 3.2.
the application version is pretty old, but it is just working fine.
LMS is opening normally from the server itself.
My problem is that if i try to open Campus Manager/Topology services from a host different than the server itself a java screen opens mentioning trying to connect to ani server, and it just freeze and do not proceed. if i reopen from the server itself it works fine.
the server and the client host are on the same vlan, so no network access limitation exists.
Note: When i open the http request on LMS server from the client side, i authenticate and enter to the app normally but if i try to open the topology services or path analysis it do not proceed.
While checking the logs i found that it is like denying the Client Host name or IP Address.
please find log attached.

Dear Afroj,
Concerning the above mentioned debug steps; i don't find the option in the sequence on my server.
Point 1)      I can find LMSHomeScreen --> ServerConfiguration --> Setup --> ANI ServerAdmin --> DebuggingOptions
Point 2) & 3) I Select "Enable tracing on the selected modules". From the drop down list i check the "Trace enable" check box for the Module "topo".
       On the same page down, i check the "Record trace messages in log file", i enter the name and the path for the log file, C:\ANI_Debug
       And i press apply,
Point 4) & 5) From here i am not able to continue, there is no button to start debug nor under LMSHomeScreen --> ServerConfiguration --> Setup --> ANI Server        Admin --> Debugging Options nor under LMSHomeScreen --> Campus Manager --> Topology Services
There no path Campus Manager --> Admin
Point 6) How to run a new data collection?!
Point 7) if i enable "debugging" of java from control panel and i select to "show" java console, how to view Java Logs?
Thank you for your help

Someone has captured my email address and sending emails saying they are from me.

Someone has captured my email address and sending messages out to people in my address book making it look like they are from me. It's for an advertisement on a webpage. How do I get it to stop?
This has not happened to me in over 3 years when I switched to apple products.
Anyone that can help me clean this up. Most of the recipients that the link above is being sent to are simply deleting because they know if I was the one asking them to check out the link I would tell them first what it was about before they open it. There is NO message in the email JUST the website. This is frustrating for me...brings me back 3 years to anti-virus protection with Windows.
Thank you,
Bernie

You may have been infected by a Botnet:
Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.

My client wants me to setup email address through BC. Please can someone advise me how to obtain new email addresses and manage it through BC? And sorry if it's been asked before...

Sorry, I'm new to BC and need to establish the best way to obtain and use new email addresses for my client. The site is created in Adobe Muse and I wish to host it with BC. THANK YOU!

You need to be on an upgraded BC plan to at least a webMarketing plan to be able to set up email with it. I don't recommend the BC email anyways. Here is a blog article I wrote some time ago on getting around the BC email limitations.

Hi Apple support, my name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email account and I wish to know if 1. I can clean my email list of names and account with software and 2. How is it possible to delete emails that are still coming back

Hi! My name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email message to me which I opened unsuspecting any danger. Initially, he sent me an 'attention' or warning email with a link which I tried to open but it could not be opened, so I left it not knowing what it was all about at the time. Later, I received another email from him (probably the hacker) and opened a 'not very pleasant' web site. It did not twig with me at the time as I am a bit new to this type of thing but when I mentioned it to my wife she immediately said that I had been 'hacked'. By this time it was too late, and it infected all my email addresses! I would be grateful if you may know if there is software that I can use to clean up my email account and if there is anything for iPad minis that can prevent this happening in future? (Malware, Firewall?). I am also getting emails back that relate to the hacker and I cannot 'delete' them from my iPad, only on my PC! Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time regarding this matter,
Derek Turner,( a very new iPad mini user!)

Hi,
I don't think that can be solved by any advice the regular posters could post here.
I would go back to Apple and explain the situation (again).
I would also consider closing the account (Apple rarely seem to do this as accounts are never deleted but just closed).
I understand this may cause issues for things purchased in iTunes and the App Store which my include Restoring the OS at some point.

Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

My email account and facebook accounts have been compromised, how can I know if I have malware of a keylogger?

About 2 weeks ago my Yahoo email account and AIM email account had been compromised and the passwords changed. From what I was told/researched at the time, changing my passwords to more secure passwords was the best option.
I changed my passwords for the two accounts that had been compromised, and I even when as far to change my passwords for everything that I used frequently, and accounts that were tied to the email accounts, facebook, twitter, etc.
This morning at 12:28am (EST) my facebook was accessed by somebody other than me and my password changed. When I noticed this my first thought was to check to see if my email that I log in with was compromised. It had also underwent a password change.
Obviously the next thing I did was to try and change my passwords.
I had my AIM email send a change password form to my Yahoo email (which hasn't been tampered with this time) I followed the form and input a new password. After that, it brought me to a page where I was to enter the new password and sign in. When I input the new password it yet again said, "incorrect password or username". After I tried the new password a few more times it finally brought me to a screen saying basically that my account was locked due to suspicious activity and I still haven't been able to try and log in again.
I also can't access my Facebook account at all. I obviously can't send a new password to my email because I can't access it. Whenever I tried to send my info to an alternate email it wants me to answer a security question, and for some reason the answer I enter, which should be the correct answer, is said to be false.
Facebook offers another option of recovering your account by getting 3 friends to be sent security codes, I tried this method but it would never let me complete it because I locked my account. I locked my account after figuring out it was being tampered with. Whenever I try to get the security codes sent to 3 friends it ultimately leads me to a screen saying my account is locked and I need to sign in to unlock it, which is some major bull considering if I could log in I wouldn't need to be going through the process to begin with!
One friend has told me somebody maybe using some file to track my moves, a keytracker?
Is there anyway I can confirm that?
How can I get rid of it, how can I protect myself?
I've been using the internet almost daily since I was 8 years old, I'm now 20, this is the first of these kinds of problems I've ever had.
Protip: I run Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Whatever is going on, it's extremely unlikely to be malware of any kind. See my Mac Malware Guide.
As to what is going on, it's hard to say, but if someone is targeting you specifically, it's not that hard for an experienced person to do. It may not even require actual hacking... see the story of Matt Honan's hacking:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/
In short, his attacker managed to get access to Mr. Honan's Amazon account, which gave him access to the last 4 digits of Mr. Honan's credit card that was on file. That credit card was also on file with Apple, and those 4 digits were used to give him access to Mr. Honan's Apple ID. And from there all went to h***. No hacking required, just talking to folks on the phone and convincing them to do what the hacker wanted.
In addition, note that some kinds of accounts provide you with a way to give access to another person. For example, GMail provides a way to add someone else's account, giving them access to your e-mail. Hackers have been known to use such features to leave themselves hidden back doors, so they can keep getting in after you have changed the password. I don't know whether AIM or Yahoo have such features, but it's possible.
Finally, note that there are always possible issues with weaknesses in the servers. For example, right now, someone's selling an exploit kit for Yahoo mail. I don't know whether the vulnerability it relies on has been patched or not, but if it hasn't been, your attacker may be using that method to get access.
In any case, you need to address these issues with AIM, Yahoo and Facebook.

Report in PDF format and email it to some clients, using Database Trigger

Hi
Is it possible to run a report in PDF format ad email it to some clients after a specific event through Database Trigger. For example whenever a client makes an entry into order entry table (through entry form), a trigger should execute on Orders table, this trigger should execute or generate a PDF formatted report and finally mail it to Sales team?
I have
ORAS 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?

This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together.
