File Security

I'm looking for a application that will allow me to encrypt a folder and its contents. I have several documents that I would like to secure without encrypting my entire account or computer. Any suggestions?

There are two options you have with OS X, File Vault and Disk Utility. In order to use File Vault you have to have at least double the space you are encrypting.
With Disk Utility you can make an encrypted disk image. There is a 3rd party app called Knox. There may be cheaper options out there, but I have not had any problems with it. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26510

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.

Disable "Open File Security Warning"

Hi whenever I try to open a file from the local hardrive I get the "Open File Security Warning" asking me whether I want to open the file or not. This is getting rather annoying. I searched online but everything I found seems to be dealing with network shares and I am not using that. Just a file on the local hard drive in the computer I am using to the right of me. I remember in my last install I turned it off somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I did it. Anybody have any ideas? Or is this here to stay?

Windows 7 - Launching unsafe files is in this path;
IE -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custome Level -> Scroll down in Settings -> Look for radio button "Launching applications and unsafe files (not secure)".
Don't know if it solves the problem or not but option is there.
Great, on Windows 8 x64 this is an option I can find and set.
It will generate a nasty warning in the system tray. And does not solve the problem:
I have downloaded a warez archive and extracted it. The resulting .exe file is a wrapped program which will extract everything to my choosings. I've used it before.
When I try to run the program, all I get is:
Windows Security
These files can't be opened
Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.

I do not use IE, I use chrome. What is this strange behaviour?? :(

Why do I get a file security error when downloading itunes.

I try to download itunes, but about halfway through an error messge comes up that says error with file security:get lasterror:5

Hi lizz4321,
A digital ID is made up of three components; a private key, a corresponding public key, and some identifying information. The keys themselves are pretty straight forward, they are just big blobs of numbers used to encrypt and decrypt data. It's the identifying information that gets a bit tricky. On first look, the identifying information looks like plain text. You'll see your name and the issuer's name, a serial number, some dates for when the validity starts and ends. All pretty straight forward.
However, all of this information is actually formatted using something called ASN.1 (it stands for Abstract Syntax Notation) and then encoded using BER (Basic Encoding Rules). When someone creates a digital ID they can put just about anything in there. Per specifications (RFC 5280 if you wanted to look it up) some items are required, and others are optional. Each piece of information that goes into the public-key certificate (the PKC is basically the digital ID without the private key) is contained in an extension. These extensions are identified using an OID (Object ID) and conform to a specification which may either be public or confidential.
There are two possibilities in the case you are seeing. Either, some of the information that Acrobat knows about was formatted or encoded incorrectly, or, there is an optional entry that Acrobat doesn't understand how to decode. My guess is it's the latter possibility. There is a rule that states if an extension is marked as critical, and the application using the public-key certificate (in this case the application would be Acrobat), doesn't understand the extension, then the application is supposed to reject the certificate. It could be the former case (badly formatted data), but without seeing the certificate all I can do is guess.

Cant install itunes (file security error) PLEASE HELP

I uninstalled itunes because i could not update it. now when i try to install it it comes up with this
"error getting file security: C:\programdata\Apple\Apple Application Support\kdrl\GetLastError:5"
Can you please help me.
Thanks

Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Apple\Apple Application Support then try again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Open File - Security Warning - minor annoyance

Ever since I installed SQL Developer 1.5.5 I get an Open File - Security Warning. The publisher could not be verified.
I can still run the software, but it is something I haven't seen with SQL Developer before and I have been running it since 1.2
Anyone else have this issue or just me?

I know this a very delayed answer to a 2009 question. But I had a similar problem today and tried to search for a reply and landed in this page. Later I figured out that the executable file was in blocked stage. Files received from mail and internet downloads are blocked based on security settings and execution will be permitted after review and allow manually. As a one time activity, the executable file can be unblocked (Right click - > Properties -> Click Unblock) after which this warning will not appear.

File Security on Windows 10

I'm finding to file security on Windows 10 unbearable. I am unable to write to Program Files or Program Files32. How do you turn it off? How does one turn the UAF off?

Encrypted document using Apple File Security won't open

Back in 2000 I was using an iMac G3 with OS 9. I created a MS word document with MS 2000 and encrypted it using the Apple File Security. Since then I have upgraded to an iMac G5 with OS 10.4 and OS 9 for older applications.
Since this is a legal document, I now need to decrypt it and I am not sure if I used a password to encrypt this document. I have opened up the key chain in OS 9 and, I don't see any saved passwords. I have opened up MS Word and don't see anything about a password for this application. When I open up the encrypted document it shows it to be over 300 pages, and when I select "Get Info" it shows that this document is unlocked, but I see on the desktop the document with a yellow key symbol.
Is this a locked document? Why does it ask me for a password when I don't see any password in the key chain? What does the yellow key symbol mean?
I really need to decrypt this document and their are a lot of programs that will decrypt a word document but you have to be running Windows and not OS X or 9.
Can any one give me any suggestions on how I can decrypt this word document that was encrypted with Apple File Security.
Thanks,
DaisyMay

Open Apple File Security and use it to decompress or decrypt the file. Any item can be encrypted with Apple File Security, and no other application will decrypt that format; the mechanism isn't the same as used in some Word versions. The Locked setting in the Get Info window controls something else. A password doesn't need to be stored in the keychain to be applied to an encrypted item; the file itself stores the encrypted password.

Would like to recover my old Apple File Security password

Hi,
Here is a continuation of a prior problem. Several years ago I encrypted some Appleworks WP files using Apple File Security while using OS 9. I now have a fully functional Classic available on an iMac G5 (OS10.4.4) (thanx to forum respondants) and I have discovered that I must have used a different password to encrypt them than I thought I have always used for everything. Initially I didn’t care but actually they do represent some legal issues of the past that if it was feasible to recover the password for I would appreciate the opportunity. If this requires advanced skills forget it, I don’t have them and if there is illegality involved forget it since I have no desire to do that either. I have seen them in their encrypted format so I know they are there. Just obviously not readable. Thanx.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Spock,
Unfortunately, I don't know of any crack for resolving this. Files that come out of Apple File Security are actually encrypted and compressed. I have a feeling that the password used is actually used as the encryption key. This is rather than just a simple security barrier in the Mac OS to prevent access by Mac applications.
I'd even hoped that as the documents are WP docs, a disk scanning program - or Terminal in Mac OSX - could rescue the contents, but as they're compressed, you've had it.
If it was me and my files, I'd try to find out more about the compression and encryption algorithms used by Apple File Security in Mac OS 9 (and maybe Mac OS 8) documentation. And then try to force decryption using Unix tools on your whizzy new iMac, ie. trying every word in a dictionary between 5 and 8 letters as the password would take a few hours of CPU.
A moot point if you know that your password choices are designed to specifically not appear in a dictionary, ie. contain numbers, etc.

Autosave temporary file security--Where do they go once a doc is formally saved?

Hello!
I recently replaced my failed PowerMac G5 with a new iMac, and upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard in the process.
File security is very important to me. I noticed that Snow Leopard will automatically save a temporary file until the original file is formally saved. As a rule, I am careful to secure erase all of my, and my client's, personal documents once they are no longer needed. I am concerned that there are duplicate copies of these files floating around my hard drive, unencrypted, or erased but not secure erased.
Can someone educate me about where those tempory files go after the original is saved? I take considerable strides to make sure I know what information is stored on my computer, and I am a little put off by the seemingly lack of control.
Thannks!
p.s. I will be jumping to Lion soon, so any info on how this works with Lion also wouldn't hurt.

The temporary files are erased. You're overthinking the issue. As for Lion, there might be other issues associated with autosaving: salient details described in http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4753, and https://discussions.apple.com/message/15877452#15877452

ITunes 9 installation error "Error getting file security"

Every time I try to install iTunes 9, I get this error:
Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.62.14.0\GetLastError: 5
Any ideas? I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

itunes installs quicktime. The trouble is with the security settings in the folder in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache.
On both the Apple Computer folder and the Installer Cache, you will need to take ownership. Then delete the quicktime folder.
First, to see the folder, in explorer go to Organize, folder options, then view tab. There click the radio button see hidden files and unclick hide protected system files.
Then navigate over to the folder location above.
Right click on the folders, click on properties, then security.
There at the bottom, click on advanced. Then click on the owner tab. There you can change the owner to the user that you logged on as.
That should fix it. Remember to delete the quicktime folder after to take ownership.

File Security on Portal - Help Please urgent

Hello all,
I need an urgent help on File Security on Portal.
suppose we have 5 .PDF files in a perticular directory on the portal server. I want to have J2EE engine check if the user is already logged into portal or not. If the user is not logged in I want to throw logon screen asking them to Login. If the user is logged in I want to show the document directly.
How to configure these things. Please help me.
Thanks and regards,
Vasu Pabbaraju.

Hi,
instead of storing Your files into the portal server's filesystem You could store them into KM.
If the file "dummy.pdf" is stored into the KM folder "/documents/test", You could call it via
http(s)://<potal server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/test/dummy.pdf
The portal will ask for a login before displaying the document.
Best Regards
Frank

Open File - Security Warning box appears for several app on the desktop [solved]

Hello,
After googling around, I found why I get this warning, how it happens, how to manually fix it but I don't know how to prevent it.
I got this warning when desktop integrity level drop to "low".
Desktop integrity drop to "low" when launching IE (V9) with no network connection and the favorites folder has been redirected to a file server. If the favorites folder is not redirected, desktop integrity level remains the same.
To fix it :
icacls %\username%\desktop /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
But how can I prevent Windows (IE ?) from changing desktop integrity level ? I add the unc path of the file server hosting the favorites folders to the intranet zone to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Thanks for your reply.
You never met this message, did you set folder redirection for your users ? Here you can find other people having this message
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=open+file+security+warning+desktop+integrity+level
I don't think process monitor or explorer will help because I already know the culprit : IE. If you read my message again, I need to tell IE : if the favorites folder is not accessible, don't modify my local desktop folder integrity level.
Regards
Chris

Open File - Security Warning

I have a mapped drive letter to a file server share where I keep many utility scripts (.cmd files).
Whenever I right-click a .cmd file and choose Edit, I'm given an "Open File - Security Warning" dialog.
How can I disable this prompt? I'd like everything on this server to be considered as safe as the things on my local drive.

This solution worked for me! We have a drive mapped to H. I added just simply H and H:\ which redirected to the actual path and it was fine after that. No more security warning.

Click on Sties
Click Advanced
Type the drive letter of your file server where the application is located in the “Add this website to this zone” box.
Click Add

You should no longer get the “Open File Security Warning” when you run an application from the file server.

Adding a user to the File Security Realm

Hello,
When I attempt to add a new user to the file realm with Application Server->Security-Realms->file-> Manage Users, I get the error:
A "com.sun.enterprise.tools.guiframework.exception.FrameworkError" was caught. The message from the exception: "Unable to get View for ViewDescriptor 'fileUsers'"
The root cause is "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0"
See the HTML source for more detailed (stack trace) information.
When I look at the file C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\samples/config/keyfile I see the new user added, but the Admin Console is not happy...
Please advise.
-- POC

There are some issues in admin gui for managing security service in beta.
I have verified that this has been fixed in FCS branch.
Since the user and password has been written to keyfile in your scenario, it may be OK.
You can try to use the user. If this is not working, then restarting the server should work.
Another way is to create user by using asadmin command. This is working fine in beta.

How do I make my pdf files secure in Keynote 6?

In earlier versions of Keynote, I could export to a pdf and make it secure so that someone else needed a password to make changes to the file. Now, I can only require a password for someone to open the file. That doesn't help. I need new users to be able to download my pdf without being able to left the clip art, etc. Is there a work around?
Thanks.

The only way to add security at this time is to use Adobe Acrobat Pro
