Forcing a single signature

I am hoping someone will be able to help, as I have searched the web and not found an answer.
My company is trying to get as paperless as possible and one of the wasteful processes being looked at is the need to print off documents to sign them, and then rescan them to e-mail and archive.
Signing it with Adobe would be ideal for this, but for the fact you can create multiple different signatures on one profile. So if I wanted something signed off I could create an additional signature in the name of my manager and sign it with this.
This will not pass compliance.
Is there a way to lock people down to a single, verified signature?
Thanks in advance,
Antony.

Hi Antony,
The short answer is yes, but sadly nothing in the PKI world gets by with a short answer.
First up, you are right, a self generated digital ID (aka self-signed ID) is not really worth the paper it is printed on. The reason that we've kept the feature in Acrobat is because it's free and that's is all some people need (or want). What you want is a digital ID from a trusted third party certificate authority that can vouch for the validity of the signer because before they issue a digital ID in the customers name they vette their identity. There are a lot of companies that offer this service and even some government agencies as well.
So, after you decide on who you want to rely on for digital ID issuance, the next thing you want to do is restrict the PDF file so it can only be signed with a digital ID from that specifc issuer. This is done using a JavaScript feature called Seed Value. I can point you to a lot of technical information on this subject, but I don't want to overwhelm you (because it is going to be a bit overwhelming) unless this is something you are interested in.
Let me know if you need more info,
Steve

How to generate single signature for code signing and timestamp

Hi we are developing Win 7 VC++ app using Crypto APIs.
Here code signing is done using Cryptsignhash() method, that generates the signature. Later for time stamping CryptRetriveTimestamp() method is used which also generate the time stamp signature. Thus we wanted to know
whether there is any single Crypto API available that can do code signing and timestamping together and shall generate single signature. At verification side it should be also possible to separate code signing and timestamp signatures prior to verification.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

No. Normally, you don't counter-sign the actual data - you counter-sign and time stamp your signature. You don't want to transmit the whole data (which could be a) large and b) confidential) to a third party. This is why it's a two step process.

Is it possible to force a single decimal in a specific column in the formula?

I am working with a report where the decimal placement needs to change in different columns of the same row (due to unions). Therefore, I am looking to show only 1 digit after the decimal point in one cell out of the whole row. Is there a formula I can use that will override the decimal settings made in the column properties tab? I tried to truncate and round but it does not show the proper number of digits after the decimal.
If anyone knows of a solution or workaround, that'd be great!
Thanks

I think if I show you pictures it might be easier to understand.

If you look in the first picture, you will notice that my volume row has the decimal number set to 0 to show only whole numbers. However, you will also see that the last column, union 5, is a % variance from union 3 vs union 4. In union 5, I am hoping to enter something in the formula for that column to force OBIEE to display a number in the following format XX.X instead of XX.
I haven't had any luck using truncate, round, or cast unfortunately...

Force a single landscape orientated page to follow the general portrait orientation of pages

I have moved a single page PAGE X from DOCUMENT 2 into a DOCUMENT 1. The page page moved from DOC 2 is landscape orientated. The pages in DOC 1 are portrait orientated.
How can I rotage PAGE X to a portrait position aligning it to the other pages of DOC 1.
ID 6.0.
Thank you!

There's a work around:
1- Select all items on the page, then Rotate90 clockwise and make sure the Reference Point on center.
2- With Page Tool select the page and change orientation to Portrait.

Is it possible to force only a single evaluation of a function?

I am only an occasional user of numbers...
The question: Is it possible to force a single evaluation of a function like TODAY() ?
i wanted to place the current date into a gas milage numbers document, and I foolishly
used =Today().
Well the second time I entered the date as above I noticed that the previous entries had
of course been changed to the current date ;(
ie the Today function is re-evaluated whenever the spreadsheet is re-opened.
Is there a slick way of forcing a single evaluation of functions like Today() ?
Jerry

Badunit,
I have a keyboard shortcut for Insert > Date & Time that has been working faithfully for about two years now. Prior to that I hadn't had good luck, so it may be my choice of key combination that I assigned to this action. If you'd like to try it, I use:
Shift-Option-Command-D

Trouble with inserting a string containing a single quote

Using php with Oracle
If I do the following two lines before sending my $Query string through the parse function
$name = "Dominick's";
$Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values ('$name')";
it gives me the following error:
Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-00917: missing comma -- while processing OCI function OPARSE)
If I try and force the single quote to be surrounded by double quotes and therefore not be confused:
$name = "Dominick's";
Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values (\"$name\")";
Trying that yields the following error:
Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier -- while processing OCI function OPARSE)
Help
Jeff

If it is possible (and here it is) you should use str_replace instead of ereg_replaceThanks for the reminder about str_replace().
$Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values ('".addSlashes($name)."')";This gives an invalid Oracle SQL statement, which will generally fail with
ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminatedFor Oracle, single quotes must be doubled, not escaped with backslash.
Of the solutions to insert the data, I'd prefer using bind variables
since no escaping or quote doubling is needed.

How to get SCOM alerts and send single summary email of one's that have breached.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a runbook which does as the title suggests, ie I want to get the 'Active' alerts from the console which have breached our SLA, which is No Critical or Warning alerts in resolution state of New for more than 24 hrs, and emails this list
to an internal Distribution List of all the potential service owners. Its just intended as a daily email to poke the relevant people not to ignore the console alerts :-)
I'm able to Get Alerts OK, but from there I'm having diffs. I have been given a powershell (as I'm no good at Powershell myself) which does the filtering to get the relevant breached alerts, but when I pass output to other activities and ultimately
to the create/send email, I end up only able to get multiple emails, one be alert which matches the filtering from powershell. I have appended to a file to check that I can write the alert properties line by line, but for example if Ive 4 alerts then
I end up with 4 emails - I want one email with each alert detail (severity, Alert name, path,resolutionstate, Days/hrs in breach, Service Owner (custom Field 3) etc). I have toyed with flattening the output with line breaks and/or commas at various points
along the activity chain to ftry force a single iteration of te send email but this just messes the format to the point of not being useful.
So was wondering if anyone could advise if this is possible, esp if able to do it using the standard activities along with SCOM IP - I'm sure doing it all in powershell it a possible answer but I'm not proficient to do it - unless someone can provide
said script! :-)
Another possibility which has crossed my mind is to possible query the OpsMgr DB directly using the Alert ID from Get Alert but haven't tried tht yet. I think I' stuggling to understand the basic of how the data is passed from activities esp using
the 'flatten outpout method.. My current runbook has the fllowing activities:
GetAlert -> Run .Net (powershell for filtering for breaced alerts) -> AppendFile (to Check the alert output) -> Create/Send Email(to send summary email). What happens is if I have say 4 Breached emails in Console, when I run tester I
see GetAlert runs Once detail shows it has found 4 alerts), then each activity up the chain runs 4 times so that finally I end up with 4 emails.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated - I can provide any more details/upload pic of current runbook if it helps...
Thanks...

Hi thanks for the suggestion. I've tried playing around with the runbook using the Junction activity infront of the sendmail. It doesnt appear to do anyting in itself (unless I'm not using it correctly). The only way I can get the email
to only send once is if I flatten the output from the returned data behaviour - this works if I flatten at the Get Alert stage without the Junction activity or if I use the junction an flatten it then the email fires once.
However the problem with this is that each field for each alert is written vertically, so if I have 3 alerts returning 3 pieces of returned data I get:
<Alert1 datafield1>
<Alert2 datafield1>
<Alert3 datafield1>
<Alert1 datafield2>
<Alert2 datafield2>
<Alert3 datafield2>
<Alert1 datafield3>
<Alert2 datafield3>
<Alert3 datafield3>
wereas I wan the dat to appear in horizonally with each alert details on each row as like when written to a file, ie
<Alert1 datafield1> <Alert1 Datafield2> <Alert1 DataField3>
<Alert2 datafield1> <Alert2 Datafield2> <Alert2 DataField3>
<Alert3 datafield1> <Alert3 Datafield2> <Alert3 DataField3>
Without the use of flatten, the email which fires once for each alert has the data displayed correctly. So essentially what I'm hoping to get is all returned alert details one per line/row in the body of the email...
If theres any easy way to do it withing the orchestrator activities would be great. Otherwise it looks like I might have to try find a powershell or SQL script to pull back alert data. Cheers...

Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

Hello,
I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs. I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process. Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields? We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads. I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
Many thanks to the forum!
Regards,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.
http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2010/01/adobe_secured_customer_showcas_8.html
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=762388&l oc=en_us
However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
Kind regards

Locking PDF but only allow further signatures & get the list of of changes made after signing

Hi,
I have looked at Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and found the Signing > locking feature which blocks any changes after the document is signed. I need to know whether using Acrobat SDK, one could implement a similar locking option via plugin in a way that it ONLY allows further blank signature fields to be created or sign existing ones and locks all other changes. If possible, any pointers to API functions would be appreciated.
If the above is not possible using Acrobat SDK 9.0 then can the SDK provides a list of all the set of changes made after the signing is performed (at the time of verification) in the form of some codes which can guide the plugin author about what change after signing was done e.g.
a blank signature field was signed
a blank signature field is created
watermark has been applied
form is filled
sticky notes/stamps/other annotations are added
Regards,
mwak

Thanks for your response. I have just performed this:
I signed a PDF ( having no prior signature or blank signature fields ) using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and locked it. I am now not able to create more signatures on this PDF. I believe I can't add more signatures even using the Acrobat SDK and Lock means complete lock-down of the document. This is different to what you said " it restricts modifications EXCEPT for other signings" or may be I am not understanding it clearly.
I created two blank signature fields. When I clicked on the first, there is no Lock settings at the time of signing. I believe because If it is locked then the next signature can't be signed. With only a single signature field present, the lock feature is there.
So I believe I have to resort to the option of identifying the changes in a revision and then if it the change is related to say adding stamps, sticky notes prompts the user at the time of verification.
Can some one point me to the API functions set which identify list the objects which have changed after signing.
Regards,
mwak

Force font in a specific domain...

I prefer a specific font across most sites.
However, with 'Allow pages to use their own fonts...' unchecked, is it possible to force a single domain to use its'
own fonts with css?

You can specify the font with code in userContent.css.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/@document
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/CSS/font-family
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/CSS/font
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document domain(<enter domain>){
html, body, body * { font-family: "<font name>" !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

Multiple Monitors - Single Touchscreen

Hello,
I have a question about the Tablet PC Settings and how they affect touchscreens.
We have created an application that requires three monitors mounted in landscape orientation. The left and right monitor are non-touch, but the center monitor is a HID enabled touch screen. In order to identify the center monitor as the touch screen, I go
to Tablet PC Settings > Setup. There is a prompt to press Enter until the text is display on the touch screen, and than to touch the screen designating it as a touch screen. In most cases this works without issue.
Yesterday, I was troubleshooting an issue at a customer site where a user touches the touch screen, but the touch point reports on the left screen. I went through the Tablet PC Settings > Setup multiple times, always indicating the center screen as the
touch, but the touch point kept reporting on the left screen. One thing that I noticed is that in the Tablet PC Settings under Display Options - you get notification on which screen Windows recognizes as being touch. In this case, it was showing Display 1
as the touchscreen and I couldn't get it to change so I ended up swapping the touchscreen and the PC.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I would like to understand why Windows is will not accept my designation of the touch screen. Are there other factors in play here such as: monitor order in the Screen Resolution settings and/or the graphics card
settings? Is there a way through the registry to force a single screen to be recognized as touch in a multi-monitor setup like this?
Thanks,
TRusch

Hi TRusch,
First of all, please ensure you have got the latest driver or you may need to manually download the driver from the manufacturer website.
Before you setup the touchscreen from the Tablet PC Settings ,please make a calibration or orientation of an interactive screen.
Meanwhile ,you may need to check this registry “CalibrationData” and its path is :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Touch\CalibrationData

Correct procedure to update IOS IPS signatures on 2911 router

What is the correct procedure to update the IOS IPS signatures on an 2911 router?
I know how to download the signatures file (eg. IOS-S556-CLI.pkg) but what is the correct way to install the update?
Thank you in advance!

The IPS signature package comes with a list of pre-enabled signatures, hence Cisco does not recommend enabling a lot more other signatures, especially not every single signature as documented.
The reason why is because the package might include retired/old signatures only for references, and not every single signature is required to protect your environment because you might not have the traffic for some signatures, you might not have some end hosts that are written with specific signatures, therefore, it becomes irrelevant if you enable it.
Typically here is how customer would enable/disable signatures:
- Use the default signature that is enabled by Cisco (the default should fit majority of the customers).
- Monitor it for a couple of months
- Disable those that you don't need, and enable others if you think you require it for specific.

Safari 3.0: How do I force all links to open in tabs without using cmd?

In a number of other browsers it's easy to set all links to open in tabs. I don't want any separate windows to open and I don't want to have to use the keyboard to force every single link into a tab.
How do I get Safari to do strictly tabbed browsing?
Thanks,
iMactel

Before posting the very same question, I searched first (like a good boy should) and found your post....which addressed the exact question I have.
I'm in the process (of hopefully) of transitioning from years of using Firefox to Safari. The reason: I'm amazed at how quickly web pages open in Safari compared to Firefox.
Anyway, after installing a few Safari add-ons, I'm feeling pretty good about the transion -- except for the fact that I NEVER want Safari to open anything in a separate window unless I specifically ask it to. Evidently, it's simply not designed to do this...
