Hiding sensitive information like SSN from being displayed as text

I want to hide sensitive information like SSN being shown in cleartext as result of a query. How can I do that?

You could use a view that excludes the SSN column or maybe use the DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT package.

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

Thanks for the quick response.
I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
Thanks

Is there a way to prevent HTML from being displayed in forum?

Is there a way to prevent HTML from being displayed in forum in BC to avoid linking to other sites on an eCommerce site?

Thank you for your post!
Unfortunately there isn't a way to restrict customers to post on your forums links to other sites.
However what I suggest here is to choose to moderate each forum post and this way you can choose to approve or remove links from the posts sent by customers.
I hope this helps!

Preventing Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs.

How can I prevent Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs?

Welcome Mr. Lutz,
Note: This is for Windows version of iTunes because this is the OS I'm running. Even with diferent OSes, the process should be similar enough.
1.Open iTunes
2.Connect your iPod
3.Highlight it in the source list
4.Go to Edit, then Preferences
5.Click on the iPod tab
6.Click on Automatically update selected playlists only
7.Click which playlists you want on your iPod
8.Switch to the Podcast tab
9.Select automatically update all podcasts
10.Click OK
11.Disconnect your iPod
12.Now, follow steps 1-7 with one of your daughter's iPods.
13.Now, switch to the Podcast tab
and select Do not update podcasts
14.Click OK
15.Disconnect the iPod.(Repeat Steps 12-15 with the other mini.
This should allow your iPod to update your songs and podcasts, and allow your daughters to update their songs and no podcasts.
Happy iPodding,

Preventing setup/cleanup from being displayed during exec.

I am trying to prevent the setup/cleanup sections of my sequence from being displayed during execution. (i.e. I do not want the users to see anything other than the main sequence). This way they can see the progress being made through the sequence and the cleanup sequence will not block the view of the main sequence(and the values from individual tests).
If anyone has a clue how to do this please let me know.
(Note: I still want the startup/cleanup to run, just invisibly)
Thanks

This tracing option is set in the Station Options. In Sequence Editor, goto:
Configure >> Station Options, Tab Execution: Remove the checkmark from "Allow Tracing into Setup/Cleanup".
Regards, Guenter.

In windows live photo gallery it says an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

in windows live photo gallery it keeps saying an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

How do I hide the Dynamic Page parameters from being displayed in the URL

Hello,
I am using a form to call a Dynamic Page and to send parameters to it ,
is there a way to hide the parameters values from being diplayed in the URL
when the Dynamic Paged is called .
Thanks .

Hi,
You cannot hide the parameters in the url. The GET method works like that. You can use the POST method to submit the parameters. But in your case the POST method may be not be appropriate.
Thanks,

Prevent "We're opening your workbook in Microsof Excel" message from being displayed

Hi all,
I have multiple environments with SharePoint solutions installed on them. Almost all of them are working fine except one that has an issue and don't know how to solve it.
Each time I open an Excel file in Excel Services and then choose to "Edit in Excel", the following message is being displayed and Excel Services do no close automatically as it does on the other environments.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Florin

How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi,
This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
Kind regards,
Andy
Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

Preventing Password Characters from being Displayed

I know this question has been asked and answered about a billion times but I can't seem to find any definitive answer as to how it will be addressed or if there are any plans to address it in the future.
We all know that when an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch user is prompted for a password (AppleID, enterprise, web site, etc) that the characters are displayed before being concealed by a black dot. Again, arguing over how ridiculous of a design flaw this is, at this point, completely moot. However, does anyone from Apple have an answer as to what will be or can be done in the future?
My situation is this: I am an IT administrator in a private Jesuit school. Nearly all of our faculty have been given iPads and we have installed AppleTVs and new projectors in all of our classrooms for the faculty to mirror content on their iPads rather than using a desktop PC (we're trying to phase desktops out of the enterprise except for labs and work areas).
All faculty using iPads have been briefed on this situation and we've had very few occurences of passwords being compromised. However, even the most vigilant educator slips up and, just today, it was determined that one of our teachers' test banks (which resides on the teacher's network home share) was accessed by a student who saw his password during an iPad mirroring session. The student copied tests and distributed them to his classmates.
Besides venting a little and looking for some sort of solution, what I would like to know is Apple plans on addressing this in the next version of the IOS. Frankly, for the inroads that Apple has made into the classroom and enterprise with iPads, there appears to be very little thought given to how little things like password security and AppleID/iPad provisioning and the difficulty managing these things can affect an institution's decision to introduce a device that holds so much promise.
Any case, if anyone at apple is listening, I VOTE THAT YOU OFFER SOME WAY TO CONCEAL PASSWORDS WHILE THEY ARE TYPED INTO THE PASSWORD FIELD (this can be configured as an option on Android devices, not sure why Apple can't do it).

No sorry, The only way I can think of would require modifying the iOS itself. Unless you can find a password management app that would allow copying and pasting without showing the characters. I use mSecure, and with that one can paste-to-clipboard a password without actually displaying the password. As long as the app you are pasting the password into supports hidden password characters, you can paste the password into the field without it every dispalying any characters. It works that way at least with the apps I use (banking/financial apps, for example).
The onle issue with mSecure is that if you tap a bit too far to the left of the "copy to clipboard", you will display the password. But there are lots of password manager apps in the app store, so I'm not saying msecure is the only or even the best option.

Using notes on iPad: how do I prevent numbers from being displayed as phone numbers?

Using notes on iPad how do I enter numbers such that notes thinks that they are just numbers, not phone numbers, links, or calendar events?
Example:
Enter the line "Number: 00012345678". The number is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Send Message", "Add to Contacts", or "Copy".
Enter the line "Numlet: 9H". The "9H" is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Create Event", "Show in Calendar", or "Copy".
I don't think this is an iOS 7 problem.

Personally, I think that an App like AirWatch would be overkill for the average home user and form the very little bit that I know about the app, it would not make sense from a money standpoint - IMO anyway. I don't use any third party app to manage devices.
I manage four iDevices in my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. All four devices are mine, but all of them have their own unique content on them so it does take a little bit of extra attention to detail when I sync and make changes to the sync configuration. And because I share my Apple ID with my wife and daughter (who each have their own MBP laptops) every now and then I inadvertently download a previously purchased app that I didn't want (I delete more Disney apps than you can shake a stick at) and I scratch my head trying to figure out where that app came from.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, again IMO - that you can get the hang of keeping everything separate without the purchase of an enterprise app, you just have to be a little more aware of what you are syncing, and pay a little closer attention to what's going on.

An error prevents TOC from being displayed on IE8

Hello,
I am using RH 9.0.1 and IE 8.0.7. When I compile a help project in webhelp format, the TOC is not displayed in the output result. A yellow error icon is displayed in the lower left corner of the browser window with the following information:

The same occurs in Google Chrome. Does anybody know how this could be fixed?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Wiliam,
Thank you for your reply.
You are right, the search and index are not working either. I knew about the Chrome issue when opened locally. If I follow the instructions on the website you mentioned, the webhelp will show the contents, but not the TOC, and the Index and Search do not work either. The same problem occurs on Firefox 3.6.3. I am not using Chrome Frame in Internet Explorer.
Basically, what I get is a blank TOC, a blank Index and the Search does not work. When I click on the "Error on page" yellow icon I get the error message I posted above. Any suggestions?
I've used RH 7 before and I never had this issue.
Tony

Preventing certain file types from being displayed in a directory listing

Someone before me used this code to create simple directory
listings for our
users to maintain certain sections of the site...
http://www.asp101.com/samples/viewasp.asp?file=dir_list.asp
My question is, can some additional code be added or change
to prevent
certain files from showing up in the list.. like the
default.asp and so
on...
ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript

Just test the string value of the filename in the output loop
and skip it if it meets the criteria you want to filter out.

How do I suppress zeroes from being displayed in numbers?

Hello,
I am generating a calculated dollar amount in one column that is based on values in another column. If I apply the formula to the entire column, most of the values are zero dollar in standard currency format because most of the rows have yet to be populated. I would like to suppress these values from appearing. I tried the if clause but I do not know what function to use for the false value if the condition is to be greater than zero.
Thanks,
Vince

double click on the cell that has the formula, it will appear next to the cell.
