How do I restrict access to AirPort Utility?

Anyone messing with my computer can just simply go into the utility and change the passwords to my AirPort Extreme...Please help!

You can put a filter on your wifi or use something like the K9 browser.

SSH login- how do I restrict access to a shared folder?

I have created Shares in WGM for SMB and AFP access on my OS X 10.4.8 Server. However when I connect via SSH it's not restricting access to the folder based on the User Name I login with- I see the entire volume! How do I restrict access to a specific folder based on a user name setup in WGM? ACL's?

Hey George,
It sounds like you are trying to limit ssh/sftp users to a specific area, aka jails. The FTP server lets you 'chroot' users to a certain area making it appear as the root thus preventing them from navigating up the hierarchy, which is what I think you, and me and many others are trying to accomplish.
The ssh compiled into OS X is missing this very needed feature. There have been a few documented workarounds, but they've either been too insecure or too clunky for me.
I've dealt with the fact that my users can get to the root of the hard drive, and have just been very careful about my privileges (by using ACLs), thus preventing them from getting inside areas they shouldn't.
There's a good write up here: http://www.schwie.com/brad/macosxsftpchroot/ and if you include the term 'chroot' in your searches, you should find a bit about it here too.
And Roger, I think George meant the file sharing protocol used by ssh. man sftp.

How can I restrict access to add. internal hard drive by account?

Hello! Okay, so I am my computer's administrator, and I have a secondary 'guest' account that anyone else can use. So, I know that all my data on my main, OS hard drive is secure from the guest account accessing it, but what about the additional hard drive that I have installed?
I have a good deal of sensitive data and files stored (and aliased) on my second internal drive that I do not care for 'guest' users to stumble upon. How can I restrict access to the secondary storage hard drive from my Guest login account, and/or just plain hide it from it? Surely, there is a need for this that has brought about a solution. Any tips/advice/solutions?
Thanks!!!

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

I'd like to alter my Airport Extreme/Airport Express wireless network so that the 3 Expresses connect to the Extreme via Ethernet. I've been told this will create a more stable wifi signal. How do I configure this using Airport Utility? Thanks.

I currently have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to my DSL router by Ethernet. Because I have a long, sprawling home, I have 3 Airport Expresses configured to "Extend the Wireless Network" I've established. Because of my home environment--thick walls encompassaing wire mesh, sprawling rooms, etc., it is hard to maintain a continuously-strong, stable WiFi signal. I've been told that I can create a much more stable network by connecting the Express units to the AEBS via Ethernet cable. Since my home is already wired for Ethernet, I'm considering making this change. If I proceed to establish the Ethernet connections, how do I then set up Airport Utility to accomodate this switch from a Wireless-based WiFi network to an Ethernet-based WiFi network?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phyllis

I don't see anyplace in the Utility to designate HOW the Express units are connected, only how they relate on the network to the Extreme,
As I mentioned in the previous post, when you click the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
Connect Using = Ethernet (This tells each Express to connect to the Extreme using the ethernet connection)
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) (This setting allows your AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on the network, as it must for the setup to work correctly.
You do not need to configure anything differently on the AirPort Extreme (as long as it is working correctly now) to connect the AirPort Express devices.
The only other question I have is the following: I'm currently already using one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme-- for my husband's iMac. I really don't think he gains much in performance over how the iMac would run through wifi, so I could disconnect the iMac. If you think the iMac would do better to stay on the Ethernet connection, should I use a switch/splitter to add an extra connection?
Since each AirPort Express must connect using ethernet, you will need to use the 3 LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme for the AirPort Express devices.
I would suggest that you try connecting the iMac using wireless to see if that will work. If the wireless connection is not satisfactory, then you can add a 5 port ethernet switch to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and then plug all the devices connecting using ethernet....the iMac and the 3 AirPort Express devices...into the remaining 4 ports on the switch. That will leave you with 2 open ports on the AirPort Extreme for any future devices that may need to connect.
When you test out the system, here is a trick to find out which device your computer is actually connecting to at any given time as it "roams" around the house.
When you have AirPort Utility open to configure each AirPort Express, jot down the AirPort ID for each Express. You can do the same for the AirPort Extreme.
As you move around with your laptop, hold down the option key on your Mac keyboard while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device that the laptop is connected to at that time. it should also be the ID of the closest AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme if the laptop is close to the Extreme at the time).
Let us know how things are working when everything is up and running.

How do I restrict access to USB Disk connected to Airport Extreme

I have attached a USB HDD to my Airport Extreme Base Station. The drive is divided into 4 partitions, which I did with the HDD connected directly to a MBP before plugging into the AEBS. All the Macs on the network seem to be able to read and write into all 4 partitions. Is there anyway to restrict which Macs can access with partition? Or, if I went to a single partition, is there a way to restrict access on a folder by folder basis?
I've tried searching, but the best answer I've found so far is that the AEBS will only support a single partition/volume.... which doesn't appear to be true anymore.
Thanks in advance

How do I restrict access to a folder-like attaching a password in order for someone to open it.

I want to locate a folder on my desktop, but want to restrict access so that anyone on my laptop can't access the folder, even though they will see it sitting on the desktop. How do I set up folder permissions?

Any file on YOUR desktop already has permissions set such that no other user account can access. But if you want to use the OS's native capability to encrypt the contents of a folder, place that folder within an encrypted image.
Use Disk Utility to create a disk image, and encrypt it with the same utility (use settings in "new image") . Make sure you size the image to a size great enough to hold all your files. Once created, and placed on your desktop, open it, using your password. Once the image is mounted, place the files you want to protect into that image, and then dismount/eject the image. The image essentially becomes your password encrypted folder. Double click it at any time to access your files (enter password). Eject the mounted image to "re-encrypt".
If you want a disk image that has cross platform capability, then try TrueCrypt. It is great App for Mac & Windows, with other advantages as well.

SA520W: Restricting access to configuration utility

I have setup multiple vlans on my SA520W. I would like to restrict access to the configuration utility to only users on the default vlan. Currently, the configuration utility is available to all the vlans on each of the vlan's default gateway IP address. I'm currently using firmware: 2.1.51. Is this possbile? This device will be handling both office and customer Internet access. I can't have customers getting to the configuration utility, regardless of how difficult/complex the passwords are. Thank you.

Wei,
'This scenario is not supported by SA500' is a completely unacceptable answer. The SA520W is meant to provide multiple SSIDs/VLANs in order to provide both 'corporate' access and 'guest' access via WiFi. Allowing a guest to access the configuration utility page and attempt to hack the SA's password is totally unacceptable.
Do you really want a visitor to be able to try and hack the SA's password???
How about the guy in the car in the parking lot?!!!!!
The SA stands for Security Appliance. This is Security 101.
Please provide a solution for this most Basic functionality, or release a firmware update to fix this gaping hole in security.

ASA WebVPN. How do you restrict access to users in an AD group using LDAP?

Hi All,
I am trying to configure separate WebVPN connection profiles to give different portal bookmark contents to users based on their AD group membership. This has been very difficult, even though I beleive it should be easy.
The login page of teh ASA by default has a dropdown to allow default users to access the default portal and the SSL VPN client connection.
There are two other portals that I would like to restrict access to based on AD group membership. I have set these up to be selected by URL.
The biggest problem is, I have no way of knowing how to go about this. The AAA LDAP options show a group membership search, which I have configured, but I cannot say "Profile X is restricted to AD group CarpetBaggers", so that if soneone that is NOT a carpetbagger tries to log in, it fails.
I can only do an all or nothing scenario.
It would be nice to use Dynamic Access Policies to do this, and I have created a few, but they do NOT seem to work when the drop down aliases or URLs are in use. So how do I go about using them in this scenario? Turning off the aliases or URLs is not really an option right now.
Scenario 1 would work the best for me. Restrict access to profiles/groups based on AD group membership using LDAP.
Scenario 2 would be an ideal longer term solution.
Any thoughts, ideas or assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

This is exactly what i was looking for, and Nelson is correct. When you enter the DAP configuration for a profile click on "Advanced" and there is the option to create a logical expression. The guide (ther is a button to access this) is really helpful, with a couple of examples. This is what i used:
assert(function()
   if ( (type(aaa.ldap.distinguishedName) == "string") and
        (string.find(aaa.ldap.distinguishedName, "OU=Users") ~= nil) )
then
       return true
   end
   return false
end)()
from the debug dap you can see what Users relates to;
DAP_TRACE: Username: MyUsername, aaa.ldap.distinguishedName = CN=Mr B,OU=Users,OU=Site ******,DC=CH,DC=Mycompany,DC=com
My admin account fails to get me in to the same profile:
DAP_TRACE: dap_add_to_lua_tree:aaa["ldap"]["distinguishedName"]="CN=Admin Mr B,OU=Admin Users,OU=Site *****,DC=CH,DC=Mycompany,DC=com"

I have two airport express base stations that I want to configure on two separate sets of speakers in two separate rooms. How do I do this? Airport Utility only seems to scan one express at a time.

I am currently running a PowerPC G5 imac and have a wired broadband modem via ethernet with airport wireless network turned on, on the G5. I have the computer in the bedroom and have an airport express wired into a mixer that connects to my stereo. I have recently bought another airport express base station to connect to a pair of active monitors in the kitchen. When I try to scan these on Airport Utility version 5.42 I am only managing to scan one base unit at a time. I have plugged them in separately and reset them, they both have firmware updates, however the utility will only read one at once. I have read that you can link base stations to the same WDS. I would like to know how to go about doing this if it will only scan one airport express at a time. I have looked it up on the net and not found anything that is a simple fix. Can anyone help? In Apple Support it says that multiple Base Stations can be used. I would like to get both Apple Airport Express units to be able play airtunes separately or at the same time depending where I am in my flat. I do not need different music in each room. I would like to stream music from the computer to multiple rooms in the flat without having to continually unplug and configure the Base Stations. Has anyone come across such a challenge? Any help would be welcome.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

How do I restrict access to JSP or servlet only through SSL Port

Hi
I want to restrict the access to few jsp and servlet only through SSL port,
so how can I block the acces to those jsp and servlet through normal port??? We

Any help on this highly appreciated.
Aruna

Hi,
To restrict access(56 bits or less). follow the below steps.
1. Go to your Webserver instance ServerManager
2. Click Preferences Tab ------> Encryption Preference
------> There disable "DES with 56 bit
encryption and MD5 message authentication."
for SSL 2.0 ciphers or SSL3.0 Ciphers. Which ever
needed.
3. Save and Restart the Webserver instance.
The above steps are for 4.x version.
Thanks,
Daks.

How do you restrict access to custom applications?

When I create portlets, there is usually an associated "admin" functionality that needs to be created for each custom application. An example is a shopping cart that we just created, we needed admins to be able to go in and upload photos.
The way that I do this is I create a new portlet "Shopping Cart Admin" and restrict access to it that way. However, because I usually add everything in the /remoteserver/shoppingcart/. folder to the gateway space (its too painful to add one by one), this means that I can't put admin.aspx in that folder. So I usually end up creating a NEW folder /remoteserver/shoppingcartadmin/ for the admin portlet.
Long story short, its a lot of work. I know that I could try to use activity rights, but those seem very global. How do you control edit access to your custom portlets?

Well, there are a few different ways to go about it. You could add a preferences page with the admin functionality, and then an admin would just have to click the little pencil in the portlet titlebar. No admin/edit access, no little pencil.
I have often set the visibility of an ASPX control directly from activity rights, in OnPageLoad, if it isn't postback time. The activity rights should be inherited by the user, through the user's group. Best practise is to create empty groups called Roles, add activity rights to the Roles, and then have the actual groups (that contain users) inherit from one or more Roles.
You already knew that part, I added it for the others. My personal definition of a portlet is 'polymorphous instance of a web service'.
So:
Role: Store Manager (has Edit Shopping Cart activity right)
^
Group: Store Managers (has Store Manager parent group)
User: Vladimir (inherits Edit Shopping Cart activity right)
