How to give a web developer access to WebServer folder only

Good moring!
Sorry about the noob question and if we're in the wrong area, but we just hired a web developer to create a database driven website as we currently serve static web pages and are accustomed to building/updating regular html pages that frustrate us because we waste a lot of time updating indvidual pages...
We've tried googling this topic without a clear understanding of how to get what needs to be done. Anywho, our question is actually two-fold and any help is truly, truly appreciated!
1. How do we set up a user account in the Workgroup Manager with privileges to read and write & have ftp access to the WebServer directory only and not admin the entire server box?
2. We're guessing the user needs access to other areas and apps on the server like mysql...what are the steps required to accomplish this as well?
Thank you all for your time!
Roland

Assuming that you've created the account for your web developer (web_developer for example), here's what you'd need to do:
1. If you use service ACLs, ensure that web_developer is either allowed to access FTP and Web services or that he/she is a member of a group that has access to those services. (Service ACLs are off by default.)
2. For the FTP server, you need to define a behavior. You can either share the FTP root and share points, users' home directories and share points or home directories only. I'd recommend FTP root and share points unless you have a reason not to do so. By default, your FTP root is stored in /Library/FTP Server, and symbolic links will be created there to point to share points that you've chosen to share via FTP.
3. For the Web service, you must define a site root. By default this is /Library/WebServer/Documents.
4. Assuming that you're using the default site root, here's what to do:
a. In Workgroup Manager, make /Library/WebServer/Documents a share point, enabling FTP Access in the Protocols tab.
b. Ensure that your other share points are not shared via FTP unless you want them to be.
c. Add an ACL entry for web_developer or a group that contains this account for the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder. The entry should allow read and write, with full inheritance. Ensure that the user www at least has read privileges to the site root.

How can I disable web/data access during certain hours?

I have added a feature to my wireless account restricting my daughter's text/data/surfing access during evening hours. I thought I was pretty clever and assumed she would only have access to her music on her iPhone. Turns out she can still access all she wants using our home WIFI so my sceme is rendered useless. Other than confiscating her phone each evening, does anyone know how I can restrict wifi on her phone during certain hours?
Also, does anyone have a nano? Thinking she could use that for music and to set her alarm, but I don't think the nano has an alarm function.
Thanks for your input!

No way to restrict it during certain hours. You can restrict it always, or never. Parental supervision is one solution. It's a losing battle to try to outwit children. It's better to require trust, with consequences if trust is breached.

How can a Win2K/XP user access my Shared folder as Guest?

Well, it's all in the question, guys. I don't want them to be able to log into my machine. All they need to do is send me some files or take some of mine from \Users\Shared. Surely it shouldn't be too difficult, right?
We're in an office wired LAN and I'm the only Mac among many incarnations of Windoze. Right now they all have to log in as 'Administrator' (just the accoune name, not the kind of account, of course...) but it means that I have to fiddle with the permissions of the shared dir in that user account so I can access it from my regular account ('Alex') and I would prefer something more straight forward. Such as a Guest User log-in option.
Many thanks.

Try Sharepoints. I'm not certain about this, but I think the only way to get access to a Mac over the network is to have an account on the Mac. So, you could set up "guest" as an account and let them log in as that, but it wouldn't give them access to the Shared folder. Sharepoints will let you "share" it out.

How to give select prvileges on objects in ONE schema only.

hi.. i wanna to do gve a select on tables only privilege to all objects in one schema only,
is there any single command that enable me to do so ?
or do i have to allocate priviledge to each and every schema objects available ?

I think there is no command that will give permission on all the objects in one go.
but u can do it in some tricky way.
some thing like this
spool permission.sql
SELECT 'grant select on '||TABLE_NAME|| ' to abc; ' FROM USER_TABLES
spool off
change the abc user with the real schema name
then run the permission.sql file connected with the user containing the tables.
first try this on some test db and check if it works

How can a Windows user remotely access their Home folder on a MacOSX Server

I have a staff member who would like to remotely access (ourside of our LAN) their Home folder on our Mac OSX server. Anyone know and willing to share the process?
Thanks

Hi Brad!
Generally, a VPN solution is best to allow someone access to your company network. VPN provides security and access to some or all of your company's network resources.
If AFP is allowed to pass through the VPN tunnel, then your user would connect via VPN first and then connect to the server with a connect string such as "afp://servername".
Or if your user's home folder is also shared as a Windows share, your user could connect via VPN first and then connect to the server with a connect string such as "smb://servername".
Hope this helps! bill

How do I Rename Mac Hard Drive with Home Folder Only?

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro with an SSD which has OSX Snow Leopard and my Applications, and the other hard drive has my Home Folder. I replaced the optical drive with the SSD.
The other hard drive has the standard name of 'Macintosh HD'. I need to change it to something without spaces in order to get some developer software to work (i.e., it can't have spaces in the workspace name, and now that my Home folder is on a drive that doesn't have OSX, it refers to it as '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/.../...'
I ran into a disaster by simply changing the 'Macintosh HD' name to 'MacintoshHD' - It prevented me from logging in and I had to use the OSX Install disk to use the command line to rename the hard drive back to 'Macintosh HD'. My guess is because my account was referencing a home folder location that no longer existed.
My question is how can I rename my hard drive with my Home Folder? Can I change the hard drive name, and then immediately change my Account to reference the new hard drive name (and thus the new location of my home folder), and then reboot? Will this work if I do this in this order? Or is there another way to handle this entirely?
I'm very hesitant to try this again as I don't want to have to go back and use the OSX install disk - my SSD took the place of the optical drive and I have to go and take it out, put it back in...etc.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards

I don't have a setup to test this, but you might try the following:
Create a second "normal" admin account with its home folder on the boot drive, then log out of your regular account and log into the new one. From there you could rename the large hard drive, then go to System Preferences>Accounts, select the first account, then right-click>Advanced options to change its home directory path to match the new HD name. That way you're not changing the home folder path "in mid-air."
It's probably a good idea to keep a tiny "self-contained" admin account on the boot drive anyway, so you don't get locked out in the event of future trouble accessing the large disk.

Smart Folders - How do I set it to search one particular folder only?

I want to set up a Smart Folder that will basically do the following:
1: Look in folder called "Client Work".
2: Find files modified in the last 1 week.
That's it. Point 2 I can easily manage, but I can't figure out how on earth I am supposed to set the Smart Folder to only apply its searches to one particular folder on my hard drive? I really can't figure out which option under "Other..." I am supposed to be using.
I'm sure there must be a simple solution though -- can someone please tell me what it is?
Thanks!

On the locations bar in the Finder Search window (where it says Servers Computer Home Others...) pick others and navigate to (with the + button), or drag the folder you want in the window and make sure it is the only folder selected. You will then have another button on the location bar Folder "Client Work". Select that button and save the search as a Smart Folder.

Restrict workgroup computers in accessing my shared folder

How to restrict workgroup computers in accessing my shared folder.
And only allow a specific system in the workgroup to have full control access to that shared folder.
Operating System :Windows Server 2003

Hi Tiju,
You cannot restrict access to a folder using computer accounts. The access to the share folder can only giving to everyone or local accounts if the network environment is
Workgroup.
Because the computer account never tries to access the shared folders. The access attempt is made by the user account; and if the user account isn't in the ACL of the file, he won't get access.

How a J2EE web application access CR reports stored on the CR Server XI?

Hi,
I'll be working on some crystal report templates that will eventually be hosted/publish on the CR Server XI.
My questions are:
1. How my J2EE web application access those reports?
2. Do my web application uses some CR API for the connectivity and integration?
3. What will happen to the database connectivity of the report template? since the report are created locally.
4. Can the report template be edited/updated on the server?
5. How the CR XI login functionality be involve in the integration (web application ---> CR Server XI)?
6. Is the J2EE web application be deployed on similar web/application server where the CR Server XI resides?
7. What is the role of RAS, Universe, Business View Manager to this whole CR integration?
I hope you can provide some guidance on this journey to Crystal Report world

1) Your application connects via the Java SDK using the appropriate JAR files.
2) It can. You can set the database information at runtime or use the already populated information from Enterprise.
3) Same as 2. Typically when you save the report to Enterprise you set up the database information there so that it runs against the database you want without prompting. You can change this via code to hit whatever equivalent database you want.
4) Yes. You would have to use RAS and the RCAPI to accomplish this via code. You can also make changes in the designer and overwrite the existing report template.
5) You will log in via code. The information on how to do so is in the SDK documentation, which I will link.
6) It can be deployed to the same machine as CR Server, though we recommend against that. Typically you will want to deploy it to a seperate web server and allow it to connect to the CR Server across the network.
7) RAS can be used to run reports, as well as the page server. The universe and business view manager are not directly used in code. If a report runs against a universe or business view then it will use them for data, but you wouldnt do anything with them directly.

How do I turn off Web Developer Toggle Tools to just use Inspector by itself?

I was using Inspector by itself. Sometimes Inspector has problems inspecting so I shut down Firefox and re-open it. I did this. When I reopened I use Ctrl + Option + i to open Inspector and it automatically opens Toggle Tools (all Web Developer options). I can find no help on how to switch it back to JUST using Inspector. The same thing happens with Debugger and Style Editor (their shortcodes open ALL the tools).
I can not get this function to turn off.

You should be able to use a menu bar at the top of the Developer Toolbox to select the various tools.
You can only select one tool at the time and opening the Inspector should give you an HTML panel and a Style panel
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Page_Inspector
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Page_Inspector/HTML_panel
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Page_Inspector/Style_panel
You can detach this panel via the two Doc button at the right hand side of the developer toolbar.<br />
The style panel moves to the the bottom if the window width is below a specific width.

I tested it with a couple different usernames and a couple different browsers and it works fine on my end.. but none the less it is happening to him. This is the second time it happened to two different clients.
??? Any ideas ??? Anyone else had this happen?

Here's the setup on the two machines in particular...
Machine #1:
XP Pro
Was IE7, now latest FF
No antivirus
Firewall – Windows Firewall, Downloaded AVG free trial ver., but not installed
Machine #2:
XP Pro
IE7
Again, No AV… had Kaspersky… but uninstalled it
Windows Firewall
Maybe that could be of some assistance... not seeing anything that could possibly block or inhibit the ICE. Each machine is independent of the other, separate networks, different locations, JavaScript enabled, no cookie blockers, etc.
....STUMPED!!!
