How to lock a MS office file to be viewed only with certificate?

Have you already looked at Active Directory Rights Management Services? Is that the sort of thing you're after?

Hello there,
I`m having the following task - I need to lock a certain MS Office files (Word, Excel...) to be viewed only by certain people on my domain, which already had a digital certificate which is issued by AD Certification Authority, running on Windows Server 2012 R2.
The task is that these certain people can view the files but if they copy the files to another location or send them by e-mail or other way the files to be locked even for openening.
I`m not pretty sure if this can be done only with the mentioned certificates so I`m open to any suggestions of the topic.
Thanks in advance for the info and the help.

File Lock - How to lock and unlock a file ? Can we do that for an FTP File?

Hi All,
I like to retrieve a file from the FTP server using Apache Commons Net libraries.
for example if the file size is 20MB. When the file is in the progress of copying or transferring from the FTP server i need to lock the local file which is in our local directory so that no other process will use the same local file which is in the process of copying otherwise partially copied files will be used by another process.
the file should be locked when it was in the progress of copying from the server. I have an automatic process which will access file objects at certain time and try to process the files.
I like to know the simplest and easiest way to lock and unlock a file object locally which is trying to copy a file from the FTP server which is of huge size.
And also i like to know how to lock and unlock a file in general?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

we can set it read only only when it complete finishing the writing.
can we able to make the file as read-only while transferring data to file.
How to achieve it ? pls give me some sample code

HT4847 how can i store ms office files in iCloud?

how can i store ms office files in iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To store Office files on iCloud, you need Numbers, Keynote or Pages, depending of the files you want to upload (Word, PowerPoint or Excel).
First, if you haven't done it, open App Store and purchase Keynote, Numbers and/or Pages. Then, if you have OS X Mountain Lion, when you open the app, you will see an iCloud window where you can drag your Office documents to be uploaded to iCloud.
If you don't have OS X Mountain Lion, open http://www.icloud.com, login with your Apple ID, select iWork and drag your Office documents

How can i display a portlet in the Edit view only ?

Dear All,
I'm developing a portal in which the end user can change the content of the portal page (personalize) using Edit smart link and i ask How can i display a portlet in the Edit view only ? not shown in the production view ?

Last time I heard with Oracle they said the only way is to look at the current URL. If it contais _mode=16 then we are in edit mode.
This is a function I use:
FUNCTION inEditMode return boolean is
bEdit boolean := false;
begin
if PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_mode', 'qaz') = '16' then
bEdit := true;
end if;
return bEdit;
end inEditMode;
Kind regards

How does Rights Managament handle office files containing OLE objects?

I tried to encrypt those office flies that contain multiple OLE objects but it failed. I wondered if those OLE objects caused this problem so I removed them out of files. Then the encryption process worked fine again. However I'm not sure OLE object is the root cause. Is anyone know the process how rights management handle these kind of office files?
Can Rights Managamenet skip the OLE objects and still make those offce files encrypted successfully?
Thanks.

The Temp Files were in my case at :MobileSync/backup
everytime the restore failes, itunes creates a folder named with the same name adding the crash date and time
in my case for the backup folder name "1d950ba8cfaab2fa172120ae6212c788ed9b07c"
itunes creates folder named: "1d950ba8cfaab2fa172120ae6212c788ed9b07c-20131229-004508"
which you have to delete to restore your disk space.

Authentication prompt issue when opening an office file in a document library with read permission for domain users

An user as part of the domain users tries to open an office file from a document library but he got an authentication prompt asking him to authenticate. Domain users has only access to this library and not to the whole site. This uses to work in SharePoint
2007 without any problem but not in SharePoint 2013, we didn't have a workflow on SP2007.
Domain users has read access to only this document library in the site, but he shouldn't get an authentication prompt since he is part of the domain users and he is not trying to modify the document, he can open the document but gets two prompts, he can't
also see the list using explorer view since nothings appears using the explorer view.
Now, when opening the file, we can see..Updating Workflow Status, but we don't have any workflow working on this site or library, event any feature related to workflow.
If we go to the event viewer in the server, we find this information,
I also checked this thread but I couldn't find this scenario.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/91bc770b-bb70-4885-a4ad-a243edb88753/event-id-8026-workflow-soap-getworkflowdataforitem-failed-doc-library-no-workflow?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
I also created another list with the same permissions and using other office files but got the same behavior.
Now, we have migrated this site from SP2007 to SP2013.
Any ideas?

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

How Do I Reverse Order Of Files In Icon View ?

My folder has files in Icon View arranged according to Date Created.
However, the last ones come first ........ how can I reverse the order so that the last ones come at the end?
It's easy in List view as you just click the triangle but how do you do it in Icon View?

Thanks Kappy - it was not mine but a neighbours question.
Originally they had the icons starting with the oldest but I think they must have had the "Arrange by" window set to none, so the files were in the order of creation. Then someone must have hit the "Date" button!

HT2506 How can I open uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf with Preview?

Problem (A)
When I try to open some PDFs, such as uscis.gov/files/form/n-400.pdf with OS X Preview, I get the error message:
"Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries."
Apple presents Preview as being a better substitute for Adobe Reader, but in this case it does not work at all. (I think this may relate to PDFs with entry fields in them.)
Problem (B)
If I set the documents having this problem to be opened with Adobe Reader instead of Preview, the next time I save them from Adobe Reader, they are reset to open with Preview again.
I thus have to always do Open with… for them, or else set all my PDF documents to be opened with Adobe Reader.
Can anyone offer any workarounds for problem (A) or (B)?
Does anyone know Apple's position on problem (A)? Will they eventually fix Preview so that it opens PDF documents such as the one above, or will Preview only ever work on a sub-set of PDF documents?
If Adobe is refusing to provide Apple the information needed to open certain types of PDF documents, does anyone know Adobe's position on this?
Thank you

What version O/S do you have? 10.7.4 is latest.
I have something for you to try. I'm reading that Lion supports two different types of file-type association. That is, in addition to a global ".PDF opens with Preview" you can also have a file-by-file setting to over-ride the global one and have it open is something else - like Adobe Reader.
So, how about you test this out to see if its true?
First chainge your global .PDF back to Preview:
http://osxdaily.com/2009/10/25/change-file-associations-in-mac-os-x/
Or reset everything back to defaults:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1282118
Then when you come accross something that won't open in Preview, use this to set just that file to open in Adobe Reader:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/15/easily-set-file-association-in-mac-os-x-lion-usin g-always-open-with-app/
There is also a utility for controlling the file-type settings - but - I don't know if it supports this new feature:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14618/rcdefaultapp
(if this a new feature and hasn't been around all along and I just didn't know about it)

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).
