Input user password with AR?

Hi,
I've read http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrfaq.html and other sources regarding commenting PDFs with the Acrobat Reader.
There are tools out there to encrypt a pdf-file and set a user password. If I do this the document security shows, that it is possible to add comments to the document (with the user password).
But how do I enter the user password with AR? If a master password is set, a popup windows appears after opening the document, but what is the user password good for?
There is a plugin in my AR9.0 which is for commenting PDFs.
greetings from germany
Stefan K.

Hi,
thanks Bernd,
"There are a permission password and a open password."
ok
"Owners of the open password can open the PDF document."
ok
"Owners of the permission password can change the security settings."
ok, but
- changing the permissions requires Adobe Acrobat, right? not the AReader?
- why are the document properties different in the document properties screen in AR?
see: http://users.minet.uni-jena.de/~zsk/pdfs/StundenplanAR813.png
this suggests that the permission password (user password?) is for protecting the document properties, which are listet there - not - for protecting the change of the security settings.
- why are the document properties(*) different when opening the same document via Adobe Acrobat?
see: http://users.minet.uni-jena.de/~zsk/pdfs/StundenplanA812std.png
(*) this looks like the so called document properties are not properties of the document but properties of the adobe appl. I use to open it.
this is all really confusing.
Here is my questiong again: Is it possible to add comments to a document via AR if it has a user password? -> (why does the document security window in StundenplanAR813.png show a Commenting: Allowed?? and why does a Addon in AR exisist that is called Comments??)
greetings
Stefan K.

  • How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

(This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository.<BR><BR>Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. <BR><BR>I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs.

  • Managing users passwords with ADF

    Hi,
    We have created an user manager application wich edits Realm Users. Since we change the realm to use SHA encription we would like to have the password field encrypted before ADF updates the table ....
    There is a clean way of doing this ?
    So far we thought on overwriting the OnCommit method for the datapage and in there modify the request object but there is nothing like a request.setParameter( String, String ) .... and apparently is the request.parameter the one that ADF will endup sendind to the datafield ....
    Again, there is a direct way of doing this other than locating afterwards the viewObject Row and updating the unencrypted password with the encripted version ????
    Thanks,
    Omar

    Hi
    Put the code in YourEOImpl.java
    public void setPassword(String value) {
    String encryptedPassword = null;
    encryptedPassword = ....; // your encryption implementation
    setAttributeInternal(PASSWORD, encryptedPassword);
    Hope this help

  • Change user password with CUA

    When I attempt to change a password on a CUA child, I enter tocde SU01 and enter the account. The I was to reset password via the icon. When I select the change password icon (shift+ F8) and then the popup window appear to prompting you to enter and reenter password.
    After I enter new pwd twice the screen stays nothing happen pop screen stay up and no status is reported back on the status bar at the bottom.

    Any ideas?

    There was a similar (unconclusive) discussion recently ( Screen not getting refreshed after reseting password ), for which I found the following thread:

  • Allow a windows non-administrator user to run cmd.exe as administrator without sharing administrator password with the user

    I have standalone Windows 2003 and 2008 Oracle database servers (they are not in a Windows domain environment ). The Oracle DBAs can perform all their routine activities from command line with administrator privileges. For this i've to either share administrator
    user password with the Oracle DBAs or add their windows login user to Administrators group. If i can give the DBA user permission to run windows command prompt without sharing administrator password, i can give them non-administrator login access to Windows
    2003/2008 server. Normally when a non administrator user would try to run a program as administrator on Windows 2008, the user is prompted to input administrator username/password. Is it possible to give non-admin user access to run a program/application (cmd.exe
    in this case) on Windows 2003/2008 without sharing administrator credentials with them?

    With the OTORISER application I developed, normal users can run applications with admin privilege …  
    Otoriser is totally free ! Applications, mmc consoles, control panel cpl files can be run under admin and system context with Otoriser. Let’s say you donot want your users to be admin in their machines, but want them to run some applications with admin rights.
    If this is the case then you are on the right blog.
    There are two components for Otoriser. Management and client components. There are no complex implementation and no frustrating steps to be performed. Within 10 minutes you can start testing the results
    After you download the setup files, install client components in the client by running it directly (or any deployment method you have), it will take about 5 seconds to install it. Then, let’s say you want your user to change system properties of the machine.
    With the tool provided in Admin package produce the hash of system.cpl file and enter that hash into the group policy (details are provided in documentation). When policies are applied for that user then he or she can run that control panel applet under admin
    context but donot forget that the user is still an ordinary user.

  • My MacBook Pro will not allow me to log in at the user screen. It sits frozen and will not prompt me to input my password.

    My MacBook Pro will not allow me to log in at the user screen. It sits frozen and will not prompt me to input my password.

    If the normal restart doesn't work, and you restart on the recovery hard drive, from the choices of things to do window that appears, select Terminal, and in the Terminal window type: resetpassword and then press enter.  You will have a window with the users to choose from to reset the password.  Select the one you want and you will be able to reset the password, double entry of course.

  • Multiple users\passwords on the same website with Safari

    Coming over from Netscape for MAC to Safari.
    Here is the issue-- In Netscape I was able to have multiple users/passwords for the same website page. Netscape controls its users/passwords; not the keychain. With Safari everytime I try to enter the second user/password this wipes out the first user and password.
    Is there a way with Safari to have mutlple users/passwords for the same website page?
    Thanks,

  • Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.

    Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.com has rejected my password. The password is correct (I'm able to check my e-mail through my browser at me.com), but for some reason Mail keeps on rejecting it. I usually don't have to input my password at all in Mail. Any clue how to fix this? I haven't changed anything at all on my laptop.

    I did change my apple ID password though...

  • I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect because it locked with password. I can't input the password becasue it showing no service and needs to be restored.

    I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?

    You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
    To put your iPod/iPhone  into recovery mode:
    1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
    2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
    3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
    4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
    5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
    After that you should be up and running in no time!
    I hope that this is helpful.

  • Problem with Notifications on Create User/ Change User Password

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem sending emails to users when an account is created in OIM.
    I added a notification to the user and user's manager on the Create User task in the Xellerate User process definition but the emails are not being sent.
    I know that if I create another task with the purpose of sending emails and invoke it through the response in the Create User task, it will work.
    My aim is to avoid adding tasks for something OIM should be able to do OOTB.
    I'm also unable to send an email when a password is updated.. I did the same thing as for the Create User and I know the task (Change User Password) is being invoked by looking at the logs but the emails aren't being sent.
    Has anyone ran into such problems?
    I'm having these problems in the Xellerate User process task.. i've added notifications in other process tasks (mainly approval tasks) and they are working fine.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I am just confuse with your response.Have you added the "Password Updated" task in xellerate user provisioning process?
    Now if you changing password in OIM profile it will trigger "Change User Password" task not the "Password Updated" task and even if you add "Password Updated" task on Xellerate User provisioning task you can't see this task in Resource Details.
    Now assume if you added your notification on "Password Updated" task of any resource which user is provisioned to even then when you change oim password it only trigger "Change User Password" task.So try to have your notification on "Change User Password" task.
    Please clarify so that I can response correctly.
    Regards

    How did you change your user name?
    resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.
