Loading a security certificate for OWA mail using Palmcertificates

Hello,
   Need to load a security certificate from my employer to utilize my outlook mail.  After using "PalmCertificates" the program looks for the Palmquickinstall.  Since I have the desktop with the install tool, the certificate program does not recognize this and gives me an error "Can't find Quickinstall"...  How can we install security certificates onto a Centro (sprint network)...
I appreciate the help in advance.  Thanks.

    What is the best security package for an imac using Yosimity

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • Update Secure Certificate for Mail (Identification and Encryption)

    Hello...
    Can you help?
    I have several email addresses; all of which have valid secure certificates (stored by default automatically in Key Chain).
    Whereas previously the certificates did not feature my name, new ones have been issued which do.
    So... my question is as follows:
    How do I point Mail to use the new certificates that have my name engrained within, opposed to the older ones which do not?
    Thank you, in advance.
    A

    Hi ... I have been struggling with exactly this point, too. Try out the new Leopard feature called "New preferred Identity". For this open keychain, go to my certificates and control-click on each certificate individually as choose "new preferred identity". Here you can type the e-mail address and choose one of your certificates to be used "preferably". This is the official Apple way of doing it and you may read further information in the support section. Please let me know if it works with you!
    In any case, it hasn't worked for me. I had to delete all old certificates for the same e-mail address and keep only the most recent one with my real-life name in it (you can delete right in keychain). After restart mail.app only uses the new certificate for signing e-mails.
    You would expect that deleting the old certificate destroys your ability to read the older encrypted e-mails. But the good news is that everytime you open an e-mail with your old certificate mail.app will add the old certificate back to keychain and you can again read your encrypted e-mails which used the 'public' key from the old certificate. Although mail.app will add the old certificates again it will continue to use the new certificate. I call this a work-around because really the "new identity preference" should have worked.
    I hope I helped you.

  • Invalid security certificate for my website host-they say the problem is Apple Safari and use Firefox instead

    For the past few days, I keep getting an invalid security certificate in Safari whenever I select Edit My Site from my website homepage (http://annaporterartist.com), or whenever I select anything requiring a secure log in from my website host main page (FASO.com). I have contacted technical support at my website host (fineartstudioonline.com) and they say that this has been an intermittently recurring problem in Safari for years and they recommend that I use Firefox instead. As proof of this they emailed a link to an Apple Support discussion, but it was for Mac OS X Lion v 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1, even though I told them I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion v 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2. I do not get this error message anywhere else on the web using Safari. I did try Firefox and it seems to work fine, but I prefer Safari and I want to know why Safari is not working as it should be. I am concerned that there is a real security problem with my website host and I need someone to explain why I am getting this error message, what it means, and if it is, in fact, a known problem with Safari or is my website host corrupted? Really tired of technical support playing pass the buck or pretending the problem does not exist.
    The specific error message is:
    Their response to my inquiry and my reply is shown below:

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    From the menu bar, select

    There are three menus in the window. What is selected in each of them?

  • Firefox (21.0) won't accept the security certificate for Twitter & won't let me add an exception.

    My mother was having problems with her computer on the Internet and had to reset the modem. Problem was, I was on the Internet at the time using Twitter. She reset the modem, I thought everything was okay, but now Firefox isn't letting me access Twitter at all because of the security certificate. Here's the error message:
    This Connection is Untrusted
    You have asked Firefox to connect
    securely to twitter.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely,
    sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
    going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to
    this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
    trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
    twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is not trusted.
    The certificate is only valid for gateway.2wire.net
    (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
    gatway.2wire.net is the default error page for my modem, if the Internet is not working at all. I think the problem here is that now Firefox thinks the legitimate site for Twitter is the error page and not, well, Twitter.com. Also, I'm not getting any "add exception" option. How do I fix this?

    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":

    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Same certificates for two servers using Sun Java WS 6.1sp5 with Crypto card

    Hi,
    I have 2 Sun java webserver 6.1 sp5 installed on two machines as :
    Single webserver1 instance on hostmachine1
    Single webserver1 instance on hostmachine2.
    (both instance names are same)
    I have created server certificate and installed it using External cryptographic module: Sun Crypto Accelerator 500 on hostmachine1.
    It is perfectly working fine.
    Now,for hostmachine2, I created trust database with same password as for hostmachine1, I copied the two files
    https-webserver1-hostmachine1-key3.db and
    https-webserver1-hostmachine1-cert8.db from hostmachines1 and then put on the hostmachines2 (in an serverroot/alias folder ) and then renamed them as
    https-webserver1-hostmachine2-key3.db and
    https-webserver1-hostmachine2-cert8.db
    Then I went to preferences->Edit socket listen, but security was disabled.
    I restarted the webserver, but security was still disabled.
    What is the problem??
    Please inform me as well as at my email address [email protected]
    Please do reply me as I am waiting anxiously.
    Thanks.
    Taqi

    Hello,
    The problem you are reporting is not expected.
    Hope you are not trying on admin server.
    I am not sure why you removed all files from alias directory.
    Please do the following in a fresh installation:-
    1) install ws6.1sp5.
    2) copy cert and key db from the working systems to the alias
    directory of the instance.
    3) move the db files to the new name (make this name right).
    4) through admin server GUI select instance (Manage server).
    5) go to edit listen socket.
    6) turn on security and select OK.
    7) then press Apply button.
    8) then press Apply changes.
    9) it will restart your instance server and will ask you for the password.
    10) supply the security password of the first server.
    11) it will restart your instance server in https mode.
    This works fine.

  • What is the option client certificate for user authentication used for?

    Hi All,
    I have to work on a FTPS - XI -SAP scenario.
    I can see an option for client certificate for user authentication when security is enabled for the FTP adapter. what exactly is this option used for?
    P.S: I went through sap help but couldnt quite understand.

    Thanks a lot Mark.
    So for a FTPS -> XI -> SAP scenario the following settings are required.
    1. I have to create a certificate in Visual Admin for the XI server , send a csr to a CA and get it signed by them, and i have to add this to the ssl_service view.
    2. I have to hand over the public key to the FTPS server & this key will be used for encryption of the file
    the above 2 steps are mandatory.
    If i choose to use the client certificate option , i have to get the client certificate from the FTPS server and add it into the TrustedCAs list. This certificate is just to imply that the client is what it claims to be.
    Will this certificate be used for encryption?
    To make it clear let me put it this way. The certificate created in the XI Server is used for encryption and also for ascertaining that the its what it claims to be.
    The clients certificate option is used only to make sure that the client is what its claiming to be & this is not used for encryption?

  • Security Certificate for BizTalk server

    Hello,
    We need to have a party certificate for EDI communication for ourselves, as required by some of our trading partners. Currently we have EDI implemented but moving to BizTalk platform. So we do have a certificate for our party in our current AS2 software.
    My question is, can we use the same certificate for our party once moved to BizTalk (different computer, different environment). And if not, where would you go to obtain one?
    Thanks a lot!
    Galina

    Hi Galina,
    You can use the same certificate which you used in non-BizTalk to BizTalk EDI integration. Security by using certificate is not specific to BizTalk; it’s all related to cryptography and digital signature.
    BizTalk just provides a way to support those security implementations. So you can very well use the same certificates used in non BizTalk to BizTalk environment as part of your migration.
    For party resolution, you have to use the public certificate of your trading partner. So this certificate must have been shared to you by your trading partner. In your non-BizTalk EDI communication for party
    resolution you would have used this public key/certificate. This certificate (public key) is not related to BizTalk or non-BizTalk EDI products. This is used to implement public-private key pair of digital signature. For BizTalk you have to install this public
    certificate in “Other People store”
    Just and additional info, if you don’t have this (or misses this in future) you have to get this public key from your trading partner to whom you exchange EDI messages.
    If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful.

  • What are the foreign security certificates for?

    I see a lot of foreign security certificates stored for FireFox. What are these and can I delete them? Some are from Taiwan, China, Turkey and Spanish countries.

    That are built-in root certificates that are used to trust websites that you access via a secure (https) connection.
    You can't remove a built-in root certificate.
    You can edit the trust bits of built-in root certificates and uncheck all trust bits to prevent Firefox from using the certificate as a root certificate if you really want to, but that isn't recommended.

  • Invalid security certificate for all websites on Mac (sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    Since connecting to my university network, a message in Firefox systematically keeps popping up for every website. I'm now using internet somewhere else - where I've been connected many times before without a problem - and firefox keeps annoyingly giving me this message.
    This is the message: cs-700-main(...):443 uses an invalid security certificate. This certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. Sec_error_unknown_issuer.
    Apparently the organization issuing the certificate is 'vernier networks, inc.'.
    I am using a Macbook bought recently and didn't have any problems until I connected to my university network. I'm not really familiar with Macs, so I don't really know what to do at this point to fix this. Apparently, people have had this problem before but no one has been able to help them. Can anyone help? This is really frustrating and it means I have to turn to Safari or Google Chrome!!
    Thanks

    It is related to browser settings do,
    Firefox -> Tools -> Advanced -> view certificates -> servers -> Add exceptions
    and add the your url in that dialogue box.

  • Installing Secure Certificates for Acessing WLAN

    We have a secure WiFi access network at our office.It uses a .der certificate for root and a .p12 certificate for individual users. I have a Nokia E51. Can you assist me as to how I can install these certificates and access the secure WiFi Lan in my workplace.

    Hi,
    first you would need to install the required certificates to the phone by using pc suite or memory card. Then at the office scan for the wifi networks and creat access point for your company's wifi. After access point is created, go to it's security settings and configure needed EAP settings for it. How to configure EAP depends on what EAP type your company's wifi is using.

  • Installing Secure Certificates in SOAP Scenarios using Business Service

    We are working on SOAP synchronous scenarios and we are creating Business service for the same. IF We need to communicate through HTTPs protocol then will it be possible to install the SSL certificates as we are using Business Service ?
    It was said intalling certificates will only be possible when we use Business System but not Business Service.

  • Default security context for signed applets using WinXP+IE8

    What is the default security context for signed applets from the internet zone using Java 6 and WinXP+IE8 combination? My guess is that all file and socket access available for the user's Windows account is provided to the applet as well. Is this correct and if so, is there a way to limit these access privileges for signed applets from the internet zone?
    This information is surprisingly difficult to find given how security concious people now are using the internet.

    AntonBoer wrote:
    Thank you for your swift reply.
    Unfortunately your answer reflects to my worst fears. Frankly I find this security model naiive. Anyone with euros can get their applet signed so that is no security control at all.The same naive security model applies to just about anything signed and downloaded; not just to Java Applets.

I would have expected Sun to put more effort into this but it appers nothig have changed in this regard for 10 years.I don't see this as a Sun problem; it is indicative of what I consider to be a general security weakness for all computer systems. For example, for Windows, Vista just added more user involvement in the trust process but it still allows programs to run pretty much unconstrained if the user agrees to them running.
    For some time I have advocated a more fine grained approach. I would like to see ALL programs run in a sandbox that a user can specify what and what cannot be done by each individual program. Unfortunately, this would annoy the hell out of most users so it has little chance of every of ever being accepted. The average user just wants a run-and-forget-about-security model.
