Need to Allow Certain Third-Party Applications via MDM

I just deployed a computer lab of iMacs and Minis and am using Yosemite/Server 4 to manage them. All computers are running 10.10.1
I Profile Manager>Restrictions, I want to allow users to use many native OS X applications but additionally I need to allow a handful of third-party applications to run.
In Restrictions>Apps I have the option to "Restrict which apps are allowed to launch" and then create an allow list but it only allows native apps to be added. There is the option to allow and disallow folders, but no indication of where (Users or Mac HD Level) or how (naming and file path) those folders should be configured.
Can anyone give me some resources or pointers here?
I will add that this is my first OS X server deployment. I am well versed in the AD environment as well as the OS X as operating system.

Negative. I want to allow users to open a specific list of applications--both native and third-party while disallowing others. For example: I want to be able to open Safari, Pages, Net Beans and Google Chrome but not Terminal, FaceTime, and Photo Booth.

Submitting to third party application and post back creating refresh issue

Hi,
I am doing a web application in which I need to hit a third party application from a view and come back to the same view if the third party sends a response back.
For this I am getting the adfCtrlState and submitting it as a postbackurl for the third party.
After coming back to the same view from the third party, I need to go to the next activity in the taskflow without any user interaction.
I am using the following code to find the next activity
<af:commandButton text="AutoSubmit" id="cb2"
action="processResponse"
binding="#{pageFlowScope.responseBean.braodCastAction}"
visible="false"/>
In the responseBean : I am using the RichCommandButton to broadcast event
RichCommandButton myEvent;
public RichCommandButton getMyEvent(){
if(conditions satisfied){
myEvent.broadcast(new ActionEvent(myEvent));
The above code is executing the action(processResponse) specified in the commandButton.
But it is not able to find the next activity in the taskflow, if a hit F5(refresh) it is rendering the next view in the taskflow.
My primary requirement is to execute or render the next method call activity or view after coming back from the third party application without user interaction. Is there any other way to go to the next activity without broadcasting the event ?*
Thanks
Mohan.

Hi there
I see some flaws with that.

Dev files need to always be local. Placing on a network share for the purposes of using RoboHelp to compile or generate is risky business and may explode in your face. LMS to me means Learning Management System. Those are typically used for eLearning. RoboHelp does help systems. Captivate does eLearning. So you are losing me with your LMS reference.
When ready to review with the customer, the would use the registration tool to push the project to preview.
I'm lost. What "registration tool" are you even referring to here? Or is this what you are planning on creating and that's what you are choosing to call it?
The app would call the RH command prompt using a server side technology, in my case .NET, and supply the necessary arguments and push the generated project to preview.
There is no "preview" of projects. Preview of individual topics, sure. But not for a project. There is only compile or generate to create the final output.
Once it had been reviewed and ready, then the user could push to production.
Sounds like what one might typically accomplish using RoboHelp in a typical development cycle. You edit content on the local hard drive. If a review is needed, you compile or generate the content and place the output on a server. After approval is complete the content is then copied to the production server.
Sure sounds like you are attempting to reinvent the wheel in many situations here.
Cheers... Rick

My third party applications keep de-activating. How do I fix this?

Hi everyone!
I am wondering if anyone can be of help to me. I am desperate.
I upgraded to Mavericks and am currently on version 10.9.5.
I have numerous third party applications...to name the two important ones,
most of them are video effects from New Blue FX and the other ones are just like converters etc.
I have had no problems with them in the beginning when I upgraded to Mavericks and
certainly no problems before Mavericks. Now all of a sudden, every time I try to use
these applications, it keeps saying that I am running on trial version and that I need
to activate the product with the activation code. This has never happened before and
it certainly has not got to do with a certain app as it is happening with all my applications
that require an activation code. I have to keep activating the apps everyday so that I can
use them and it is becoming really annoying and I don't know how to fix this.
I am sure it is something simple as my computer has been absolutely GREAT since
I have updated to Mavericks. Everything has been so much faster and just amazing until
this new problem. This is the only problem I have. I have checked and I have done ALL updates.
I am a video editor and I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and these continuous activations are
really not helpful for me when I am trying to concentrate and use my effects.
But like I said, it cannot be just the effects I use for adobe as applications that
are not associated to adobe at all are being affected as well.
If you guys could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!
I am really desperate! By the way, I am working on an iMac with Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.5.
Thank you so much!

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Logoff third party applications

Hello,
We have integrated a couple of SAP-independent third-party applications into SAP EP (NetWeaver 2004s SPS11) by use of appintegrator. Some of these applications are located in different domains as the portal itself. These applications have usually logoff URLs. How can I achieve an automatic logoff from all backend applications when logging off from portal? I have read something about DSM Termination, but this seems to work mostly for SAP Backends.
Thanks for your help and any ideas.
Elmar

Hi Sonja,
Yes, you are correct . The DSM terminator only works in case of SAP backend systems which are following the domain rule. This is as the DSM terminator calls a certain component in the backend to ensure the log off.
The Enterprise portal is not aware by default of the third party application sessions that exists. you need to write a custom portal service, which keeps a tab on the external application sessions open and also which initiates a close of session on the 3rd party backend. As you have guessed that this particular method might require a modification of the application integrator component to suit the need and communicate with the Custom Portal service mentioned.
cheers,
Shantanu .

Third party applications don`t work!!!!!!

Hi I really need help here I have a bb 9530 verizon(my uncle`s) cause my last phone broke a bb 9300 3G.i have set up the bb but I really don't know what I'm doing so every thing works fine except third party applications because when ever I go into a third party app for e.g... whatsapp it comes up with a message : <app name> has attempted to connect to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy. and after saying OK I get another message: unable to open folder.java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied  that always happens!!!! Please help me I'm really getting tired of this.P.S I don't know much about where the phone came from(country)and I'm in south Africa and on mtn and I don`t know about the previous settings or any of that all I know is the model and that its my uncles so please help.
Regards:fruityboy78

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
What you have is a BB that was previously associated with a corporate/BES system, and the IT Policy that was placed onto the device by BES was never properly cleansed, even though the BB was removed from the BES system (cleansing the BB is NOT an automatic function). Until that is gone from the BB, you will have this problem.
The other problem you have is that the only remedy will totally wipe your BB clean of everything -- data, apps, configurations, etc. It will be as if it was brand new again, fresh from the factory. The problem here is that, from what you say, you probably don't know the first thing about what you need to do in order to proper re-configure after you cleanse the IT Policy off of the BB. So doing so could render your BB useless since you don't know any of the settings you would need to accomplish this task.
All in all, what you need to do is a rather complex set of things, requiring you to know what you are doing, and know the necessary configuration items in order to get your BB working again. If you are willing to undertake that mess, then we can give you the necessary procedure...if you are not willing, then you likely should seek out some paid support from someone who does know what they are doing and can perform the necessary steps for you.
Good luck and let us know!

How to call the RFC's from the third party applications or Non SAP applicat

Hi,
For calling RFC's from the wedynpro , SAP has provided the modeling concept.
In the same way, if i want to access or call the RFC 's from the third applications or Non SAP applications what is the procedure and what is the methodoligy.
As per my knowledge, we need to expose those RFC's as webservices . Then we must be able to acces in hetrogeous environment from any third party applications..
Please revert back soon, It is very urgent.
Regards
Vijay

Ayyappa Raj,
Thanks for the reply.
Please let me the detailed information for implementing.
AS you said . I need expose the RFC's as webservice. This point is clear to me.
2) Use tthe JCo to connect and create client proxy.
Can u please elabrate the above point?
If u have any steps created in the document or url to refer. Please forward it to me.
Please forwar the document to this id "vijay00" in yahoo.
AS the sdn is not allowing to give the maill id i have given only the id details in yahoo.
I am new to this procedure.

Integration of third party application on Weblogic Portal 10.3

Hi,
Need help on how can we integrate a third party application running on HTTP with weblogic portal application.
SCENARIO
we have a separate linux box running an application using PHP, MySQL & Apache.
We want to render this on portal using CPP (Content Presenter Portlets) or HTML/JSP portlets.
One way I can think of is to use IFrame in HTML/JSP portlets & involve the URL of this application.
Is there anyway to use WSRP?
I read the documentation on WSRP - It says that even a non-portal application can be integrated but that application should be having portlets running.
But this 3rd party doesn't have any portlets running.
Can anyone help on the same?

Iframe portlets are certainly possible and the simplest approach. You can also look at using Clipper portlets: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14244/clipper.htm#g1108243

Allow limited third-party cookies?

A blog I frequent recently switched commenting to Disqus.com, which requires the browser to allow that site to install cookies (or otherwise access the cookies, I won't claim expertise here) even though I never actually visit that site. The upshot of this is that, in Safari, I must either allow all third party cookies or not comment. Firefox, which also had a helpful notice telling me that I needed to allow Disqus.com to use the cookies, allows one to specify specific URLs without having to allow every URL.
Can I do something similar in Safari? might the feature be available soon? is there some plug-in or other application which can overcome this obstacle?

Not that I am aware of, but I have Cookie Preferences set to 'Accept cookies only for sites I visit', but I only wish to retain cookies for the sites i regularly visit, like these forums and others.
To that end I use a small app called SafariCookies:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which only works on Leopard and Snow Leopard. This adds an item in Safari Preferences whereby you can automatically delete all cookies on shutdown, except those particular 'favourite' ones you wish to retain to avoid entering your user name and password each time you visit.
It would seem that Disqus want you to allow their advertisers to install cookies on your Mac. I would not allow them to do that.

Realtime data integration with Third party application

A customer wants to send data to a third party application when a user modifies some information on a business object (ie PO Amount, Employee Name etc). How can you trap this change as close to realtime as possible within SAP?

In addition to Senthil's reply, it may also be possible to hook into a workflow event, provided such an event is raised. Whilst I prefer the change pointer approach outlined by Senthil, it does enforce a delay between the "application event" itself and change pointer processing.
To see if a workflow event is raised, in a non-production system, use transaction SWU8 to activate the workflow trace. Next perform the update that you wish to trap. Finally, use transaction SWU9 to display the workflow log. Hopefully you'll see a workflow event raised for your update (for example a CHANGED event).
This will allow you to perform either synchronous or asynchronous processing immediately (the norm is for workflow processing to be triggered immediately but asychronously).
It would be great if all SAP objects supported a common event model, with BADI's for standardised events for create, change, etc. Maybe one day, but not today...
Cheers,
Scott

ITunes cant sync music. Third party applications can.

So i posted a discussion ages ago about iTunes not being able to sync my music. I have tried 5 PC's with different Windows OS's and even some Mac Machines. Before iOS7 it worked fine, then the beta was used and it did not work since even having wiped the phone and used the public release.
Anything that could narrow down the issue would be nice. It just syncs and sits on 'waiting for items to copy' and then just times out. Phone loses the whirling arrows and then iTunes gets stuck in 'Cancelling Sync' which it never does and needs force closing. Same exact issue on all PC's.
MediaMonkey - Same music, same PC, same cable and same phone... Works fine. All 3800 songs.
So my question to you all is, why can iTunes no longer sync my music yet third party applications can...? (they use the iTunes mobile device drivers)
Trying to contact apple when outside of warranty is near impossible without paying. This was broken before my warranty expired but didnt have the time to go down. They also just removed my question for some reason so posting it again.

Now that I've read all the documentation,
Which people normally do before they do something but hey ho off we go
I see that there is only one copy of backup data saved (for what possible reason????)
Because the considered view is that you will be keeping regular backups of your computer in general which would keep these 'last backups' that way. Thats what Time Machine on the Mac does.
So I'm hosed. iTunes not only deleted my apps (presumably an iTunes bug)
Its not a bug - you deleted the content of the phone presumably.
but I read on one forum where someone had re-synced and got his apps back.
Correct, by following the instructions which instruct you to disable automatic synce before restoring to stop the autosync overwriting the last backup.
I tried that and in the process it automatically deleted my good backup I guess.
No, you didnt do it correctly, but don't panic. All free Apps can be downloaded again as can all purchased Apps as long as you log in with your original iTunes account. They will all come back just fine.
This seems really like a really dumb way to do it, Apple.
Not really - the instructions are quite explicit but reading them after the event or not at all is even dumber.
Get downloading those Apps again

Unable to delete third party applications

I have several third party applications that i want to delete on my 8320 Curve. I've read many forum posts on the several ways of deleting them and i have hit a brick wall:
1. The applications are not visible in Advanced Options > Applications, however their modules are when i choose to view > Modules. However when i select the modules which i want to delete, there is no delete option. (The option is there for other applications which i dont want to delete!!)
2. Several of these applications were installed via PocketMac for Blackberry, and even those will not delete when i choose the uninstall option.
Is there any way of getting rid of these third party applications without resetting my Blackberry, or the use of a Windows program?
Thanks in advance.

Hi...
You can backup your entire device and reload the os. Using the application loader, you can uncheck third party apps once you start the application loader and reload the device. You can use a third party tool like JL Commander to wipe the device prior to the reload and then reload the OS and then be given the opportunity to load what you want. You will have to make sure you have the latest OS that your provider has posted on the RIM download site.
Good luck...

ALL third-party applications crash upon save, open, or save as

Okay everyone, this is an odd one.
I recently installed photoshop CS6. However, when I try to save my documents in CS6, CS6 freezes, then crashes without an error report. The same thing happens if I try to open or 'save as' a document. However, if the document was created in Gimp, I can right-click the image in finder, click 'open with' Photoshop, and then something weird happens - File>open still doesnt work (but I don't need it to, as I've opened the image I need) File>save as still crashes - but File>save and Command-S work fine.
I've spent the last few weeks searching for an answer on the adobe forums and found nothing that has solved my problem. And then, something else happened.
Today I installed Python 3.3. Brand new, fresh installation. Started up my IDLE and typed in some code, then hit command-S.
The same thing happened - Python 3.3 froze, then crashed, also without an error report. The exact same symtoms.
This got me thinking, so I opened up Openoffice 4. This had been installed on my mac by my school's ICT services, and had never been opened before - a fresh installation. Once again, saving a document in openoffice 4 also caused it to freeze, then crash.
So, I took my mac into the ICT department and got them to have a look at it. They recommended repairing my disc permissions - which I did - and then, if that didn't work, reinstalling Maveriks.
I'm currently typing this on my mac, having spent the last 3 hours downloading and installing a fresh copy of Maveriks, and still I have the same problem. Any third-party applications freeze and crash when I try to save.
As I am the only user of my computer, I always run applications from an administratior account. Creating a new admin account hasn't helped.
All of these applications work when I'm running in safe mode.
My educated guess is that it's something to do with finder.
Whenever photoshop CS6 crashes, it's when a finder window should appear - for example, so I can choose a name for my new document, or select a document to open. But if the image was opened with finder's right-click, open with Photoshop, then CS6 doesnt have to open a finder window. If the image has already been created, CS6 doesnt have to open a finder window when I hit Command-S.
But I have no clue how to fix it.
This guy (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16595546#16595546) seems to have a similar problem to me, and he fixed it by moving all his items off his desktop. I've done that, but the problem persists.
Adobe (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/crash-using-open-save-dialog-mac.html) suggests that my viewing options in finder could be the problem. I've tried the solution described in the article above, and the problem persists.
Please, I need to be able to use Python and CS6 for my schoolwork! Help me if you can!
Help me, (your name here), you're my only hope!

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps

Third Party Applications for Frontrow.

Hi Guys,
Will Frontrow run RMVB files or MKV's ( For HD stuff and foreign language films ) Will a Mac play an SRT or SAA subtitle file or any other non-DVD subtitle file? Is there a VOB sub equvilent for the Mac?
Are there any third party applications available for the Mac and Frontrow such as.. www.mymovies.dk for media center? Allowing you to view the DVD cover art, read profiles of the actors in the movies, find other movies in your collection with them starring in, watch trailers of the movies, sort by Genre, year, by whether you have watched it yet or not, by anything you want basically.
Thanks for your help guys,

Are there any third party applications available for the Mac and Frontrow...
Apple has not released a "SDK" for Front Row (Software Development Kit). So, only Apple knows how to tie-in to the Front Row interface. This is a user-to-user forum, so none of us really know, but I doubt Apple will open Front Row for third party developers directly.
There are other options for media players. You might take a look at .
Allowing you to view the DVD cover art...
Standard warning: It's against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions to post about ripping DVDs to your hard drive. With that said, the current version of Front Row will play VIDEO_TS folders if they live in your user's "Movies" folder (or there's an alias to their location inside your "Movies" folder). If you include a file called "preview.jpg" inside the VIDEO_TS folder, this image will be used by Front Row as the preview image.

UCCX 9.01 Database Access For a Third Party Application

Hello Folks,
I'm starting with Cisco UCCX (and Cisco Collaboration too) soo an old customer ask me for help in develop an Web Application to collect specific data from queues, agents... in the Cisco UCCX, until now everything is OK, no problem. This request was based because our customer has not adapted with the format of the data submitted for monitoring queues and agents presented by UCCX. When we tried to collect those data from UCCX Server, we seen that UCCX have an internal Database and for collect data from this one is not possible by default by a Third Party Application. For this kind of solution, we'll need our UCCX server connecting directly with external Database (Like SQL, Oracle..) and a specific license is needed (Unified IP IVR or Unified CCX Premium). Then, our Application would collect data from this DB.
is that right?
Please feel free to share any suggestion and experience about.
Best Regards,
Rodolpho Pereira

Hi Rodolpho,
You need a PREMIUM license, in case you wish to integrate to an external DB (SQL, Oracle, etc). This is used in case of reading values from an external DB or writing values to the same using the DB Read and DB write steps.
From my understanding, your customer needs to have a reporting capability through their third party application. This is generally termed as Wallboard.
For more information on how to how to configure Wallboard, please check the Administrator guide for UCCX:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_9_0/configuration/guide/UCCX_BK_U767AC77_00_uccx-admin-guide.pdf
Basically, the UCCX has a uccxwallboard user whose password can be changed from the UCCX admin page to be used to integrate with the third party software. This user has access to the Real Time Statistics tables on the UCCX and can be used to pull out the necessary data.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Arundeep
