New Security Settings Prevents Running Pgm From Local Directory?

I am an occassional Linux software author among other things, and have recently installed Arch 2007.08 (Don't Panic). Today I compiled and built one of my programs only to discover that Arch doesn't allow me to run it from its build directory. The usual
./progname
produce the error:
bash: permission denied
BUT, if I copy the same executable to /usr/local/bin, it runs happily from there.
I am guessing this is some form of new security mechanism that has been introduced. Can anyone enlighten me as to what this is? Is there a way to defeat it?
By the way, I have tried this on the simplest of programs, the proverbial "hello world", so I know that my software isn't attempting to access files that it doesn't have permissions for. This seems to be a system wide thing.
Any and all insights most appreciated!

Thanks, will do! I hadn't even considered that, since this is an ext2 volume...

Security Settings prevent the usage of this method :-(

hi,
since i began using adobe LiveCycle products (well one month by now), mainly the LC Designer, i'm getting the same error by using certain methods (here i have to free translate out of the german):
"NotAllowedError: security settings prevent the usage of this property or method. App.trustedFunction:14:XFA:all[0].sf_tab[0]:initialize
is there someone, who can explain, what's do be done to get rid of it?
thanks,
valerio

It looks like your trying to run a function defined at the document level (ie: from within an event on a field) but a trusted function must be defined at the folder level (ie: in a .js file in the Acrobat /JavaScripts/ folder). That how trusted functions get their priveledges, when Acrobat is started, it evaluates the JavaScript in the .js files, sees that the function is marked as trusted and gives it the special priveledges it needs for when it is called. Here's an example of script you could put in a .js file:
saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (path) {
app.beginPriv();
try {
event.target.saveAs(path);
} catch (err) {
console.println("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
Then in your form you would simply call saveFunc().
Another thing I just noticed, I don't believe you will be able to use the Document.newPage() method from an XFA form (form from Designer) whether you run it from a trusted function or not. Acrobat is blocked from being able to make changes like this to an XFA form, because the underlying structure of an XFA form and an AcroForm is so different that even if you could make it work you wouldn't get the results you'd expect.

Hi,
Actually Arnavsharma provided a operable method for you. But no luck, it's not invalid.
Here I also offer you an method you can try.Please delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey :
Click Start , click Run , type regedit , and then click OK
Expand the following registry subkey
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
Delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey
Note: The parasite zone is a pseudo-graphic number listed before zone number 0. The pseudo-graphic number looks like a miniature upper case "L"
Close the registry editor
Thanks!

Web Service posting via SOAP.request - Security settings prevent access...

I'm trying to call a web service via the SOAP.request object in javascript embedded into my Interactive Form. I've successfully done this with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 trial version however now I'm having this issue on a production setup. The PDF generates fine and I can fill out the form and everything. I checked the properties of both PDF documents (one that works from the trial and one that doesn't from the prod box) and they are the same, expect the one that works is PDF Version 1.6, and the one that doesn't is PDF Version 1.7.
Here's the client-side error:
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 8.0
Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Functions Version 8.0
Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Wizard Functions Version 8.0
Acrobat Multimedia Version 8.0
Acrobat SOAP 8.0
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
SOAP.request:31:XFA:data[0]:mainform[0]:btnRelease[0]:click
Here's the snippet of JavaScript code:
var response = SOAP.request();
Here are the security properties of the malfunctioning PDF:
Security Method: No Security
Can be Opened By: All versions of Acrobat
Printing: Allowed
Document Assembly: Not Allowed
Content Copying: Allowed
Content Copying for Accessibility: Allowed
Page Extraction: Not Allowed
Commenting: Allowed
Filling of form fields: Allowed
Signing: Allowed
Creation of Template Pages: Allowed
How do I determine what the culprit is?

Michael,
PDF Version 1.6 means Adobe Reader 7.0.x family and PDF version 1.7 means Adobe Reader 8.0.x or 9.0.x if I am not wrong.
Also if you check LiveCycle Designer Help (Using LiveCycle Designer ES > Working with Data Sources > About data sources > Working with data connections) it clearly says that with LiveCycle Designer 8.0 secured web services are not supported and there are additional security settings for Reader 8.0 onwards, that may be causing the issue.

Page rotate script not working(not allowed error security settings prevent access to this property)

HI,
I am using a script to rotate each pages in pdf file when clicking a button. I have added a script to rotate file in the rotate button's click event as a javascript.It is working in acrobat but not in adobe reader. Pleae see the script
nStart = 0;

OK, so here's what you do:
- Create a new file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++), and paste this code into it:
safeExecMenuItem = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(code){
    app.beginPriv();
    app.execMenuItem(code);
    app.endPriv();
mySafeExecMenuItem = app.trustedFunction(function(code){
    app.beginPriv();
    safeExecMenuItem(code);
    app.endPriv();
Close Reader if it was open and then save this file as "MyScripts.js" and place it in the following directory (this is for Windows):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts
If you want it to work in Acrobat as well place the file also under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
Now to rotate the pages clockwise attach this code to your button (in Acrobat, of course):
mySafeExecMenuItem("RotateCW");
And to rotate them counter-clockwise, use this code:
mySafeExecMenuItem("RotateCCW");
Open your file in Reader and the buttons should rotate the pages when clicked...

Cannot change date and time settings, popup "These files can't be opened: Your internet security settings prevented..."

When I try to change my date and time settings I get a Windows Security popup that reads: "These files can't be opened. Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened. C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe"
I have Windows 7 64 bit. I also have McAfee SecurityCenter installed. I have tried turning off my firewall temporarily, but the problem persists. I am not sure if it is some type of virus. If anyone could give me some information
as to what could be causing this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

SaveAs - Security settings prevent access to this property or method.

Hi,
This question seems to have been dealt with in this forum on a few occasions but I am still have trouble with it:
I have written a script to add a footer containing the file name to a PDF and then save the PDF:
app.addMenuItem( { cName: "newdoc", cUser: "Add Footer", cParent:
"File", cExec: "AddFooter()", nPos: 0 } );
function AddFooter()
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
var fd = this.addField("Date", "text", p, [10,5, 300,28]);
fd.textSize=10;
fd.value = this.path ;
var SaveFile = app.trustedFunction(function()
app.beginPriv();
this.saveAs(this.path);
app.endPriv();
When I try to execute this script I receive an error:
Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

At which line do you get the error message? Do you use Adobe Acrobat?

How can i resolve this issue?

11.5.10 Step by Step - Run istore from local machine for customization

Hello,
Does anyone have step by step instructions on using JDeveloper to run iStore JSPs on local machine with the end goal to customize JSPs? We have 11.5.10. I am using JDeveloper 9.0.3.5. Have tried following steps per lot of metalink notes but none seem to be working. Need to know exactly:
- what Jdeveloper version to use for 11.5.10?
- Where to download this version from?
- Is it even possible to run iStore from local Windows machine using JDeveloper?
- What is the main iStore page that should be run the 1st time?
- Any expert available in USA for a 2 week paid assignment to help our team setup Jdeveloper for customization? And give intro lessons?
Much Help...
Thanks

1. The Jdeveloper you use with 11.5.10 will depend on which ATG patch level you are at (see metalink note 416708.1)
2. It will be in a metalink patch (see metalink note 4167708.1)
3. I don't believe you can run it locally on a windows machine.
4. Can't remember it off the top of my head but I will look back in my notes, I'm no longer working at the client site who has iStore.
5. I know of 3 or 4 experts that I have worked with in Canada on JDeveloper/iStore/Configurator, I don't know anyone in the US but there has got to be a bunch out there looking for work.

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent...

Hello I'm just starting to work with acrobat and javascript. Testing somethings out I created a script : this.importTextData and I get the error below. Any ideas? Thank you!
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.importTextData:2:Batch undefined:Exec

Where did you place the code and what is the exact code that you used? To invoke a method you need to include parentheses:
this.importTextData();
Without any parameters there should not be any security warning if used with Acrobat. If you're trying to use it with Reader it can't work unless the form has been Reader-enabled with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and the corresponding usage right included.

Security settings change when rendered from third party Windows 2008 R2 server

We created a fillable PDF form in Adobe Acrobat and made it Reader extended. Opening the form on a local hard drive the security settings show that Signing: is Allowed. We can sign documents in the form with a signature pad.
After we upload it to a third party Windows server 2008 R2, and we later go to access the form, the server renders it back to us in Adobe Reader. We are unable to digitally sign documents in the form with a Topaz signature pad. We notice that although the form was originally created with the form being Reader extended the security settings change to Signing: Not Allowed.
How can we get the server to render the document back to us where we can digitally sign documents in the form?

The second file still shows the extended rights header is present (it's warning you about restrictions at the top of the dialog while also reporting the method is "no security") but the digital signature which grants those extended rights will be invalidated if *anything* in the file structure is changed. I suspect in this case that the server software is doing something to your file; it may be trivial such as adding an XMP tag, but it's enough to break the hash check.

Security settings: prevent "save as..." !?

Hello there, I am using Acrobat 9 standard and would like to know how I can manage to set up security settings of a document in such a way that the "save as..." menue-entry will be disabled.
I can manage to prevent printing and saving the same document again - no problem. But I need to make sure that the reader of a document does not save it under a different name.
How can this be done?
Thanks for any advice.
Wolfgang Armbruster

We _are_ using Acrobat Reader to display these files within an Intranet. If you open such a file as an embedded PDF in Firefox you will see a buttonbar at the top with icons to print and to save and so on.
I do not have problems to make the print icon greyed out and unusable. But I need to do the same thing with the "save as" icon.
And are you really saying this can not be done? Acrobat support told me before buying the software "this can be done"... though they will not tell me how... I need to clarify this in some forums...
So I'm still hoping to get better advice...!?

How to select variable filename from local directory with fn to load xml

I would like to select a specific xml file to load from a local directory. The file name is composed of “Title” + “number sequence”. I know the Title (in this case its XLink07), but I need to select the latest number sequence or the latest by date stamp.
For example, the local directory has the following files:
XLink01[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298101].xml
XLink07[36735298100].xml
XLink07[36735298101].xml
In this example I need to select file XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml where XXXXXXXXXXX is the highest number within the XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml files. Title is Xlink07 and function should return Number sequence [36735298101]. Files with higher number sequence have later date stamps than files with lower number sequences. I need to select the highest number or the latest date stamp for the file that begins with XLink07….
My action script to load the local .xml file without any function to select the correct file is:
Security.allowDomain("*", "*")
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XLink07[36735298101].xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
function showXML(e:Event):void {
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var Innards:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
tweet_name.text = Innards.XLink01[0].screen_name;
tweet_1.text = Innards.XLink01[0].text;
tweet_date.text = Innards.XLink01[0].created_at;
Thanks for the help if anyone can script that function for me if its possible.

Help with utl_file (read/write file from local directory)

Need help reading/writing file on local machine from plsql using 10.2 DB.
I am trying to read/write a file from a local directory(laptop) without success.
I have been able to read/write to the database server directory but can't write to directory on local machine.
The utl_file_dir parm has been set to * and the db restarted but I can't get it to work... Here's the plsql statement.
out_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ( 'C:\PLSQL', 'TEST.TXT', 'W' ,32767);
Whenever I run it continues to write to c:\PLSQL dir on the database server. Have looked at the "Directory" object and created MY_DIR = C:\PLSQL but it writes to the db server.
Running 10.2 on a remote windows server, running PLSQL using sql*navigator.
Thanks in advance for your help..

I don't see how you expect the server to be able to see your laptop across the network, hack into it and start writing files. Even if it could, what if there is more than one laptop with a C: drive? How would it know which one to write to?
Is there a shared drive on the server you can access via the laptop?
