OSX 10.9.4 - How to lock down OD

We have a server running OP, for our network. At this point, anyone can query the data without credentials (such as by using an app like LDAPManager). Is there a way to require authentication to query OD? This seems like it should be something rather basic to set up, but I've not found anything in the server about it.
Thanks to anyone for fielding my noob questions...
--Charles

Not sure I understand the question but Apple's LDAP offering is based on OpenLDAP and queries made to database is read only. This is by design otherwise how would clients find and access the database without having the ability to transparently read from it? Making changes to the database does require authentication.
Assuming a 'standard' OD with non-admin networked users logging onto bound workstations you can either not include such applications in the deployment image or if you need such applications to be used by admins limit its use with a managed preference using PM or MCX.
If your users are all local admins devise an AUP that stops the use of such applications.

Question on how to lock down an iPad for demonstration in my store.

I work for an Apple reseller and we have a few demo iPads. The are running the current apple supplied demo content but we have a problem. We have a guy who comes in here every day and downloads his own apps and sets all of the apps to Chinese. We can't use the built in restrictions because they are disabled on demo iPads.
I was wondering if there is a way to keep people from downloading their own apps and from changing app settings. We have to restore them about 3 times a week and it is getting to be a hassle. I tried google to no avail.
Thanks.

How to lock down "settings" on my ipod?

I need to lock down my "settings" on my ipod. I don't want to merely block access to Safari, but I want to block access to the settings area of the ipod. I have found "folder lock" apps at the Apple store, but they seem to be predominantly aimed at hiding one's ****, which is not at all what I need. I found a number of apps that would be available if I wanted to jailbreak my ipod, which I don't want to do.
Anyone have suggestions?

Sorry, but you cannot lock the Settings in general. Only those items that appear in the Restrictions can be locked.
Regards.

How to lock down the ipad for employee use

I would like to know if they is any app or something that I can use to lock the ipad down for small business use.
The last thing I want is my employees checking their facebook on my ipads.

What's the need for a business plan thousands of people buyt touch pads and computers every day and don't know how to use them. More or less they end up being paper weights. Beside the restrictions are instented to stop misuse. And who said he didn't have a business plan. the ipads replace pen and paper and so employee enter information directly into the server. This lets the employee be mobile and still do their work. It's being done in places all around the world. Ipad is an computer for the most part.
U going to tell me he should not use computers next? Maybe he should enter track important information at all?
it's funny how one question of how do I restrict access on an ipad turns into an inquisition.
Name any major corporation that let's their employee do whatever they want on their computers? Name a College?
That's why these companies build in this security stuff any way. You are protecting your investment by taking the proper steps to make sure that the equiptment is not misused. Where do you work where your Boss let's you do whatever you want on his or her computer. Play games? Get viruses?
You seem to making some kind of special assumptions because it's a ipad.
Same this goes for printers, copying machines, and coffee machines. You never give people unlimited access to any thing unless you wan to call the service man 20 times a week.

How to "lock" down a few clips at the end of a timeline

I'm working on an edit and the last several clips have all been edited into place and timed perfectly. I'm working backwards from the end. How in the world can I keep those last several clips from moving? With the magnetic timeline every time I try to do anything they want to move. Even with the position arrow. I've put them in their own storyline but the still move. They are connected to the primary storyline as that's the main thing.
Seems weird there is no way to lock them in place. Maybe I am just missing something.

everything you pretty much do in FCPX wants to happen to the primary storyline
This is just wrong.
Otherwise I have to work to make things not happen in the primary storyline.
Like every other editing application. Every one has a default video and audio track. It doesn't mean everything has to go on those tracks. It doesn't even mean most of your material has to go on those tracks. Yes, you have to do something to make edits to some other layer or storyline.
We're not going to agree on this. I'll tell you how I think you should use the application, but you can use it however you like.

Form validation from within composer - how to lock down admin forms??

Hello we have many space admin level users who have the privilege to add content and remove it from their pages as they see fit, however when modifying pages from inside webcenter composer there is no validation on user input / error checking. This causes many problems with users entering things improperly, or even causing bugs (such as with content presenter - if you remove a file from UCM without removing it from the "add a file" template it will break the page).
So my question is - how do I start adding form validation to all of these screens (such as those little wrenches in composer for a task flow, or customizable layout component)? Is there a way to customize form validation for all admin screens (space - manage all, app - administration, and composer screens)?
Thanks,
j

Here is the custom validation script of your drop-down.
Make sure you tick the option to commit the selected value immediately:
     var sNewSel = event.value;
     switch (sNewSel) {
       case "ProductNo1":
         this.getField("ItemDescription").value = "blah, blah";
         this.getField("Size").value = "blah, blah";
         this.getField("UnitPrice").value = "blah, blah";
         break;
     case "ProductNo2":
         this.getField("ItemDescription").value = "blah, blah";
         this.getField("Size").value = "blah, blah";
         this.getField("UnitPrice").value = "blah, blah";
         break;
     case "ProductNo3":
        this.getField("ItemDescription").value = "blah, blah";
        this.getField("Size").value = "blah, blah";
         this.getField("UnitPrice").value = "blah, blah";
         break;
     //etc.
You will need to replace "ProductNoX" in the script with whatever your product numbers are in the drop down.
You can also read MarkWalsh's script in this thread:

How to lock down your Linux server

When you're setting up a Linux server, security is key. Just as you lock your car when you leave it, securing your server is commonsense practice. In a guide onhow to begin securing a Linux server, Linux.com writer Swapnil Bhartiya says,"Servers need to be maintained all the time," and when it comes to securing your server, starting off the right way is crucial.1. Avoid excess services and packagesWhen you're setting up your server, you have the option to pick whatever packages you'll need, but every package you install creates more surface area for an attacker to push against. Some folks might say, "your server, you software," Bhartiya writes, but "don't take things for granted. [...] Install only those packages that you really need. If there are unwanted packages, purge." 2. Only use what you needLikewise, running services you don't...

Would like to know how to Completely Lock-down Windows 7 OS

I don't have a general question..
It's more like specifics about how to lock down windows 7 computers..
Here's a little background information...
I have two computers, both with win 7(Pro, and home prem).
A family member can somehow bypass all bios and all windows security services... Everytime I go to work or school, he will power on my desktop and somehow 'hack' into the OS and install keyloggers or viruses so he can obtain my banking or other personal information.
He also unlocks and deletes all the passwords so he can have access whenever he wants..
Can someone please tell me how to do a complete lockdown? This is getting extremely annoying.. I've done everything that I can do; Also considering on switching my major to some sort of computer security. I'm starting to lose my mind over these months.. All
help is appreciated.
I've password protected BIOS
I've disabled administrator accounts, i've put password on the admin and the guest user; locked the option to change passwords..
All help is appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
If you are using Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to change policies that affect the security of your computer. Please check if the following policies meet you requirements.
[User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer]
Enable these two polices:
Prevent access to drives from My Computer
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
For your reference:
Lock Down PCs with Windows 7:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/gg983426.aspx
Also, restrict Which Programs a User Can Run. You can set rules in AppLocker in the Group Policy Editor that prevents all programs from being run.
In addition, temporarily Lock Your Computer if Someone Tries to Guess Your Password
If you share your computer with other family members or allow your friends to use it, you should have a password on your Windows account so no one else can log into it. However, someone may try to guess your password and log into your account. If this happens,
you can temporarily lock your computer.
You should also periodically change your password.
If you suspect, you family member using a tool to bypass your password. You may use Malicious Software Removal Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx)
to remove it.
Hope it helps.

Locking down Win 8.1

For security reasons, i need to investigate how to lock down windows 8.1 so that the user is restricted to the desktop only and only has access to a
certain few applications.
These PC's are in a domain and are used for either Accounting or POS.
The software is what it is and changing the software is not an option.
Right now, the users log into XP machines. The desired programs auto-load and all is well.
As of April 1st, the XP POS machines will no longer be PCI compliant. We prefer to step up to win 8.1 stations, but locking them down via group policy is proving to be difficult.
We don't want third party tools.
Certainly this must be achievable via group policy.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Wireless Controller locking down User per SSID

I am using Wireless Controller 4112. We use WPA enterprise mode for authentication and encryption via Microsoft IAS server and MS AD domain.
My question is how to lock down a user to a specific SSID? I would guess that this is via some vendor specific radius attributes, am I right? And if so, what would be the name (and ID) for the attributes?
Thanks in advance.

Making progress in setting up the wireless controller with multiple VLAN and WLAN/SSID. I create a virtaul interface at the controller and assign a VLAN number to it. The controller mgmt port is also set to a trunk port. Create a new SSID WLAN and have it mapped to the new virtual interface. Things work good.
The new problem I am trying to solve is how to prevent wired users to access the controller admin web interface via the virtual interface IP. I try create ACL and map it to the virtual interface. It doesn't seem working.

Locking down windows 2000

Hi All
I have been blessed with the task of figuring out how to lock down a
Windows 2000 PC to run only 1 access runtime app in a kiosk type setting.
Does anyone know a good starting point? I have very little Zen knowledge.
Thanks in advance
Paul

1) Configure NAL to run as the Shell.
http://www.novell.com/documentation/...a/a7q692x.html
(Note: Works the same in ZFD4)
2) Enable "Rogue Process Management" to limit the system to only NAL
delivered apps.
http://www.novell.com/documentation/...a/ahl34y5.html
(Scratch That - This is a ZFD 6.5 or greater feature)
3) Group Policy to only allow specified applications.

How do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

how do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

I'll make a stab at your question:
The following is an example of where a URL is protected within a web.xml deployment descriptor. In this example, the URL /protectedA within the application is protected:

<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>protectedA</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/protectedA</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>

<auth-constraint>
<role-name>sr_developer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

Motion Particles - How to lock them down as scene animates?

I have an animation with a boat on water and I have particles to create the water spray. I animate the entire scene by putting it all into one group and then keyframing that one group to zoom in on the back of the boat.
The problem is the particles change direction as the entire scene moves and zooms in. Is there any way to keep the particles shooting in one direction no matter how the emitter is being animated in the entire scene?
Thank you so much!
Scot

OK, I figured out how to keep the direction. You set the emitter's parameter "Attach to Emitter" to 100%. This locks down the direction, but the particles don't fly relative to the emitter. So if I have an emitter pointing towards the left and shooting particles to the left, if I animate the whole scene to the left, the particles will look like they are bunching up in one spot.
If someone knows of a way to fix that, let me know.
Thanks!
Scot

How do I lock down the wifi network?

I just had fios installed today would like to upgrade the security to wpa or wpa2. Can someone please tell me the procedure on how to do this.
Thanks, Geoff

There are 3 things you should do to "lock down" your network.
1. Change the default administration password. The default is password or password1.
2. Change the SSID and set to not broadcast.
3. Set the security to WPA-psk or WPA2-psk and pick a password key.
To do this, log in to the router by opening your internet program and type 192.168.1.1 in to the address bar. Type admin and the password into the login page. Once logged in, click on "wireless settings". Click on "basic settings". From there you can change the SSID and turn off WEP. Once that is done, click apply. Now click on "advanced settings". From this page you can select your security type, set the password key (recommend a sentence that is easy to remember) and turn SSID broadcast off. You can also set mac filtering for extra security. When done click apply. You should be all set.
