Password Protect Attachment file thru Mail from BO

I am generating WebI report and this report (in the format of excel/pdf) will be send to the list of users through mail.
When the user open the attachment, it should prompt for password and open the same once password match.

Not folder but file (I do hope you understand the difference). Have you tried to search SDN at all? I don't have much time, but before replying initially I did just a quick search and it brought several posts mentioning the archiving functionality. And I'm sure 'Smartform to PDF' will bring up gozillion posts. Also I find the Google search with addition 'site:sap.com' to be quite helpful.
However, I would still recommend to review the requirements. Why exactly do you need this password protection? If there is a fear that someone other than a recipient might get access to the email account then there is really a bigger security issue in the organization and it should be resolved by some other means. As I have mentioned, password does not really add much protection.
Out of curiosity I briefly looked at the IRM description on the Microsoft's web site and it doesn't seem to be very helpful. First of all, it's the MS software and has to be installed on the user's PC and configured (how do we know the emai recipients are even on Windows?). Also it does say "Prevent an unauthorized recipient from accessing e-mail content", but I didn't quite get how exactly. Is there a retinal scan that comes with it? And the list of things it does not do gives you the whole another perspective on the email security.

  • Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Send email with password protected zip file attachment

    Hi Experts,
    The requirement is to zip a password protected excel file and send the zipfile through email. There is no middleware(PI) involved. The program has to be run in background mode. It is possible to create a password protected excel file using OLE method, but it will not work in background mode.
    Also it is possible to place the zip file in application server, but I am not able to give password for this file.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Renjith Nair

    Hi,
    You have to write a customer adapter module to handle this requirement.
    Zip/Unzip can be done using the payloadzipbean standard module:

    Is encoding an option instead of password for you:

  • Can't open password protected PDF files.

    As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
    I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
    I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
    Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

  • Library that will let one create a password protected zip file

    Hello All, In my last post, I was not clear, in the explanation of my requirement so that could be a reason for no replies
    I wanted to know whether there are any Java libraries that I can use to create a password protected zip file which will be recognized by WINZIP
    Will hope to hear back .
    Thanks again

    Thanks for the mail and information. So, from my
    understanding, there are no Java libraries thatare
    free that will let you create a password protected
    zip file that WINZIP recognises.
    Please let me know.
    ThanksThere might be free Java APIs that could do that. I
    just stated that I have not come across any. You can
    google and see if you can find any free APIs.
    The other way to do it is to write your own code for
    password protecting the zip files created by
    java.util.zip. A more time consuming solution but a
    solution nonetheless. But with this solution you
    would run into the problem of compatibility with
    winzip.
    Another solution would be to see if you can dig out
    some command based zip utility (I am not sure if
    there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to
    mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce()
    from your java source code to execute that command.
    I am not aware of any other solution. Hope this helps.thanks again for the reply.
    Can you throw more light on this statement
    "Another solution would be to see if you can dig out some command based zip utility (I am not sure if there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce() from your java source code to execute that command."
    regarding the command based zip utility, does this provide a password protected zip file, so that winzip will understand and encode it?.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

  • I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

    I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
    Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
    The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

    Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS

    I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
    The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
    Has anyone got any pointers?
    Thanks

    Well,  first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so.  You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x.  If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later.  Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX.  What to do?  Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way.  If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.

  • How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

    I created a password protected pdf file.
    I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
    It is better that viewers cannot download it.
    But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
    Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
    But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
    Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

    Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built.  So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
    Be well...

  • REQUEST: Support for password-protected PDF files and SD-card installation

    I would like to request for the features in the topic.
    The current version can't open password-protected files hence I still need to download them on a PC before viewing them.
    SD-card install is necessary for some devices running on Froyo as they don't have a lot of internal memory.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi AndrewSV,
    I am sorry to hear that you are having problems opening password-protected PDF files, and that the users are being prompted for a password, which shouldn't be required for Viewing and Printing the file.
    I have opened up a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=900822 bug for this issue], and our engineers and volunteers will be able to investigate this issue.
    Yes, please attach the write-protected PDF as an example, so that they can see what's happening.
    Thank you for your help! =)

  • Convert Excel into Password Protected PDF Files

    Hello Aandi/Lenoard,
    I believe you are the Adobe Forums administrators so I thought you guys are the right people to approach.
    OTHERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC.
    I have C# desktop app which generates Excel files and our goal is to convert these excel files one at a time into password protected PDF files. We use a 3rd party software currently, but I am challenging myself into saying that I can use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK to achieve what is required .
    I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 SDK and also have Adobe Professional 8.0(trail) in my development machine. Can you firstly tell me if this is possible and secondly what would be required on the client machines to run it?
    THanks,
    Andy

    "Encrypt with Password" is the policy name, not the policy id.
    Did you try enumerating the policy object to see how to set it up? I ran this from the console to get the policy details:
    var policy = security.chooseSecurityPolicy();
    for ( var i in policy )
    console.println(i + ": " + eval("policy." + i));
    That will pop up your list of policies. Choose "Encrypt with Password" and hit Apply, which returned the following:
    policyId: SP_STD_default
    name: Encrypt with Password
    description: This policy will allow you to set an open or modify password on a document.
    handler: Adobe.Standard
    target: document
    Of course, all you really need are the policyId, handler and target. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand the security requirements documented in the API reference for this method as well.
