Password Protect Report Exports and Email

Hi there
My client's requirement is to automatically run, export and email reports with the report output (excel/word/etc) having password protection. Think this is possible with BI publisher, but wondering if there is any nifty way of doing this with Discoverer. For example now Discoverer is integrated with BI Publisher does this mean it's possible by creating report in Disco (potentially) then using BI Pub to automatically run, export and email results with pwd protection? Any other ideas??
This is an eBusiness Suite environment, Disco version 10.1.2, eBusiness Suite version 11.5.10 (they also have 11.5.8, but we don't believe we'll be doing this solution on tha environment).
Cheers, Kate

Hi,
I don't think there is any easy solution to this, but what we do at this site is schedule the Discoverer reports to run using the eBusiness Suite Concurrent Manager. We use dedicated Discoverer workstations to run the Discoverer exports and these could also be used to email the report if this was a requirement.
There is an article on my website (www.cabotconsulting.co.uk) about scheduling Discoverer reports using the Applications 11i concurrent manager and you can also search this forum for scheduling and email for information on how to email reports.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

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! =)

Password protecting mail app and permanent deletion of emails so they don't appear in spotlight search

I realise that there is a temporary way to prevent this happening by unticking the 'mail' option in the spotlight search settings menu, but how do you permanently delete the emails? I assumed that when I hit delete then emptied the trash box, the mails were gone for good. But finding that they remain stored in some hidden place and can be easily accessed is very annoying! In fact, finding that other users can quickly change the settings back and have free access to my email is rather disturbing anyway, especially as there is no way to password protect my email account once i activate the mail app. the apple mail app is linked to my yahoo account, but within yahoo mail there seems to be no problem in regards to deleted mail being stored somewhere else, only within the apple app system.
So i guess id like to know, is there some way to password protect my account or do I just need to keep deleting my account before lending the ipad to someone else and then reinstating it? And is there any way to properly delete emails for good?
I would be happy just to go without the mail app and log in directly through yahoo in Safari, except that I find the notification alert when I receive a new mail very handy!!

[edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

Password protect report output

We are generating the payslips of all employees as individual report outputs, saved as pdf files. Now we are planning to send the payslips as email attachments to all employees. Is there a way to password protect all these 1500 files togther,, but each with an unique password which is a combination of their employee number and dob?
Thanks for your advice

How can I protect my data in numbers from unintentional user of my iPad by other family members? In other words, how can I password protect my numbers and other apps from apple computer company?

I have other members of my family use my iPad for educational/recreational use, young children who may want to play kid games. I don't want them to accdently get into my data stored in the three business apps from apple. I would like to password protect these files.
I would also like to log out of the email systems that I use, so some one else can use this device to access their own emails. By leaving my accounts open al the time, is really asking for trouble from a host of sources.
I can't believe that the iPad is not designed to protect the privacy and data from prying eyes ... Un intuitional as it may be.
Please fix this issue so I create my info on this device and enjoy it fully. Or tell me how I can protect my data.
Thnax.

Thanx for your response. Any data stored anywhere should be able to be protected from stealing, malicious destruction or unintentional destruction. Theo ad an be stolen and without any kind ofpassword protection, the thief could get into your sensitive data.
If Apple wants iPad to become a business tool that can be used with ideas, thots, data protected, then Apple needs to provide this protection to it's customers. Now it's unto the users to use it or not.
I know iPad is being considered to be used by doctors, and can u imagine the confidentiality requirements of HIPPA rules... It will make this device not usable without data protection. I am sureweall have heard about hacking going on at all levels. It's surprising that this device's software is left unprotected.
My iPad may be sitting on my desk and my 3 year old grand daughter would pick it up and start "playing" with it. That means I can't store anything on this machine that may possibly be changed.
I have discussed this with specialists in apple stores, and those who have been around info technology understand my concerns and they may forward this request further up. They do not have the answer for it..... So far.
I think data security should be everyone's concern... Be it a one person device or multiple user device.
I hope that some responsible people at Apple would read this and provide the protection that will make this device lot more acceptable in the business world.

Unlocked, yet password-protected wifi networks render email/apps useless

Email and apps work great at home where I have a wifi connection on my home wireless router. But when out and about, unlocked (yet password protected) wifi networks (like Optonline) render apps useless. In short, email and apps are trying to connect to the wifi network (since it's unlocked). But in order to actually connect to it, you need to sign in via Safari first.
Shouldn't the iPhone be "smarter" and know that if a wifi connection is locked OR password protected, it should simply go ahead and use 3G? Otherwise, you need to manually turn off wifi and force the iPhone to use 3G.
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?

If you have previously connected your iPhone to such a wi-fi network - which you must do first before entering the required password via the Safari webpage before you have internet access via the wi-fi network, your iPhone will automatically connect to the wi-fi network when returning within range of the network.
If you don't want to use such a particular wi-fi network for internet access, which the provider for the network requires entering a password via a webpage before having internet access via the wi-fi network, remove the wi-fi network from your iPhone and don't join the network when returning within range of the network.
When within range of the network, which your iPhone will automatically connect to if you have previously connected to the network if wi-fi access is on, select the right facing arrow in a blue circle icon to the right of the network and at the next screen for the wi-fi network settings, select Forget this Network, and don't connect to the wi-fi network when returning within range of the network. If you want to use the wi-fi network for internet access, you must enter your password to access the internet via the wi-fi network, which requires connecting to the wi-fi network first.

Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
ASP.NET 2.0
Ajax 1.0
Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
http: printing works, export works
https: printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing. However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
A communication error occured. Printing will be stopped.
Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL. Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7? Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
Please let me know if I can help by providing further information. We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
Thank you.

Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting. I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
1: Crystal report export
            Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to PDF : nothing happened.
2: Print:
            Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
Please advise.
Thank you very much!

How can i password protect some files and web sites?

How can I possword protect some files and web sites on my mac air so others using my laptop can't access them?

Set a password for your user; create other user accounts for when other people want to use it. You can create a "guest" login which gets wiped after every logout, if that's more appropriate for them.

IOS8 fails to stream password protected website mp3 and mp4 files

EDucational content in a password protected website folder (mp3 and mp4 lecture presentations) fail to stream from a simple directory list website with iOS 8 yet continue to work fine on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7. Apple says "expected behavior" with all browsers on iOS 8. Before i direct new students to other platforms so they can access course material, any fixes?

i drafted the solution here,

Any way to password protect pdf document when emailing?

Is there any way to password protect an adobe document when emailing like you would a word document?

Hi bcanino,
You can apply security to a PDF using Acrobat (apply an Open Document password, a Document Permissions password, or both). For more information, see PDF passwords, protected PDF, file permissions | Adobe Acrobat XI
I hope that helps.

Password protect catalogues, folders and individual images

I would very much like to the ability to password individual catalogues and even specific folders or images.
In my main database i have some sensitive shots and would prefer not to accidentally browse over them to other clients.
Anyway, keep up the good work team and sorry i've not been able to join you since the original testing days before 1.0. The product has really matured in my absence.
All the best,
Simon Fuller

The "Password Protection" feature of iWeb works only to protect entire sites...not individual pages. The workaround, then, is to make the page that you want to protect a separate site in and of itself and password protect it. You can then create hyperlinks to this password protected site from your regular iWeb site.

Password protect between 10pm and 5am only

I want to password protect my iMac between 10pm and 5am only. At any other times no password would be required.

Log out at 10 pm and log back in at 5 am. Note that, although there are ways to script this automatically, it wouldn't be wise, as unsaved documents would ultimately cancel log out if you're not there to take care of it.
Alternately, you could see my response on the following topic, which requires fast user switching to be turned on (in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options). Of course, then if you lose power or something in the middle of the night, unsaved documents are simply lost.

How do I turn off password protection for apps and keep them from downloading on all my apple devices

How do I turn off password protection for apps on my Iphone4 and keep them from loading on all other devices?

What do you mean by "password protection for apps"?
To keep apps from downloading on a device automatically, go to Settings> Store> and turn off the things you don't want downloaded automatically.

Firmware Password protection, crashed disks and SuperDuper

I want to setup a firmware password on my Mac, however I have one query.
I use SuperDuper to clone my machine each night onto an external hard disk and I understand that if I want to boot from this hard disk, I would have to turn the password protection off. However, my main reason for the backup is to have a workable system if anything ever happens to my primary (internal) startup disk (as has happened before.) In this situation, I would not be able to boot into Mac OS to turn off the password protection. Does this mean my laptop would be inaccessible?

if I want to boot from this hard disk, I would have to turn the password protection off.
Correct.
However, my main reason for the backup is to have a workable system if anything ever happens to my primary (internal) startup disk (as has happened before.) In this situation, I would not be able to boot into Mac OS to turn off the password protection. Does this mean my laptop would be inaccessible?
No, you should in that circumstance be able to boot from the Mac OS X 10.5 installer disk and use the Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu to unlock it.
Note, though, that if you clone your system to an external hard drive, to my mind you rather defeat the purpose of setting the firmware password since a malicious user could just connect your external drive to another system to get access to your data. True, they couldn't boot your computer, but that level of data protection could be achieved just by turning off automatic login in Mac OS X and making sure you have a strong password on your user account. So I'm not sure of the benefit of setting a firmware password if you're going to have your backup hard drive just sitting there where anyone could grab it.
