Password protected attachments not stripped

Greetings,
I have setup a rule in our IronPort C360 that is supposed to block "protected attachments" - encrypted and password protected files. I have a content filter setup with the condition under Attachment Protection of "One or more attachments are protected." The action applied to this filter is "Strip Attachment by Content" where the attachment contains .*
This is working on encrypted attachments, but password protected attachments are not being stripped.
Is there some way to make both work?
Thanks,
-so

Thanks for the reply, Staylor.
It turned out the action needed to be changed. Because the files were password protected on read the scanner could not see the contents.
Changing the action to 'Strip Attachment by File Info' and setting the condition to 'File size is greater than: 1 byte' caused the protected file to be stripped.

Excel Sheet (password protected) is not opening

An important Excel document that is password protected keeps causing Excel to shut down after I enter the password. I tried opening with NEO OFFICE but since it's password protected, NEO won't open it. How do I turn off the password in Excel so NEO can open it? I assume thew file has become corrupt.

since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on Mac/Windows compatibility.

Password protected files not opening with acrobat reader 9

I receive text file embedded in a PDF which is password protected. I just changed my comp from Vista to Windows 7 64 Bit and got the reader 9 duly updated. Earlier I was using reader 7 and the files used to work and open. Now they do not open and their is a big PIN mark on giving the password. The following message is displayed "Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened" the file type is ZIP. Please help

But it did work on windows vista with reader 7. If it is not at all possible then
my question is can I uninstall reader 9 and install reader 7.
will it work on windows 7 64 bit

Encrypted Disk Image to Password Protect Folder Not Working!

I have followed the instructions exactly for creating a Disk Image in order to password protect a folder. Folder contains multiple types of files including images, pdfs, etc. Here is what I've done and what happens:
In Disk Utility I created a New Disk Image from Folder. I chose the folder, which I have on my Desktop, and clicked Image. I gave the Disk Image a new name, placed in on my Desktop, indicated the image format as read/write and chose the 128-bit encryption. I chose a very strong password and unchecked the remember password box. At this point, all seems to have gone well.
Now, back to my Desktop. I have two things going on.
1. The initial folder that I wanted password protected is still present. Am I supposed to just send this to the Trash?
2. When I double click on the the new .dmg file that I've created, I am asked for my password, which I put in. Then, nothing. I mean, nothing happens. It doesn't open, it doesn't do anything. I can click on it and choose Open with DickImageMounter, and nothing happens. I can open with Disk Utility, but this just gives me the normal options to eject, burn, restore, etc.
I don't know why I can't get this to work properly, and I'm a little annoyed that Apple can't make it as simple as selecting a folder and having the option to password protect it, just like you can a normal file. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks.

As of OS X 10.7.4, Disk Utility had a bug that prevented it from creating an encrypted disk image with a password of more than 10 characters. I haven't checked recently to see whether that bug has been fixed, but from your report it seems not to have been. There is a workaround, but it's complicated.

Screensaver / sleep mode password protection does not work

Hello,
I am running 10.6.4 and have enabled screen saver and sleep mode password protection from System Preferences / Security / General / Require password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins.
I have also selected some screen saver - Cosmos. Now, from terminal when I check the settings:
MINE:~ ent$ defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver
CleanExit = YES;
PrefsVersion = 100;
mainScreenOnly = 0;
moduleDict = {
iLifeMediaGroupType = 0;
moduleName = Cosmos;
path = "/System/Library/Screen Savers/Cosmos.slideSaver";
type = 4;
showClock = 1;
tokenRemovalAction = 0;
MINE:~ ent$ defaults read com.apple.screensaver {
askForPassword = 1;
askForPasswordDelay = 0;
tokenRemovalAction = 0;
So the settings get applied correctly.
The problem is - after screen saver kicks in or when MacBook goes into sleep mode and I want to continue work - no password prompt appears and I go back to desktop without any authorization!
I see this behaviour on admin user account, but when I login in as root - prompt appears and asks for password to unlock desktop.
Can you help me troubleshoot the problem? How can I log /see what is happeining after screen saver is terminated by mouse move or key stroke?
Regards,
Krzysztof

Gals, Gents,
I actually figured out the root cause of the problem. I am using EncFS to encrypt my home folder and each time the user logs in a script is being executed:
MINE:~ ent$ cat /Library/Management/loginhook.sh
#!/bin/bash
# $1 = logged in usernam
# try to mount /e using encfs entry in keychain
PASS=$(security find-generic-password -ga EncFS 2>&1 >/dev/null | cut -d'"' -f2)
RAW="/Users/.$1"
MOUNTPOINT="/Users/$1"
echo $PASS | sudo -u $1 /usr/local/bin/encfs -S $RAW $MOUNTPOINT
It is executed as a login hook, so:
MINE:~ ent$ sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow
LoginHook = "/Library/Management/loginhook.sh";
LogoutHook = "/Library/Management/logouthook.sh";
The problem with that is that most probably all the Library settings are first read and only after that is the login hook executed. What it actually does is decrypting the EncFS volume and mounting it to the /Users/enc.
So... Library folder get's substituted and I can work on Library preferences files from my account, but they are not visible during the login process.
Anybody know how I can change this process to enable login script before Library is ever read?
I managed to work around with screen saver protection by adding it globally to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist instead of local ~/Library/Pref..
But obiously that is not how it should be dealt with...
Thanks,
Krzysztof

Password protected page not working

HI,
I have to password protect a single page (out of 3-4 pages) on a site. http://www.antlersowners.com/members.html
I used javascript because I didn't see a way in DW to password. Some users can get in - but others using IE8 cannot!
My question is: what is the best way to password a single page. Can I do it via DW.
BElow is the code for the page, I've set the link up to go to the javascript page which THEN goes to the html page.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Jane
Code below:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>password required</title>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT>
function passWord() {
var testV = 1;
var pass1 = prompt('Please Enter Your Password',' ');
while (testV < 3) {

alert('You Got it Right!');
window.open('members.html');

As the others have said, forget about using client-side Javascript for any form of security. It achieves nothing and is easily circumvented.
At most, you would only use Javascript in the browser for basic validation of data entered by visitors (e.g. have the minimum required fields been filled out?). Nothing else. But in simple cases like this, I would not even bother with that. Security procedures must always be done on the server and this can take many forms from simple to complex.
My first port of call in simple situations such as yours is to go to the hosting panel on the website and set up a password protected directory/folder. Then upload your sensitive page to that folder. That's all you need to do.
The server will then launch a dialogue box requesting a username/password from anyone trying to access that page.
If you don't have access to a hosting panel then ask the website host to set up a password protected folder for you.

Why Are Password Protected Forms not Fillable on Reader App

I have made a fillable form on Acrobat X Pro that is protected with password security in order to deny printing or editing (other than filling the form and commenting), however the app will open but will not allow you to fill it. The document's forms are fillable on any other computer. How can this be fixed?
It is reader version 10.4.1 on a Asus Transformer TF300T android Ver 4.1.1

As you have discovered, Adobe Reader for Android does not yet support filling encrypted forms. It is something we are considering for the future, but I cannot give any insight into when we will have that support available.

Password Protecting areas, but not whole phone?

is it possible to just password protect, say "Notes" ? Say, i wanted to store a bunch of password information in there, and would like to have it password protected from anyone else to see. I know there is a password function for the whole phone, but i would like it so i don't have to input a password everytime i want to make a phone call. I doubt this is possible, but there is no harm in asking

Not at this time...but..

Can you password protect pages folders

When you create a folder in pages, can you password protect the folder, or it only that documents can have a password?

Only the file can be password protected from within Pages. If you don't want the file to open on your Mac without the password, then do not check, “Remember this password in my keychain,” in the password dialog. Record your document password where you can retrieve it — in case your forget, or if using keychain, in case it becomes damaged.
You can password protect (and encrypt) a folder that contains Pages documents, whether they are password protected or not.
In Finder, press shift+command+U to launch the Utilities Window.
Launch Disk Utility
File > New > Disk Image from Folder…
From the Select Folder to Image dialog, select the folder and click Image
From the New Image from Folder dialog
Image Format
Compressed - folder will be read-only with no ability to add documents later
Read/write - intuitive
Encryption: 256-bit AES Encryption
Save
In the new password dialog, set your password
You should strive for password complexity that shows strength as green
Record your password where you can retrieve it.
Again, the caveat about keychain as mentioned above
A new disk image will appear with the name you gave it, and a .dmg extension
Double-click for the password challenge
The disk image will mount on your desktop just like an installer. Double-click to open.If you chose Image format as read/write, you can drag additional Pages documents into this open folder
Right-click on the mounted image and choose Eject to close it
You can edit Pages documents in-place in the mounted folder, but you will get a warning about space in the image container. If you want to increase the disk image size, open it in Disk Utility. It willl appear below the line in the left panel. Select the .dmg there, and from the Images menu, choose Resize…, and adjust accordingly.

Checking I still have a password protected external hard drive

I recently got a new mac (went from a 2009 Lion imac to a 2012 Mavericks imac) and i used time machine to do i (time machine is also encrypted/passworded) All is well.
I use an external 2TB hard drive to store data on and i had set this drive up on the 2009 imac formatted with a password which is saved on my keychain.
When i upgraded everything transfered ok but the time machine drive asked for password, i entered it and again no issues. The 2TB drive however (i turn it off when not in use) didnt ask for a password at all, it works fine but it no longer requires a password?
The other issue i had recently was the fact that randomly when turning the drive on it DID as for the password, which when i entered it... it was wrong? even though it is entered correctly 100%. I then turned the drive off and on again and boom it works, without asking for a password.
So i need to know if its password protected or not! how?

i formatted the hard drive and did it in disk utility, which means a full day or so of formatting and rebacking up, not really viable.

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.

Password protect iWeb page

Is there a way to require a password when visiting a page made with iWeb like there was with Homepage?

That's correct. Also, to clarify, you cannot password protect a page, you have to password protect the entire site. (There are ways around this)
But password protecting will not prevent those who visit from downloading your images. If that is your concern, try searching these discussions, or post a new question. What I remember of previous discussions about protecting images is that a)there are some ways to discourage this but b) there is not way to make it completely impossible to download images.

Why can't I password protect?

I have password-protected a Numbers file, and yet it opens simply by clicking on it, without my having to enter a password. So, apparently the password protection is not working.
I would like to find out what is wrong with this feature in Numbers, and how to make it work properly.

Paul,
1) how did you set the password for your Numbers file? Did you use the inspector?:
See the last section at the bottom of the Document Inspector.
2) When you entered the password did you check the box "Remember this password in my keychanin"? :
3) Have you tried opening the doument in another user space, on another machine?
4) What version of the Numbers are you using? Is the OS X version (10.5.8) really what you are running on?
