Password Security gets lost in portfolio/Low definition printing
Using Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0.0, I created a portfolio and added two PDF files to it (these files were not themselves password protected).
I then used File / Portfolio Properties / Security to apply password security, Encrypt except metadata, open password, permissions password allowing High Resolution printing and no changes finally allowing copying of text.
After completion, I then saved the file and closed acrobat.
Then clicked on secured file to open acrobat and was correctly asked for the opening password.
I then changed to list view, clicked on a file, Saved file from portfolio and saved it.
Clicked on PDF document (within portfolio) and looked at Portfolio properties and the security settings were still displayed.
Clicked on OPEN button (top right) and the document was opened. Document Properties still show security set.
Closed acrobat completely.
Clicked on saved document from portfolio and was surprised to find no security settings at all. No opening password, no password for changing document, completely open.
This is a major security hole from what I can see.
Another similar problem. If I secure a PDF document with password security as above, yet with low resolution printing. I can then reopen the secured document and print to an Adobe printer driver creating a new unsecured PDF from my secured document.
I cannot believe Adobe could leave two such wide security holes in Acrobat 9 so surely I am missing something here.
Can someone please tell me how to put together a portfolio without these massive security problems.
Regards
John
Assigning security to a portfolio will not assign security to the individual documents.

Password for Wireless Connection is getting lost in ATV
HI, since I updated my ATV to 3.01 my password for the Wireless connection is getting lost at least once a day! I always have to type in the password new.
I had this problem already some months ago, but then it worked fine. Now after the latest update the problem pops up again!
Any idea what this could be?
Thanks,
MichaelWelcome to the Discussion Forums.
Whilst I understand that losing the password is an issue and a time consuming chore to retype back in, surely your first issue is why you keep losing connection to need to reconnect in the first place.
What type of security are you using on your network, have you tried changing channels to avoid interference. -

You have to restore the iPod. Plug in to iTunes and click Restore. You will also need to have the device enter Recovery Mode since it has a passcode.

i have apple id but i not have password. Im lost my e-mail and im not remember security question and answer. I restore factory to days a go in my iphone 4s and must activate. what im must doing? in my phone is find my phone is on
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How to retrieve password of password secure package.
Hi All,
Right now I am migrating old SSIS packages from one server to another.
While exporting packages from msdb it asked for password as it is password secured.
Is there any way by which we can get package password from msdb.
Got something from below URL but we don't have any job that is executing this package:
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/argenis_fernandez/archive/2011/11/09/tale-of-an-encrypted-ssis-package-in-msdb-and-a-lost-password.aspx
Plz comment.
Thanks
Ritu
Ritz
RitzThe quick answer is its not possible.
To elaborate
If protection level is EncryptAllWithPassword then you dont have a way out to open the package without password
If protection level is EncryptSensitiveWithPassword package will open but without any sensitive info like connection info,password etc. You would still be able to execute paclage if you have a configuration defined in it with available values or you manually
fill in the sensitive values yourselves
If you want packages to be upgraded you need to open a new Integration Services project in the BIDS/SSDT-Bi environment of latest version and include each packages inside it and save it. Then they will get upgaded and once deployed to new server they will
work fine

Yesterday I uploaded Yosemite 10.10.2 thinking it was fixed by now. In Mail, my POP account gets this error message: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
My provider says it's an Apple issue. The gmail accounts are logging in fine. Any help? Something simple?
Thanks anyone.Thanks Csound1. That did work and Mail was able to connect to the internet. Green light status. Is it because of my provider that I may never have had secure connections? Is that an Apple thing or do PCs have the same issues? Appreciate your help. I'll research insecure connections as I am ignorant of the consequences.

Hi All,
I need help, my password keeps getting hacked, and I keep changing the password, and changing all my security questions. I have changed everything I can. How can I disable my account, but not lose everything that I already have in there? Is this possible or do I have to start all over again?You might have some better luck if you call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

hello!
when i try to remove password security from my pdf file , i get this message

Hi, I have searched on the web and have encountered an disturbing new.
This site explains the flaw with PDF security:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/PDFsecurity.pdf
The following site claims that they can remove password security embeded in PDF files that prevents people from modifying or copying information within seconds:
http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html
Is it still true for the latest version of Acrobat Professional?
If it is true, I think there is nothing protecting my intellectual property.
Is there some other ways I can make sure that they can only view, print, but not modify or copy the contents in my PDF files?
Adobe staffs, please take a look at this closely.Did you see the warning that you get when setting security in Acrobat?
In Acrobat 8, "All Adobe products enforce the restrictions set by the
Permissions Password. However, not all third party products fully
support and respect these settings. Recipients using such third-party
products might be able to bypass some of the restrictions you set".
So, while disturbing, this isn't really news.
But in any case, Acrobat's password security does nothing really to
protect you from copying. Any file can be copied or shared. If you
want to protect your intellectual property, you have to enter the
controversial and often expensive world of DRM.

TreeTable with inputText column data gets lost in adf 10g
Hello All. I have a TreeTable in my page with two columns for user inputs. After a node is expanded, the data gets lost... The TreeTable was created using ViewObjects, here is one example of the sql query of one of the ViewObjects:
select distinct det.cliente id_cliente
, cust.customer_name descripcion
, city.id_simcot
, to_number(null) horas_normales
, to_number(null) horas_recargo
, 'CLIENTE' tipo
from grc_dist_factura dist
, grc_det_simcot_v city
, grc_det_dist_factura det
, ra_customers cust
where det.id_dist_fact = dist.id_dist_fact
and cust.party_id = det.cliente
and dist.id_det_simcot = city.id_det_simcot
and city.tipo = 'CIUDAD'
The inputText are mapped to the attributes HorasNormales and HorasRecargo. Those columns does not existe in DataBase, that's why I create them in the View Object in that way.
This is my TreeTable:
<af:treeTable value="#{bindings.GrcConfTarifaRaizView.treeModel}"

Can any one help me please?
byeThanks for the links.
I checked them up, but first, I noticed they apply to adf 11g, and second none of them use inputText in columns. I really couldn't find a any idea to solve my issue.
Any other suggestions?
My problem is that when I expand/collapse a node, the values in the inputTexts are lost. I don't know if I need something else on my page Definition...
thank you. -
Did copy paste between projects get lost in LG 9?
A thing I often did in LG 8, was copying a bunch of midi regions from one LG project to another.
It was brilliant, as you just select the regions in one sequence, copy them, go to the other sequence, hit paste and it would ask if I wanted to paste them on track with the same name or something like that, and it would always put the regions on the right tracks in the same track setup.
Now, in LG 9, when I try doing that, it doesn't ask me anything, and just sticks all the tracks at the bottom of my sequence when I hit paste.
If I only had 5 tracks that wouldn't be such a big deal, but my template has 600 tracks, and dragging the regions on the right tracks takes way too much time.
Is this a setting I need to click somewhere, or did this feature get lost in LG 9?
I know about the import setting, but that takes too much time and in a template with 600 tracks I woulnd't instantly know which tracks I contain regions.
Thankswhen I export to DV, it still doesn't look as good as when I go straight from iMovie6 to iDVD?
Doesn't look as good where? Remember that iMovie display is only a preview. Also QT Player defaults to low-res display of DV clips.

iMovie's expert settings are buggy so use the Full Quality preset instead.

Soap faultcode and faultstring getting lost

Java-administrator password keeps getting locked
Hi,
We have a portal 7.3 in which the Java-administrator password keeps getting locked. I can't see anything in the log traces in NWA. The only thing I've found is in security_audit logfile which doesn't really say much:
#2.0 #2014 07 17 05:47:03:913#+0200#Info#/System/Security/Audit/PrincipalModification#

User account modified | USERACCOUNT.MODIFY | UACC.PRIVATE_DATASOURCE.un:Administrator | | SET_ATTRIBUTE: islocked=[true], SET_ATTRIBUTE: lockreason=[1]#
Please advice,
Thanks.Hi,
there exists a trace location that should provide useful information for such cases. It is described in SAP note:
1493272 - A user gets locked automatically
My suggestion is add the location com.sap.security.core.userlocking as
specified in the attachment to the note and once it is added, set that
location to DEBUG and wait for the user to be locked again. Hopefully additional information concerning the origin of the bad credentials will be written to traces.
Exactly how you capture the traces depends on the frequency in which
the user becomes locked. For example if the user becomes locked every
few minutes, after adding the location in the configtool and
restarting the system, I suggest using the Security Troubleshooting
Wizard to do so. Refer to note 1332726 - Troubleshooting Wizard and
its attachments. Create a custom incident that is a copy of the
Authentication incident and add this location
com.sap.security.core.userlocking to the newly created incident
Set the wizard to use this new incident for trace collection and wait
for the user to become locked. Then immediately stop the wizard's
trace collection
I
f the locking occurs less frequently than every few minutes, it is
preferable to use the NWA to adjust the severity of these locations
and their sublocations to DEBUG and wait for the issue to reoccur
com.sap.security.core.userlocking
com.sap.engine.interfaces.security
com.sap.engine.services.httpserver.HttpTraceRequest.traceRaw
com.sap.engine.services.httpserver.HttpTraceResponse.traceHeaders
com.sap.engine.services.security.authentication
com.sap.security.core.logon
com.sap.security.core.ticket
com.sap.security.core.util
com.sap.security.core.server.jaas

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/47/af551efa711503e10000000a42189c/content.htm
Don't forgot to change these back to default severity levels after the
issue has captured in the traces

David
