Possible to grant PUBLIC access to an application component?

I would like to grant access to a application component similar
to the way a PUBLIC (non-authorized) user can access Oracle's
supplied PEOPLE application.
The link for the component is located in a content area within a
tabbed region of our main page. I have looked at the access
settings for everything that I know of (page, content area,
apllication and component) and access privileges seem to be
correct. I must have something wrong, as it still asks for the
user to login.
Any suggestions on where I have slipped up?

Check the logs.

  • PUBLIC ACCESS TO BA - EXCLUDING USERS

    IF YOU GRANT PUBLIC ACCESS TO BUSINESS AREAS, IS THERE A WAY TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN USERS?

    Hello,
    My comments inline:
    I want users to NOT authenticate but be able to post comments on the wiki pages.
    Go to the Wiki home page as an admin user, under the 'Admin functions' category in the side bar select 'Settings'. On the settings page, you will see a category named 'Comments'. Edit this to select 'Anyone' from the 'Commenters' drop down list. This will allow anyone to add comments. However, they must first be able to view a page before commenting on it. So in Directory.app in the 'Services' tab, select 'Anyone' from the 'view' drop down list.
    I do not want users to edit the wiki, I only want them to be able to post to the wiki.
    It's my understanding that users will not be able to post unless they can edit, with the exception of comments.
    Have users authenticate to comment on wiki's but not be able to edit, delete, etc the main content of the wiki.
    Then select 'Authenticated users' from the 'Commenters' drop down list on the 'Settings' page, and in Directory.app in the 'Services' tab select 'Group Members' from the 'edit' drop down list. The obvious problem with this however is that the user (that you want to be able to comment) can not be a member of the group or the permission doesn't work as intended.

  • Public Access

    who has access to content i post on the cloud?  i understand if i send the URL to someone they can click in, but can my content be accessed by third parties surfing?

    Hi , i have found out how it could be achieved from administration guide:
    Enabling the Ability to Grant Public Access
    Before you can allow public access to a particular folder, you must ensure that the
    ability to grant public access has been enabled at the Site level.
    To ensure that the ability to grant public access is enabled for the Site:
    1. Connect to Oracle Content DB as a user with the Content Administrator and User
    Administrator roles, such as orcladmin.
    2. Change to Administration Mode.
    3. Access the Sharing Properties for the root Site folder.
    4. Ensure that the option Allow public access to be granted has been enabled.
    Allowing Public Access to Oracle Content DB Folders
    To grant public access to a particular folder:
    1. Connect to Oracle Content DB as a user with the Content Administrator and User
    Administrator roles, such as orcladmin.
    2. Change to Administration Mode.
    3. Access the Sharing Properties for the folder to which you want to grant public
    access.
    4. Add the special group Public to this folder. If you cannot add this group, make
    sure that you enabled the ability to grant public access at the Site level, as
    described in the previous procedure.

  • Looking for Suggestions on granting all users access to an application *except a subset of users*

    This might not be the right forum for this question, but since it is related to an App-V application I figured I would try since this may have come up for some of you.  I am looking for the best way to grant all Domain Users access to an application
    except for Domain Admins.  Using the Full App-V infrastructure, I want to grant access to the App-V UI via User Targeting, but I don't want to allow Domain Admins access.  The reason for this is because when we make updates to provisioned
    server cores (stateless), we login with our Admin accounts to make modifications to the cores, and I would like to reduce the steps that need to be taken at the end to ensure that all AppV applications are removed before sealing up the core. 
    Currently, Domain Admins do not have access to any App-V applications, so this process is fairly clean.  All applications are User Targeted. 
    Packages are cached on a persistent D drive on each server, so the issue is that the registry, programdata, and packageinstallationroot become out of sync if packages are pulled down during core modifications after the core is attached to other servers (hence
    other D drives).  Because of this, Machine Targeting is not an option for this either.
     

    This would be so much easier with a "Configuration Manager" like feature where you could create a collection query to accomplish the same thing.  Are there other tools out there that will do the same thing?

  • How do I grant non-logged in user access to application component?

    I want to make the customization page for a report available on

  • Can't access Tools/Options/Applications in FF 12.0

    Every time I try to do the following in FF 12.0, the browser stops responding/hangs/freezes/basically says "sorry, dude:"
    1. Download files either by right clicking and choosing "save" or clicking directly on it. This includes email attachments, videos, etc. I also cannot attach files to emails since the same thing happens the moment I hit "Browse."
    2. Cannot access Tools/Options/Applications, usually getting the same results. In my various attempts to resolve this, I have been able to open that window, but the space where file associations are listed is empty.
    If it's any help, when I've reverted back to FF 3.5.1.9, I can do all those things ... I just can't get "Words With Friends" to load in Facebook.
    What I have done in an attempt to correct this issue:
    1.) Everything, including deleting the various .rdf files, etc.
    2.) Tried starting in safe mode, using every possible variation.
    3.) Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox around a hundred times, removing personal settings and cleaning the registry each time.
    4.) Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and Java three or four times each.
    5.) Everything.
    I am at my wit's end, thus the request for help. Unfortunately, if someone offers a solution, I've probably tried it.
    Additional information: I did use firetune once, returned to the backup configuration I created, used it again and returned to the backup again. This seems to be right around the time the problems began, but I'm not positive.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Running WinXP Media, 512MB RAM, 32-bit, etc.

    Actually, Matt, I have tried that, but I certainly am willing to try again. Do you suggest deleting the current profile and all its settings, deleting the profile and keeping the personal settings, or just adding another complete profile in addition to the one that currently exists?

  • Access Denied Web Application with Claims authentication NTLM only when using secondary URL

    I have a SharePoint 2010 server farm with 2 web front ends, an application server and a database server.  Both front ends are internal to
    our network and are not behind a load balancer.
    NOTE THAT I HAD TO SUBSTITUTE hzzp with hzzp so that I had no links in the body of this post since I am not verified
    I setup a new web application called "SharePoint 41171" with:
    Public URL:
    hzzp://testserver1:41171
    Claims authentication
    NTLM only: no forms auth
    No SSL
    New web site "SharePoint 41171"
    New app pool
    New content database
    I create a top level site collection and name mydomain\myusername as the primary site collection admin
    I am able to access this site as expected at
    hzzp://testserver1:41171 with the aforementioned site collection owner id: mydomain\myusername
    I add an alternate access mapping for a secondary URL for this web application in the Intranet zone:
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com
    So my AAMs for the site read as:
    hzzp://testserver1:41171    
    Default     hzzp://testserver1:41171
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com    
    Intranet     hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com
    When I attempt to log on to
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com with the same user name and password, I get "access denied".
    I can access this site using
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com if I log in as the farm account.  This is the only account that seems to work.
    Side Note: If I create a separate web application without claims - just NTLM and create the same AAMs, I can login fine with the same secondary
    URL and the same user name
    IP address properly maps to this machine.

    Basically it tells me that access is denied.  I didnt see anything that stood out here.
    I found this article:
    hzzp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadminprevious/thread/ded9188b-ee03-4ef0-bb50-3ad138110e0c, which pointed me in the direction of ensuring that the portal
    super user and portal reader accounts were properly added to my web application.  I followed the every popular article on doing this:
    hzzp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758656.aspx, but still no luck.  As per the thread, I added the 2 domain accounts to the user policy with appropriate privilege
    and then set them as the super user and super reader accounts via powershell, and yes I did prefix those names with "i:0#.w|mydomain\".  To be exta sure, I repeated this for all web applications on this server with slightly different powershell steps
    depending on wether or not claims was enabled on the web application.
    The Claims to Windows Token Service is running.
    I saw some mention of ensuring that the secure token service is running with a proper application pool account, but we are not running that service
    and I cant imagine what that would have to do with my situation.
    I have deleted and readded the web application and repeated these steps to no better effect.
    I gave the mydomain\myusername full control for the web application through the user policy, ensured that it was indeed the primary site collection
    owner and added it to the default site owners group.  None of this helped.
    I changed the application pool account to the farm account.  No change in behavior.
    Rebooted IIS and the machines many times along the way.
    Further, when I attempt to sign in as a different user after being denied, I get "an unexpected error has occured message.  I found the following

    Thanks spadminspadmin:
    I have, though I am not sure that what I've added there is correct:
    The URL that I am trying to use to access the web application's IIS site is hxxp://iwatest.mydomain.com.  I added a binding to the IIS site as follows:
    Type    Host name                      port        IP address
    http     iwatest.mydomain.com     41171     *
    Is that correct?

  • Setting up access points for public access

    Okay, here's the situation. I have a PowerMac G4/1.25GHz dual processor running Server X 10.3.9 with four Mac clients (a small law office). Up until recently, everyone had also been running (client) 10.3.9, but I started upgrading some of them to 10.4 (currently 10.4.5). When I did this, they started running into problems with Word sometimes giving a "network or file permission error" when attempting to save documents to the server. After weeks of posting questions to Word support and trying everything in the book that I could think of, I found Apple recently posted what appears to be the answer to this (article 302979, "Microsoft Office applications fail to save to a server volume." The problem? I have all four users logging into the same account on the server, and when one of them logs out, it zaps everything in a Microsoft-created temp folder on the server, including temp files created by open documents created by other clients. Sheesh.
    I had everyone set to use the same account because they have no need of document security -- everyone should be able to get into everyone else's files on the server, period. So, because of this snafu, I've created separate accounts for each of the users. My problem now is that, if user "X" creates a file or folder on the server, user "Y" cannot modify it because it is created as read-only. Strangely, if someone modifies an existing file, it doesn't change the user rights at all -- not sure why.
    I'll admit to being a bit of a novice with Server X but am familiar with parent/child folder permissions -- I think I've got everything set right, but I must obviously be missing something. Here's what I've got setup, and what I've tried. If anyone can point out how I've got this setup improperly, I really need to get this fixed... thanks.
    I have a single sharepoint ("workfiles"). I used the "public" folder as an example, and set the owner to "root" and the group to "staff". Further, I set the owner, group and everyone privileges to "read & write". I've also tried setting the group to "admin". All the individual user accounts I've set are also setup as admin users. I've tried setting each users's primary group as "staff (20)" or "admin (80)". I've copied all these privileges to all enclosed items, which does reset everything to public access, but as soon as someone creates a new folder or file, that folder/file becomes private to that user (it shows up with the creator's username as "owner" (r&w), group as "admin (read-only), and others as "read-only" as well.
    PS: If upgrading the server to Server X 10.4 would help, I'm sure I can arrange that.

    In our law firm, the server (10.4.4), we have set access to read/write access so staff can open client files/folders, edit then and close, etc. That seems to be working okay. Before the tech worked on permissions, if someone created a letter another staff member could open it, but it was read-only.
    The problem we are having is that if a file that is clicked on stationery pad and we want to edit it, it will not allow us to. For example, if we need to edit our letterhead that normally comes up as an untitled document, if I unclick the stationery pad box, it unclicks, but it still comes up as an untitled document. I even tried to unclick a stationery pad on a document that I created before the server upgrade and it wouldn't let me.
    If I create a brand new document and put it on stationery pad, it comes up untitled as it should. If another user on another desktop wants to make changes, they unclick the stationery pad box, but when they open it, it comes up untitled and in checking get info, the stationery pad is selected.
    The tech set it up as follows:
    Share Points and All tabs:
    General tab: box to share this item and its contents is clicked
    Access tab: owner, group and everyone have read/write privileges
    If select dial at bottom to propagate permissions, all boxes are checked, except for access control list, which is shaded.
    I cannot drag/add anything to the control list and the pencil and the minus sign is shaded
    Protocol tab: Both boxes, share item using AFP and Allow AFP guest users are clicked. But for better security in reading the article, this should be unchecked.
    Also under the protocol tab: the inherit permission from parent radio dial is clicked, not the use standard POSIX behavior.
    What are we missing?
    Thanks, Cheryl

  • Need advice for an application that restricts access to other applications using a smart card

    Hello everybody,
    I am developing a system that uses a smart card reader attached to a USB port of a PC.
    What the system should provide is:
    When computer boots up and shows the users login screen, a user, previously registered, can use his smart card to access the system, instead of entering his password
    Once the user is logged in, when he tries to launch an application, which has previously marked as "secured", a dialog box is shown indicating that the user has to present his smart card. If the smart card has access to the application, the application
    is launched, otherwise an error message is shown to the user and the application is not executed.
    I develop in C++ and C#. I have already created a library (in Visual C++) that manages the smart card reader and provides the card presented to it.
    Now I am developing the applicastion (in C#) that will configure the security (assigning cards to users and applications).
    Concerning this, I have 2 questions regarding each point above:
    Is it possible to create the centralized application that lists all users and allows to assign cards to them? Then, when the users login screen is shown, the system must access that data before logging in, so that it can check which card was presented and
    what user it corresponds to. I have seen in laptops, that have embedded fingerprint readers, a user must login to his account first and then he can register his fingerprints. In fact, what I need to do is something similar but with smart card reader instead
    of fingerprint reader. So, perhaps, user must login into his account first and then he will be able to add his card and store that information somewhere (in windows registry maybe).
    How can I launch my application when other application is executed but before its interface is actually shown? this is similar to what antivirus programs do, because they check the executable before it is actually ran. What is the best method to address
    the application? by executable file name? process name? or other? if the best is by process name, how can I know the process name without actually running the application?
    Well, that is all what I need to do. Please advice regarding this subject.
    I look forward to hearing from you,
    Best regards,
    Jaime
    Powered by C++

    > what was the guidance?
    1. Research other software that does similar things (not just exactly the same) as you need. If you like something in their solutions, copy it :)
    The only software I know that does that is an antivirus, but I am unlucky to find some code in c++ that allows to intercept the program execution before actually executing it.
    2. If a kernel driver would fit in your solution, go for it (google for what is available for free, or find a consultant to write it for you).
    There are a lot of information about kernel drivers, but the question is, is that really the solution?
    Otherwise, you can just hide the application from user's reach and substitute the executable in shortcuts, etc. to run your program instead.
    Definetly this is not the way to go
    What is the best method to address the application? by executable file name? process name? or other?
    By executable file name, like in the Windows Applocker, I think. Processes do not have names (they are artifact of Task manager and debugging tools, to represent the processes for user somehow). Or, only by the filename part of the full path.
    I agree with that
    if the best is by process name, how can I know the process name without actually running the application?
    When the user runs the application, the driver will detect this and do its magic.
    I have found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3556048/how-to-detect-win32-process-creation-termination-in-c. They mention WMI, but I will study it tommorow... it is so late for today :-)

  • Trying to compare FCP with Media 100 for a Public Access studio

    Hi all,
    I am new here. I do most of the review of products for our Public Access studio. We have a couple of existing Media 100 systems and we are considering adding or upgrading our NLE capabilities. Our studio manager had a chance to look at FCP being used at our high school and she came back with a number of impressions that I wonder about and would like to vet with people who know more about FCP. So, any comments would be helpful.
    The high school media person demo’d FCP for her and let her play with it a bit. After looking at it herself, she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before. That is fairly typical of the people doing Public Access production in our town.
    However, it looks to her like there are a lot of tools that come with FCP that Media 100 either doesn't have or are not easily found in it. For example, she feels FCP’s set up looks more complicated and confusing compared to Media 100’s, but in FCP you can have up to 99 video lines in a program, where with Media 100 we're just going back and forth between the a and b video lines. Plus you can have up to 99 Audio tracks on FCP as well, where our max at the moment is 8. Now as to when you would need 99 video or audio tracks, she is not sure, but it is definitely a capability that we don't have in Media 100.
    Titling looked easier to her on Media 100. With FCP there were a lot of filters involved and hoops to jump through, plus she couldn't do a word with each letter a different color, for example, unless she did each letter on a different track.
    The media person warned her that FCP is really large. Apparently the program itself takes up like 35 GB of space on the hard drive, and a typical 30 min. project comes in at over 100 GB! She couldn't believe it, but she was assured it’s true. Even with our longest programs, like like a School Committee meeting thqat went 3 1/2 hours, it would came in at a max of 30 GB on the Media 100. She got the impression this big difference was so because Final Cut renders everything you do, including rendering any edits you make on your footage as new files, and stores it all in a huge folder. She thinks with Media 100, you import the footage and use it as is - the only things it will render are screen freezes, transitions, and color effects. Is that sort of comparison correct (and fair), or is something being missed?
    She says in her experience that something like iMovie is the most basic as far as what you can do, then Ulead would be a step above that- the editing is basically the same, but you have a few more options. Media 100 would be next as far as ease of use and understanding of the program. FCP seemed a little confusing even to her. Comments or insights?

    Welcome to the family, maybe.
    I switched from M100 about four years ago, I was never so glad to give that company the boot. A direct comparison just isn't possible but I'll try to answer some questions. There is a Media 100 forum on creativecow.net.
    she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before.< </div>
    Yes, absolutely, M100 has always had an elegant and refined interface. However, the paradigm in FCP is not opaque. It's far more interesting, deeper, more complex. So, yes, it's a bit tougher to grasp. But don't sell your students/users short. They'll get it.
    99 tracks is marketing BS. The serious work is done with nesting. How many public access pieces need more than 5 or 10 video tracks?
    Titling in FCP depends on third party filters like Boris or tools like LiveType and Motion. The basic titling tools in FCP are lame and difficult to use, in my opinion, compared to the elegant titler in M100 (as long as you don't launch Graffiti).
    The installation includes tens of gigs of animation, movie and music loop resources that you don't need to load. The suite includes Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and FCP.
    If you're shooting DV, a 3-1/2 hour show is, umm, well, you look it up, DV is DV. But if you're capturing 3 hours from each of three cameras, that's a lot of DV.
    Rendering depends on lots of things. M100's native codec handles lots of realtime stuff that FCP can't unless you've got a huge Macintosh. Previewing is not a big deal at lower rez in FCP, you get used to it. .
    FCP is really scary. You can look at thousands of "I'm in way over my head, HELP!" posts here. But all those folks find they slip right into the Apple paradigm, the weirdly new workflow and start exploring the wide new world of serious editing that FCP opens up. You'll hate it for a few months because it's so dramatically different from M100. You'll love it, though.
    If you want to continue the thread, give the rest of the disaffected former M100 users a few days to post their comments. There are many of us here. Then maybe start a new thread, one question at a time.

  • Is it possible to print a JPanel from the application?

    Hello,
    Just a quick question: Is it possible to print a JPanel from your application? I have plotted a graph and I would like user to be able to print this with a click of a button (or similar)
    Thanks very much for your help, its appreciated as always.
    Harold Clements

    It is absolutely possible
    Check out my StandardPrint class. Basically all you need to do is
    (this is pseudocode. I don't remember the exact names of methods for all this stuff. Look it up if there's a problem)
    PrinterJob pd = PrinterJob.createNewJob();
    StandardPrint sp = new StandardPrint(yourComponent);
    pd.setPageable(sp);
    //if you want this
    //pd.pageDialog();
    pd.doPrint();You are welcome to have use and modify this class but please don't change the package or take credit for it as your own code.

    pop up window asks for password to access os x applications: how to bypass annoying signing in?

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

  • Access jsp's application object from an .java file?

    Hi,
    I hava a .jsp page and an import statement to a .java file. How can I access the application object in this .java file?
    I want to make an initialization function that I want to be called in every .jsp of the WEB application and to store this function in a .java file.

    The only way to get a hold of the application object would be to pass it to java code as a parameter to a method.
    ie public class Util{
    public void initialiseJSPPage(ServletContext application){
      // do stuff in ServletContext
    }and then in the JSP call it via
    <% Util.initialiseJSPPage(application); %>
    You could manually include this code on every JSP.
    A better alternative is that in web.xml you can configure an automatic include (See JSP.3.3.5)
    What is it you are trying to accomplish by doing this?
    Would a Filter be a more appropriate tool in this case? That would let you run java code before selected requests are handled.
    Cheers,
