Potential Risks in Setting SAP Logon Security Settings

In SAP GUI Options - SAP Logon u2013 Security u2013 Security Settings we would like to know the risks pertaining to setting the default Status as Customized and the Default Action to Allow. This would be set in the Registry so that Users would not be able to change it. We do have some security rules set by the administrator, all are directories primarily driven by converting to Excel docs in BW. To reiterate, what are the risks to u201Chard codingu201D the default Status as Customized and the Default Action to Allow?
Thanks,

Ahmad,
SOAP adapter supports SSL and Digital Certificates and you need to configure your SSL on the J2EE stack before you can use the same on your SOAP adapter.
Look into this blog to understand what needs to be done.

Command to set modify Advanced Security Settings (Audit Settings for folders) on windows 2008

Hello,
We have requirement to modify Advanced Security Settings (Audit Settings for folders) on windows 2008. I am looking for a command which does this job.
I know, using group policies I can do this; in fact I had done this using group policies. However, I need to do this on number of servers which are not in domain. There are around 15 folders on which I need to enable Auditing; manual editing folder advanced
permissions is a cumbersome job. Hence, I am looking for a command line options.
I need to know how command can be utilised to enable Audit option on a folder. Please share a command which can do this; once I get the command, I will create a batch file for other necessary folders. (BTW, this is not a scripting question, I just need to
know the command hence, please do not re-direct me to scripting forum)
Manually through GUI, I am setting following.. snaps are given below
Thanks !

You can try using Auditpol.exe: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731451%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Websites blocked because of security settings I didn't set for Yahoo games

I've been playing Yahoo games for years. About 3 days ago, they failed to load. When I asked about it, I saw that lots of other people were having the same problem. So I waited. This morning I tried to get into one of the games and got: Application Blocked because of Security Settings". I didn't set any different security settings. Then something about expired jre?? Wassup?

Does anyone understand Security settings for Portfolios??

Thanks, Philip, you answered part of my question. I'm still searching for a way to keep people from printing or editing my artwork I place in the portfolio I'm building in Acrobat. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find any specific information, at least none I can understand, on this simple problem.
Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 on a Mac. Creating a portfolio of my artwork to either burn to cd or email. I want the recipient to ONLY be able to VIEW the artwork, not print or edit. I do not understand the Security settings, and I have read the section on Choosing a security method. Still confused. After going to File> Modify PDF Portfolio> Secure Portfolio..... what do I choose in all the Security settings? I'm sure some of the people viewing the portfolio will have a full version of Acrobat, and not just the reader. Please help or advise where I can find more online help for this simple problem. Thanks.

As for editing art work you can do the as I suggested with layer with Opacity set to 1% then Flatten That will prevent (Or should) the editing art work.
AS for locking preventing printing and editing You can set that inTools > Security settings (then password protect).
Note Security is fairly easy for anyone to evercome. There are bunches of programs out on the net to do just that.
Most Honest, Ethical, persons will abide. But there are I am afraid in today's world little of that left. So there is better than 50/50 chance your stuff will be swiped.I would not dream of doing such, except if it was one I created, I set password on, and forgot the password.
When I was growing up, when I was about 7, I picked up a pencil in a 5&10 cent store and when my mother found it when we got out the door she marched me back in , told me to give the pencil back, and applogize. Then when I got home my bottom was smoked. I still remember my backside smarting all these years. I would no more steal anything. than I would try to kill someone. Just not in my nature.
In todays world if a kid did similar, the parent is more likely shrug it off, or ask the kid how they got away with it , show and ask them how.
A sad comentary on the world.

Best Wireless Security Settings-WRT54G Linksys Router

I've been running into problems attempting to set the wireless security settings for my router and then trying to connect to the internet from my iBook. As long as I enable SSID broadcasting I can find my router but the problem starts when I enable the security settings. The iBook will then ask for the password and nothing I've inserted works??? I'm at a loss. I've given up, those sorts of brickwalls can do a number on your head--major headache this weekend..so I will try again tomorrow. I thought the passphrase is your password--the only thing that I haven't tried (after searching the forums here) is putting the $ in front. Does anyone have this particular router that can give me some suggestions (in basic, simple terms please) that can help me get started on a good security setup so that I won't be scared someone in the neighborhood (as I've read previously) is scanning and can log onto my internet connection. Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Why in heaven would you want WEP to secure your network when you can have WPA which is more secure and doesn't have this kind of problems???
With the right tools (available free on the net) you can crack almost any WEP protected network in less than a day (I have done this with my friends to prove them how weak WEP is).
So imagine you set your WEP protected network, a neighbor crack it and use it, all of this while you CAN'T use your own network.
You should try WPA, good luck...
BTW: I have the same router, with WPA and SSID broadcast disabled.

Setting the default resolution for sap logon

Hi, ALL!
I'm terribly tired of SAP interface. It's so uncomfortable for work.
For example maybe you know khow to set the default resolution for sap logon to make it use its widgets of proper size. e.g. when i work with transfer rules, it has only half of screen for useful area (i use 1400x1050), and right part is just empty, but on the left very many small fields and you should constantly use scrollbars (i think you know it well). Maybe there is system customizing for this purpose.

Hello Dmitry,
There is no customizing for this - atleast to my knowledge.
However, you should have to redo the settings again and again unless you are continuously re-sizing the main window.
Cheers
Aneesh

Metro IE - Your current security settings are putting you at risk

This problem has suddenly occured after a restart. I do not know why. I did run malwarebytes earlier and it found an removed a few items. I have since uninstalled it.
When I open the metro version of IE, I get a blank page. When I open a new tab, I similarly get a blank page. On entering a URL in the address bar of any tab, I hit return or the 'go' arrow, and nothing happens. The same is true if I select an address from
my favourites list.
On the screen at the bottom is a message that reads: "Your current security settings are putting you at risk". It has an option called "Fix settings for me". I click this and nothing happens.
I have closed and re-started IE and the problem does not go away. Desktop IE shows nothing unusual that I can see.
I have checked that Windows Defender is enabled and it is. Ditto for SmartScreen and the Windows firewall.
I want to know what these settings are that are supposed to change, and how to do so. The Fix Settings For Me button responds to my clicking (it flashes colour), but appears to do nothing.
Thanks for any help. I did search for some time but couldn't find anything. It's all references to Vista, XP or desktop IE.

Need network security settings for wireless printer set-up

I have an older airpot extreme base station. I'm trying to set-up my wireless brother printer and it says that I need the following network information:
SSID- I know this one
Authentication Method (open system/shared key/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
Encription Mode (None/WEP/TKIP/AES/CKIP)
Encryption Key (WEP key/Passphrase)
From what I've found, I believe that I should be using WPA-PSK and TKIP, but what is that passphrase that I'm supposed to use or where can I find out that information?

I am also trying to set up a wireless printer set up. I have an Airport Extreme and a new Brother wireless printer. Sounds perfect, right? Well, I am so confused right now. I bought an Airport Extreme while overseas a bunch of years ago and am now using it in the States. I have no memory of any info such as what is being asked from me to set up wireless printing. I don't remember the wireless security password, authenication method, or either of the Encryption thingies. I don't know where to find this information, whether it be on my computer somewhere or online. Please advise. Plus I don't use any security settings as I live pretty far from other humans in my neighborhood. Does that matter in the big picture?
Please help a girl out!

Setting "Advanced security settings" on an OU using Powershell

Hello,
I have been tasked to create an OU with the simular permissions as another. On the current OU, the admin1 acount has special permissions (set within the Advanced Security Settings). For the new OU, they want a new admin2 account to have the same permissions
on the OU as admin1 has on the current OU.
I was able to extract the OU permissions using the following Powershell script:
Get-QADObject 'OU=Temp,OU=,OU=Group,DC=Department,DC=Company,DC=com' -SecurityMask Dacl -sizelimit 0 |
Get-QADPermission -Inherited -SchemaDefault |
Select-Object account, rights, source, appliesto |
Sort-Object account |
Export-Csv c:\temp\report.csv -NoTypeInformation
However, Powershell script did not provide the "Advanced Security Settings". Therefore, I am looking for a couple Powershell commands that:
1. Copies the permission entries of the Advanced Security Settings Properties on an OU
or
2. Sets the permission entries of the Advanced Security Settings Properties on an OU
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please try with the following code to copy the atestuser1's ACL on TempOU1 and assign atestuser2 on TempOU2. Please be advised to test in your lab/test environment first. I tested only once. :)

$user1 = 'adatum\atestuser1'
$ou2 = [adsi]"LDAP://OU=TempOU2,dc=adatum,dc=lab"
$user2 = 'adatum\atestuser2'
$acl1 = $ou1.psbase.ObjectSecurity.Access | ? {$_.IdentityReference -eq $user1}
Write-host ($acl1 | out-string)

Write-host ($acl2 | out-string)
$acl2 | % { $ou2.psbase.ObjectSecurity.AddAccessRule($_) }

SAP Netweaver/General settings/Set Countries/Set Country-Specific Checks

Hi All,
following the customizing navigation:
SAP Netweaver/General settings/Set Countries/Set Country-Specific Checks
By the flag "Other data", I can activate the check of tax numbers.
So, SAP gives me an error message if a tax number filled in master data of customers or vendors is wrong.
I'd like to change the message in warning...
I've tried to do it, but without unsuccessfully.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks

Hello,
This is a cross client activity which is not directly available in the system in OBA5.
The error message that is AR191
You need to go to transaction code OBMSG and enter the message number in application area.
In case if you get a warning message at this time stating that: "Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted". In that case you need to check with your basis administration to allow the cross client settings in SCC4. Until you make necessary changes in SCC4, your OBMSG transaction code is in ONLY DISPLAY mode.
Application Area: AR
Message No.191
Allowed: W
Standard: E
Save your entries.
Now this is available in OBA5 and give the application area AR and enter the message number.
In Online and batch put the message number to W.
Save your entries.
Hope this solve your issue.
Regards,
Ravi

How to disable security warning "Your current security settings put your computer at risk"

Hi,
I wonder if able to disable the security warning bar at the bottom of the IE window. I enabled the ActiveX control and plug-ins in the IE Option settings, this caused the security warning "Your current security settings put
your computer at risk" pop up whenever load the pages. Is there a way can turn off this warning?
Thanks a lot for helping!

That is not an option for Koreans...
In Korea, most of commercial, financial, or governmental operations need to be done on the Internet. In early 2000's, IE could not support high security outside US due to US laws (that was stupid, but happened) , so Korean sites developed cryptography ActiveX
controls to circumvent it. Korean government made laws to force all sites to use those kind of ActiveX controls at that time.
A decade has passed, and now the stupid US law has been repealed. But the cryptography ActiveX industry has become so strong (probably bribing the high officers in the government), that all Korean sites are still using those kind of ActiveX controls. And
you know, they require Windows and IE. Recently some sites started to support other browsers, but still the majority requires IE and ActiveX.
So, if you live in Korea, you have no choice but to use IE on Windows to get things done, and almost all sites popup ActiveX installation dialogues constantly. If you do not change the security settings, when you approve the installation, the whole site
refreshes. That is time-consuming and frustrating.
To keep my mental heath, I deal with all Korean sites in a virtual machine. To avoid the refresh problem, I have changed the security settings from "prompt" to "enable". The "Your security is at risk..." banner at the bottom
of IE is surely annoying. I hope Microsoft let us either remove that banner or remove the support of ActiveX controls altogether.

Can not set security settings explicitly

Hi,
I'm trying to create a workspace(library) and a folder via APIs and need the program NOT TO INHERIT security setting from the library to the sub folder.
Given below are my attribute for the workspace creation and folder creation respectively,
Attributes for the workspace:
NamedValue[] wsDef = WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
{ Attributes.NAME, workspaceName },
{ Attributes.DESCRIPTION, workspaceDesc },
{ Attributes.SECURITY_CONFIGURATION,
WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
{ Attributes.GRANTS, wsGrants }}) } });
Where wsGrants,
contains row with
NamedValue[] wsReaderGRPGrant = WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
{ Attributes.GRANTEE, attr[0].getValue()},
{ Attributes.ROLES, new long[] { readerRole.getId() }},
{Attributes.PROPAGATING, Boolean.FALSE}});
Attributes for the folder:
NamedValue[] fDef = WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
{ Attributes.NAME, folderName },
{ Attributes.DESCRIPTION, folderDesc},
{ Attributes.HAS_EXPLICIT_SECURITY_CONFIGURATION,Boolean.TRUE} });
With these setting, the sub folder still inherits security settings from the workspace.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Tenjuka

I haven't tried to create this sort of setup using code, yet. Some thoughts though...
In what order are you performing these steps? One of things I've observed is that when using the Content UI, when switching from Inherit to Modify, the base security configuration starts out the same as the parent. Are you still seeing the "inherit" switch set to on your subfolder?
Another thought, it would appear that you are setting each GRANT to be non-propagating for the user being added with the READER role to the workspace. This would imply that only accounts added in with this should not propagate to the folder that isn't inheriting. Are you seeing these additional readers?
Is the workspace security configuration set to CONFIGURATION_FINAL? Are you supplying a security configuration for the subfolder after providing the HAS_EXPLICIT_SECURITY_CONFIGURATION attribute for the folder? Perhaps the system doesn't like having a null security configuration when it's been instructed that there is one.

How to Activate Send SAP Logon Ticket in Logon Security...??

Hi
I am trying to create RFC Destination for SAP EP 6.0. Here i need to activate <b>Send SAP Logon Ticket</b>. But that Activate Radio button is in disable mode. How to make it enable. Please Help me
Best Regards
Ravi Shankar B

The F1 help for this option says:
<i>When you activate this option, an attempt is made to create and send the SAP logon ticket for the current session, for a logon to the target system. Before you can create this ticket, the environment must be configured appropriately (for example, the profile parameter login/create_sso2_ticket must be set to 2).</i>
So, J. has the right idea...
