Protected Mode Settings
Hello,
We are currently using Click-Once to deploy our software and it seems like Protected Mode is blocking our .application from running.
I was curious what settings "Protected Mode" actually changes for the block to occur?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
The article doesn't tell me which settings Protected Mode actually changes. It just says it stops malware.
What settings does it change if any?
Can you explain it more clearly ? I am not able to understand what you want exactly.

Dear Friends,
In 11g databgurad i am setting the Protection mode of Primary to : Maximum protection at the DB level(so that it uses sync)
But while defining in init file if i say ASYNC for standby DB as mentioned below
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2= 'SERVICE=boston ASYNC
Then will setting will take precednce , SYNC from maximum protection mode defined at DB level (or) ASYNC which is defined in init file?
(or) will it throw error if there is any mismatch?

you can confirm this in the alert log and v$database on the standby DB
SQL> alter database SET STANDBY DATABASE TO MAXIMIZE PROTECTION;
Database altered.
Perform a log switch at the primary DB i.e alter system switch logfile;
SQL> select PROTECTION_MODE from v$database;
PROTECTION_MODE
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
SQL> SYNC is a major attributes you need to set, if you want MAXIMUM PROTECTION mode.

How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Starting with Flash Player 11.3, a protected mode was added as a new security enhancement for Firefox 4.0 and greater on Windows Vista and higher. This security enhancement is designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious Flash content (SWF files). For additional details on this feature, please see Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
After reviewing this FAQ, we'd appreciate if you would take a minute to let us know if it helped. There is a link to a two question survey at the bottom of the page.
While we believe this feature is fully tested and reliable, if you encounter issues with Firefox we recommend the following troubleshooting steps.
Problem: Flash content does not appear, YouTube display errors such as "An error occurred. Please try again later.", or Flash video will not function properly.
Solution: If RealPlayer is installed on your system, please disable the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Preferences.
Choose Download & Recording from the left hand panel
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers"
Click OK and close RealPlayer
Restart Firefox
If you are viewing this page in Firefox and Flash Player is not working, please click here for an HTML5 version of this video: YouTube HTML5 HD Link
Problem: RealPlayer is not installed, Flash Player crashes in Firefox
Solution:
Troubleshoot Extensions and Add-Ons by launching Firefox in Safe Mode
1. Exit Firefox
2. Click Start > Run
3. Type the following then press [Enter]:
firefox.exe -p
4. Click Continue in Safe Mode
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, please try to isolate it down to an individual plug-in.
1. Exit Firefox
2. Re-launch Firefox
3. Click Firefox > Add-Ons > Extensions
4. Click Disable on all of your extensions
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem, while enabling each extension until you can reproduce the issue
If the issue persists in Safe-Mode, please continue with the steps below:
Some users have indicated that random crashing stops when clearing their Firefox profile. This step will allow you to temporarily test with a clean set of Firefox preferences, without losing your preferences.
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [Enter]: firefox.exe -p
Click Create Profile
Click Next
In the Enter new profile name dialog, type "Test"
Click Finish
Select Test and click Start Firefox
Use Firefox as normal. If the problem goes away, clearing your Firefox preferences, or migrating the important settings (bookmarks, etc) to a clean Profile may be a good permanent solution.
If the problem persists, switch back to your old profile by doing the following:
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [enter]:firefox.exe –p
Choose your old account (typically "default")
Click Start Firefox
Solution: Try a clean Windows profile (You must be an Administrator to complete this step. If your user account is not an admin type, skip to the next section for instructions on reporting a bug.) Creating a new Windows user will rule out any account-specific preferences that may be enabled on your system.
Create a user account in Vista
Create a user account in Windows 7
Use Flash Player normally. If the problem goes away, this indicates a compatibility problem, either with software you have installed or with preferences set on your account.
Reporting a bug:
Please file bugs at bugbase.adobe.com.
Choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product
Choose "Browser Integration" as the product area
Please provide as much information as possible with what you were doing before the crash and an exact URL where the crash occurred.
If available, please attach your Firefox crash logs to the bug using the Attachments field.
Show hidden files and folders. For more details, see the instructions for the operating system that you use: Vista and Windows 7.
Crash logs are located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\
Logs will be located in either the pending or submitted folder, depending on whether or not you submitted the crash report to Mozilla.
Last resort
Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved.
To revert to a previous version of Flash Player, please see this FAQ: How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.
Hopefully this FAQ helped you. Please let us know by taking a minute to fill out this simple survey.

Acrobat Reader X Disable Protection mode
Hi All,
i need some help with this freaky Acrobat Reader X version.
We have currently ~1000 computers with different old versions of AR (form 6 to 9)
We need to upgrade to 10.0.1 version all PC's
Will use SCCM for distributing the package.
OK... everything here seems good but ... a lot of problems and erros appear.
First we've installed on test group of 10 pc's the AR 10.0.0
all users start complainig that they can't open the pdf's from our file servers.
Solution - bring the patch 10.0.1
After that all users start complaining that they can't print - Windows Error - Acrobat need to be closed !
Solution - Protection mode disabled.
My questions :
1. How can I distribute both the Package of Acrobat and the update together with SCCM
All my tries and reaings failed !!!
i've try different methods and no success
msiexec /i /q \\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" PATCH=\\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\adbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
this do not work for me This is in SCCM program
2. How can i disable through Adobe Wizard the Protection Mode ?
I know how to do it manually but is not acceptable this way - i can't communicate with 1000 users to do this manually
I know how to disable it from registry with GPO , but i can't disable it before installation, also i can't disable it on all PC's after installation, because it will take several days to complete for all pc's and this "hole" of some days will stop the work of our end-users.
Any fresh ideia is wellcome. Also any help
Thankshey,
had similar issues with protection mode.
found we can do it 2 ways, 1. via registry entry, or 2. via an ADM.
sorry cannot remember the referenced posts for the fixes below...
we use the adm so that users cannot change it, and so that updates dont reset it.
note that the adm has only a few settings, and i dont know the code for any other settings.
1. - REG method:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
REM: Above line Disables Protected Mode on startup
2. - ADM Template method
please note, just copy and paste into a text file and rename as .adm.
remember that on the last section of the code below, change the "YOUR HEADER HERE" bit to what you want to use to find it in the GPO manager once you add the template.

I am running my application which requires JRE on Internet Explorer 10. Since the IE need to run in 64 bit mode, we have enabled the "Enhanced Protection Mode" in Security option of Internet Options in Advanced tab. But my application also opens
up PDF in the browser, when the page with PDF is invoked it displays "The webpage wants to run 'AcroPDF.dll'. If you trust this site, you can disable Enhanced Protection Mode for this site to run the control.(Disable)(Always Ignore)". And on
clicking any option the PDF is not displayed.
We would not be able to disable the Enhanced Protection Mode as the 64 Bit JRE would not be invoked for other part of the application.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Configure Adobe Reader to not use a Web Browser to open PDF documents... (see the Adobe.com for admx files to apply this setting by group policy) (
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/392489 )
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences>Internet>uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
It seems that Adobe have recently changed the location of that setting in Adobe Reader (at least on 11.0.4). They've now hidden it under Edit > Accessibility > Setup Assistant > Then on page 5 of 5, there's a tick box to toggle 'Display PDF
documents in the Web Browser'.
However, it doesn't work like it used to though, as it won't just open a PDF in Adobe Reader instead of the browser. It will instead ask to disable Enhanced Protected Mode to run acroPDF.dll.
And if you try disabling the Adobe PDF reader add-on in Manage Add-ons to try and force it to open in Reader, then when you visit a PDF link, you just get the same blank page (shown below) with the black crossed out circle in the top left, but without the
message bar at the bottom of the window. The only way to open the PDF is to either turn off Enhanced Protected Mode and allow acroPDF.dll to run or if there's an original link to the PDF, right click and select 'save-as'.
I think it's about time Adobe released an x64 PDF viewer... Or at least there should be an open/save dialogue box in IE.
If you've got Reader 11.0.4 installed, you can try it for yourself with this PDF link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf
(The below screenshot is with 'Display PDF documents in the Web Browser' UN-ticked in Adobe Reader settings, so it should open in Reader instead. But it doesn't. And with the Reader add-on disabled you get the same page, but without the
message at the bottom.) -
We are running IE8 as a RemoteApp on Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services "Terminal Server". It has Reader X installed.
When opening linked PDF document, it shows the protected mode "fail" dialog.
If, instead, explorer.exe is launched as remote app, and ie8 is started from explorer,
opening PDF files in protected mode works.
This is regardless of settings, 32/64 bitness, whether iexplore is launched as remote app or
in full RDP session using "alternate shell:". If explorer is not parent of the process subtree,
protected mode doesn't work.
What might be the issue, and is there a workaround that does not involve starting explorer.exe?This problem is fixed in the latest Reader X update 10.1.

How are permissions set for Reader XI Protected Mode?
Hi, all,
I've just installed Reader XI, and I immediately ran into an issue with Protected Mode "protecting" me from my workflow. I'm trying to access a .kml file on my desktop to import some annotations into a Reader Enabled PDF file. When I get the popup window saying that I don't have permissions to open this file, I head for the Reader security settings. Adobe kindly provided us with a UI to select files, folders, and hosts to treat as priviledged. I enter my desktop folder's path using the UI, and save. I restart Reader, expecting this setting to help. In fact, the security UI reports that my desktop folder is priviledged, which is good. The operation still fails, with the exact same error message. Is this the anticipated behavior, and if so, what is the privileged file, folder, and host for? I can't read or write files to my priviledged locations. Is this correct?
Thanks
Joe WhiteDoes it work if you change the file extension to .xml from .kml?

Having to turn Protected mode off to view Microsoft webpages
I'm in the process of building a corporate image and I have just found out that if we go to these types of webpages
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200580(EXCHG.150).aspx and Protected mode is turned on for Internet under security the active parts of the pages do not expand
or collapse (they stay static in their load arrangement). Turn Protected mode off and restart IE and they work.
I don't think it is only Protected Mode that has to be on but a combination of a couple of settings as I have another machine that doesn't do it with Protected Mode on.
The machines I have this fault with are 32 bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Does anyone else get this and know why it is happening as I would like to keep Protected Mode turned on but I can't if it produces this error.would like to keep Protected Mode turned on but I can't if it produces this error.
Try putting that host name in the Trusted sites zone. That would have the effect of having Protected Mode on automatically when going to those pages but otherwise leaving it off for pages that were just in the Internet zone by default.

Disable Protected Mode Reader 11
All,
I have found articles on Adobe's website about disabling protected mode -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
[HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11\Priviledged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
With both these settings turned on when you start up adobe and view edit > preferences it displays protected mode as being disabled however if I open task manager then open adobe reader I can see 1 instance of AcroRD32.exe - when I then open a PDF file via file > open browser to a PDF file I can see another 2 instances of AcroRD32.exe inside task manager. I thought this behavior was down to PM being enabled as it would spawn multiple instances of this to ensure it runs in sandboxing mode? The problem I have is we use an application inhouse which whitelist's only approved .dll's and .exe's and because Reader continues to spawn multiple instances of Reader even with these registry settings enabled I continue to hit issues getting Reader to work with my whitelist application.
Is there a way that when you open Reader it will only ever open 1 instance of AcroRD32.exe or is the behavior I am seeing by design even with Protected Mode disabled?

Adobe reader 11 cannot open in protected mode due to incompatibilty with your system configuration

Would you like to open Adobe reader with Protected Mode disabled is being displayed. When tried opening PDF files. Is there any way to isolate the cause without needing to disable the protected mode without needing to disable protected mode from Adobe reader settings.
To the best of my knowledge: no.

Disable Enhanced Protected Mode with IEAK, IE 11
Hello,
Enhanced protection mode is breaking Java. We build IE 11 packages with the IEAK, and I can't seem to find the setting in the IEAK to disable enhanced mode. Anyone have a solution?
ThanksHi,
To add, we could modify this Group policy preference to change EPM settings:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Advanced Page
Here you will find the preference "Turn on Enhanced Protected Mode". Double-click it to open its configuration page and select one of the following values for it:
Not configured means that individual users can turn the feature on or off individually and without restrictions.
Enabled means that it is turned on for all user accounts and that it cannot be turned off, not even by admins.
Disabled means that it is turned off or disabled for all user accounts, and that it cannot be enabled by users, not even admins
In addition, here is an update available to disable EPM by default, more information, please check here:
An update is available that disables Enhanced Protected Mode by default in Internet Explorer 11
Hope this may help
Best regards

Printing problem in Protected Mode - Adobe Reader X
Hello,
I have a PDF printer driver and Adobe Reader X. If I right click on my PDF file and select the print option, the generated PDF file will become ”gibberish”. I have checked the settings of the Adobe Reader X and I have found the “protected” mode option on by default. If I disable this option, the printed PDF file is printed correctly.
I have continued testing and have noticed when protected mode was enabled the adobe temporary fonts have not been generated into the temporary folder but when I disabled protected mode the adobe temporary fonts have been created.
How can I use the Adobe X in protected mode to print to a PDF printer driver so the fonts are generated correctly?
ThanksHi, thanks for your support.
I am using Black Ice PDF printer driver
Issue is not happening for all PDF files. It seems only which contain temporary fonts and when protected mode is turned on, and when right clicking on the document and selecting the "Print" option.
On physical printer I could print ok.
How can I share the file for you?
Thanks again. -
Reader X plugin integration with Windows Explorer 8 and Protected Mode
Hello
I am viewing pdfs with Reader 10.1.3 within ie8 on XP
I have a Reader plug-in (WordFinder.api) that works ok with Protected Mode disabled.
Unfortunately I have customers that require Protected Mode enabled and this stops the plugin working.

Thankyou
NickHi Fernando,
Here's a statement that hopefully helps or at least solves your mystery:
While Protected Mode can be disabled for PDFs viewed with the product, Adobe continues to protect you when 3rd party software invokes a Reader process; that is, Protected Mode sandboxing cannot be disabled for shell extensions. For example, when you use Windows Explorer to preview a PDF in the Preview Pane, it starts a Reader process to display the preview. In such cases, Task Manager shows that two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and that the operation is occurring with Protected Mode enabled.

EPM (Enhanced Protection Mode)
I am using IE9 (Win7--64-bit). Why am I being asked to Disable EPM in Internet Explorer? EPM was introduced in IE10 and 11!! I did disable Protection Mode in my settings, but each time I attempted to open a pdf document, the "...Disable EPM in
Internet Explorer..." message would surface. Any nuggets of wisdom? I do not want to use IE10 nor IE 11.
Thanks epHow are you opening the PDF file? Adobe Reader? What version? The latest?
That something you're running thinks you need to disable EPM may be a matter of that
something not getting what it expects/needs from your system.
I have no specific knowledge about what Adobe Reader expects/needs, but it's not hard to imagine their latest version of the Add-on doesn't get tested too much working with an outdated browser version. And much as you may love it, IE9 is outdated.
No one can blame you for not wanting to upgrade to a newer browser version, given that a lot of incompatibilities were introduced in IE10 and IE11, but software tech does march on whether we like it or not, and if you've chosen to hang back with old
software you need to understand that you might need to be conservative about what you upgrade. In a "big picture" sense, it won't be a viable way to continue forever. You'll simply see more and more niggling little things go wrong.
In this case it just sounds to me like a current Add-on doesn't work with an outdated browser - not hard to believe.

Setting Work Protect Mode in Portal
Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how to set up the Work Protect Mode in for the portal general settings.
Best Regards
SidHi
Click the personalize option in the masthead of the Portal default framework page. A popup opens and in the detailed navigation of the popup, the last option is work protect mode.
The four option in it are as follows:
Use default portal setting
Protect unsaved data (open page in new window)
Discard unsaved data (open page in same window)
Choose action in popup on unsaved
Save and refresh the browser for the change to take effect.
