Security and shared hosting

I'm writing a servlet that requires Bouncy Castle, and things work great. At least they work great locally. When I upload the servlet to my shared hosting account I'm having some trouble.
On the shared hosting account, I get a SecurtyException when I try to
Provider bcProvider = (Provider)(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
Security.addProvider(bcProvider);
Is there any way to get around this problem? I've looked at which providers are available to me, and it seems that it is just the standard Sun ones. Do I need to convince my service provider to also load the Bouncy Castle provider? Is it as simple as just loading it when Tomcat starts? Are there any references that say this is a safe thing to do so that they don't simply tell me they can't do it because of "security issues"?

Change the permissions to execute only by anyone other than you.

Difficulty syncing and sharing 3G/GPRS connection with NokiaN75 post 10.5.2

Prior to 10.5.2 (Feb. '08) I was easily able to use isync and share my Nokia's 3G/GPRS connection with the MacBook Pro. Whenever I needed to access the Internet or check my email, I could easily and simply establish the connection with the phone via Bluetooth and use the phone's access to the Internet. While not blazing fast, it was quicker than dial up and worked well when traveling and when you didn't want to pay $12.95 for 24 hour access...
Since 10.5.2 I believe, I have had difficulty syncing - I get error messages saying that the synchronization failed. I can no longer connect and share the 3G connection, - an error message about PPP...Can anyone suggest a work around or perhaps Apple's engineering can put in a fix in 10.5.3??? Downloading the isync plug in from Nokia had no benefit...Thank you in advance...

Actually I was answering Paul who does have an iMac but it doesn't matter one way or the other - the same answer applies. Odd that you have the same settings in security and sharing but it doesn't work in one direction. Are you sure you are using the right password? Have you attempted sharing with a different account on that computer?

Planning and Shared Services security disconnect.

Hi,
We have an intermittent problem. We are running 9.3.1 of Planning, Essbase, and Shared Services, etc. We have 6 planning applications on the same server. We use oracle as the database. The problem is at some point in time Planning stops getting updates made in Shared Services. When it happens you can go into the planning application, view the security on any object, and click "Add Access". The "Users and Groups" select box get's populated with "<None Available>". If you bounce the planning service and come back in the "Users and Groups" is populated as expected. It also dosen't affect all of the application or the same applications.
We have an admin group that makes security updates. Mainly just adding users to native groups. When things are working the changes/additions flow through to the planning tables. (HSP_USERSINGROUP,HSP_OBJECT). We gave this group a query to run that shows the access a specific user has in planning. If a user is added to a group in SS they then run the query to make sure the access is granted in planning. When the query doesn't bring back the information they think should be there we know we have the issue and start scheduling an outage to bounce planning.
Anyone else seen this behavior and is there another way to fix this besides bouncing planning?
Thanks for any responses.

This show multiple apps but you could knock it down.

Sharing calendar appears on another persons device - security and privacy risk

I really wanted to raise this as a bug, but couldn't find anywhere to do that.
On my wife's iPhone which is running iOS 7, I wanted to share her iCloud calendar to my Apple ID so that I could see her calendar from my iPhone (also iOS 7). Although I received the email telling me to accept the shared calendar, when I clicked the link it told me I was not authorized. I then discovered that my parents had received the sharing invite on their phone (iOS 4.2.1) which they accepted and could see her calendar.
This is a security and privacy risk because they are not connected to my iCloud account and it is not the account we specified to share with. Also we did not specify their account to share with. How can this happen? Their iPhone was never registered to my Apple ID. The only connection I can think of is that I believe my email address (which is also my Apple ID) is listed as their secondary email address or something.

Sorry just realised it was their iPad 3 that received the invite not their iPhone, and it would have been running iOS 6

Cisco ASA 5505 Cannot ping local traffic and local hosts cannot get out

I have, what I believe to be, a simple issue - I must be missing something.
Site to Site VPN with Cisco ASA's. VPN is up, and remote hosts can ping the inside int of ASA (10.51.253.209).
There is a PC (10.51.253.210) plugged into e0/1.
I know the PC is configured correctly with Windows firewall tuned off.
The PC cannot get to the ouside world, and the ASA cannot ping 10.51.253.210.
I have seen this before, and I deleted VLAN 1, recreated it, and I could ping the local host without issue.
Basically, the VPN is up and running but PC 10.51.253.210 cannot get out.
Any ideas? Sanitized Config is below. Thanks !

Hi Martin,
Which way you are trying. Sending traffic via site to site is not working or traffic which you generate to outside world is not working?
But you say ASA connected interface to PC itself is not pinging that is strange. But try setting up the specific rules for the outgoing connection and check. Instead of not having any ACL.
If it is outside world the you may need to check on the NAT rules which is not correct.
If it is site to site then you may need to check few other things.
Please do rate for the helpful posts.

Security And Cryptography

I'm so much new in Java Card programming and know alittle about security and cryptions in Javacards..
Would u please help me to start learning in these topics from basic, or introduce any refrences that learns basic security and encrypt & decrypt
thanks all..
Kind Regards
Hana

This feature is often implemented using a secure channel.
basically you have to authenticate with the card before being able to acess any data.
pros:
avoid internal encryption, which is costly
allows to authenticate and encrypt the real important thing : communication. The card internals are secure by design: there are light/frequency/temperature sensors to protect from tampering.
cons:
i don't know :)
how does it work? with a shared key and 3 ways handshake.
(card contains a key that was loaded previously)
1 host generates a random string H and sends it to the card.
2 card generates a random string C and sends enc(H) and enc(C)
host verifies that dec(enc(C))==C This way, we are sure the card knows the same key as us.
3 host sends enc(H)
card verifies that dec(enc(H))==H This way the card is sure the host knows the same key as it.
access to data is granted only if all these steps passes.
the crypto alg is generally 3DES with 16 bytes keys and 8 byte datablocks, this algo is managed in the card HARDware, so it's fast.
this sort of process is used in global platform. Read this doc for more information, this is a bible.
If you use the global platform mechanism, you will get excellent security with few code to write.
Note that there are many possibilities here, this one is only an example to help you get the idea.

Using AX as wireless router, how to set up w/ security and airtunes on XP

I previously had a Linksys wireless router. I just purchased an Airport express to use as the wireless router (and remove the Linksys router) as well as use the Airtunes functionality.
After some trial and error, I have been able to wireless connect my computer to the AX on it's own (the linksys router is now unplugged and out of the equation). I can connect to the internet fine on my PC (XP Pro SP2).
Trouble is, when I use the Network Setup Assistant, it shows the apple network listed, but it can't connect to it, no matter how many times I try, reboot my machine or reboot the AX. I've tried both the "setting up a new network" and "editing an existing network" option, and in each selection, after a few minutes of trying to connect to the network, I just get a failure message.
If I try and use the Admin utility, nothing shows up in the left-hand list window, and when I Press re-scan, still nothing shows (it doesn't even appear to scan).
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't find simple instructions on how to set up the AX as the only wireless router for a PC and set up security and Airtunes (I'm assuming enabling airtunes is done in these applications, as I haven't seen anything about that yet either).
Any ideas on how this is done with a PC? Much thanks!

I have found the 'DHCP Reservations' option on the AirPort Extreme to be buggy. I seem to remember it causing IP conflicts for some reason. I think what I remember is that if the computer with the reservation was off, and the DHCP server then handed out that IP to another DHCP client, then there would be a conflict when the reserved IP computer was turned back on. Maybe it was an issue in ealier versions of the AE or OS X as the case may be, and maybe it's been corrected, but I've never bothered using it agian since the method I describe below has always worked without fail. Also, I'm guessing DHCP Reservations would work fine if one manually enters IPs outside of the DHCP range but in the AE 'DHCP Reservation Setup Assistant' the IP options provided are within the DHCP range which to me makes no sense and increases the potential for IP conflicts.
Here's what I do to setup a mixed environment of static and dynamic IPs on my network. It works like a charm and does not require the DHCP server (beyond the distribution of dynamic IPs to hosts using DHCP).
For machines on my network that are accepting services from the public network, I set them up with static IPs using the 'Manually' option (System Preferences/Network/Ethernet/Configure IPv4). The settings for 'Router' IP address and 'DNS Server' IP address should both be set with your gateway/router LAN IP). Use an IP address below or above the DHCP range of adresses (in AE/Internet/DHCP/DHCP Beginning & Ending Address).
i.e. if my subnet is 10.0.1.1 and my DHCP range is 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.150, you could set the static IPs on your local hosts as 10.0.1.x where x = any number from 2 - 99 or from 151 - 200 as an example.
All other machines and devices that do not require static routing are setup as DHCP clients and get a dynamic IP from the AE. To me it's a simpler setup though it might take a little extra time to setup initially.

Windows Firewall doesn't work as advertised: "File and Sharing (SMB-in)" fails to restrict by user, computer or IP.

Hello,
I'm trying to understand whether I'm the one who's crazy, doing something wrong, or whether Windows Firewall was designed to be broken (and stay that way through Windows Server 2008 R2!)
When I go to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security from the Start Menu and edit the Inbound Rule for "File and Sharing (SMB-in)", the result I am seeking is that I can restrict access by both user and computer.
Upon enabling the rule, and selecting the "Allow the connection if it is secure" option (and nothing else), the firewall obliges by denying any and all attempts by other computers to map or browse files.
When I enter the name of one PC in the Computers tab under the "Allow connections from these computers", again the firewall obliges and the said PC can now browse and map to shares on that server. HOWEVER, now other computers on the network are able
to do the same, as long as they have any set of verifiable credentials (like a local user/admin or domain user/admin, etc). Trying to restrict by user or by IP yield almost identical results. Both those who I do and do not want are able to access
files on the said server.
My question is this: how is this firewall rule supposed to work? What do we have to do to actually make it accept and reject connections based on the criteria we have provided?
My goal is to only allow SMB access to a user IF they log in from a particular computer or group of computers.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Waqqas

I too find the same problem. I enable the firewall rule, put in Local Addresses that I want to be able to get through the firewall to access the File shares, but it opens the firewall so any ip address can access the shares. Anyone have an answer?
And No, Niko Bellic, checking the MSDN forum is NOT the answer!

Network and Sharing Centre problems (again)

I seem to be tearing my hair out once again with the Network List Service. Several months back the Network and Sharing centre stopped displaying or reporting the active networks, although I was connected with internet access. A consequence was most of the
Metro apps would not work as they thought the computer was off-line.
The problem seemed to be that the permissions were wrong in the Network List hierarchy and adding Full Control for my user account in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList' seemed to solve the problem.
Once again thought the Metro apps are not working reporting no internet connection and the Network and Sharing centre has the following message:
Unknown
The service to detect this status is disabled
More Information
When I select More Information I get a dialog asking if I want to turn on Network List Service, when I click "Turn this on' nothing happens.
Having looked in the Event Viewer, there are a large number of this entry, maybe it is related?
DCOM got error "1068" attempting to start the service netprofm with arguments "Unavailable" in order to run the server:
Network List Service is reported as running in Services.msc. and task manager.
I tried to check the permissions in the registry key as I did before but key was missing (i think). I tried switching to a local account on the computer from my Microsoft Live account but no change, although when I checked the registry, the NetworkList
key was there and the permissions were correct. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place but I was pretty sure it was missing...
Not sure where to go next with this..

Hi,
The Network and Sharing centre opens as normal but where you would normally see
'View your active networks' followed by the network or list of networks that you are connected to it just says:
Unknown (when view your active networks would be)
The service to detect this status is disabled
More Information
Clicking on 'More information' informs me that the Network List Service is not running and asks if I want to start it, clicking yes does nothing. The Network list Service is listed as running in Service.msc
I have tried a full virus scan and also ran a whole host of anti malware tools and the computer seems clean. I also tried sfc /scannow with no problems detected.
I restored and old clonezilla backup I had and it is fine now but made a system backup before I did. This is the second time this has happened and I would like to find a solution so I will revert back to the drive image with the issue and post a screen shot.

Help: Unable to set root servlet in a shared hosting environment

I'm using a shared hosting environment with GoDaddy and can't set the http://www.domain.com/ root servlet, i.e. the servlet that gets invoked when we go to the homepage.
I have the following web.xml file configured that currently works on my testing server:
     <servlet>
          <display-name>MainPage</display-name>
          <servlet-name>MainPage</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>com.somedomain.MainPage</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>MainPage</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/mainpage</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>mainpage</welcome-file>
     </welcome-file-list>The application is configured as the 'ROOT' application on my development server, but shared in the hosting environment. I wonder if some permissions are not given since it is shared hosting environment. The error message I get when visiting the page is:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at dev9.somedomain.com Port 80Unfortunately the server get's restarted once a day, so multiple suggestions would be much appreciated. I will upload them all at once.

Change the value of the url-pattern value of your servlet mapping in the deployment descriptor. Instead of using "/mainpage" as the value use "/index.html" or "/index.jsp".
Edited To Add - But this might not be right, because it will result in an endless loop. You would eventually want to display the home page and it would trigger the servlet which would forward to the home page, triggering the servlet and on and on...
I don't think I know the answer here...

On-line Back-up and Sharing Portal

I just got FIos and downloaded the free trial of Security Suite including the On-line Back up and Ffile sharing.
It was simple to set up the back up schedule etc., however I can't seem to find a simple way to sign in to the on-line portal to getto my on-line back up and sharing files. For some reason I can't bookmark the location and getting to it from Verizon sign onpage is almost impossible. If I click on "Manage Broad Band Essesntials" it simply brings me to a screen that shows me thebilling information for the program and has a download button for the Suite, Back up and Sharing. If I click Back up and Sharing itbrings me to the "shopping screen" and just shows me the various bundles and options I can purchase.
The only way I can get there is by clicking on "edit sub accounts" I have no idea why that works-I found that out after about an hourof trying to access my on line files-but that's the thing--it doesn't always work.
Isn't there a way I can ,make a short cut for it on my desktop or bookmark it somehow. It's kind of useless if it takes me all day to get to it. Also--for some reason I can't set up my home page either. I'd like to be able to just click on it from there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks you.

I'm not sure what you would be saving when you're talking about copy written work--but I'm only saving my own documents and pictures. I'll be saving my itunes library--but that belongs to me already--I bought it!
I had a computer crash last month. I thought I had everything saved and backed up--I was wrong. I don't want to go through that nonsenes again.I also don't want to have to worry about all of my document scans etc being burned in a fire or lost in a flood--god forbid--I know you're supposed to keep all of that stuff elsewhere, but who has that kind of time?
Anyway--the 986th time must have been the charm. I downloaded the back up and sharing software again..and...it's working!! A personal victory. I don't give up witout a fight, that's for sure

I want to develop a CF/Flex/Air online/offline application that uses Livecylcle Data Services (LCDS) to synchronize client (SQLlite) and server (MySQL) databases. I'm a coldfusion developer (MX6) and have done some Flash work (AS2). I'm going to learn Flex, Air and AS3.
I can only use shared hosting. I'm confused about the licensing of LCDS and if there is shared hosting that provides it. I Googled for Coldfusion/Flex/LCDS web hosting and the only one I found was way too expensive, e.g.$250/month.
But I just read that LCDS is included with Coldfusion 8. So does that mean web hosting with CF 8 (Enterprise) automatically includes LCDS?

It really depends on the hosting provider. The ColdFusion 8 install (Standard & Enterprise) have the ability to install a LCDS "trial" which after 30 days will revert to LCDS ES which is free, as long as the server that it's installed on has no more than 1 processor (up to 2 cores though I believe).
To more specifically answer your question, it really depends on whether the individual hosting provider has installed and offers this option to their clients. The use of LCDS with Flex required configuration of a data-management-config.xml file and certain ports may need to be opened up for rtmp vs. polling transfer methods. I'm not sure exactly how this would work given a shared hosting environment and if you could sandbox the configurations per client.
The sure way to get this setup (and the method I've used for the past few years) is to get yourself a dedicated box (which can be had for less than 100 dollars, especially given the processor limitation on the LCDS licensing) and get yourself a license for CF8 while they're still available. CF9 will still support LCDS integration, but the install isn't seamless like it is with CF8. During the install process for CF8 you can choose to install LCDS and after a bit of configuration you're all set.

Error from EAS - "refreshing security from Shared Services failed"

Hi,
I was using Native only security in HSS for Essbase 11.1.1.3 and EAS allowed me to Refresh security from Shared Services. (Essbase security was already externalized to HSS.)
However, after I added "MS Active Directory", and provisioned a MSAD user to a native Planning group, EAS errors out with "refreshing security from Shared Services failed" .
I checked Essbase security and that MSAD user is not added to Essbase.
From Essbase Log I see:
Essbase failed to get roles list for [ESB:Analytic Servers:servername:1] from Shared Services Server with Error [32:1062:Failed to connect to the user directory [ HSS'sMSADname].
I then tried to remove MSAD from our H Shared Services and see if this problem goes away. However, MSAD still shows on the left panel menu in H Shared Services. How can I get rid of MSAD?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Are you sure you have removed it from shared services, you may have just disabled it.
You must restart the shared services application server to apply any changes made.

WPA security and iBook

I have searched and searched and read and read and called Buffalo and cannot solve this problem. Hope someone can help.
I have set up a Buffalo Airstation (MHR-G54S) with my Macbook and it works just great wirelessly with WPA-PSK (AES) security enabled. However, I cannot get an iBook 500 dual USB with regualr airport card to connect to the network - the iBook "sees " the network but when I try to connect I get the message
"there was an error joining the Airport network etc"
The iBook has OS 10.3.9 and all system updates including Airport 4.2.
Am I trying to do something that is not possible with the iBook?
I have also tried to set up WEP security and that doesn't work with the Macbook or iBook but I am not sure I really understand how to set up the passwords for that even after reading the apple KB documents and posts about it.

WPA-PSK (AES) security enabled.
"WPA Personal" on the Mac corresponds to plain WPA, with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption, on non-Apple wireless routers.
