Security level

In hyperion where do we assign secutiry for users, and also in reporting

Hi,
1. I am assuming that you are interested to know the security within essbase.Here, If your essbase is in stand alone ( i.e shared services is not controlling your user management) , then you can see "security " right below "applications" within EAS console.
2. Else, shared services is the place ,where you assign appropriate roles as a part of provisioning.

ASA 5505 Interface Security Level Question

I am wondering if someone can shed some light on this for me. I have a new ASA 5505 with a somewhat simple config. I want to set up a guest VLAN on it for a guest wireless connection.
I set up the ASA with the VLAN, made a trunk port, set up DHCP (on the ASA) on the guest VLAN, configured NAT, etc. Everything seem to be working with that. Guests are getting address on the correct subnet, etc.
The only issue I have is that the Guest VLAN (192.168.22.0) can get to the secure (VLAN1 - 172.16.0.0). I set up the guest VLAN (VLAN 5) with a security level of 10, the secure with a level of 100. I figured that would be enough. To stop the guest from accessing the secure, I had to throw on an ACL (access-list Guest-VLAN_access_in line 1 extended deny ip any 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0)
Can someone show me what I did wrong?
Thank you for any help!
To create the VLAN, I did the following:
int vlan5
nameif Guest-VLAN
security-level 10
ip address 192.168.22.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
int Ethernet0/1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1 5
switchport trunk native vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
no shutdown
below is the whole config.
Result of the command: "sho run"

Hi,
To my understanding they should not be able to connect to the more secure network IF you DONT have an interface ACL configured.
One very important thing to notice and which I think is the most likely reason this happened is the fact that as soon as you attach an interface ACL to an interface then the "security-level" looses its meaning. The "security-level" has meaning as long as the interface is without an ACL. This makes the "security-level" only usable in very simple setups.
What I think happend is that you have "permit ip any any" ACL on the interface that allowed all the traffic.
Your option is to either remove the interface ACL completely or have the ACL configured like you have now. I mean first block traffic to your secure LAN and then allow all other traffic which would allow the traffic to Internet
Hope this helps
Please do remember to mark a reply as the correct answer if it answered your question.
Feel free to ask more if needed.

The security level is set to High

Windows 2008R2 terminal Server
Office 2013
Adobe Acrobat XI update 9
When trying to create a PDF from a word document (have not tried other files yet), Adobe hangs for about 2 mins and then gives the following message
The Security Level is set to High
Please run the application which created this document, in the "Security Warning" dialog select the check box "Always trust macros from this source" and enable macro's created by Adobe Systems inc
No 1. There is absolutely no need for an apostrophe in the second instance of the word macros
Have deployed the Adobe Acrobat Administrative template and enabled the following setting
'Automatically Trust Sites for Win OS Security Zones' (Elevates the trusted sites list in Internet Explorer to privileged locations so that they may bypass enhanced security restrictions. When enabled, the trust list is a union of IE's trust list and Acrobat's privileged locations list. GUI mapping: Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Automatically trust sites for my Win OS security zones)
- not a fix
Have exported every digital signature from the pdf office dlls and imported to the computer certificate store - not a fix
Have disabled every office macro and security setting - not a fix
Does not matter if the file being converted is on a UNC path, mapped drive, or local drive
Have added all file locations containing office docs to trusted folders in Word and Adobe - not a fix
R-Click context menus for combining and conversion work fine however I understand that this uses the Adobe PDF Printer and not the office addons
Opening a file in Word and converting to a PDF using the Addon is fine as is printing to the PDF Printer
This issue only occurs from within the Adobe Acrobat Application 'Create file from PDF' and currently only seems to affect Office documents
I cannot see how to give Adobe any more trust

Solved
I was running Office in a 'RunVirtual' environment. This man explains it best
http://ppe.blogs.technet.com/b/gladiatormsft/archive/2014/02/05/app-v-5-on-run-virtual-rds -run-virtual-virtualizable-ext…
Essentially Office and Acrobat are installed Natively however all Office Apps are configured to run in a Virtual environment so that Office Addins which are true AppV applications can be linked into Office.
My 'Empty' 'RunVirtual Office package did not have 'Com Integration' enabled
Adobe Acrobat makes use of a Com Addin for Office, so Office was unable to expose that to Adobe Acrobat until the 'Empty' 'RunVirtual Office package was updated accordingly

ORA-20100: AppDomain could not be created for the specified security level

We recently updated our development environment to Visual Studio 2010. We have previously deployed (with success) .Net stored procedures from Visual Studio 2005 to our Oracle 10gR2 database. I am currently trying to configure a local instance (called local) of Oracle 10gR2 database to test deployment of .Net stored procedures to Oracle 10gR2 via Visual studio 2010 and ODT version 11.2.0.1.2. I have built the demo from the ode developer guide and gotten as far as deploying it but executing the stored procedures from VS 2010 or SQL*Plus produces the following error...
ORA-20100: AppDomain could not be created for the specified security level
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_CLR", line 152
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.GETDEPTNO", line 7
Here is what I have done.
(Server)
1. Installed oracle 10gR2 with ODE.Net
2. Installed Oracle 10gR2 patch set 22
3. Installed ODE upgrade from Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET with Oracle 10g Release 2 ODAC 10.2.0.2.21
(Client)
4. Installed Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET with Oracle 10g Release 2 ODAC 10.2.0.2.21 (In new client home).
5. Installed patch set 22 on 10g client home.
6. Installed Oracle 11g Release 2 ODAC 11.2.0.1.2 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio(in new 11g client home, only for VS 2010)
I have made some minor changes (GAC) etc. per the following threads...
ODE.NET 11.1.0.7.20 on 10g Database?!
Re: Error: System.TypeInitializationException
The database appears to be fully functional via TOAD - SQL plus etc. I can't find much on this error but it appears Oracle needs some permissions to launch an ASP.Net application that it does not have. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, don't hesitate to ask for additional details.

The KB article is almost what we have apart from theitalic underlined
part
Consider the following scenario:
You use a domain administrator account to log on to a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
You use the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in to connect to a domain controller.
You open the Properties dialog box of a user account.
The user account has sole access to a shared folder path that cannot be accessed by the administrator account.
You set the Remote Desktop Services Home Folderattribute to the shared folder path.
NoteThis attribute is located on the
Remote Desktop Services Profiletab.
You click Apply or OK.
In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found.
Note If you click Apply or OK again, no error message is returned. However, the setting is not saved.
I think the important bit is
The user account has sole access to a shared folder path that cannot be accessed by the administrator account.
We manually create the shares on our NAS and then just want to enter the path in the profile tab, I suppose the question is how to we stop it trying to create the shares ?

What am I doing wrong?

1. You're allowing unfiltered user input into your SQL query.
I could do
some horrible damage to your system.
2. You have SELECT * in your query.
3. You're doing something that doesn't make any sense. Why
add a constant
to the security level just to subtract it again when you
actually want to
use it? You're just making more work for yourself. There is
no benefit
there.

Setting security level of infopath files

Hi,
At work i have designed an Infopath file and it has some code behind it which will be executed when a memo button is clicked. But when i try to preview it by hitting F5 in keyboard it shows error , so i checked the security level and it was set to auto.
When i changed it to Full Trust, it is working fine. Is it really due to the Full Trust and is there any other way we can make it work by setting the security as full trust.
Thanks in Advance
Arjun Menon U.K

Hi,
Did you add Visual Studio code behind it? In that case you need to create a certificate for your file. This certificate should also be on the receving server in order to create a secure setting as full trust. One of the reasons I always try to avoid
coding in InfoPath to much hassle on the server side.

Hi,
Its success really depends on the rest of the network that I dont know about.
If you hosts that you are using to PING/ICMP through the ASA are connected to the same network as the ASAs interface then you will have to make sure that the hosts both have routes towards the other network.
Also if on the "outside" of the ASA there are additional networking devices then you have to configure default route on the ASA also as mentioned in the other discussion.
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
The above replys ACL was just an example of the configuration format. If you wanted to allow ICMP then you would also have to allow ICMP
access-list OUTSIDE-IN permit icmp 192.168.254.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 255.255.248.0 echo
I dont see anything else wrong with the ASA configuration related to ICMP other than possibly the lacking of default route and allowing the ICMP from the "outside" with the ACL "OUTSIDE-IN".
Go through the network setup from one host to the other. On each step confirm that that device has route towards both of the networks. Otherwise the devices will naturally not be able to forward the ICMP messages from end to end.

SOAP Adapter with Security Levels - HTTP & HTTPS

We have a successfully working interface scenario where SAP XI is hosting a web service and the partner systems calling it using SOAP Adapter URL http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:service:channel with Security Level HTTP on the SOAP Sender Communication channel.
Going forward, for other similar interfaces (SAP XI hosting Web Service and partner systems calling it), we would like to use HTTPS and/or certificates.
If we enable HTTPS on XI J2EE server as per the guide How to configure the [SAP J2EE Engine for using SSL - Notes - PDF|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/964f67ec-0701-0010-bd88-f995abf4e1fc]....
can partner systems still use the URL http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:service:channel or should they switch to https://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:service:channel?
can we continue to have the existing interface working using HTTP Security Level i.e. partners not having to send the certificate with each message?
If we use HTTPS security level, is it mandatory for the partner system need to send the certificate? Is it possible to have an HTTPS scenario w/o certificates?
What is the difference between Security Levels 'HTTPS Without Client Authentication' & 'HTTPS with Client Authentication'?
I appreciate your inputs on this.
thx in adv
praveen
PS: We are currently on SAP PI 7.0 SP17

Hi Praveen,
There is no need to change the interface and It is manditory for the partners to send certificates in order to validate each other. Use the https in url.
HTTPS With Client authentication:
The HTTPS client identifies itself with a certificate that is to be verified by the server. To validate the HTTPS clientu2019s certificate, the HTTPS server must have a corresponding CA certificate that validates this certificate. After validation of the clientu2019s certificate, the server maps the certificate to an actual system user executing the HTTP request.

Use of Security Level on ASA with ACLs

Hi,
On my configuration, I'm using extended on the inbound of my 3 interfaces (inside,dmz,outside). I was wondering if there I should remove the security levels or if they are of any use since I have ACL in place already.

Hi,
After you have attached an ACL inbound to an interface it controls the traffic for networks behind that interface. So security-levels dont have a major role anymore.
Though you should consider that there are still situations where the "security-level" might come into the picture.
If you have identical "security-level" interfaces and you want to allow traffic between them then ACLs wont be enough but you also need to use the "same-security-traffic permit " format command to allow the traffic.
Atleast in software 8.2 there is still some limitations regarding NAT depending on the "security-level" of the source and destination of the interface. I think for example you need to do Dynamic NAT/PAT between interfaces you cant do this from lower to higher direction.
Best bet is to refer to your current software level Cisco documents. Both the Command Reference and Configuration Guide PDFs found online provide good information on these commands
Please rate if the information was helpfull and/or ask more questions if needed

Changing Default Security Levels

I have several Windows 7 Enterprise machines that have already been deployed via image and need to lower the security settings for use on internal web based applications.
Is there an easy way to manipulate the configuration (a file) so that I may simply make the changes by overwriting the current configuration settings instead of, having to go to each device, opening the Java console, and changing the security settings that way?
I have attempted to login as the machine administration, make the changes on the Java console with the hopes this configuration would have migrated to all user profiles that log into the PC. Is there a "public profile" configuration file I can change and if so, what should I do.
Thank you in advance for the assistance

Create a "deployment.properties" file with the line "deployment.security.level=HIGH" (or what ever level you need that is supported by your version of Java) and save it in "C:/Windows/Sun/Java/Deployment/" (assuming windows client device).

Security Level Medium is not working for PO initial version

Hi ,
    We have maintained security level as Medium in Purchaser user personalization. In order to restart the PO SAVED event workflow only there is a value changed while the PO is awaiting for approval.. Here is the scenario and how the start condition maintained for PO - WS 14000145 - SAVED event.
Start condition maintained for event SAVED for WF template WS14000145 as below
&_EVT_OBJECT.POTotalValue& GE 0.00
Security level(BBP_WFL_SECURITY) maintained as Medium in personalization of SU01.
my requirement is when the PO create first time ( Initial Version ) and route for approval. Three level approval is determined for the PO and first approval approved. while the PO is awainiting for second level of approval the purchaser changed the quantity. based on above start condition my expectation is , the PO has to restart and route from beginning. but that is not happening. when i see the approval preview the approval path shows the workitem is waiting in second level of approval.
I tried the below start conditions also
&_EVT_OBJECT.SimpleListOfChanges&CE TOTAL_VAL, but no result..
What is the Medium functionality?
here is the help i found from help.sap.com, but i am not clear about this..
MEDIUM It is possible to change the document The system evaluates the workflow start conditions and starts the approval workflow again if the change necessitates a new approval If this is not the case, the approval workflow continues.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
The security level works differently for PO's.
In the function 'BBP_PDH_WFL_CHECK_RESTART is a desription how the
system should work:
The workflow will be RESTARTED in the following cases:
a) One has a standard workflow with the usual type of approval (not a
   'back&forth' one). It will always be restarted independent on the
   authorization levels of the user and whether the user is a PO
   creator or not;
b) One has the 'back&forth' type of approval but the user reordering
   the PO is not the PO creator (this could be another purchaser from
   the same purchasing group);
c) It is the 'back&forth' type of approval and the user reordering the
   PO is the PO creator but he has the authorization levels that are
   less then 2, i.e '0'(not defined') or '1' (no changes allowed);
That means the security level must be below '2' to force a restart.
I hope that this clarifies how the system is working.
Kind regards,
Siobhan

Port forwarding & security level

[was orig sent to fios internetforum in error- I'm on a dsl line]
I've set up port forwarding for various services (mIRC, ftp, etc) on my Versalink gateway (Westell 327W router/modem). Ports are OK, Still, I can't access these when my firewall is set to "Typical Security" - I have to go down to Minimum for anything to get through. Is this the way it's supposed to work? I thought that port forwarding opened my selected ports in the firewall without compromising security otherwise. If I have to choose min. security, what's the point of port forwarding? Thanks for any feedback - ed

At this time I can't tell you about the Security Level setting, but I can answer this question

Ms word95 to pdf - "security level too high"?

I'm a brand new user of Acrobat 9.0 (on XP system) - all kinds of problems (including major file crash and loss during 9.0 installation - more on that later). for now, I need to get started immediately on converting some MS Word doc files to pdfs - What I get from 9.0 is the message that "The Security Level is Too High". If it's referring to the MS word docs, they are unprotected (I've checked and tried several - Word shows they are not protected, and as far as I know, never have been). They were originally created on a mac with macWord - but were not protected and converted to windows with MacDrive7. They show in MS Word in good condition and unprotected. What do I need to do to get them into acrobat and into pdf format? I've also check the knowledge base here and elswhere without any clues except one chap who seemed to be having similar problems (along with serious crashes) using 8.1. Other than that, I'm mistified.
I've also tried using the context menu 'covert to pdf' method and also creating a new pdf (blank) and inserting them. In both cases the security message aborted the process. Need to do this right away. I'm not technically skilled, so if someone can give me some clear instructions I'd be grateful. - red

Thank you all for responding so quickly. First, I'll mention the serious message and a warning. DO NOT INSTALL ACROBAT 9.0 IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH WORD 7.0 (or any old(er) MS Word version before 2k). The consequences are ghastly, including the deletion of half or more of your program files (including your email clients, av software and other primary programs), the corruption of your browser, registry (including restore points) and other not so nice events - worse than most bad viruses. That's a problem Adobe and I will probably be taking a look at next week. Mean time, they indicate that they are going to add the matter to their KB and elswhere so that users have a heads-up on the issue.
As for the conversion problem from Word 7.0 .doc to .pdf - Bill, you just about nailed it. It was, indeed, a problem that could be circumvented by going to the printer dialog and setting the printer to 'Adobe pdf file' (something a novice wouldn't think of, nor line tech-support for that matter.). As far as Word/pdf 'printer' is concerned you're just printing the file. However, as I understand things, that's how Adobe attaches the Word documents - It does it through the printer interface. Once that setting is changed to 'Adobe pdf printer' the file is simply picked from the print queue (or before) and loaded into A9. Save it from A9, and the job is done. So, Bill, If Adobe hadn't found the answer, I do believe you would have been telling me exactly how to do it after a few more posts. The credit, though, goes to Neo Johnson, tech-support supervisor in New Delhi. The last two days (almost 9 hours of phone time) were spent with various tech-support agents at Adobe; but, he was the one who finely thought about the interaction between A9 and Word and figured it out.
Ok -that's the brief. The rest is a little history/background for whomever is interested (skip, otherwise - not important). The problem begins with failure to install - first, setup can't find the msi file - it was there, and I browsed it, so that was solved. Then 'invalid licensing - process stopped' messages appear. That was a little tougher and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html and some other articles had me doing repair, reinstall, and other complex (for me) procedures. One of the problems was that flexnet had failed to install, which was a stumper for me (I couldn't find it to download separately - barely knew what it was/did - and finally understood that Adobe was supposed to install it. After that, I did several uninstalls, to no effect. Finally I did a few moderate and then deep uninstalls (with Revo) and several reinstalls. Things got progressively worse. On one reboot, my desktop came up and all the program icons were broken links. I examined targets and such and then went to my 'program files' directory. To my horror, nearly all my primary program (including thunderbird email client, AVG etc.) files had disappeared. The folders were simply empty. Firefox still loaded, but the tabs were non functional. Several checks and some light disc analysis indicated the files vanished. No trace. However, my document folders and data were intact (also backed-up). I went to restore and found that all the old restore points (including the one's Revo sets before uninstalling) were gone. If it had been a virus, it couldn't have done a better job at making a mess of things. At that point, I knew the registry had been toasted and I was facing a complete OS reinstall. Instead, I opted for reinstalling some of the critical programs (and because the document files appeared to be intact). After the first few - thunderbird, firefox etc. - I was relieve to find that they were picking up on the old settings and restoring themselves to their previous states. I still have a number of these to do - and a few must be re-configured. But that's going ok.
Then the saga of Adobe, several phone calls; several times the phone connection was cut off and I had to call again and start over from the beginning with a new person. The matter always had to be esculated to the next tier - more time, more cues, no solutions. They went over the firefox settings, the adobe settings. They were puzzled about the broken links. Attempts to open doc files (after a fresh install of winword) were resulting in 'invalid win32 application'. All kinds of problems made progress difficult. We cleared up the 'invalid....' messages by reparing the file associations (in XP folder options) and then opening the docs in Word and resaving them as something else. It was a labor. Finally, there was simply no answer except, like the post here, Word 7 is simply too old and uses different scripting. The only solution was to either buy (ugh, ouch!) Word 2007 (and hope that it would load them and save them in A9 useable form) or, try installing Word2k (which I have) and processing them through that; and, then using Acrobat 8.x to load those and save the pdfs for A9 to use. However, when Adobe said they could not provide me with a free (even trial) version of 8.x to do the job - licensing problems etc. -- It seemed like a really ugly solution. Finally, I'm begging Adobe to give me a free copy of 8.x and in steps Neo. He can't provide the free copy, but he asks a few questions himself. We go to Adobe and reset some of the security settings (something other agents didn't know or think of). No dice - still can't load the docs. But then he says, Open up Word. Ok. load the file and then hit 'print' - ok, the print dialog comes up. 'Now,' he says, 'open the properties and see what printers are listed.' Ok I do that, and I'll be... 'Adobe pdf printer' is among them. "Just what I thought," he said, Adobe was hooking up with word, but didn't have its printer to attach." So we set 'Adobe pdf' as the printer and lo and behold, the docs loaded into Adobe as pdfs. End of that story. (so bill, you had it too - wish you had answered the phone in the first place!)
Clean up. So, there's a few simple solutions, I think (though i'm no techie and you folks will certainly have better ideas). First, I don't buy the story that early versions of Word are either 1) unsupported by MS or, 2) nobody uses them, as valid reasons why not to fix the problem of the "unloadable" docs. I figure there are at least a couple of aproaches and easy patches that will correct the matter. One is from the Word side - to is to set the current printer setting to use 'Adobe printer', get the file and then reset the printer back to what it was - default. The other is to patch A9 to detect legacy source applications and bypass things that would normally make the file unloadable, unless, of course, they were actually protected or, read only files. In that case, Adobe could simply inform the user to 'unprotect' them, the same as it now does with its 'Security Setting too High' message for later versions. I'm sure there are even better ways. But, that would fix things as far as file loading and conversion.
As to the installation and crash problems - those need to be addressed. Even if its only a few dozen people that might have the same problem, it needs 1) to be given as a noticable warning and keyword in Adobe documents (which now simply indicate that it can process .doc files); 2) it needs to be examined to insure systems that have Word 7.x or older can install without problem, and certainly without harming their system. Adobe has a good reputation and does a good job. That's worth protecting with all customers, even if Marketing can't quite see why and the bean counters can't find much profit in the task. It's what I expect from professionals and to do less certainly subtracts from Adobe's standing. That should be worth a great deal, I would imagine.
Anyway, thanks folks - got to get some sleept, and then get those pdfs done and sent to people who are waiting for them. - best to you all, red.

NOKIA 2730c - Security Level

I've just bought this phone. I've never used a Nokia, and so I am not familiar with the interface. I've had a play around though and have figured out most of it. Regarding security, I have done the following:
- Reset PIN and phone now asks for it at start-up;
- Reset security code;
- Turned on automatic keyguard, but left it so it does not ask for security code.
I'm unsure though about the Security Level setting (Menu>Settings>Security>Security_Level).
It gives 2 options, Memory or Phone. If someone could explain what this setting is for, it would be much appreciated.
Is it also possible to lock the phone to only use my sim?
Regarding the PIN at start-up, is it attached to the sim or the phone? In other words, if I change the sim, will the phone still ask for and require the same PIN?
Thank you in advance for any response. : )

here is answer from nokia web site (i underline answer)
(http://www.nokia.co.uk/support/product-support/2720-fold/faq#08 )
How do I set the security level on my Nokia device?
Select Menu > Settings > Security (or Security settings) > Security level. Enter your security code and select OK.
Select Phone, and the phone will request the security code whenever a new Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is inserted into the phone.
Select Memory, and the phone will request the security code when the SIM card memory is selected and you want to change the memory in use.
hope this helps
cheers!

Kernel security level changes on its OWN?

Hi...
using OS 10.3.9 on a G4 dual 533mhz with a gig of ram. It is wired into an Airport Extreme that firewalls for a wireless laptop as well, yes it is set encrypted and unauthorized NIC card addresses are excluded in the Airport Administration software...
I dont have Little Snitch set to run automatically, but it appears as having launched before the last kernel panic. (so says Crashreporter_
The kernel panic happened between the time this computer was put in user log in window Sleep Mode yesterday and when I woke it up today to log into one of the user accounts (I am the only one to have maintenance/Full Admin. access)
The typical user log in screen with the names was up, but a kernel panic had overlaid the visual... parts that made me perk up was the last line said it was waiting for debugging to occur... the NIC address of the network card was shown, and the IP number that is set in the Network panel...
I checked through Onyx into the System log Crashreporter and found the stream of log info during the 'wake up' mode:
Jan 22 22:28:16 localhost init: kernel security level changed from 0 to 1
Jan 22 22:28:16 localhost loginwindow[205]: Sent launch request message to DirectoryService mach_init port
I have never seen a kernel security change in any of the logs in the past... No new user accounts were made, and no new levels of access have been assigned to existing users...
What does this mean, a level 1 setting of a kernel? Should I Admin Panic along with the kernel?

Basically, the change means that the kernel is going from insecure to secure mode, which prevents the sappnd and schg flags from being turned off. More information is available on this page.

Change Security Level by the program.

Hello folks.
I'm trying on Lookout 6.0.2 to return to the lowest security level 30 minutes later after someone entered a high level security login. I do not want that operators have access inside the computer if the supervisor or the technical person in charge forgot to logoff and went home.
I have tried several ways, but it seems to me that I must prepare Lookout for this, or as of a setting has to be changed/set somewhere to allow this.
Any ideas?
Season greetings.
Rodolfo Lopez

Anyone can suggest any tips to check the issue out?
