Security settings STILL failing

i've posted about this many times with increasing anger. i've only had one response, altho repeatedly, which told me (also repeatedly) a "fix" that (also repeatedly) never worked.
i am getting SICK of skype claiming to have decent security measures, that can be opted into by clicking a few easy buttons WHICH DON'T WORK. i am still getting random messages from random strangers despite having the option clicked that only known contacts can contact me.
is there even anyone from skype on this stupid forum? if so they are apparently ignoring this problem which i know from previous posts others have also had.
so if anyone from skype is here, please listen, and take note: you, as a company CAN NOT promise security settings if they repeatedly and apparently unfixably fail. it's really bad company policy. either fix it, or don't promise it.
i'm seriously thinking i'm gonna just give up on skype because it's driving me up the **bleep** wall. it's a useful service to talk to friends but not at the expense of getting stupid chat up lines from random morons WHO AREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO SEE ME!!!!
PLEASE sort this out. and if i have one more reply from theuberoverlord with an apparently foolproof fix that DOESN'T WORK AND NEVER HAS, i will scream. got that?

That screenshot cannot answer the question regarding your server's security.
Sure, there are elements of security which are answered by the authentication methods supported, but thats a fraction of the number of issues you need to consider.
For example, disabling LOGIN and PLAIN authentication is a start, but even Kerberos doesn't insulate you from a dictionary attack, where an attacker just tries combinations of usernames/passwords and hopes to get lucky.
Then there's the question of what other protocols you're running. Securing one doesn't help if you leave a dozen others insecure.

I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great. i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive. My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes. I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV
I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.

Internet Explorer Security Settings

Hello,
We are using IE security related Group policies in our environment. We have a site where users are unable to download html pages from all of the websites. We have already tried adding these websites to the Trusted zones. However, the issue still persists.
Users get an error bar on the top of IE page. The error states "An add-on for this website failed to run. Check the security settings in Internet Options for potential conflicts". We have a different OU where this GPO is not applied and we do not
face this issue there.
Can anyone suggest what specific setting do i need to look for in gpresult from working and non-working computer. Please find the error screenshot attached.
Regards,
Farid Ansari

Hi,
My guess would be you need to update your Adobe and shockwave flash...
on a workstation go
Start>Control Panel>Flash 32, click the links to check for updates.
or from IE
Tools>Manage Addons>Show All Addons... located it in the list to see its version... you should have both 32bit and 64 bit versions installed.
If possible please provide the address of any website you are having problems with your questions. That way we can visit the site and see what plugins the site requires to work as designed.
Regards.

How can I get a downloaded application to run when security settings won't allow it?

I am trying to run an application today that I downloaded from Safari. I run this every single business day by control - clicking to open it in Finder. Today it won't allow me to open it all because of my security settings. When I temporarily remove my security settings it still will not let me open it. How can I run an application every time, when I want to run it, regardless of my security settings?
I am using Safari, Mavericks, and MacBook Pro.

Your control is allowing the app to run or not. I'm not sure what other type of control you could possibly mean since any app, once running, does whatever it does; you can't control any app past that point.
If you prefer not to disable the settings in the System Preferences, then right click on the app and choose Open. That will allow that app to run while still leaving the basic security feature on. You only need to do this once. The app will be assumed as trusted after that.

LMS 3.2.1 on Solaris 10 - Setup Center / System and Security Settings Empty

Hi All,
When I get to the LMS Setup Center / System Settings option I can a screen that shows no options. The same happens when I try the Security Settings option.
I've attached a capture of the screen.
Thanks,
Jose Ribeiro

We're starting to see more and more users install on Oracle-branded Solaris. There is a workaround to installing on newer Solaris. You can modify /etc/release, and remove the word "Oracle" from the release name. Install LMS, then restore the original file. We're still trying to get an official word from development as to what our Solaris support plans are.

The BEx Analyzer cannot generate VBA code due to the security settings

Hello experts,
when I try to open a query in BEx Analyser I get this error message for each Item of the Query:
Diagnosis
The BEx Analyzer cannot generate VBA code due to the security settings.
System Response
VBA code is not generated.
Procedure
Choose Tools -> Macro -> Security.
On the Trusted Publishers tab page, select Trust access to Visual Basic project.
Choose OK.
Close the BEx Analyzer and continue working as before.
Access to Visual Basic project is only needed when generating VBA code.
This only takes place in design mode or when 3.x workbooks are upgraded.
Of course I did exactly what was recommanded in the "procedure-section" of this error message. But BEx ist still not working!

Hello experts,
I am an additional person interested in the way this issue was solved.
I confirm that the issue is coming from the SP2 of Microsoft Office (I have another environnement without the SP2 and everything works well), and I am in a situation where I can't remove the update.

WPA/WPA2 secured wireless connection fails for two minurtes for every hour of use.

Hello.
I have a brand new ThinkPad T500 2055-A16 with Windows Vista Business. I have a WiFi connection problem. It is not a signal strength problem, as it doesn't work even if I place the computer right next to the access point with no other wireless equipment near by.
None of my other computers experience this problem. I even bought another ThinkPad T500 2055-A16 at the same time as this one, and that does not have the problem either. The problem is when I connect to a network using WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK. The connection works fine for half an hour, an hour or two hours, but then without warning, the connection is lost and it is not possible to reconnect for half a minute, a minute or two minutes. The exact times vary. When I switch the network to use WEP or no encryption, everything works fine. But I don't like to use no encryption and I cannot use WEP because I have other computers in my home which does not support WEP.
I had this problem right from the beginning the first time I used the computer. I have tried many things like disabling power management or IPv6 and other things suggested by my ISP, but it did not change anything, so I switched them back to their default value. I have also tried to update the driver for the Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN card, but that didn't help the problem. The problem became slightly less annoying when I uninstalled Access Connections, because Vista would then reconnect as soon as it could, whereas I in Access Connections would have to continuously press the connect button until it succeeded. But the problem is still a real pain.
Some pieces from the Windows Event Viewer, which I think looks interesting (these occur regularly at exactly the same timestamps as when the connection is lost):
Profile match: Success
Pre-Association: Success
Association: Success
Security and Authentication: Fail
0x00048005 and 0x0003800b
Result of diagnosis: Problem found
Issue referred to: L2Sec Helper Class
I also see the following message on my access point's log, which also occur at exactly the times when the connection is lost:
1x:00216b4d7ee6:logout
(The number match the MAC address of my computer)
The only other message which is logged on my Access Point when all log options are enabled is "Time initialized by NTP server".
How can I solve this problem so that I can have undisrupted wireless Internet access?

Edit: Actually my other ThinkPad T500 2055-A16 also fails in the same way, but my ThinkPad SL500 2746-9BG and my Medion laptops works fine, also running Vista.

Java WebDynpro's and IE security settings for file download

We have a EP 7.0 SP13 environment on which we have deployed a number of own developed java webdynpro's. In some of these webdynpro's we provide the file download functionality. The portal and webdynpro's are used by both internal personnel and external customers.
On the other hand the default Internet security settings for Internet Explorer, disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads".
When a user, with these default security settings active, tries to use our webdynpro's file download functionality, the screen seems to refreshes but no file download starts. When (s)he retries, the session runs for some minutes and gives following error message:
"com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.session.LockException: Thread SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_20 failed to acquire exclusive lock on client session ClientSession".
This behavior is explained in SAPNote 1234847. Webdynpro provides a single-thread module, meaning a user session is blocked for the during of the request. And because the previous file download isn't yet completed the new try can't start.
Issue now, although the users IE settings allow file downloads and don't block pop up's, he can't download the file and even isn't made aware of the cause of the failure.
How can we avoid this issue, without having to communicate the
application requires specific browser settings?

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

Hope this helps... :-)

File owned, but security options still greyed out.

After a recent Server migration many file did not handle it well. I had to retake ownership of files so that I could apply security settings. Unfortunately after taking ownership of every file on my C drive with the "takeown" command, I am still
unable to make changes in many folders, subfolders, files and so on. Has anyone had this issue? Is there an answer to my struggle?
Thanks - Josh

Security settings change when rendered from third party Windows 2008 R2 server

We created a fillable PDF form in Adobe Acrobat and made it Reader extended. Opening the form on a local hard drive the security settings show that Signing: is Allowed. We can sign documents in the form with a signature pad.
After we upload it to a third party Windows server 2008 R2, and we later go to access the form, the server renders it back to us in Adobe Reader. We are unable to digitally sign documents in the form with a Topaz signature pad. We notice that although the form was originally created with the form being Reader extended the security settings change to Signing: Not Allowed.
How can we get the server to render the document back to us where we can digitally sign documents in the form?

The second file still shows the extended rights header is present (it's warning you about restrictions at the top of the dialog while also reporting the method is "no security") but the digital signature which grants those extended rights will be invalidated if *anything* in the file structure is changed. I suspect in this case that the server software is doing something to your file; it may be trivial such as adding an XMP tag, but it's enough to break the hash check.
