Security & Wordpress

I'm wondering how secure Wordpress is and if there are any suggestions for alternatives. Apparently, I have to download and install their Worpress application and I'm concerned about security of my system, etc.
Any insight here is appreciated.

As far as I have seen, Cisco doesn't provide site certification services like Norton or Mcafee.

Adobe muse - How do I add cms?

Hi I've designed a couple of sites in adobe muse now, but i'd like to know how to add cms for potential client to update sites I design for them. Can you help me please?

I actually agree that WordPress (self hosted installation) could be the way to go (not exclusively, but a CMS software, either open-source or even proprietory). However, learn to code to offer a point of difference (I'm assuming you already know how to design a good site - the other point of difference).
I'm probably biased as I love the ability to have control over coding my site designs (to me, Muse is cheating, I've used it - any good designer can design a site - but coding it up yourself is a fantastic skill to have. Just my opinion).
WordPress is free, yes, but it's essentially a free CMS. For me, I used to have to charge clients for a CMS component to my site developments before the open source ones came about, so in that respect, for many sites, the CMS cost component has been elliminated for clients (some still choose to go the proprietory way). WordPress is probably the easiest CMS for clients to learn to use at the level they need to edit their own content for smaller sites (note I'm calling it a CMS, it stopped being just a blogging tool a long time ago). I can see where the comments are coming from that are saying to stay a way from WordPress, as there are many people out there calling themselves 'web developers / designers' who have found WordPress and have thought, I could use this to make some moolah, but they don't know how to go further than installing WordPress, activating a plugin, a theme (they may even know some basic css to customise the theme), and then charging people for something that they could do for themselves for free. I doubt some of them even know how to secure a site.
However, as a CMS itself, WordPress is actually very powerful, and can power a pretty large, serious site. A comment earlier mentions that the destinction between cheap and professional is apparent, and it's true for WordPress sites. You can tell the sites that use it for free, as a hobbyist, or have done it themselves (and if someone is charging for this, look at their site and client sites - you can tell straightaway if they know what they're doing - if their site & client sites look templated but they're charging web designer fees, that's a dead giveaway to steer clear ).
For me, I use WordPress on some sites as a tool to give my clients the CMS capabilities they need (along with other open-source and proprietory CMSs). If developers had to pay for WordPress as a piece of software, I'd do it. However, I go far beyond what people can get for free from it, and give people what they can't do for themselves, such as custom professional web design & development, design of their site to suit their whole branding strategy, functionality way beyond the core offerings of WordPress, and education on how to keep their sites secure (WordPress is popular, and hackers know this.)
As a designer, Adobe tools are a must (I'm a graphic design as well as web designer). Illustrator is my preferred choice for web design proofs for clients, InDesign for print, Dreamweaver I use for coding (by hand - I just like the way it colour codes the raw code).
If you need to offer professional web design as a service, with CMS capabilities, and want to go with with WordPress, or Drupal, or Mod X , or CMSMS, or a proprietory system, and don't want to outsource to a professional developer who knows what they're doing, then learning to code is a must, not an optional extra - CSS is not difficult (need to be aware of cross browser limitations though), HTML is so easy, PHP is harder but is worth knowing, for other CMSs the Smarty Templating language is often used, other web technologies can be handled by outsourcing to serious developers/programmers. Learning how WordPress works (from the backend) is not enough. Learn how to develop with it. If deciding to go with WordPress, don't rely on free plugins, get some very good quality premium ones (just the core set) and be prepared to spend some money on these tools. (Would you use a tradesperson who only relied on free or cheap sub-standard tools?) - Machine generated code is no substitute to hand written code. (Remember the old ImageReady and the spurfluous generated HTML from a sliced layout? Yuk!)
I can say, if you are a very good front end designer and can design a site layout, then learning how to develop that layout for a CMS is very satisfying indeed - at the very least, start by learning how to code it into a HTML layout with CSS, get some initial help with this from Dreamweaver and go from there. Code for me is another tool to add to my Adobe toolset to satisfy creative output.

I cannot upload Photoshop Touch jpegs to my Wordpress blog. I get this error message: ´File type not permitted due to security reasons.´

Images I retouch in Photoshop Touch and save as jpegs won´t upload to my Wordpress blog. I get this error message: ´File type not permitted due to security reasons.´ I never had this issue before when using photoshop cs or gimp. How can I resolve this issue and continue using Photoshop Touch which otherwise works great with my tablet.

It seems like you might have to rename them to jpg.

Cisco security for wordpress

I've a site in wordpress and what I want to ask is do cisco provide any security to wordpress sites. My site is http://howbees.com in wordpress and currently it has no security online. Do cisco provide security like norton etc to prevent my site from being compromised.
Thanks.

Wordpress security update

Wordpress has released update v4.2.1 to fix a flaw that allowed hackers to take control of a web site by posting malicious code in the site's Comments box.
If you have a site using Wordpress, update to WP v4.2.1 ASAP. If some other company runs your Wordpress blog, turn off Comments until they've updated the WP software.
Users who just visit an unpatched Wordpress site could be infected with malware installed by hackers through that site's Comments box.

Hi Ian--
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
ianholmes wrote:
Why is it that the mysql client can still see the databases but the PHP app has stopped being able to?
It sounds like the security update changed something with where PHP looks for the MySQL socket. The first thing to try is to see where MySQL put the socket and where PHP is looking for it. First, log into MySQL using the mysql client from Terminal and run this query:
show variables like '%sock%';
I get this:
---------------+-----------------
| Variable_name | Value |
---------------+-----------------
| socket | /tmp/mysql.sock |
---------------+-----------------
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The second part of the equation is where PHP is looking for the socket. Make a plain text file called "test.php" and put it in the root of your web site. Put the following in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Then point your browser to that page via the address http://localhost/test.php
You'll get a whole huge page of settings for PHP, and somewhere will be the location for the MySQL socket. It's possible it's listed here:
/var/mysql/mysql.sock
You just need to either edit your php.ini file to make that match the MySQL one (you may have to copy a default one, I forget), or edit your MySQL configuration file to match PHP. I vaguely remember using the "old" location for MySQL rather than the "new" PHP one, but I don't remember why. But let me know which you'd like to do and I should be able to help you get that set up.
Oh, and I need to know if you've installed PHP5 from Marc Liyanage (the so-called "Entropy" version) or if you're using the default PHP4 shipped with Tiger (which is what it sounds like you have).

When using the online editor in our wordpress blog on any other online editor I get this error "Your browser security settings don't permit the editor to automatically execute cutting operations. Please use the keyboard for that (Ctrl+X)" Please help.

I have online editors for our blog and websites for generating articles and blog posts. Different editors from different sites and programmers. Firefox doesn't allow me to use the cut/paste/copy functions with these editors. I get this message or something similar every time.

What is the difference between https: and http: at the beginning of the web address? Does this effect security when looking onto bank accounts?

New to foxfire, and not very computer savvy. When enter search for bank account noticed the the web address came up with a http: rather than an https: as it normally does when I search from safari on MAC, or even at my PC at work. Not sure what the difference is but if it is a security thing than foxfire is no good for my use.

In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. 
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

OBIEE Security 10g to 11g: Groups

I had a Security scenario that I wanted to throw out to the forum...
In 10g, we made use of the GROUP system variable to pull a users group membership from a database table. This was a Session Variable initialized upon each login.
Data-level and object-level security was different for each group.
In our environment users had the ability to switch groups, so they could be active in one of the groups and inactive in the others. We provided a form (WriteBack) that allowed them to set what group they wanted to be active for. They would then log out and log back in and have their new group assignments.
In the Session Variable this was done by pulling in only groups that were flagged as Active. This worked great as it was done at the Session level. So I could login once and see Dashboard A, swtich my role, then log back in and NOT see Dashboard A.
I know 11g still has the concept of WEBGROUPS, that would mimic the above, but my understanding is that Oracle is pushing the use of Application Roles.
My question is how would the above behavior be ported over to 11g using Application Roles? I didn't think the population of an Application Role was Session Based, my belief is that it is populated when the Admin Server/Managed Servers are bought up pulling from the applcable Security Provider.

Q1. how deploy external database security(users, groups) to OBIEE 11g.
we used external database security in 10g. all the users and groups maintained in database and obiee rpd has security groups. repository has group information only so it is deployed groups information to obiee 11g by upgrade assistant but how can it deploy users in external database?

Q2. all the users and roles in LDAP server. in this case how obiee 11g read users and group information?
Obiee11g is intergated with weblogic fusion middleware (Console,EM). in that console have feature to enable mulitiple LDAP authentication
while configuring AD via weblogic console we need to give the users and group info

I have tried EVERYTHING (well, nt everything, I don’t have the fix I suppose).
I found plenty out there and nothing directly correlates with this issue.
I searched on all parts of the errors I got.
This contains an interesting blurb about setting up access for the apppool id correctly.
That’s not the case for me. It works in dev and the same id are used there.

Hi.
You say its a multiserver farm, do you have more than one web server then?
If thats the case, have you tried accessing the site on each server directly?
Found this for you, maybe that can help?

I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and since the "lock" icon never appears when accessing secure websites, where should I look for it?

I just recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the "lock" icon doesn't appear anywhere (I can find) when accessing secure websites. I haven't seen it once. It used to appear in the lower right corner of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

I have a "Security Unlocked" HTC 8x that will not download updates. Is there a way to push updates to it?

So I destroyed the LCD on my first 8x and had to get a replacement. I bought another 8x on ebay and it turns out that it is "Security Unlocked". I apparently have full access to the bootloader and can enter all sorts of fun modes by pressing buttons
during bootup. But I am unable to install any OTA updates to the phone. When I search for updates on the phone it tells me that my device is up to date (my current version is 8.0.900.568). If I attempt to install language packs, I just get an error "Couldn't
download. Tap to retry".
When I boot to "bootloader mode", which displays lots of numbers and bar codes, the indications are that this phone was shipped from HTC this way and was not hacked by a previous owner. I suspect the ebay seller got it like this new. The ebay seller
has not responded to any of my messages.
HTC support has been less than helpful (though the support agent did try his best to help me out) and Windows Phone support believed I was referring to "Developer unlocked" and said I would probably have better luck here. I have registered the
phone with Visual Studio and have so far been unsuccessful at finding any way to push updates to the phone directly, but I'm not sure at all where to look. Right now I just have VS Express with the WP SDK installed, but I can install VS 2013 Pro on here if
I need to.
Since it is security unlocked, I supposedly have access to all sorts of gooey parts of the phone, including potentially the OS partition. I have the technical skill and ability to perform whatever official or unofficial or unsupported tasks might be involved
in getting this thing to work like a normal phone. I just don't have the esoteric knowledge to do so.
So the original question - are there any hacks I can do to make it function like a regular phone and download updates OTA? (To be clear, I am not trying to hack the phone, I'm trying to UNhack the phone.) Is there a way to push updates with Visual Studio
or in some other way?

I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

Is it possible to set up WordPress in a subdirectory?

Hi; here's the story:
I'm virtual-hosting 3 websites (including mail and ftp) on our in-house MacMini SL server. These sites are pretty basic, and each resides in its own folder on the secondary (non-system) drive inside our MacMini:
/Volumes/harddrive2/websites/domain1
/Volumes/harddrive2/websites/domain2
etc.
This setup has worked well for several years. But now we want to upgrade our main site ("domain1"), and have begun working with a web design company. This company has told us that we need to have WordPress installed in order to accomplish some of the functionality we have asked for. They also requested that we set up a subdirectory within our main "domain1" directory where they can build and test the new site; then, once it's ready to go live, we would move the new site up one level, replacing the files that are currently in the "domain1" directory. So the folder structure they're asking for looks like this:
/Volumes/harddrive/websites/domain1/testing
I downloaded MAMP and WordPress (I realize now that MAMP was not strictly necessary, but as I'm not an IT pro it seemed like a fairly user-friendly solution), and indeed, I was able to install all of the necessary files, create a database using phpMyAdmin, install Wordpress, and create a WP admin account. The problem is that I have not been able install WP such that it resides in the /testing subdirectory. There are a couple of issues that may be relevant here:
1. MAMP defaults Apache to port 8888. If I don't change that assignment, the consequence is that I have to include :8888 after the domain in order to interact with WP. (I can change the port to 80, but this then interrupts all traffic to my existing websites.) I'm not sure if using :8888 for Apache may somehow be inhibiting my ability to target WP to the /testing subdirectory.
2. Interestingly, if I place all the WP files in the /testing subdirectory (which is where I want them), I am able to complete the WP setup (and this works whether Apache is using port 8888 or 80). But the strange thing here is that after WP is up and running it still sees the "domain1" directory, rather than the /testing subdirectory, as the path to WP. IOW, when I look in Settings > General in WP after the WP set up is complete, it shows www.domain1.com as the path to WP, and not www.domain1.com/testing, and any attempt to access WP with a URL that includes the /testing subdirectory fails. No matter what I do, I can only access WP using the main domain directory (www.domain1.com/wp-login.php).
When I asked this question on the WP forums, I was advised that this is a server configuration issue that I should pursue with Apple. Put simply: WP needs to reside in the /testing subdirectory while we work on the new site, and then everything in that subdirectly needs to move up one level to the domain1 directory and function there when we're ready to launch. If anyone can suggest a configuration that will make that possible, I would appreciate it; or, if there is some other approach that will accomplish the same end, I'm all ears. Thanks so much.

With Server Admin, you'd switch the "old" virtual host entries for the port and the domain name over to the new directory, and you should be good to go. You'll want to test the web site after that switch-over, of course, on the off chance that the testing virtual host's details got embedded in a configuration file or into the HTML of the web site somewhere. If the web folks have been following typical web design practices, the whole site is relative to the domain, and the domain itself is not encoded in the HTML.
As for what you didn't ask...
I did not, do not and would not recommand using MAMP here.
MAMP adds complexity to an OS X Server configuration, and adds the potential for vulnerabilities, and you already have a new maintenance project and security risk you're managing with a content management system.
When last I checked, the MAMP folks specifically recommended against using it in production and against exposing the package to the wilds of the Internet. It was intended for development and testing.
To be clear: I don't have anything against MAMP for web development use on OS X client and do occasionally use it for that purpose, but I can think of no reason to use it in an OS X Server configuration.
For this case, I would recommend using the existing OS X Server 10.6 Server Admin.app tool to add a virtual host on a variant port.
As a maintenance and security matter separate from the use of MAMP or the integrated Apache server present in OS X Server, Wordpress, Drupal and various other content management system packages are unfortunately common targets for attackers. From direct experience dealing with the resulting messes from successful breaches at various sites, uncomplicated web site defacements and the SEO-placement hacks are about the least nasty problems that arise. If the attackers delete stuff, or start generating spam, or swipe sensitive data, things get ugly.
And to be clear on CMS packages: I don't mean to scare you off Wordpress, Drupal or another CMS either. I use and depend on CMS packages. This is simply to underscore the need to monitor the CMS security notification lists for new attacks, and to expect to need to keep your Wordpress patches and updates current, to keep your OS X Server backups and web database backup exports current and tested, and to actively monitor your servers. Your web folks may or will be providing you with a mysqldump database export for backups, or an analogous export for whatever database you're using.

Enterprise Manager in secure environment with no internet access

I have Oracle 11g installed in a secure isolated environment, which means there is limited access to the servers, and definitely no internet access from that environment.
I am looking to configure Enterprise Manager / Database control.
I can successfully start up the application server on my database server, and connect to this from a web browser within my secure environment.
However when I try to display the Performance tab, nothing is displayed.
I understand this screen uses an ActivX component.
Is the use of the ActivX component going to have problems because my servers have no direct internet access, or should this not make any difference?
Thanks
Paul Graves

No this is not going to make any difference.
You don't need any internet connection at all for working with OEM GC.
Maybe, if you want to configure the Patch Setup to receive Patch Adviories from My Oracle Support, but even then you can do without a connection from you server(s) to the internet.
Asuming that you are using OEM GC 10.2.0.5, you will also be needing the installation of Flash Player and Adobe SVG Plugin, both to be installed in your browser.
Kind regards
Rob

Get Current UserName in Infopath always returns the secure store service credential name

I followed the 3 page tutorial here to get the current Display Name in an infopath textbox.https://spvee.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/auto-populate-user-information-in-infopath-with-claims-based-authentication-part-1-of-3/
After several tries I narrowed down the problem to something very specific.
It always shows the Display Name of the user used in the Credentials in the secure store service application. It doesnt use the current user.
I do have access to the farm, but I didnt not install it, so am not aware if something is wrong on IIS/App Pools or service applications.
Any idea??

How do I tell if a site is secure when I'm ordering a product? I'm not seeing the little lock icon. perhaps that was a Microsoft thing.

I tried a new website where I wanted a garden tool. Then tried Amazon.com and still nothing I recognized to tell me it was "safe" to order.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. 
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

You can click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock if there is a secure connection. 
A click on the "More Information" button will show more details about the connection. 
The background color of the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar will change color (blue or green) and show the domain in case of a secure HTTPS connection.
* Hover the [[Site Identity Button]] then to see "Verified by xxxx"
* Click the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock
* Click the "More Information" button in that pop-up to see additional information about the connection.
You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.
