Server Software - No more Deny Permission Feature!!??

So unfortunately the new Server software for Mountain Lion no longer offers the "Deny" permission option. I'm currently using my Mac tower to host specific folders and sharing them via FTP. You used to be able to "Deny" others from seeing folders you didn't want them to see. Now when people log in via FTP, they can see all the other folders that are currently in my share point. Granted I haven't given them read and write permissions to the other folders so all they can do is "see" them, and can't actually open and access them.
Has anyone found a workaround for this? Apple care said I can do a "chmod" function in Terminal but I'm not really code savvy and don't feel like going this route if I don't have to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rick,
Well, there is one way to get your hands on the "delta" installer packages. Normally, the packages are downloaded, installed, then deleted. However, you can select "Download updates automatically" in the Software Updates preferences. With this option selected, updates will be downloaded in the background whenever new updates are available. When the download is complete, you will be prompted to install them.
Instead of installing right away, you can then find the packages and copy them to some other location.
A better solution might be to download updates manually. They can be found here.

Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server

Hi,
Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server
Microsoft is often unfairly slammed for security issues, says NGSS
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005383&intsrc=hm_list
Post your comments on this stupid artical.
Thanks!
M T

This is a case where size does matter.
When they say errors reported on oracle are about 4 times more than the ones reported on SQL server they forgot to say something like: SQL server is able to do... what a 10%, a 5% or whatever of what oracle can do.
Anyway who sayd this forgot to say that they worked with microsoft trying to improve SQL sever security features as well.
http://www.nextgenss.com/press-releases/ngs-and-the-sql-server-security-essential-guide/
They have a reason to say it. Who would say "I made a bad job!"
In my opinion there is no way yet to compare oracle to any other DBMS under any point of view.

Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software during a terminal service remote session.

Hello
I have been trying to install Office 2010 Pro Plus onto a Server 2003 Terminal Services server. We have an OVS license and I have followed all the procedures (and variations) noted in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff506201.aspx . However, we still get the error message 'Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software
during a terminal service remote session.' when users logon via an RDP session. If they logon locally, the applications start without problem. I have tried the manual and .msp setup, installed via the 'Add\Remove Programs, install using the command line with
'Change User /install' and then 'Change User /execute'. None of this stops the message and allows the users to use Office via TS.
Is there a step missing from the Technet site that I need to get the users working?
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thank you

This has not fixed my issue. I still get the message "Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software during a terminal service remote session". If I add the user into the local admins group. When I login as the
user in question or any user onto the server in question the message above appears.
When I run Lync from the shortcut on the remote drive it works. But when I run it from the desktop and start menu it displays the above error. I spoke to Ctrix who have said that it is a permissions issue. I have checked and all permissions seem to be the
same.
Please can you help?

TV don't work with OSX Server software?

Everything worked great BEFORE I updated our MacMini Intel to OSX Server software, now iTunes can't find the recent found Apple TV. And therefore the connection is gone and the syncing don't work anymore.
Any work-around or suggestions on how to solve this?
Or do I have to revert to previus userversion of OSX to make it work again?
Is there a limitation built into OSX Server software or is there maybe some kind of firewall / preferences etc that needs to be adjusted? (The built in firewall has been disconnected.)
FYI:
All apps are up to date. The Mac Mini + Apple TV is on my local network at home and I'm trying to make it my family's digital hub for all family-related media.
MacBook Pro CD2 & X-servers Mac OS X (10.4.9)
MacBook Pro CD2 & X-servers Mac OS X (10.4.9)

1) I've not tried to reset ATV from scratch. But it works fine on other Mac's on the network (sharing).
2) Security options, yes I belive so to. I've followed all instructions and opened all ports I've seen mentioned i apples Knowledge database / support. Still don't work. Maybe I've missed some ports...
3) YES! It works fine sharing the MacMinis lib over the network.
4) Today I also tried to reinstall iTunes. But no luck.
Any mor suggestions anyone? Thx
I really wanny solve this, otherwhise my ATV is pretty useless for me...

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
Opinions?

Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

Account is SysAdmin - but Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account.

Hi,
I have a SQL Agent Job that executes an SSIS package. However when I manually execute the SQL Agent job from SSMS I get the following seemingly common error:
"Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account."
However, the job owner is a member of both the SQL SysAdmin role, and also a member of the operating system's Administrators group.
The SQL Agent Service is running under Local Service (not something within my control unfortunately).
I have found many posts suggesting setting up a proxy account etc, but that seems to be for the case where the job owner is not a sys admin. To be clear, the job owner IS a sysadmin.
This is occurring in the Production environment. I have two other, seemingly identical environments that are working fine, so i am wondering if I have missed something obvious.
Any idea what I've missed?
details:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64) Enterprise Edition
Note - the jobs were migrated to the broken environment by scripting them from Env 1, with If exists, drop, create etc.
Thanks
Guy
Guy

Obviously, as soon as I post this I figure out the issue:
In the script i had provided for migrating the job to the new environment (to which I have no access) the DBA replaced the @owner_login_name value with a different login. The account he used does have SysAdmin privileges but for some reason
changing the account in the script did not correctly update in the job.
On opening the job in SSMS it appeared to have the correct owner account, but using GUI to look up the specific account and adding it this way, while appearing to make no difference, has in fact solved the problem.
My assumption therefore is that updating the @owner_login_name when scripting the job is not the same as actually editing the job owner itself.

My app is not fully embedding, being denied permission

Hi. So I am making a Firefox OS webapp. I'm using the <iframe> function to display a web page. The problem is that only about a 3rd of the screen is displaying the web space. Here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/POJU3lL.png
Here are the 2 errors in my firefox os simulator:
Denied permission 'browser' for app type 'web'.
Denied permission 'embed-apps' for app type 'web'.
Here is my manifest.webapp:
<pre><nowiki>{ "name": "Forum",
"description": "testing, testing!",
"permissions": {
"browser": {},
"embed-apps": {}
"launch_path": "/index.html",
"developer": { "name": "Mobile Mod",
"url": "http://mobilemod.net" },
"icons": {
"16": "/img/icon16.png",
"32": "/img/icon32.png",
"48": "/img/icon48.png",
"64": "/img/icon64.png",
"128": "/img/icon128.png" },
"default_locale": "en" }</nowiki></pre>
How do I extend the size of the <iframe>?

Hello,
The iframe issue is because iframes are sized differently than other elements like divs. Some styles like ''height: 100%;'' probably won't work. You may want to use the [https://developer.mozilla.org/web/css/calc css calc property] instead.
As for the manifest issue, you need to specify the "Description" property for each permission according to [https://developer.mozilla.org/Apps/Developing/Manifest#permissions MDN]. Anyway, you don't need the embed-apps permission if your app doesn't need to install other apps. Also, the Browser API is only needed if you need advanced browsing functions. The more permissions your app needs, the harder it is to get it approved on the Marketplace.
Hope this helps!<br>

Device software compatibility with server software

We are currently in a beta mode syncing BlackBerry devices with an Exchange server using BlackBerry Manager 4.1. One of our users wants to upgrage his device software from v4.3 to v4.5. We are trying to determine if that will create any compatibility issues with the server software.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hello,
I don't think so, but should tjhat happen, you can downgrade back to 4.3.
I think you will find more detailed answers if you post your question on the "Blackberry Enterprise Solution" board.

MacBook Pro 10.8.5 not allowed to install server software - needs 10.9.

Brand new MacBook Pro updated software to 10.8.5 but will not let me install server software because it says I have to update to 10.9. I don't see how to do that anywhere. New Mac user
Thanks for any help.
This is a new laptop I am helping setup for a school. it needs the server software to run configurator that will control a couple of ipads for the children. Cant seem to get past this first step of trying to install server software.
Thanks

Open up the App Store from the Apple logo. In the Featured tab search for OS X Mavericks under Top Free. This is 10.9. Click on the Free Upgrade option which should update the Mac to 10.9 which will hopefully allow Server to run.

What anti-virus server software is available?

I've got OS X Server 10.4.8 running, with clamav doing its thing, and quite well. However, I was wondering what third party AV software is available to be the primary scanner?
The reason is that while blocking infected mail has been good, I'd like a system that will intercept and clean files (normally macro virus stuff) and pass them along to the recipient.
Currently users are trying to email files, and when they get blocked they iChat them instead, spreading the infection.
I couldn't find any server software on Symantec or McAfee's sites.

Hello,
Symantec recommends that you use the same Symantec AV software for clients and servers. They do not have any specific AV software for Mac OS X Server. http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/products/overview.jsp?pcid=1008&pvid=825_1
Intego has Virus Barrier Server and Virus Barrier Mail Gateway for file and mail servers respectively (released Sept. 2006). Located at http://www.intego.com/vbserver/
Sophos has Sophos Anti Virus available. http://www.sophos.com/products/es/endpoint/sav-mac.html Like Symantec it is the same software for client and server.
McAfee also only has one solution for clients and servers. http://www.mcafee.com/us/enterprise/products/antivirus/file_serversdesktops/virex.html
Intego's products are fairly recent September 2006 so I don't know how much experience there is with their products out there.
Hope that gives you a brief overview of the products available.
As for your current issue, you can take four approaches (although I am sure there are more).
1. AV software on the clients stopping macro viruses on the desktops
2. AV software on a file server and use network home directories (also stopping viruses at the client level)
3. Intego's Virus Barrier Mail Gateway on your mail gateway
4. Network appliance based Anti-Virus gateway and route mail through it

An you have a 3-drive RAID-1 setup via OS X Server software?

Hello,
I'm adding 2 more 1TB drives to my xserve (for a total of 3 x 1TB drives) — is it possible to set up RAID-1 using all three drives? Or, is it limited to only 2 drives?
This will be done via OS X Server software (disk utilities), not a hardware based RAID controller).
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
Raid 1 only works with 2 Drives. For using all three drives you would want to have a Raid 5 System. Apple does not support Raid 5 in Software, so you would need an additional Apple Hardware Raid Card. This way, you could use Raid 5 with all three drives.

ColdFusion 8 - Developer Edition (Free) in NOT an IDE, it is
an

2) Eclipse + CFEclipse plug-in (free;

3) HomeSite (NOT free;

4) ColdFusion Studio (NOT free; discontinued, but you can

you could use any hml/text editor to write CFML, but the

Is there Time machine compatible PC server software?

I'm a photographer and running a dual hard drive Macbook Pro and I've reached the point where my NAS backup drive is not big enough for Time Machine to backup to. In order for me to upgrade the backup drive I'm looking at about £500 ($750) as I need one big enough not just big enough.
I have an old PC that is currently running Windows Server and is connected to my network, which obviously isn't Time Machine compatible. As buying HDD is cheaper than pre-boxed NAS drives, I wanted to use this instead.
Is there any server software that is compatible with Time Machine and I can use to build a home server? If not, I'd best start saving and hope my laptop doesn't crash or get stolen.
Thanks in advance.

No, there's no supported means to target archival storage onto a Windows box with Time Machine.
As you're likely aware, Time Machine only supports specific devices as targets, and the file server are currently OS X Server, Time Capsule devices, and the most recent generation of AirPort Extreme devices with attached disks. Not Windows Server boxes, Linux or other gear.
More than a few folks and a few discussions and various hackery have allowed random devices to appear to work (and it's possible your NAS device has seen this same hackery), but whether those configurations will continue to work or will react appropriately during the inevitable network and device glitches is very far from certain. Among these sequences, whole-disk installs and related system restorations are key, but are also something that doesn't necessarily get thoroughly tested.
A Mac Mini running OS X Server can host a fair amount of connected storage, if you decide to replace or supplement your NAS.
For more information on Time Machine, start reading here.
It is possible to roll your own backups and to use third-party tools to perform the backups onto remote devices, and one of the more common recommendations here are based on a command line tool known as rsync. Copy your files over, and either acquire or custom-create your own archival processing. (If you're interested, search for previous discussions of rsync and backups for some of the available options, and there are tools and scripts available. rsync is pretty ugly to get going initially — it's arcane — but it works pretty well, and various folks have already figured out the syntax and posted example scripts.) Carbon Copy Cloner is an alternative to Time Machine, and there are others.
On the subject of creating your own custom software for these and related tasks, it's also possible to use software that targets photo studios and their related processing, and that manages the photos and videos and other assets, and that can manage backups and related processing, and various of these will deal with reprints and purchases and related. That's a bit further along than a backup device or a Time Machine backup, but it's something that might replace the requirements. (You probably don't care nearly as much about OS X and most other stuff here as that can be re-downloaded or reinstalled, it's your photos and your customer data that are key here, and that are not replaceable. That stuff is the core target for your backups.)

Why does pages suddenly deny permission to save documents?

Pages worked beautifuly for several months, but suddenly began denying permission to save either text documents or texts w/attachments. I have not changed any settings or programs and therefore do not know how to remedy the situation that suddenly developed.

Have you done any system updates lately? Using Disk Utility to repair permissions after system & software updates is a good practice. Deleting the Pages preference file is a good troubleshooting step. Go to (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist & restart Pages. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
To make it easier for others to help, please include your profile with OS X version with your posts. It also helps to include the version of specific software if that's what your question is about.
