Setting file permission policies? Help!

I'm developing a module that generates reports of data from a database. This module gives the user the oportunity to either preview the generated report, save the report to the local file system or print directlly to a system printer.
The application is running through a J2EE web service, as an applet, and it's the save part I'm having trouble with. I'm using javax.swing.JFileChooser for easy locating the file in which to save the report, but there are missing FilePermissions. I'm guessing this has to be set on the client machine.
The exception I'm getting is as follows:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied(java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir.read)
What I want, is for the applet to automatically configure itself to be able to access the filesystem. I do not want the user to go to the trouble of generating policy files for himself, the applet must run the same way on all client machines.
How can I do this?

This is not under my control. My module is only one in several which make up a client-server application designed for a large coorporation. The desition has been made to run the application under Internet Explorers rule and I have to design my module accordinglly.
Are there any ways around? To refrase the question slightlly... How can I use the JFileChooser through Internet Explorer?

How to set file permission using Oracle FTP Adapter

Hi,
I am using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.4. I am trying to put a file using Oracle FTP adapter on unix box. The file that gets written to target system has file permission as RW/R/R. But this is a legacy system, and for them to consume this file - they expect the file permission to be RW/RW/R.
They have set the .profile with the required permissions for the ftp user account that we are using. But still when my BPEL process writes a file to unix box through ftp adapter, the file permission is RW/R/R.
Is there any way to control file permissions while writing files using ftp adapter? Any help would be highly appreciated.

But these setting needs to be done on unix server. Yes, that's the way to go... There's no config for that on FtpAdapter as far as I know...
This setting will enable the same configurations for all other ftp accounts on the server, which doesnt sound correct. Any other way of doing this? Or can this be done only for one ftp account?You have to check if your ftp server is capable of having different umask for different ftp users... I believe most do not...

Set file permission in AO?

I created an simple AO to distribute Console One to workstations. The app
works good if you are a local admin but if you are running under user
rights you receive license errors when viewing object properties in C1.
The problem is the licenses.read file located at the root of C: needs to
have modify permissions for users. What is the best way to set modify
rights to this particular file after it is distributed? Or maybe this file
can be placed somewhere else? I tried putting it in the C1 directory but
that didn't work. I'm open to any ideas on this.
Thanks

You can run CACLS.EXE to set permissions on a file.
This could be run from a ZEN app with elevated rights.

Network file permission error and Log??? Need help...

Hi everyone!
Based on what I learned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1760312&#1760312
I have a log in my script like this:
set log_path to (startup disk as string) & "Applications:My Folder:My Log"
set the_date to (current date) as string
set logfilecontent to (open for access file log_path with write permission)
try
write the_date & return & "Here's my Log:" & return & "item1" & return to logfilecontent starting at eof
on error
close access logfilecontent
end try
close access logfilecontent
It has always worked but this is part of an app. I just realized that this will work on my admin login but not on a regular login (I mean logging into the computer). And if I change the owner/group of the app sometimes it will change if I can do it either on an admin login or standard. I often get a Network file permission error and it gets stuck. I know it's something to do with permissions, but maybe I don't fully understand still? I need it so it will work on admin or standard login without that error. In that same link above a user mentions he had the same problem. So there's something I'm just not getting??? And I know it's here with the Log because I took it out and no problem. Hope you guys can help out???
Thanks in advance,
Reg

If the log already exists on the hard disk, you may not be able to write to it from a non-admin account, and you may want to avoid writing to the Applications folder. You can provide an empty log in the expected place which allows all accounts to write to it, but the permissions may be lost when the application is installed.
Alternative options include creating different logs for each account:
set log_path to (startup disk as string) & "Applications:My Folder:" & (do shell script "whoami") & "'s Log"
or writing the log to the account's home folder:
set log_path to (path to home folder as string) & "Library:Preferences:My Folder:My Log"

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

this may happen on external drives if:
The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for external drive
Close iTunes
Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
Mount drive again
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for internal hard drive
Close iTunes
Reboot system
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
Reboot system, restart iTunes
If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

HT1941 I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly. I am an old dude new to Mac OS. What up?

I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Set Folder Permission with CSV File

I currently have a batch file that I use to set the folder permission on a users folder. The batch file of course requires me to manually set two variables. I'd like to have a master csv file containing this info and a powershell script to allow
me to set these permission much more quickly. Here's my current batch file:
Set User=123A
Set Folder=123
icacls C:\Data\%folder% /grant %user%:(OI)(CI)F
My csv file would appear as 123A,123
I did do a search and found a few posts on this subject, but couldn't wrap my head around how to modify them to fit my needs.
Kevin

FOR /F "eol=; tokens=1,2* delims=, " %%i in (myfile.txt) do icacls C:\Data\%%j /grant %%i:(OI)(CI)F

Error 8 (file permissions) when using Help:Search

Hi there,
When I use the help system and do a search, I get the following error:
Error 8 occurred at Open File
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File permission error. You do not have the correct permissions for the file.
=========================
NI-488: DMA hardware error detected.
This is Labview 8.2 running on Linux (Enterprise RHEL4), and I had the same problem with Labview 7.1. The problem seems to be caused by the permissions on some or all of the following files, which are written to the /tmp directory when the search is performed:
controls2.htm
index2.htm
js_buttons.htm
search_results.html
If I do a search, these files are written but not erased (with permissions -rw-r--r--). If someone else then does a search, they get the Error 8 problem listed above. If the owner of these files (or root) deletes them, the problem is solved -- until a different user than the owner of those temporary files wants to search the help system.
My guess is that if I could get Labview to either open up the write permissions on these files or delete them after the help session is complete, the problem would be solved.
Any advice? Has anyone else had this problem (you would need a multiple-user linux system to see it)?
Thanks,
Tobin

Hi Tobin-
The following KnowledgeBase articles provide some valuable insight. Check them out and reply if they don't help resolve the problem.

Constant file permission problems

Hello out there..
I'm currently trying to sort out a problem with - what I guess is my - file permissions.
The problem reappears, even after a long disk repair session, where loads of issues are found and repaired.
At the end it says everything is ok, but if I click repair again, it starts again , and even after restart, the problem is back again?!?!
I've set my permission as follows, (to those of you who doesn't speak Danish - it's "read & write"), but it still says I have "special access"?
Why? and what can I do to fix it..
Please help me..
Michael

Disk Repair or Permission Repair?
Long list from a Permission Repair that come back is normal. Nothing wrong. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
Long lists of problems from a Disk Repair that keep coming back is bad news. Likely failing disk.
Special Access means you have Access Control List entries set for the particular directory/file.
Did you every change permissions and then "Apply to Enclosed?"
Do you actually have file access problems, or are you just repairing permissions and think the long list indicates a problem?

How do I set file permissions

I need to rename a file but am getting a file permission error. What can I do?

Thanks GerdW for the info.
Percy, if you are on the Windows platform, you could use the DOS command ATTRIB to set or remove permissions. Type "attrib/?" under DOS to see the usage.
Also see the attached code. Replace the "testfile.txt" to your file name and give an appropriate working directory. Hope this helps.
Regs,

How to use FilePermission class to change the file permission in Linux

Hi all,
I'm running in a issue related to changing the file permission under Linux environment. I'm using Suse 10.0 Linux and run jdk 1.5 java runtime.
I want to create a file during execution time and change the permission of the same. I use File.createNewFile() API to create file. By default it does not have all the 3 permission (read,write,execute) for all the user ( user,owner,group). Through program I have to change the file permission ( equal to execute ,chmod 777 filename).I donot want to use runtime.exec() with chmod as the argument , since it creates a process to change the permission which may impact the performance. I want to try FilePermission class , by giving filename and permission as the argument. But it is not changing the permission . Could any one faced this problem ?
If any body guides me, how to change the permission of the file under Linux using FilePermission class , it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Sankar

How do I set the Umask prior to starting the program
? Could pls explain in steps.I don't think umask can help you. The mode mask prevents permission bits from being set when a file is created, but does not force any bits to be set. So if execute permission is not set explicitly when a file is created, umask will do nothing about it.
But if you want more information about umask, see the man page for your shell script (sh, csh, etc.) or "man 2 umask".

File Permission 101 - Why isn't this simple?

Help. I don't understand why all the mystery about file permission. I can't get Migration Assistant to work so I need to move file folders to my new computer. I continually get shut down because I "don't have permission". It's my computer and I set it up originally and yes I must have done something wrong but why can't I get permission to access file folders and move them. Some say read only. Some say read - write. I want them to all be read-write or at least movable. I can change the setting but I still don't get access. Can someone suggest how to get access to my own files to be able to move them? I can access them - just can't move them or copy and paste them or drag them. Obviously, I'm inexperienced so simplicity is welcome.

When you push the up arrow, you add 1 X 10 ^ -7 to 1 X 10^ -4 so it makes little difference to what gets displayed when you repaint(). Try temporarily changing the line to "speed-=0.0001;" in the keyTyped() method to show better what is going on.

Web-Disk on OSX 10.9 Give me this error: "Finder got an error: Network file permission error."

Previously I was using OSX 10.8 and Web Disk was working great.
Since I upgraded to OSX 10.9 Web Disk Dont Attach to my compputer and give me this ERROR:
FInder got an error: Network file permission error.
When I got this ERROR first time I searched GOOGLE and found this link: http://cammodude.blogspot.no/
And I did:
To force all connections to be SMB1:
Open A terminal window
paste in the following line followed by the return key(should be all on one line):
echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
What the command does:
Creates a file called nsmb.conf in your home directory at the path ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf.
Adds directives to force SMB connections to use the SMB1 protocol. This is slower but stable.
Then I could use Web Disk on OSX 10.9 after executing this command in Terminal.
But now I restarted my Macbook and now Im NOT able to connect to Web Disk and get the same ERROR.
FInder got an error: Network file permission error
After trying 100 times it attaches 1 time but then show this ERROR:
Can't get <<class cdis>> "my.server.com/2078" of application "Finder".
If this happen then I can see the files in Finder and see the Contents and Size of files but if I open a PHP file in BBEdit then it shows BLANK.. But actually it is NOT blank.
Now Im stuck How can I solve this? All help is highly appericated..
Thank you so much...

Hi,
Make sure to chmod the app, something like this :
chmod -Rf 777 secure_site_WebDisk.app
(in my case the CPanel provided the app for my OSx version.)
