SharedObject.flush / Security.showSettings issue

First time poster, so hopefully I'm following all the appropriate protocols...
Hi! I'm having a weird problem, and I'm sure the fix is easy, but it's not easy till I know it...
I'm compiling in CS4, testing in IE (and stand-alone). The code I have worked fine in the past; I'm pretty sure the problem is external to the code itself.
My program basically implements caching of large files using sharedObject. What I had been doing in the past, just to get the user's permission for unlimited file size, was create an empty sharedObject, and flush it with a big value:
this.cacheSizer = SharedObject.getLocal( "sizeRequester" );
var str:String = cacheSizer.flush( 10485761 );
This did just what I wanted - if the permission was already set, the user saw nothing, otherwise, on program start, it requested unlimited size.
The problem is, now it doesn't do that anymore. When testing with the latest Flash Player, (after having deleted the site from the settings manager's local storage dialog - assume that for any of the data I'll give), the pop up message doesn't display. The return string on the function is "pending", and the FlushStatusEvent instantly gets dispatched with a level of "error" and a code of "SharedObject.Flush.Failed". The space allocated is whatever the global default for stored file setting is set to. When I uninstall the latest version and install the debug player that was included with the CS4 distribution ( c:\program files\adobe\adobe flash cs4\players\debug\Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe ), I get vastly different results. The popup window displays, but I can't click on "Accept" or "Decline." Clicking shows the skin change, but the window never closes, and the settings are never set. Clicking on the help icon, however, works fine. (This basically locks me up, since the window keeps the focus and won't go away.)
Ok. So, sharedObject.flush isn't working. I tried a workaround. I added a button to the fla, and added an event listener so that when it's clicked, I call Security.showSettings, just like in the livedocs published example for showSettings (at the bottom of http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/Security.html for example). Trace statements show me that I call the function. With the latest release Player, I never see the settings panel. With the debug Player, it shows up, but I can't move the trackbar to set the file size, and I can't click the "never show this again" checkbox. Incidentally, I can't tweak the settings in any of the other tabs, either. Clicking the "close" button works.
The weirdest thing is that when I create a brand-new fla and copy the code from the livedocs example, it behaves just as I would expect it to.
My conclusion is that something is set in my SWF that makes it so we're not allowed to change the user settings. But what's doing it, and how do I make it stop?
I could use any advice you can give.
Thanks!

After tons of testing, we've come up with the problems. I don't know if this is an Adobe bug, or a new "feature," but it shocked the heck out of me.
If you publish your swf with any hardware acceleration setting other than "None", user settings are disabled. This accounts for sharedObject.flush not popping up, and Security.showSettings not working. Set it to none, and running standalone, you're fine.
Similarly, if you set the html page wmode to anything other than 'none', this also seems to impact the hardware acceleration (presumably overriding that which is set in the swf itself). And again, any hardware acceleration makes it so that user settings are disabled.
It was a pain to figure this out, so I thought I'd share. Hopefully, it will make it so some of you don't have to go through this same pain.

How do i deal with 'security certificate' issues on my iPad2? I'm unable to answer the security questions that pop up when Im trying to download an app because the pop up does not load properly...

Basically my Ipad2 stopped allowing me to go to sites such as Tumblr a little while ago. It wouldn't display the page properly because of 'security certificate' issues. This in itself would not have been such a problem, but when I went to the App store to try and download the Tumblr App, a pop up appeared asking me to answer some security questions before I could successfully install the App. However, the pop up would not display correctly because of 'security certificate' issues and as a result I can't download any apps from the App Store. Can anyone help with this??

Well, I maged to delete some stuff, download the update...
My Mac mail is still not ok. Still only displays today, yesterday and everything is the 16th of the month previous to this?

Can we set up a forum for Security related issues?

I know many of us think security is a Windows related issue, but from time to time there are security issues that may come up. I had a question so I looked and couldn't find a forum, so I posted in one of the OS X 10.6 sub forums.
Thanks!

Over the years, I've tried to grow the Mac side of our forum, but, as you may know, there is little or no interest in security within the Mac community. For many, the feel security is a Windows issue.

Essbase Security Filter issue.

Hi,
Its regarding the security filter issue.
The major problem is whosoever user is provisioned under that security filter, if the user is trying to connect to Application using Excel Addin / Smartview, it crashes the essbase server [Network Error [10061], timed out error)]
When we figured out because of this filter essbase server is crashing, we tried to edit the filter. sometimes if we click on edit, it crashes the server or sometimes we can see some junk characters in the filter.
We have applied the security on Entities dimension and problematic filter is ASP.
Now the hirerachy is like this.
Entities dimesnsion and then ASP member and under ASP we have our several members.
Filter is like this:
Write : @Idescendants("ASP")
It was working fine for almost 15 days.
Now if i edit the filter, i can see like this:
Write : @Idescendants("ASP")
Metaread:@Idescendants("*&^%?)
Junk characters are coming in and no idea from where they are coming.
I can't delete the filter also, again it crashes the essbase server.
As a workaround i have created a temp filter and dome the assignation for this group, according to that.
Everything is working fine.
I just wanted to know, has anybody faced such kind of problem earlier.
What cud be the root cause for this.
How could I delete the filter.
I have also get messages like security file is corrupted (we have restored it from old backup) but really worried about security file as we are moving the whole thing to production server this weekend.
Please advise me on this, Please help me. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I am really in trouble.
Thanks,
Pankaj Mehta.

Try to edit the filter from MaxL command line using
alter filter sample.basic.filt7 add write on '@IDescendants("ASP")';
here sample=application
basic=database
filt7=filtername
have good luck

Security related issues

Hi everybody,
We know that weblogic stores all its configuration
parameters in an xml file,including the userid and password for the database
in clear text form .
I want to know whether it is a security flaw?
Is there a way to encrypt the file contents,so that the userid and password
will not be in clear text form.
Any suggestions to increase the security on the config file by appliying os
restriction or by any third party tool will be helpful.
Thanks in advance

HT5228 I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. There is no security update issued for this operating system - it only covers 10.6. Is my comuter vulnerable? Do I need to do anything?

I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. There is no security update issued for this operating system - it only covers 10.6. Is my comuter vulnerable? Do I need to do anything?

I'm still not clear why Apple only issued security updates for 10.6 and later. I assume they think we should all update our operating systems or maybe they are just focusing on the majority of users?
Apple has had a long standing policy of only supporting the current and previous operating system releases. Whether they decide to make an exception for even older releases is anyone's guess.
You can send them feedback to express your opinion.
Or does the new Trojan not affect older OS? I'd like to know , if anyone has information.
As far as is known, it does affect older unsupported releases. Disabling Java in your web browser is the current preventive approach (and that is a community derived approach)

Security design issue

Hi Folks,
I've a security design issue using J2EE architecture framework in my
project..
Proj Requirement:
i) User Logs-into a health b2b/b2c portal website...
ii) Check the user exist in the database or LDAP directory service.
iii) If exist user then check the role Patient/Insurance Provider/Physician?
iv)If Patient then display his personal health record history.
else Insurance Provider then display about Insurance Policy information,
which he can update/create insurance for entered patient id. If patient has
granted access to Insurance Provider
and if Physician then display about hospital information like
waiting patients,sending appointments,etc..
The above security access control role & policy has to be implemented
very strong. so that other user cannot view/update someone health records..
Development tool:WebLogic Server/Oracle/LDAP.. on Linux
Security Problem:
i)What is the best security solution for the above requirement?
ii)How do I authenticate/validate user using J2EE security framework?
Can anyone explain in details or steps to implement?
Thanks,
-raj-

I'm assuming that your using WLS 6, if so check out (I know we cover this in
the documentation but I'm guessing at the title) the "securing your site"
guide. Some of what you're planning the WLS server can protect through good
ACL usage. I'd recommend creating at least three groups (patient, provider,
physician), clearly the danger lies in having a user who is a member of more
than one group. I'd recommend implementing your own role checking at both
the servlet and EJB levels to fully enforce information access, using
servlet state and stateful session beans should help.

Security certificate issue for Provider Hosted App (SP Online)

Hi all,
I am having a hard time with SP Online debugging a basic provider hosted app.
Steps I have taken to create the app:
created a new provider hosted app in Visual Studio 2013 and setting my SP Online debugging site (wich works perfectly for SP hosted apps).
Chose Azure ACS option, although I do not have an Azure account
When I deploy the app I get to the page on my debugging site where I must choose "Trust It", but when I do I get the message that the Connection is Unsecure/unsafe:
How can I fix this? Do I need to create an Azure account for debugging purposes already? Or is there another way to solve the problem?

Hi,
I understand that you get Security certificate issue for Provider Hosted App (SP Online).
Per my knowledge, you need to create an Azure account for debugging purposes.
To create a SharePoint 2013 app for Office 365 and publish it to an Azure web site, you can refer to:

Mail Security certificate issue and cannot send email from mail app on surface 2

well im have the same issue like others and coincidently we all started to have this issue just recently like few days ago. Please help us out as on the surface 2 mail app my Hotmail account ( The main account )
cannot send mails and on the account setting it says there is a problem with the server security certificate. So how to fix it ???

Does this issue only happen with Hotmail account? Have you tested the account in other mail programs or send a email via web mail in a browser? What is the result if we delete the account then recreate the account?

Sap CRM 2007 Security related issue

Hi All,
I am working on SAP CRM 2007 security.
I have scenario, which we are trying to fix.
There are two users A and B.
A is assigned to role X
B is assigned to role y
Business Partner 123 is created for user A
Business Partner 456 is created for user B
These Business Partners are assigned to Authorization Groups.
See below:
1)Authorization Group (LK01) is assigned to Business Partner --123.
2) Authorization Group (LK02) is assigned to Business Partner --456
3) Authorization groups LK01 is assigin to user A in PFCG role X
4) Authorization groups LK02 is assigin to user B in PFCG role Y
a) User A assigned with PFCG role X>Authorization Group (LK01)>BP 123.
b) User B assigned with PFCG role Y>Authorization Group (LK02)>BP 456.
Note:
1) Authorization Groups are assigned to BPs under the Control tab.
2) These Auth Groups are assigned in Authorization Object in PFCG role.
Now, USER 'A' should not be able to work under the BP 456 as this BP is assigned to authorization group LK02.
The issue is when we open the WEB UI and login with user A role X, He can search for the BP 456 assigned to Auth Group LK02.
User A can open the Interaction History and edit the Service Order created using the BP 456.
He can Edit the following in Service Order details:
1) General Data Status (from created to complete), Contact person, Sale Rep name.
2) Organization Data like Sales Office, Sales Org Unit, Distribution Channel
3) Business Partner.
However, one good thing is he cannot edit the Account details like Account ID, House No, Employee Resposible, the message he get is "No authorization to change partner with authorization group" which is a
good thing.
I have tried to be precise, please let me know if you require more information.
Regards,
Dave.

I suggest the following:
Please, check whether the system works if you activate the implementation BUPA_F4_AUGRP.
In addition check the notes 559662, 674869 and 782927. Maybe the notes are already implemented but you can try then the implementation of the BADI (SE19). It should resolve your issue.
I have implemented this Badi solution before, and after activation; the search help ; nor search result list did NOT show any Business partners anymore that had an authorization group I was not allowed to see.
kind regards

Is there a consensus on how to solve security update issues?

hi,
i'm writing to you from a PPC G4 (AGP graphics) that will self-destruct by the time i switch off and (attempt) to re-start tomorrow. i will then need to do a re-install, just to see if i have gotten any replies (grinds teeth to the root). it will probably be my 8 th re-install in the past month. i just can'st takes no mores, Cap'n
<exasperation>deep breath... each time i have done a clean install, zero-ed all data when erasing (7 times over, on this occasion), repaired permissions before and after each software update, and followed every advice i could find via google to pre-empt another "Error: underlying task reported failure on exit" and the inevitable hanging grey screen; i have earned nothing but another Disk Utility report of the same problem. my HD seems to be OK - Disk Utility and Disk Warrior both say it's "verified" by SMART (although i've read this could be no assurance...). it's 40 GB, nothing else installed but NetBarrier; nothing saved on it (just 3GB of OS).
i've searched this forum over the last weekend and come across a diverse range of methods in resolving software update issues. i have tried downloading the security update and safari 3.2 directly from the site and bypassing Software Update- to no avail (but noticed that they are quite larger in MB than via Software Update??).
the one suggestion the intrigued me was installing the update via Terminal. why would this be any different? the worst thing about this is that there is no universal way that'll work for all, just individual solutions for different macs??? could my problem be exacerbated by using the double layer (double the permissions to fix?) of a Panther OS with Tiger Upgrade disk?
when i last tried to resolve the "error" with safe mode, fsck and DU Repair Disk/Permissions, which initially failed, i resorted to Disk Warrior, which re-built the directory, and "fixed" the HD. when i re-tried fsck it said the HD was "ok", but i still had the "error: underlying task..." on DU?
is there an issue with the Security Update oo8 because it's PRIMARILY for 10.5 and not Tiger? why have some encountered this problem and others escaped any seeming conflicts ? is this problem also caused by JAVA updates (there are, after all, 4 updates!)
more importantly, WHAT CAN I DOOOOOOOO?
thank you

looking at your suggestion to check /Library/Startup items in the concurrent thread ("Help needed after installing Security Update 2008-008"), i recalled that the only thing i have in this file system is 3 folders concerning Intego, NetBarrier and Virus Barrier. one of these contains the NetBarrier x4 daemon which has no image, just the apple "pencil, ruler, pen on paper" "A" image. i don't think it correctly downloaded, but this the case in every instance.
i'm running netbarrier x4 10.4.5 updated and downloaded on installation. intego Support says that there should be nothing in my "Startup/Login items". i thought they meant Login items (users>login items) because when i take the folders out of my "/Library/Startup items", NetBarrier fails to "initialize".
intego is now on newtbarrier x5, but they say x4 is fully compatible with Tiger???
my baby maybe getting on, but it's strong enough, i just need to know what's bugging it!

HP 4555 - Secure Print Issue

HI Guys,
I am having an issue with the printer. We have a few users cant print due to the fact that the printer is stating incorrect pin(Secure pin). Not sure what to start check. Does anyone have idea's?
Regards

Hi there. This is funny, or sad really. I have the exxact problem. When it doesn't print it says this printer is not connected.
That just can't be. What about firmware? While nosing around the HP site I noticed it says firmware needs to be updated.
I'm not sure how to do this.
Have a great day,
