Single form for secure zone registration and web app submission?

Hi
Is it possible to setup a form where a user can simultaneously register for a secure zone and submit a web app entry? The knowledge base / tutorials describe a two step process (web form for secure zone registration and web app input form for web app submission), but I would like users to be able to do both with a single form
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

In order to have a customer create a web app item they must be logged into the secure zone already. I've seen some instructions on how to let users submit web app items outside a secure zone but that requires creating a dummy anonymous user and logging them into the secure zone via javascript. You could use this method and once it's submitted you'll have to manually attach the web app item to the correct user in the BC Admin. That might not work for you but you can read more about that at http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1784
You can't use the above solution with the current user's username and password because those tags are only available when the user is logged into a secure zone already. If your signup form needs to be filled out first, the user isn't logged in.
Your best bet is to have the public signup form redirect the user after submission to an "Add item" form you have created. Maks sure that form is in a secure zone so when they add the item it is attached to their account.
If you don't want to redirect them to a secure zone and want it more seamless you could try to use some javascript/ajax to submit the form via javascript and after the form is submitted, use the javascript code in the above to log them in (be careful to use the https://yoursite.worldsecuresystems.com url if you are passing username and password info gathered from your form to log them in via javascript/ajax). Once they are logged in via the javascript you can use more ajax to fetch a page's HTML that resides in a secure zone. This HTML returned from the javascript can be your "add web app item" form and since they were logged in via javascript (securely, right?) this HTML should contain the right information. Insert this returned HTML into your form container that held the original signup form and they can continue to add a web app item without having to log in.
This is theory and might work but you'll have to start experimenting with it via javascript. I haven't actually tried to do this so hopefully some other community members who might have tried this can weigh in here as well.
Good luck!

Set expiration dates for Secure Zone Memberships

We run an online exercise company offering memberships with access to exercise videos so users can exercise online - we sell memberships by the week, month, or month to month memberships. We also sell a beginner courses. The site has been built in Adobe Muse, integrated with Business Catalyst.
For the time-based memberships we have inserted a snippet of code in Business Catalyst that limits the amount of time members have access to the secure zone where we keep the videos - this is tied to the form members fill out when they purchase. The issue is that when the entire Muse site is republished or just the page with the form - the code disappears. So we have to go into each form and reinsert the code. This has been going on for quite some time. Below is most of the code we've been using - which we found in Business Catalyst Forum Section a couple years ago:
function setExpiryDate( )
var dat=new Date();
dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + 8);
var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun", "Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
var pretty = dat.getDate() + "-" + monthname[dat.getMonth()] + "-" + dat.getFullYear();
document.getElementById("ExpiryDate").value = pretty;
};setExpiryDate( );
We are looking to 'permanently' anchor the code in the form.

Hi
If you are using BC secure zones then you can setup the expiry date from BC end only, regarding the code that you are using , I believe you are trying to use specific form for secure zone sign up and limiting the expiry date.
Regarding form code being stripped off, are you submitting the form once from site front end and then also code is stripped off ?
Please include site url in your response.
Thanks,

Form:The user sees on the screen a single page, for the second page (and to fill it in) he will click a button "next page"!

Hello, sorry for my english!
I am currently creating a form. This form contains 20 pages. For more comfier to fill it in, I want it to be loaded 1 page to 1 page. The user sees on the screen a single page, for the second page (and to fill it in) he will click a button "next page"!
Is it possible to do this with adobe acrobat pro?
In the case of a negative answer, can Indesign do this?
thank you.

Technically it's possible to use a script to prevent someone from going to the next page unless they click a button, but I think it's a bad idea and very user un-friendly. You can add a button that will take someone to the next page, but don't try to restrict them from doing so themselves if they so wish.

How to create an online fillable form for mobile devices, tablets and smartphones.

How can I create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices, tablets and smarphones?
I already created an "online fillable form" with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for PCs and MACs but this form can not be filled using mobile devices, it can only be downloaded.
Thanks.

Hi George,
I gather from your reply that I won't be able to create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Correct?
If Adobe does not have another software similar to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, would you please suggest me any other means of creating "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices?
Would you think that an HTML developed form would be a fair substitute for the PDF fillable forms that I use for PCs and MACs?
Thanks,
Alvaro

Host Header Site Collection and Web App Setup - Thoughts

I am trying to understand relation between AAM and web app extension .Please share your expert opinion. I have not seen any TechNet article talking about it clearly.
Here it goes: in 2010 it was recommended Not to use AAM with IIS bindings without extending the web application. This was mentioned in several TechNet articles also its a known “Mistake #4” on TechNet articles.
So question is, is that still the same case in 2013?
Most of the times it is recommended to remove web app host header from IIS if you are using this web app for HHSC, otherwise sites will not be accessible. I have find no issues by leaving web app host header and adding more bindings for host header site
collections any thoughts on this ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I found some articles for helping understand Extend web application and
Alternate access mappings.
“If you want to expose the same content in a Web application to different types of users by using additional URLs or authentication methods, you can extend an existing Web application into a new zone. When you extend the Web application into a new zone,
you create a separate Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site to serve the same content, but with a unique URL and authentication type. An extended Web application can use up to five network zones (Default, Intranet, Internet, Custom, and Extranet). For
example, if you want to extend a Web application so that customers can access content from the Internet, you select the Internet zone and choose to allow anonymous access and grant anonymous users read-only permissions. Customers can then access the same Web
application as internal users, but through different URLs and authentication settings..”
After you extend web application, there is a new site created in IIS but the content are the same. We extend it to a new zone for different authentication methods, so that we could support different security between Internet site, Intranet site and Extranet
site.
“Alternate access mappings direct users to the correct URLs during their interaction with SharePoint 2013. Alternate access mappings enable SharePoint 2013 to map web requests to the correct web applications and sites, and they enable SharePoint 2013 to
serve the correct content back to the user.”
AAM is to offer different urls to users to access one site. Sometimes the url of a site is not easy to remember , we could use AAM to create simple url.

Last Data Update in Visual Composer and Web App Designer

Hello,
We want to show the last data update in query result and we used 2
differents ways to do it: throught Web Application Designer (SP 12) and
Visual Composer (SP 10).
In query result of Web Application Designer, the last data update came
in GMT0 and in visual composer came ok (GMT - 3, that's our time zone).
This value (ROLLUPTIME) is taken out of the RSMDATASTATE table and this is used in SAPLRSMDATASTATE program, that is called by Web App Designer.
Why does the difference exist between: Web App Designer and Visual Composer for last data update?
So, I need more information how the Visual Composer brings the correct value (in our time zone) and Web App Designer in GMT0.

Pablo Moraes

Hi Mario,
Yes, i used the same user and the same query to access the information. But, how can i check the mapping from my VC user to the BI user?

Site search and web app search !

how can I get a one web app search function to search all the fields within the web app. It seem I need a search field for each data fiefield in the web app.
Ideally my clinet wants a holistic search so that it will search all content within the site - most of which is within web apps ?
also does anyone know hoew you can edit the the result results icon - so if the web app is a news instead on the box I could put a news icon ?

Liam, thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the client wants a single search in the header of the entire site that will search both pages and web app content (without missing the custom field data), So I guess i am/was looking for a work around rather than a replacement.

I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

PogoPossum,
My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
Does this help?

Stop a stand-alone and web app from starting in an App Server

I want to programmatically shut down an application from starting, e.g., mid-way in its start, if a certain condition is raised. I do not want code as System.exit(int) as this API will terminate the entire JVM and more than 1 application running in the JVM will be shut down. My goal is to stop the start process of only one application that is running in the same shared JVM. The JVM is running more than 1 application.
Obviously, throwing a Runtime exception (throw new RuntimeException())does not stop the application - application still gets started.
I want a solution that will work for both stand-alone application and a web application. However, if I have to use two different approaches (one approach for stand-alone, another for web), I will be fine with that approach.
I am using WebSphere 6.1 as application server.
Please suggest what are my options to stop the application from start for both stand-alone and web application.

There is of course no general solution to that.
Consider the following.
1. Initial thread starts 10 threads, and then it exits.
2. One thread determines that exit should occur.
3. How do other threads get terminated?
...and a web application.Conceptually that is a bit suspect. If you don't want it to run then the simple solution is don't install it. In general you don't want a web app to "exit" if a known error condition occurs. For example it shouldn't exit if the database connection fails but instead the behavior should change until the database connection is restored.

Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open, now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Best practice for secure zone various access

I am setting up a new site with a secure zone.
There will be a secure zone. Once logged in, users will have access to search and browse medical articles/resources
This is how an example may go:
The admin user signs up Doctor XYZ to the secure zone.
The Doctor XYZ is a heart specialist, so he only gets access to web app items that are classified as "heart".
However, he may also be given access to other items, eg: "lung" items.
Or, even all items. It will vary from user to user.
Is there any way to separate areas within the secure zone and give access to those separate areas (without having to give access to individual items - which will be a pain because there will be hundreds of records; and also without having the user log out and log into another secure area)

my only issue with this is that I have no idea how to open up File Sharing to ONLY allow users who are connecting from the VPN
Simple - don't expose your server to the outside world.
As long as you're running on a NAT network behind some firewall or router that's filtering traffic, no external traffic can get to your server unless you setup port forwarding - this is the method used to run, say, a public web server where you tell the router/firewall to allow incoming traffic on port 80 to get to your server.
If you don't setup any port forwarding, no external traffic can get in.
There are additional steps you can take - such as running the software firewall built into Mac OS X to tell it to only accept network connections from the local network, but that's not necessary in most cases.
And 2. The best way to ensure secure AND encrypted file sharing via the server...
VPN should take care of most of your concerns - at least as far as the file server is concerned. I'd be more worried about what happens to the files once they leave the network - for example have you ensured that the remote user's local system is sufficiently secured so that no one can get the documents off his machine once they're downloaded?

Why can't I add a secure zone to my web site in the admin panel?

I would like to add a secure zone (or add files to the site) to one of my web sites but I don't have that option in this account. What is the problem here and how to I fix this? In my main account I have the more options under the "Site Manager" tab. However, under this account I only have two options, Web Forms and System emails. Need help ASAP.

Hi Mr. Baker,
The option of secure zone depends on your site plan. However, I'd suggest you to please login to your site, hover mouse on your name at the top and go to My Details. Scroll down and make sure "Enable online editing" is checked. If its checked already and still not getting the secure zone option, please provide us the site URL and we'll investigate the issue.

Ssl and web app server: there's content which is not secure

Hello,
We have implemented ssl in our intranet site ( web front server, Web app server, sql server - everything ) .
Yet, In Https (and I.E) and document library , when I press the "..." , I get an warning: "only secure content is displayed" and the file preview doesn't show anything. If I select "show all content", the file preview shows
the file.
If I press "View in browser", I get the same message. If I press "show all content" I see the file, otherwise the file doesn't show.
Looking at the fiddler, it looks like some connections with the (sharepoint) application server aren't secured.
Sample unsecured http gets are:
http://ApplicationServer.mysite.gr/wv/ResReader.ashx?n=p1.img&WOPIsrc=http%3A%2F%Intranet%2Fsites%2FDNY%2F_vti_bin%2Fwopi.ashx%2Ffiles%2F42da77c08cd94b67a1c413ae39a71c58&access_token=eyJ0eBIgBigToken
http://ApplicationServer.mysite.com/wv/ResReader.ashx?n=p1.img&v=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000602&usid=5fae4f7f-d4d6-4a21-a465-2fe24ded9519&WOPIsrc=http%3A%2F%2FIntranetSite%2Fsites%2FDNY%2F_vti_bin%2Fwopi.ashx%2Ffiles%2F42da77c08cd94b67a1c413ae39a71c58&access_token=BIgBigToken
- this one is an image of the file.
Having these unsecure gets, I have problems accepting that the site is totally secured.
is the (sharepoint) application server the source of the problem?
Thank you
Christos

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to show all content after you implemented ssl in intranet site.
Please make sure you configure SSL correctly. You can refer to:
Configure SSL for SharePoint 2013
IE does provide an option which can be configured to automatically display all content, both secure and non-secure content, on web pages that come with mixed content.
You can display all mixed contents in IE to suppress and disable any warning message on secure and/or non-secure content.
More information:
