Trouble with Privacy & Security

Hello Mac-ers,
I turned on the feature to need to enter password after screen saver starts. I didn't like it so I turned it off....so I thought. The 'Require password...' box is unchecked but after an hour or so, when I return to my computer, the screen saver (dropping photos which are accessing them on an external drive) is frozen and when I move my mouse, the mouse cursor kind of 'erases' the frozen screen saver (in a block-y pattern) revealing the login grey screen underneath and requires me to log in.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks,
Tom

Is there a way to 'reset' those preferences? Is there a pref file I can trash and then restart?

This issue was resolved! I didnt think about restoring my computer to factory settings but I did and now my computer works like brand new. basically, just back up your files and do the following:

Trouble with java security manager

I have set up a security manager for my webapp running on Tomcat. The application enables the user to write his own scripts using Javascript, that's why I need to set up a security manager.
Using Rhino as script interpreter, it is possible to use the standard java security mechanisms, e.g. using the security manager to handle the scripts' rights.
I've added the following lines to my policy file:
// give server all rights
grant codeBase "file:webapp/WEB-INF/-" {
     permission java.security.AllPermission;
//rights granted to scripts
grant codeBase "file:restrictedClient" {
     permission java.io.FilePermission "webapp/WEB-INF/lib/js.jar", "read";
I've assigned the scripts to the "restrictedClient" code base. However, the script execution fails as the script does not have the permission to access or define classes of any package (even standard java packages like java.lang or java.math).
In java.security, I have found the following comment:
# List of comma-separated packages that start with or equal this string
# will cause a security exception to be thrown when
# passed to checkPackageDefinition unless the
# corresponding RuntimePermission ("defineClassInPackage."+package) has
# been granted.
# by default, no packages are restricted for definition, and none of
# the class loaders supplied with the JDK call checkPackageDefinition.
#package.definition=
I now wonder, why the checkPackageDefinition is checked though there's no entry for any package to be checked.
Extending the policy file like
grant codeBase "file:restrictedClient" {
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.webapp/WEB-INF/classes/org/mozilla/javascript";
     permission java.io.FilePermission "webapp/WEB-INF/lib/js.jar", "read";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.java.io";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.java.util";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.java.net";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.java.sql";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.java.lang";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.java.math";
     permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "de.methodpark.pkit.facade.impl";
works, but an unpleasant feeling remains :-).
Rhino creates an own classloader for script execution. Could that be the source of the strange behaviour?
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Matthias

David,
I was glad to see your post regarding WLS 9.2 and the troubles with enabling Java Security Manager.
Were you able to learn any more on things like - why doesn't the admin console work when the security manager is enabled with the default policy file. Also, why is it so difficult to add permissions for your own applications and get them to actually work.
I'd be curious to see if you were able to get it to work or if you have any insights or resources that can help with this as we are really struggling to get a restrictive policy file that works.
Thanks,
D

Trouble with my secure network

Hello, just got my new Ipod touch today, it is the latest generation(32GB) and I'm having a **** of a time connecting to our houses secure wireless network.
No matter how many times I input the password, I always get a denial, saying that it could not connect to the network ,now, I am using a D-link wireless router, and I have tried turning off the security all-together(which worked), but as soon as I turned it back on it kicked me from the network, and I couldnt log-in again.
The damndest thing is that not one day ago, my brother got a ipod touch himself(it came as a free gift with a macbook pro purchased by my father), it is a 16GB from the previous generation of Ipod touches, but it works just fine with our secure Wi-fi, but mine wont for whatever reason.

The only security I haven't tried yet is WEP, and thats just because it changes the password to something I don't know.
I actually just got off the phone with a "product expert" who said that this is a widespread firmware issue and that they were working on making a downloadable fix. Honestly I'm not sure if he is to be believed or not, but judging from all the posts I found using google, I certainly believe the bit about it being wide-spread issue.
By the way LE, do you have the first generation of Ipod touch? Just curious seeing as how my brother's similarly had no problems connecting.

Trouble with Content Security Policy (CSP)

In the latest Firefox 33 there seem to be an issue with Content Security Policy (CSP) and how it handles url that are url encoded.
For instance when some CSP directive is set to like https://mywebsite.com/application/do;jsessiond=1234 - it will get URL encoded so the ; gets replaced by %3B.
In Firefox 32 and earlier this worked, but not in this new solution.

It may be that it needs a header application/x-www-form-urlencoded is this included in your url request as well as charset UTF-8?
If you select a different encoding via web dev [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURI]
This sounds like what it did before? [http://www.justarrangingbits.org/firefox-magic-decoding-address-bar/index.html]

Im having concerns with privacy/security on my browser and settings. Someone seems to have hacked into my account and changes all my settings;

So someone seems to have hockey my browser and has changed all my settings in my Firefox someone seems to be able to uninstall my firefox browser and change all my settings and pair my mobile phone to a computer through Firefox to sync all my information my mobile to computer that I have not done I don't own a computer just think my information to sync my information. Do you have any suggestions about what I should do on this ? I don't know where to go or turn on the security issue. thank you

Is your Firefox for Android currently connected to a Firefox Sync account? If so, you should find a Firefox account in your Android accounts list, and you can remove it. Please see the last section of this article: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_remove-an-android-device-from-firefox-sync
I'm not sure whether this is one of the settings that is part of your Google account, but if you are not sure how secure your Google account is, you definitely should change that password and/or check Google's suggestions on next steps.

Anyone else having trouble with flash player over working the processor since the security update?

Hi everyone-
Since the last security update (flash player version 11.7.700.169) I have been having trouble with flash player beating the daylights out of my processor. My OS is Windows XP. This only happens on some sites, not all. For example netflix and amazon are fine, but acorn and huffington post videos send the processor into overdrive. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance :-)

I have XP on some machines, and I do not experience any such problems with 11.7.700.179. If I were, I would try two things
update the graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
update to the latest Flash Player beta, or wait until the new version is released later this week

I am having trouble with billing. Itunes says the security code on my credit card is invalid but the number is correct. Please advise.

You'll need to contact your bank about this my friend.

Privacy/Security Issue with Adobe Flash 10

Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but there is a
bizarre (if minor) privacy/security issue with Adobe Flash Player
10. I came across it while attempting to upload a file to Flickr.
Previous versions of AFP do not exhibit this problem.
Specifics: using Firefox 3.x, Vista.
The problem: When Flickr calls the "open file" dialogue in
Flash 10 (in order to upload files) via the "Upload Photos and
Videos" link, at the bottom of the dialogue, to the right of the
"File Name" box, sits a common UI element that brings up a dropdown
menu of what appear to be (or at least are supposed to be) recently
viewed or downloaded or accessed files. Actually I'm not sure how
Flash 10 compiles or accesses this list of files, but at any rate,
a list of files come up.
The problem is that, as far as I can tell, the list of files
that come up reference a long list of files, some that are very old
and that no longer exist, and that there is no way that I can find
to clear the list. This is a minor security/privacy issue, as
generally there should be a way to prevent a dialogue from
displaying a long list of past-accessed files by clearing a cache
somewhere or other -- imagine if it was impossible to clear the
history of a web browser, for example -- this would be considered a
pretty significant privacy issue. I have tried everything from
flushing the browser cache to uninstalling and reinstalling the
browser to uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash to using the
Flash Settings Manager to clear out the Flash saved sites to
turning off Vista indexing to clearing out Vista's Recent Items
list. None of these actions did anything to clear out this list of
files. I can find no references to these files anywhere when I use
Vista Search (with unindexed and system files searched as well),
and I can find no reference to the files anywhere in the registry
(I checked just in case Flash 10 was storing this index in some
really bizarre place.) I've linked to a screenshot below of what
I'm talking about -- most of the files listed below were deleted a
long, long time ago, and so I have no idea why this dialogue refers
to them.
Screenshot
Is there a simple work-around for this that I'm unaware of?
Even if there is, there needs to be some more obvious way to clear
out this list. Where is this information being stored, and what
criteria does this list use to "put a file on the list"?

Thanks for putting me on the right scent. That's what I'd
originally thought, too -- it's just that the file-> open dialog
was giving an entirely different list of files with other
applications, so I assumed that it must be Flash that was the
culprit. Turns out the reason it was different with Flickr was
because it was restricting the file results via a long string of
video and picture filetypes that are compatible with the Flickr
service.
It turns out the information I'm looking for is buried deep
within the registry. The only way to clear out this list of files
is to delete the following key (or specific subkeys):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU
Seems more than a little stupid to store such information in
the registry if security is your concern. Vista beguiles me
sometimes.

Hi Cara154,
If you are having issues receiving the email verification for your security questions, you may find the following article helpful:
When you provide a rescue email address during Apple ID creation, you will receive an email from Apple to verify that the email address provided is accurate. If you don't see an email from Apple asking you to verify your rescue email address, you may want to check your SPAM folder. If you still haven't received the email from Apple, you can sign in to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) to resend your rescue email address. To resend your verification email, click on Password & Security. Then, click the Resend link located in the Rescue Email Address section.
