Use of Adobe Policy server to implement security functions

Hello Folks,
Has anyone explored the possibilities to implement security features for adobe offline scenario using Adobe Policy Server?
Is there any other means by which I can implement features like password protected or encryption in offlince scenario?
SAP documentation has pointers to Adobe Policy server, but no comprehensive documentation found on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Chitrali

Hi,
You can add security features like password protection and limits usage, such as no printing, etc. Here is a link to the Java API documentation http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/pdfdocument/api/IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext.html#setProtection(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.WDPDFDocumentProtectPermission[])
I believe you can do the same stuff with the ABAP API.
You have to check if it works in your version, because sometimes the API is there but doesn't work 100%.
You can also sign docs (there is some info about that in the above Java API link).
Hope this helps.

  • ACROBAT 8 - HOW TO CONNECT AND USE THE LiveCycle Policy Server?

    Hello everybody!!! I've just bought the ACROBAT 8.0, and I'm trying to use the LiveCycle Policy Server. The point is, I couldn't connect to the server.... is there any especific way to do it? It is the same configuration to connect to a normal web site server, right?
    I need to control a copyrighted PDF over the web restricting the massive copy
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    No it's not exactly like connecting to a normal web server. The connection must be made via https, not http. So the app server has to be configured for SSL. Also the connection will not be made in Acrobat if there are ANY warnings about the SSL cert. So if you can't go to https://serverName:serverPort in IE and get there with no warnings then you won't be able to connect via Policy Server. Also, you can't connect to Policy Server via Acrobat using a Policy Server admin user. It must be a user who doesn't have admin privileges.

  • Kerberos authentication adobe policy server

    Hi,
    when a user uses the browser to log into adobe policy server, he also gets a ticket from kerberos? Or does this just happen, when he uses for example the Adobe Acrobat Professional?
    thx for help...
    bye

    Hi Raymund,
    Currently Windows Kerberos Authentication is only supported from Acrobat and other client applications we support with plugins (MS Office).

  • Using Windows Network Policy Server to authenticate Prime Infrastructure 1.4 admin access

    I am using Prime Infrastructure 1.4 and I am needing to set up RADIUS Authencation.  I am using Microsoft Network Policy Server.   I have done all of the setup on both systems.  I have matched up the settings the best I can on both systems.  I am trying to use CHAP.  I keep getting username or passwrod is not valid.  In a effort to test I changed the Authentication type to PAP (I do not want to use this because it is not encrypted) But in a effort of testing I changed the setting on both the NPS and on Prime.  I am now able to log in.  Changing back to CHAP it fails and states the Username or Password is invalid.  SO, PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Ok, I was able to resolve this over the weekend.  The actual fix is a little complicated.  You can find the full explination here: http://technologyordie.com/windows-nps-radius-authentication-of-cisco-prime-infrastructure
    The basics are that Prime (1.3 is the version I am using at this point) expects two AV pairs from radius.  They are as as follows:
    NCS:role0=Admin
    NCS:virtual-domain0=ROOT-DOMAIN
    "Admin" is the name of the group you would like your users to have access at and "ROOT-DOMAIN" is the name of the domain you would like them to have access to.
    For TACACS+ I suspect the AV Pairs are going to be the same but I have not been able to test that.

  • Using Windows Network Policy Server to authenticate Prime Infrastructure 1.2 admin access

    Dear all,
    How can I authenticate admin access to the Prime infrastructure 1.2 using AAA mode RADIUS with Windows Network Policy Server as RADIUS server? I find some information using ACS as RADIUS server but cannot find how to for Windows NPS.
    I try to configure the NPS but an error prompted when logging in to PI using an account in the NPS server, "No authorization information found for Remote Authenticated User. Please check the correctness of the associated task(s) and Virtual Domain(s) in the remote server"

  • Policy Server Document displaying no content inside Adobe Acrobat 7.0

    When I apply a policy to a document and login in I am able to view the document the first time. However when I try to re-open the document, it will open in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 but open up with a grey background with no content. We are currently piloting the adobe Policy Server. I have ab out 35 external users on this policy and all of them are active users.

    Hi Stacie,
    Could you provide more detail on what happens when a document won't open. For example:
    * Is a gray background displayed?
    * Do you receive an error message (if so, what is it exactly)?
    * What client OS are you using (version/service pack/etc)?
    * What version of Acrobat are you using (7.0.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.5, etc.)?
    Any more detail (even little ones) can be useful in diagnosing the problem.
    Thanks,

  • Is there any Java API to interact/integrate with Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server

    Hi,
    We are already using Adobe LiveCycle Policy server & has manual process in place to send documents to clients.
    Going forward we want to automate this document generation process. We are using Java, JEE in our application.
    We are planning to use below steps to automate this process.
    1) Administrator will create a Template in Adobe Policy Server and will map users intended to receive mails with this template
    2) Our application will interact with Adobe Policy Server and use Template ID to generate PDF document and send mails to client.
    Can anyone please let me know if there is any Java API which can be used to perform the above second step.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Non English caracters in Policy Server invitation mail

    Letters that are not in the English alphabet do not come out as they should when invitation and confirmation mails are sent from Adobe Policy Server.
    In my case the Norwegian letters Æ Ø Å are not showing correct. But I'm guessing this goes for all other non eng. letters.
    Example Š= å
    I have installed Adobe Policy Server (automatic install) with JBOSS/Tomcat and use the IIS smtp server. Does anyone know where I have to do changes to get things correct?
    Regards
    Michael Sletvold

    Hello Chris
    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. However I can not get it to work. It said utf8 and not utf-8 in the jboss-run.bat so I have tired both entries in the run.bat file (one at a time):
    run.bat
    set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=utf-8
    set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=utf8
    I also changed the jboss-run.bat to -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 without any sucsess.
    The regional settings on the win2003 server is set to Norwegian and I have a full server restart after each time I make a change in the *.bat file. Any tip on what I might be doing wrong would be appretiated.
    Regards

  • Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

    Hi,
    I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
    In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
    During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
    When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
    The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
    090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
    090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **

    The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
    I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
    Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
    Thanks
    Senthil

    I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint.  I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
    It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
    Hope this helps anyone....

  • PDF file compatibility between LiveCycle ES and Adobe Document Server V6.0

    We currently are using Adobe PDF Generator V7.0 and Adobe Document Server V6.0. We generate PDF files (using PDF generator V7.0) from office documents and then add a coversheet, to the generated PDF, and fill some form data using the Adobe Document Server. Now we are upgrading to Office 2007 and for this we will need Adobe LiveCycle ES PDF Generator for PDF conversions. If we move to LiveCycle ES can we still use Adobe Document Server for merging PDF's, and filling form Data? i.e Is the PDF file generated by LiveCycle ES compatible with Adobe Document Server?? Will there be any problems with this combination?
    We could as well use LiveCycle ES Document Output for merging PDF files and fill form data with LiveCycle ES Forms. We do'nt want to do this as this would mean we need to by additional licenses of the product. The functionality that could be carried out by Adobe Document Server alone requires two seperate LiveCycle ES products to be purchased.

    Doc Server was replaced by Assembler so you would migrate to that and not Output. The Assembler is part of the foundation so I am not sure how it is priced when buying PDF/G. You need to speak to your sales rep about this.

  • Network Policy Server Policies

    We are using Windows Network Policy Server application as a radius server for VPN connections using windows server 2008 R2.
    On my firewall, we currently have only 1 VPN profile and we have a Network Policy that saysif they are not part of this windows group, they cannot connect to the VPN.
    I have setup two additional vpn profiles for different vendors, etc and set up the test accounts to use different groups and setup new network policies for each one. The issue I am running into is all NPS network policies work with each vpn profile. I would
    like to know how can you setup a policy so they differenciate between each vpn policy so if user is on vpn profile 1 it will use network policy 1 and not allow them access to any of the other vpn profile 2 or 3 because they do not meet the requirements for
    them based off the network policy that is defined.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you wanted the NPS pociles to work differing from the firewall rules/profiles. If I misunderstood anything, please feel free to let me know.
    Based on my experience, it seems that NPS won't do that with firewall profiles. If you want to define different network policies to different user group. You can select the specific user group when specifying conditions of the network policy. More information:

  • How to speed up render to h.264 in CS6? Adobe QT32 Server.exe causes long delay

    (Before you say "Don't use AE to render to h.264; use AME!" – I'd love to, but AME isn't controllable from the command line / batch files the way aerender.exe is)
    When I try to render a brain dead simple composition (30 seconds, black background with the word "DUMMY" centered), aerender takes nearly four minutes to complete. This is a Windows Server 2012 box with 32 CPUs (16 cores+16 HT), about ~60GB of memory and I believe it's on 10Gb ethernet. Turning multi-processing off doesn't have effect on the pause.
    If I view the task in task viewer, NO CPU is being used and Adobe QT32 Server.exe is running. Analyzing the wait chain for aerender.exe says that a thread is waiting for network i/o to complete (I assume this is Adobe QT32 Server.exe, which uses TCP to talk to Quicktime). After about three minutes, the render continues (and goes blazingly quick, as expected).
    WTF?
    How can I get around this long, useless pause? Is there an alternative h.264 output module that doesn't use Quicktime?
    Thanks in advance!

    The flaw is here:
    This is a Windows Server 2012 box
    Adobe desktop programs are generally not officially supported on server operating systems. Whatever issues you have are probably due to things like local users vs. network users, disk quota, specific group policies or plain and simple another process occupying or blocking the same port that the QT server is using. In any case, this is nothing we can figure out for you. You have to sit down and work your way through the server's administration tools, turn off stuff, change user permissions. Check the event logs for conflicting processes or use tools like Sysinternals' Process Monitor or Wireshark to track down port collisions and otehr problems.
