User access control and WebStart

I'm considering tools and utils for a new project and WebStart looks like it could suit our needs just perfect.
Just one little question:
If I have a system with multiple applications controlled by WebStart, is it possible to restrict user access?
I need to be able to present different selections of applications to different types of users, is this possible to configure/code for WebStart?
Thankful for pointers

At what point do you want to treat different users
differently (like allowing access to different apps)?
Possible points could be:
- at the webserver level (different download pages,
that are access protected)
- different Web Start application caches (as far
as I understand under Win32 all users share
one cache - but this seems subject to some
property configuration in WebStart)
- within the application (the app expecting different
license keys, passwords or such)
- within Web Start (Web Start utility asks for password,
this could be achieved by writing a custom jnlp
client - think openjnlp as example
http://openjnlp.nanode.org/)
I think the first two options are not useful, as
users might get the application somewhere else
and just copy it onto their box - this is also
true for the last option.
So I would put access control into the applications
themselves.

Adobe with User Access Control

I am trying to watch videos which use Flash Player and they
will play if I turn off my User Access Control however, as soon as
I turn it back on, the videos will not play; I do not want to keep
my User Access Control off - is there some solution to this? I was
able to use flash before without turning this off but I could not
tell you what happened other than I added Adobe Reader (registered
version) and an update to my computer.

Okay, I followed the steps for another posting...
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=194&threadid =1415087&enterthread=y
However, this did not help the problem; I did everything
exactly the way it appears on these instructions however, one part
I had to do differently - where it states to place the
reset_fp10.cmd I also received an administrator error
message:
eExtracting to "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Error: Access is denied.
Cannot create C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools\reset_fp10.cmd.
Administrative privileges may be required
Therefore, I saved this file to documents and then moved it
to the C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\ folder.
Everything else followed just the way the details explained they
would so I figured it should have worked.
My main thing is, this is my laptop and I'm the only user so
I should have Admin. privileges without any of this to begin with!
I check my user settings and it is set at "Administrator
Privileges." This is making no sense; I have had this computer
three years and I went through this one other time but I cannot
remember how I fixed it - this time I am being wise and saving
everything in a note however, that's only going to help if I ever
get this issue fixed.
Can anyone help?
also feel free to contact me by an alternate (but checked
more frequently)

Difference between SAP Access Control and IDM

Hi Expert,
I have one question What is the difference between SAP Access Control and SAP Identity Management ?

Ali,
That's a good question, but a tough one.
While both applications can do most of what the other can do, it's a matter of specialization in my opinion.
Access Control is all about managing and controlling access to SAP system roles and has the ability to report on role conflicts for compliance and reporting purposes. (I'm sure I'm leaving a lot out, but maybe a GRC / AC expert can fill in more details)
SAP IDM is about managing the user life cycle with regards to landscape and enterprise systems. It will handle the creation, update and ultimately the removal (or de-provisioning) of users in SAP ABAP, SAP JAVA, LDAP, JDBC, and API based applications. It will also do Role Management through a web based UI (User management is web based as well). and as of the latest Service pack for SAP IDM 7.2, it will do attestation (limited certification) as well. It is a definite upgrade to CUA as it will work with a greater variety of systems, include workflows and approvals.
GRC will do some provisioning, but it's somewhat limited, as is IDM's compliance abilities.
The applications are designed to work together, however it does not have a great track record and the integration is typically heavily modified to work as desired.
If you have specific questions, feel free to post / DM. Obviously I am more knowledgeable about IDM, but I'll be happy to help you in any way possible.

Matt

File structure and Multi-user access/control

Hi All
Currently evaluating RH. Our plan is to use RH HTML with RoboServer and either SourceSafe or Team Foundation for source control. We will be producing the "printed" manual (PDF) and publishing online help (hopefully html via RH server) from the single source layout
Given that we will edit content in RH's XHTML editor, I'm not clear on when we should create new files or the granularity of multi-user access. We have 17 apps and I plan to use a master project and merging (because we need to link to related topics in other apps).
I'm really not sure what should constitute a file in RH. First off, is access controlled at the file level?
I want to have multiple authors editing the same manual at the same time, so do I need to break the manual into multiple small files (currently it's a single word doc)?
If I do break it into multiple files, what's the best approach: 1 file per topic (or is this a requirement)?
Finally, when I come to generate the PDF, will the files be combined. (i.e. can I have different page-breaks than I have in the RH project)?
Any pointers greatly appreciated
Regards
Mark

Hi,
First off, is access controlled at the file level?
Not sure what you mean by that. In source control, you can check in/out ever file independent. Sometimes dependent files will be automatically checked out, for instance images used in the css when you check out the style sheet.
I want to have multiple authors editing the same manual at the same time, so do I need to break the manual into multiple small files (currently it's a single word doc)?
That be the idea. Anyway, it's not a good idea to have an entire RoboHelp project in a single topic. You probably want to cut up your contents into the small chunck: topics.
If I do break it into multiple files, what's the best approach: 1 file per topic (or is this a requirement)?
In RoboHelp a topic is a HTML file. RoboHelp doesn't force you to split up content into one or more topics. If you are creating help for the web, you want the information to be organized in relatively small chunck so users can quickly scan through it.
Finally, when I come to generate the PDF, will the files be combined. (i.e. can I have different page-breaks than I have in the RH project)?
Not sure what you mean by page breaks. As RoboHelp creates HTML files, there are no page breaks such as in paper manuals. When you create a PDF, you combine the topics you need into a single document.
If a PDF is required for you, you may want to consider not using RoboHelp for your sources. A PDF created by RoboHelp is useful for internal use, but it never seems to get good enough to give to customers. Personally, when a PDF version of a manual is required, I create the manual in FrameMaker and link or import the book into RoboHelp. You can also link Word documents, so you may want to play around with that before deciding whether to use Word, RoboHelp or FrameMaker for your source.

EP 6.0 SP2 KM Access control and version problems

Hi,
We have installed EP 6.0 SP2 and have configured KM. We have created a File system repository pointing to a shared folder in the local drive. Now, we are facing the following 2 problems:
1. Access Control for Resources (folders and files) are not working..i.e, even though, we have given 'Read' access to a particular folder for a given portal user, he is still able to delete, rename, etc. How do we tackle this? Is there any property to be set for ACL to work.
ACL Manager Cache : ca_rsrc_acl
Security Manager : AclSecurityManager
are used for this particular file system repository.
2. For the very same file system repository, we are not able to get the option 'versioning' for any of the folders. while for other folders in Content Management (CM) repository, 'versioning' property appears. Why is this so? Is there any setting to be done for the property 'versioning' to appear for a file system repository?
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pavithra

Hi,
Thanks so much for the quick response. It was quite helpful. The problem is that while trying to set up W2Ksecurity manager, the system component monitor shows the following error:
Startup Error: Exception during start up of sub-manager: The W2kSecurityManager can only be run under Windows 2000 operating systems.
Portal server is installed on Microsoft Windows 2003 server. But the file system repository is mapped to a shared drive whose host machine runs Microsoft windows 2000 professional.
My Questions:
1. Do I have to have Microsoft Windows 2000 ONLY for portal installation.
2. Can I not have a shared folder mapped to another local machine's directory
3. Also, Any ideas on whats the max length of file path for KM..Because, its likely that the file path length may extend to more than 200 characters..
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Online file storage with access control and file manager integrated to APEX website

I have APEX 4.2 website with few user accounts. I would like to share approximately 100 GB of documents to users. Some documents will be public (in some public folder) and everyone with account in my website will be able to download that public files. And some files/folders will be with restricted access and only user with appropriate credentials will be able to download it.
I would like to find some cheap cloud file storage.
Some storage that offers plugin/component = file manager that will be integrated to my APEX website and authentication will be transparent to my users (authentication with some API or URL). Every user will see only his files. I want some ready to use component and call only minimum API.
I would like to integrate that storage to my website or call some user specific URL and redirect my user to some page with file manager.
All files will be read only for all users.
Thanks for some tips

what will you be using for your file manager? Or do you even know yet?
I do not have tons of experience but if I had to come up with a solution I would build the interface with APEX and use the database to store the files inside so you can control access.
You can create a procedure that takes in parameters like username, session id, encrypted session id from the browser cookie and either return the file or give the user an error message letting them know they arent authorized. You could use plugins to give the users a better file managing experience like the 'multiple file upload' plugin that allows AJAX based multiple file uploading.
Id put this on an amazon EC2 cloud micro instance. It's uber cheap.

More than 1 user access control of vi via web browser

Hi all,
Currently I've a vi that need to share it with other PCs using web browser (eg: IE) I've tried using Web Publishing Tools and I noticed that only 1 pc at a time can grant access control of the vi. May I know is there any methods or other 3rd party software that could possibly able to give multiple PCs to control one vi simultaneously over the net using web browser? THANKS!!!...

Hello,
I’m not so sure that using VNC or remote desktop to have
multiple users control LabVIEW is really in-line with our license policy. I suppose if you built your program into an executable
and had the VNC users access the exe program they wouldn't really be using the development
environment so I suppose this would be ok…
I found a tutorial which might help. Check out: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/bc79065d8b2e0d0886256c590072a454.
Hopefully this will help out for now! Let us know if you have questions-

Authenticate users & Access Control

Hi All,
(First apologies if this is not the correct forum)
I'm hoping someone can give me a little help or advice on
options available to me.
Using flex2 I have built a fairly simple flash app that
currrently has two panels,
panel1- this presents data in a datagrid which connects to a
mysql4.x db via amfphp1.9.
panel2- this presents textinput boxes and a submit button
(data is submited via php script to the myqsl db)
NB: All my users authenticate via LDAP (novell edirectory)
& there are two kinds of users (Teachers & Students)
What I want to know is:
1- can I allow my users to login to the flash app via their
LDAP usernames? (if so how could I do this)
2- can I assign different rights to the users? (e.g. When a
teacher logs in they get access to view & input data, &
when a student logs in the ONLY have access to view data)
NB: I work in a school so I don't have the budget to buy CF,
FDS. I also do not want to use the userbase in the mysql db, as
this would then require me to maintain two userbases (e.g. LDAP
& MySQL) hence twice the workload.
Any help or suggestions to best approach this problem would
be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Danny

that was my instinct exactly, we do have an LDAP here however this application has a max of 3 users roughly with one as a supper-user, so im not sure if its worth using the LDAP API at present
i am tempted to build and access control page initially, however we are all new to APEX here and were a little worried about security issues mainly because of the nature of the information we are holding this time.
thanks for your thoughts on the matter

Time Capsule Access Control and Extended Network Question

I have a Time Capsule where I have set up a wireless network access list…and extended the network using an Airport Express unit. The Airport Express unit also has settings for an Access Control list. Do these need to be the same as the those for the network from TC that it is extending…or does that happen automatically…and if not what on earth are they for?
Thanks for any help…this doesn't seem clear from what I've read/seen.
James

Unfortunately, they are not automatically applied to each base station in an extended network. You would have to manually enter the exact same list in each base station.

User access control

We need to control access to certain application functionality in our system.
We are currently using the application users' role(s) to decide whether access is granted to for instance view products with a value greater than £100.
The role which allows access is therefore hardcoded within the application.
With an increase of users and also restricted functionality access within the database, the number of roles and its complexity is growing. We need to replace it with something else.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Role Based Access Control and FIM

Hi,
Would these statements about RBAC and FIM (not BHOLD) be true:
RBAC in FIM Sync is essentially governed by the built-in FIM Groups (e.g. FIMSyncAdmins, etc)
RBAC in FIM Portal is essentially governed by FIM Portal Sets & MPRs
Thanks,
SK
PS. not looking at BHOLD above, just FIM

This can be true in a narrow sense. If we are just thinking of access to FIM and not on the managed organizational resources.
FIM Synch:-
Through FIM Synch groups, we are just controlling the access to FIM Synch service. We are not separating access based on roles(say organizational role).
For FIM Portal, again it can be true if we are thinking of access to FIM Portal only and not the managed organizational resources.
Thanks,
Mann

Multi-user access control

User #1 opens a PDF on a server and starts making changes. User #2 opens the same file and starts making changes. User #2 for example can create sticky notes and make lots of comments. When User #2 tries to save his changes he's denied as User #1 opened the file first. Is there a way (like with MS office) that User #2 will be warned when opening the file that his version is read-only?
Thanks!

Sorry, no.
Acrobat/Reader do not have their own file locking system (as Office does), so they have no idea that another user is accessing the document until they send the operating system a 'save' instruction, and get an error saying it's not allowed.

Query users, access level and last logon date

Hello, Does anybody know how to query Essbase to look up users accesslevel and last logon date? Rey Fiesta

It can be done using the API. Access level is a little complicated because it can be by individual or group they belong to and it of course is different by application/database

How do we check user access control in Apex

Hi All,
In my application we have three different roles like
1 = Write/Edit
2 = Write/Edit/Export
3 = View Only
Based on the roles i have dsiplay the show and hide few things. How do achieve this property in apex?
Thanks,
Anoo..

Always include the following information when asking a question
Full APEX version
Full DB/version/edition/host OS
Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
Browser(s) and version(s) used
Theme
Template(s)
Region/item type(s)
And always search on oracle documentation and apex forum before posting a question
