I have a Delphi 5 executable that calls into a .NET assembly via the free Delphi .NET code, and for the most part, this works great. However, one of the requirements of my application is that our clients be able to use this from a networked share as well as local. On my test machine, I can't get this to work, I just get an error messag...
We have a Java program run as root on Unix, that therefore can read for example the content of the folders /home/user1 and /home/user2. However, if the Unix user "user1" is logged in in our application, he should not be able to access "/home/user2" data. We would like to use directly the Unix rights and not recreate all the permissions ...
I am using a machine on which I do not have root access and would like to access files on a Samba server in random access mode. I know I can transfer the files in their entirety using smbclient but the files are very large (>1GB) and I would rather just treat them as remote files on which I can do random access. The problem as noted is ...
Until this morning, I have had Apache 2.0 running as a service using a local account which was configured with appropriate permissions. Sometime yesterday, someone must have changed something, and now Apache 2.0 won't start as a service under this account. I made the account an Administrator temporarily, and Apache 2.0 starts fine. I t...

We're implementing a hosted Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 system and I need to limit the number of users that a customer can give access to a site collection. A customer should be able to manage his entire site collection. He should just not be able to delete the site collection itself or add more than a given number of users to the si...
Hey all, I need some advice on this... We have certain permissions setup in the database for certain levels of control a user can have over the application. Disabled, ReadOnly and Edit. My question is: Are there more generic/better ways to handle permissions applied to a form element on the page than writing a security method/check pe...
We have encountered a very strange situation when we deployed an application at a customer site. This application is implemented as a service using C# on .NET 3. The application communicates with a web service that is written using gSOAP. In our .NET application, the classes that wrap the web service were created by performing "Add Servi...
ASP.Net 3.5 running under IIS 7 doesn't seem to allow this out of the box. if (!EventLog.SourceExists("MyAppLog")) EventLog.CreateEventSource("MyAppLog", "Application"); EventLog myLog = new EventLog(); myLog.Source = "MyAppLog"; myLog.WriteEntry("Message"); ...
Hi I have a webservice running under sharepoint, on a bog-standard Server2003/IIS6 setup. This webservice needs to open and read a file from a share on another machine in the same domain. At the moment I am getting a System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '\strand\DROPBOXES\MattTrinder\SharepointShared\bd116dfa-be0e-4...
How is the guest account in SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2008) supposed to be used? What is it good for? I've tried enabling the account but I still can't get certain users to be able to refresh Excel 2007 PivotTables attached to views which I have given SELECT rights to GUEST. What am I missing? ...
We have a major VB6 trading application which uses MS Access (Don't ask!) It is always blasting trades into an MS Access database. The rest of the infrastructure here has moved on considerably and I want to read this Access database periodically and copy any new trades into a SQL server database. The SQL and C# needed to do this is tri...
I have a PHP script that processes file uploads. The script tries to organise the files that are uploaded and may create new folders to move the files into if needed. These files will be below the www root directory (ie, a web browser will be able to access them). My question is, what permissions should I set for the folders that get cr...
I want to enhance my browser-based web application with functionality that enables management of local files and folders. E.g. folder tree structures should be synchronized between local workstation and server via HTTP(S). I am aware of security-related limitations in browser-based applications. However, there are some techniques that "...

Question says it all really... I have tried changing the "Allow non-admin users to run this program" setting on the property pages, and have also given the non-admin user in question what looks like the correct privileges in Component Services -> DCOM Config. Is there anything else I can do ? This is on Server2003 BTW. Thanks Matt ...
Hi all, In linux, if I have a file I'm sharing with a group, and I put the file on a USB memory stick, for example, and copy it to a computer that doesn't have the same group or users, does the file have no permissions for anyone on that new computer? What if I bring a linux file that only lets user X to read it to a windows machine? ...
I want to know if I'm missing something. Here's how I would do it: For SPFolder I would change the associtaed item's permissions (SPFolder.Item). So I suppose managing SPFolder permissions boils down to managing SPListItem permissions. For SPListItem I would frist break role inheritance with SPListItem.BreakRoleInheritance() and then wor...

Hi there, I'm using ActiveState Perl on Windows Server 2003. I want to create a directory on a Windows NTFS partition and then grant a Windows NT security group read access to the folder.
