The application I'm working on requires the ability to edit certain protected files across Linux, OSX, and Windows [Vista]. Generally, when an application needs to do something with elevated privileges, a password request dialog appears asking the user to verify they want to allow the application to perform those operations as an admini...

I have developed a web application that uses PHP and MySQL and has all been running fine from a single development server. I now want to separate things a bit and place an app server within Amazons cloud that will receive and process uploaded files. The database is going to remain on the dedicated server but will need to be accessed by t...

I have a Winform App that I deploy with ClickOnce that installs and works for me(my UserLogin) on any system in our Domain but will not start up for a regular Domain User. It doesn't produce any errors of any kind just sits there indefinitely. It used to work and I am at a loss as to what changed that it doesn't work now. I am at a ...
I'm using WiX to write a MSI installer to start a service that depends on DLLs installed by the MSI. On Vista, the DLLs become added to the global assembly cache in the MSI's InstallFinalize phase, so I can't use the built-in service starting command in WiX. That one tries to start the service before the DLLs are in the GAC, and fails. T...
I would like to know how to programmatically lower my application's privileges. So, let's say someone with admin privileges runs my program, I would like my program to still run under a normal user's environment or with less privileges that I don't need. Also, could you explain what is restricted in the lower trust environment? Edit: ...
I have two clients (one windows XP and one OSX) connected to a UNIX server (centOS). The windows client connects through the Samba file protocol, and the mac through AFP. For some reason the OSX machine ignores the permissions set even when they are changed to 444; it just overrides the priveleges and is able to write to the file (along ...
I have been experimenting with a lot of web development apps like Drupal, Moodle, Efront and Elgg lately. For better security, I run test servers on a XAMPP setup on a virtual XP machine inside Mac OS X 10.4, using Parallels. I think this should be pretty secure, right? When installing software like Elgg, it asks me to create a user in ...
Hi (I'm pretty new to this), I have a login control in my C# program and once the user logs in, they are able to see links to other programs (a portal). Is it possible to hide the 'create new user' link to everyone except the admin once the user has logged in? Is this something I'd change in the web.config as I only want admins to be ab...

Thank you. ...
Hi, I am developing an app with MySQL. I have MySQL (XAMPP) running on my PC. All works fine but now I want to let other users from our network to login, but I found out that when I change user property "localhost" to % (any computer) I get access denied even with my own account. So, in the short, everytime I change "localhost" to "%" (a...

I accidentally removed some of the privileges from my MySQL root user, including the ability to alter tables. Is there some way I can restore this user to its original state(with all privileges)?

I'm writing a Java ME app that will use privileged operations such as messaging. By default the user is prompted to confirm each of these operations, but I would like to run it as a background service. Documentation says to request permission in the jad file, I have done so and presume it will work on a device. However I would like to...

Error SQL query: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'root'@'localhost'; MySQL said: Documentation 1290 - The MySQL server is running with the --skip-grant-tables option so it cannot...
I want to write an applescript program that first checks to see if the user has Admin privileges, and if it doesn't then requesting a re-log-in or something. Eventually the script is going to need to do a sudo chmod of a folder I just created... I can do that with a do script and a with Administrator Priviledges. However I haven't figu...
I use a standard user account for my daily tasks on Mac OS. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I am asked to do the following when a program is run from within Xcode: "Type the name and password of a user in the 'Developer Tools' group to allow Developer Tools Access to make changes" While I know the admin username/password, this is annoy...
