Hi
Does Sybase provide learning resources for wannabe Sybase DBAs like Oracle Learn by Example?
I am an experienced relational DBA wanting to learn Sybase.
Can you rely on Nginx to be your only webserver. I know in terms of performance it works well, but how does it do in terms of security. I know Apache is stable and has ModSecurity. This is not the case for Nginx.
I am going to use Nginx as only webserver, and only for dynamic content. All my static content is delivered by a CDN.
Hey,
I have obtained an SSL certificate by Thawte for domain.com
Now my infrastructure changed due to heavy load
I have
mx.domain.com as SMTP relay
storage.domain.com as Mail-Storage
and domain.com pointing at Web-Server
Every server is hosted on another dedicated/virtual server with individual IP.
I do not want to put the Web-Server on the Mail-Storage for security reasons but I do want to use my SSL-Certificate for the Mail-Storage(POP3S/IMAPS). Is that possible or how do I solve that issue?
I have a network of PCs and some Macs. I have security problems with the Macs; they can auto login on the server when I want it to ask for a user name and password. Anyone can just get on the computer and sign into the last person who was using it. Any help?
Hi,
If I am not mistaken, SQL server cannot be automatically updated via the regular windows backup routine. Instead, there are cummulative updates that need to be installed by hand. I assume this is done for security and stability reasons.
Is this correct? If so, how can I keep track of new updates without regularly reading SQL server related blogs? Is there any low-volume newsletter I can subscribe (ideally only announcing critical updates)?
There was a computer security company back approximately 10 years ago marketing a non-signature based antivirus & intrusion detection software package for Windows. I cannot remember the name, and haven't had much luck with google searches to find it either.
Can anyone remember the name of this product?
I have my Time Machine backups on an external disk (WD My Passport with no hardware encryption) and I'm worried if the data stored on the disk is safe in case somebody steals it and connect it to any Mac/PC.
Does any Mac can browse the Time Machine backups? Or are they encrypted in any way?
If no, is there a way to improve security of the backups, should I buy a hardware encryption based HD?
Thanks.
I'm having major trouble with my desktop. OS Windows XP Professional. All the files have become access-denied overnight. I unchecked the file sharing option, I tried resetting the user in security settings, but still no luck.
Anyone have any other tricks to try?!
Thanks!
I am trying to install Java SDK for windows 7 (Ultimate version, 64bit), I downloaded the following file from oracle website: jdk-7u9-windowsx64.exe. When I try to execute it, I get an error that it is not a valid win 32 application. I think the JDK version is correct. Can somebody help me out? Also, comment if you need more info about my machine configuration to help me out.
Edit: I have 4 GB RAM on my system , Dell Latitude E4310

I have a database backup located in my Windows 7 Documents folder (c:\Users\Aaron\Documents...), and I'm trying to restore it using SQL Server Management Studio. However, the program is unable to access anything within the Users\Aaron directory using its non-standard file selection dialog, even when run as an Administrator.
I'm brand new to Windows 7... Is there some sort of security setting that I need to trigger to give programs access to these files?
Hi All
I have a computer with windows XP service pack 3 as an operating system.This computer is in a network with McAfee update server.This server will install and update McAfee client in all computers in that network.When I install and running 'Eset Nod32 Smart Security (AntiVirus)',computer is getting hanged. (Not works in Safe Mode). How can I install both Nod32 and McAfee on this network ?
Every time I close Internet Explorer, all temporary files (including cookies) are deleted. IE has a setting for this (Tools Internet Options Advanced Security Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed) but the setting is turned off. I tried cycling it on and off again, with no luck. I can open the Temporary Internet Files folder and watch all the files vanish each time IE closes. How can I get the temporary files to stay where they belong?
In Windows XP, there are two settings in Group Policy I'm looking at:
Password must meet complexity requirements
Store password using reversible encryption
Both of these settings are under Local Computer Policy/Computer Config/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy.
For the first one, I have found the setting in RSOP_SecurityEventLogSettingBoolean class in WMI. However, I can't find the latter. Does anybody know in which class in WMI can I read that particular setting?
I just don't know a better way to describe my issue that is driving me nuts.
I am trying to establish a test domain with virtual machines on a box that has Win7 with VMwware workstation installed. The purpouse with this domain will be so that we can try and test different situations before they go into the production network.
I build a VM with WinSrv2008R2 and I am using that VM as a template to make other servers for the domain by making clones of it. Now I raise a DC with one clone and a member server with another clone - I add the server to the domain. I am following a standard procedure as always (it is not my first domain). Then I make an admin account and I am adding the admin to be a member of the Domain and Enterprise Admins group.
That admin is admin with full priviledges on the DC.. no problem there.
But on the other server has ... somewhat half the privileges and I cant log in via RDP. I tryed with another account. Same issues.
For example (with half the privileges): I can't open the Even Viewer if I go via Start - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer. But I can open the Even Viewer via the server manager. You can notice this on the image below. I mean WTF???
I am going crazy, I haven't experienced anything similar in my three years of expertise. I already lost 3 days troubleshooting this. Could this be related with the cloning? Perhaps if I make fresh installs of WinSrv2008 there won't be any problems?
I've had raised test domains as VMs on other occasions before, and there weren't any problems then. This is VMware Workstation 8. I've made clones before, on Workstation 7 it didn't had any problems. Anyone has any ideas?
UPDATE:
This is the info from the event log when I try to access via RDP:
An account failed to log on.
Subject:

Account Domain: -

Please help me how to install MySQL on Windows 7. When I tried to install, I am getting errors as:
The security settings could not be applied to the database because the connection has failed of the following errors
ERROR NR:1045
Access denied for user 'root@'localhost(using password yes).
I tried to uninstall MySQL completely and install again, but it shows this error again and again. I have changed my firewall setting also and tried unstalling antivirus sotware too. But it also did not work.
I need some good tutorials that covers the topic of initial configuration of a dedicated server as a secure powerful and up to date web server.
The server will have centos6 and cpanel already installed. And will be hosting wordpress and joomla websites. Security and flexibility is my big concern.
I know about how to forge website but i need something more advanced and optimized for wordpress and joomla.
In Win7 when you connect to a new network you're prompted to set it as a Home, Work, or Public connection. Presumably this influences default security settings.
That's all well and good, except for the part that everytime I USB tether my smartphone Win7 comes up with a new dialogue. I think I'm up to generic connection 25 or something? It's getting ridiculous.
Is there anyway to get Win7 to remember the phone tether as ONE connection only?
I would like to assign Windows Firewall's public profile to the public Ethernet interface and the private profile to the private Ethernet interface. I can do this with the GUI via
Open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
Click on Windows Firewall Properties
Click the Private Profile Tab
Click Customize
Select the Interface I want (private)
Click OK
Repeat step 3-6 for the public profile
How do I do this via command line? I'm using Windows Server 2008 R2
I have a problem that just started at work recently and the network manager is certain he did not change anything with the group policy. Anyways, here is a detailed description of the problem.
My machine is Windows XP SP3, and I use IE8 to browse. We have McAffee anti-virus software that I am unable to configure. I use the following file to test...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Javascript Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<h1>PASS</h1>");
</script>
<noscript>
<h1>FAIL</h1>
</noscript>
</body>
</html>
When I open this file from the C: drive, it fails every time. If I execute it anywhere else (local/remote web server or on a mapped network drive), it works just fine. When I am simply browsing the Internet, Javascript on web sites works just fine. It is only failing on files running from my C: drive. Additionally, I have had a couple other programmers in the department try this file on their C: drive, and it works fine for them. So I don't believe it is a group policy thing.
I need to fix this because I do extensive testing from my C: drive, and I am accustomed to doing so. I don't want to get into the habit of moving files to a different drive just to test.
Things I have tried:
Enabled "Allow Active Content to Run Files on My Computer" in Options | Advanced | Security
Enabled "Allow Active Scripting" in Options | Security | Custom Level
Verified that "Script" was not checked as disabled in Developer Toolbar
Added localhost to Trusted Sites in Options
Disabled McAffee completely (momentarily, with help from network admin)
Used an older DOCTYPE in my test HTML page
Re-installed IE8 completely
Ran regsvr32 on the JScript.dll
Slammed keyboard
I am sure that there is a setting somewhere that will fix this problem, possibly in the registry. I would not be surprised if it was related to the developer toolbar. At this point I do not know where else to look.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem?
EDIT: Regardless of the bounty, this issue is still ongoing.
I've very basic understanding of linux systems, but I've a server which was setup a while ago to host some web apps. Recently I decided to test out and implement Sphinx but unfortunately I cant get the install to work.
I'm running a Debian Lenny distro and when I try to install sphinx it says -
checking MySQL include files... configure: error: missing include files.
******************************************************************************
ERROR: cannot find MySQL include files.
Check that you do have MySQL include files installed.
The package name is typically 'mysql-devel'.
If include files are installed on your system, but you are still getting
this message, you should do one of the following:
1) either specify includes location explicitly, using --with-mysql-includes;
2) or specify MySQL installation root location explicitly, using --with-mysql;
3) or make sure that the path to 'mysql_config' program is listed in
your PATH environment variable.
To disable MySQL support, use --without-mysql option.

Can you help me out by suggesting how to install the required packages and run the Sphinx.
When you download the client it does not weigh too much, and seems to do very little. Inside the app bundle there is a script that—upon inspecting the environment and deciding you're not running Linux—launches the client, which downloads the full support environment and resources. For this to happen (all of this is saved inside the bundle, the app bundle gets updated in this process) Steam wants Universal Access for Assistive Devices, and your password.
Cacheable resources, preferences (like keyboard shortcuts), support files (like game hardware requirement lookup tables) live inside the bundle, not in ~/Library/{Application Support|Preferences|Cache}; games' data get dumped into ~/Documents/Steam Content.
I'd describe myself as a bit OCD (which really says a lot), and I wouldn't care that much still. I'd go comb this hairy mess and find out where stuff is, when and if I need to, even if it's in an unfamiliar place; that does not actually tick me off. Well, a little bit.
What makes me concerned is the way Steam needs both Access for Assistive Devices, and my password to run. The former gives it the ability to talk very intimately with running apps and the underlying system; while the latter (admin account) could very well give it and it's publishers unrestricted access to all my software, hardware and data. With publishers like Rockstar using scene NOCD cracks to publish their games on Steam, I'm not so sure I'm OK with this.
I'd like more games made available for the MacOS X and all the pretty machines that run it, but this arrangement does not seem very Mac-like to me. It looks like Valve is going around system security measures and best practices, foregoing sandboxing, code signing, relatively sane structured organization; all the things that would appeal to someone who's no fun at parties at all, and will die alone, in his long dead mother's basement… wait. Right. Anyway.
Can we get some input on Steam for Mac security at the end-user machine, from someone who understands how Accessibility API works, whether games distributed on Steam can read and write outside the user homefolder, collect data from other running apps, or similar?
The only way I know how to open the Select Users, Computers, Service Accounts or Groups is by right clicking on a folder and selecting Properties - Security Tab - Edit - Advanced.
Below is a screen shot of the window I want to access:
Is there any other way to view the full list (Find Now)? I am writing documentation and I want the user to check if a user exists before creating it. I would ideally like them to access this via control panel or similar.
