Problem with flash security on offline CD presentation - security

my problem touches some other questions already asked here, but no topic here has an answer, that solves this situation.
I have created web version of a certaion document, some pages in this document include embedded flash swf files.
The key problem is, this document is suppossed to be distributed on CD, so I created an offline version without problem. But after running the site offline, I come to conflict with Flash Player security, which asks if I really want to run the swf file ... and than crashes the Flash Player.
I know you can set up the configuration for this easily for Flash Player, you can also create a config file, that will allow you to run flash files localy. I can do those without problem.
BUT :-) ... if this CD is distributed to other people, they won't make those changes or steps and run into problem with flash... and yes, it's sad, but the flash has to be there :-|
Can anyone please help this problem? Because I'm running out of ideas light speed...
Thank you in advance

try setting the "local playback security" to "access local files only" if you're working in the Flash IDE. if you're compiling your SWF using the flex compiler you need to add the following flag:
-use-network=false

Autoinstall custom Linux image

We are facing now a new challenge, how can we autoinstall a Linux image I created.
I am installing my custom Linux image on a Windows 10 Mini pc. I would like the auto install to run on boot for a security and automation reasons.
I used Clonezilla in order to capture and restore a custom image. It worked with S3fs as well.
I tried to enable PXE, but it didn't work. From a screen that says PXE..... I just went again to Windows loading logo.
So the process:
I created a custom image with all the dependencies and services I need in order the application to run, I captured it with Clonezilla and restored it with the same open source application. It was great. Now we would like to automate the process as much as we can in order to deploy the image on a verity of physicals servers.
My main issue right now with Clonezilla is that in order to restore from S3 for example I need to use S3fs and I have to create a credentials file with my access key id and secret access key each time I restore an image. Repetitive and insecure.
I explored the idea of autoinstall the image with PXE over the internet, interesting but I haven't fully understand the process.
We are not cancelling an payment application, if it's stable and provide support.
If anyone know how I can create a new Clonezilla image with my AWS credentials file exist it could be helpful, if anyone can share his experience with auto install custom image over the internet with PXE it would be helpful, or even an experience with a different tool that works for you, I would love to hear about it.
Please le me know if I need to add addition information and details or if this is not the right thread for this question.
Thank you for your help

Crypto SystemKeys folder growing out of control

Help! The folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\SystemKeys is growing out of control. It is doing this on some of our servers and some desktops. We are a medium to small business and use Active Directory (not Azure AD). I've heard that this folder is used by IIS, SQL Server, Remote Desktop Licence Server (maybe other things too?). My guess is it has something to do with Remote Desktop as I've not seen this problem with any computer that hasn't been using Remote Desktop. I've heard that some of the keys in this folder are important so you can't just delete it. Anyone have any idea what to do to get it to stop, what causes it, or how to clean it up?
Here my file properties:
Thank you for any help.
I found an answer to this question. Turns out in my case it was because of an application writing to this directory. Contacted them and they are implementing a fix in the next release (October 2021). In the mean time, I've deleted the extra keys in the folder. So far no issues.

Every Xpage app I open in designer spews 1000s of java errors

I just came back from MWLUG and started to open up some Xpages DBs to work on, when all of the sudden I am getting 1000s of errors like this:
I googled the issue and I believe it has something to do with the path of the org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins.
When I opened up the packages and looked at fixing an error I got this:
The problem is that I do not know what the correct setting for this should be, or how to fix it. The apps run fine, but obviously something is wrong.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

==================================================
I may know more about the problem. In designer when I go to File==>Application==Application Management this is what I see:
A different install has several components under it.
I updated my designer and client and admin to 9.0.1 FP4 last week. That is the last thing I remember doing before this messed up (along with installing the Debug Toolbar).
How can I fix my designer install?
Strange indeed, you should check your hard drive for bad sectors.
Looks like a broken DDE in general. The plugin XML file maybe broken so the app manager doesn't show you the plugins installed. Therefor I assume DDE starts very quickly, right? Because nothing is loaded.
I had this before and my "solution" was:
de-install DDE and Fixpacks
delete workspace folder
re-install DDE and Fixpacks
re-install plugins ad setup workig sets
This is a pity but at least you get a clean install. You don't have to delete everything (e.g. the DATA folder)

is there any way i can use Application Loader on windows?

I have just created an iPhone app and need to upload the .ipa file, but I downloaded application loader and I am not able to open it via windows 7. is there any way around this?
I know this is an old question, but it came up on my search for a solution to the same problem. I wanted to share that I found a service that offers remote access to Mac OS called macincloud.com
I gave it a try, and it's surprisingly easy. Documentation isn't great, but it's not that difficult once you have access to the remote mac. Depending on how much time you're going to need to spend, there are a few pricing options, the cheapest of which is $12/week, but you can cancel any time (we'll see).
Of course it's very late for answering this, but maybe someone need this service. There is a desktop application that allows you to send your generated .ipa as well as Application Loader.
See here: http://appuploader.net/index.php
You can have Mac OS on your PC Virtual Machine, then easily install Application Loader there
When in search "Application Uploader" in Google, the following result http://www.appstoreuploader.com/ comes at no. 3. Apparently they charge $5 to upload your app.

How to set up ImageMagick with Liferay?

Following is my addition to portal-ext.properties for setting up ImageMagick with Liferay
I have installed ImageMagick in D drive as mention below :
imagemagick.global.search.path=D:\\ImageMagick-6.8.3-Q16
imagemagick.enabled=true
preview functionality:
dl.file.entry.preview.enabled=true
dl.file.entry.thumbnail.enabled=true
Set this to true to enable conversion and previewing of videos in the Document Library portlet:
xuggler.enabled=true
In Server Administration--->External servics tab, I have configured it correctly and also downloaded/install jar related to Xuggler.
However, above settings are not working for me to generate preview functionality.
I am not even getting message dispalyed like "Generating preview require few more time, please refresh the page after some time....blah blah blah...."
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Have you configured Xuggler properly? Do you get an UnsatisfiedLinkError exception?
See Xuggler's FAQ for the steps to configure your path properly
If it shows that message "Generating preview...", seems that Liferay doesn't detect this file as a video file (the Mime Type isn't any of the values in the property: dl.file.entry.preview.video.mime.types).
I also saw this problem when uploading videos using some browsers. Try uploading using another one.
For me, the solution was to symlink /usr/bin/convert to /usr/local/bin/convert
Whatever I did, nothing seemed to work. All configuration was pointing to /usr/bin (both control panel and portal-ext.properties). As a last resort, not really believing that it will work, I just did the symlink, as that was the default location for liferay.
And it works! All my configuration still points to /usr/bin. So... it looks like liferay just ignores all that config and only looks to default folder.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, imagemagick from package manager. Liferay 6.1.2 GA3.
I hope it helps someone.
