I'm working on a simple app to test out Cloud saving (having a lot of issues).
The app is saving as intended but once the app is deleted the saves are removed.
Google Play Services are running and the logging is running. Getting the popup and the user name.
So does Google internal testing not support Cloud Saving? Is it only local saves?
Thank you.
My team has been migrating the old rundeck 1.6.6 to 3.1.2.
Besides Rundeck, we also have a lot of web interfaces that query (Ajax) rundeck's API.
That used to work because we just needed to be logged in to rundeck.
It doesn't work anymore! (as you might have guessed)
There is a need for the user to be connected to order handle his access roles (what he can and cannot do).
I saw a mention that this feature was disallowed by default, but i cannot find anywhere which option to change in order to reallow it again.
Do you guys have an idea please?
My Use case :
I have an automation framework for Mac that launches 2 instances of the same app ( same bundle id) available at different locations to simulate two endpoint cases for media calls. With introduction of Mojave permissions, when I grant permission( camera , mic & accessibility) for one instance of the app, the other instance doesn't have the same permissions.
Since the bundle id is same, is it not that providing permission for the app is carried over to both instances?
I tried pushing a system profile to provide permissions but that doesn't seem to work
Also added an apple script to continuously check for permission pop-up and click ok to it. This works for mic and camera but not for accessibility. Also when each instance is launched the permission would be asked again.
Is there a way to by default provide all access to the application by default without asking for any permission pop-ups?
Or is there any way to tweak something at the OS level to not ask for permissions at all ( behave same as <10.14) .. I tried disabling system integrity but that doesn't seems solve this issue
You need to code-sign all versions/copies of the app using the same identity.
When an app is not code-signed and the system needs to record its identity (as for permissions), it generates an ad hoc code signature. That signature, though, only matches that exact build of the app. Another copy of the app that is different in any code-signature-relevant way is not considered to have the same identity. In fact, it's likely to be considered "malicious" as it appears to have been tampered with.
If you code-sign your app with appropriate designated requirements, that enables the system to understand that two different versions of an app have the same identity and should share permissions. This is key to an app maintaining permissions through an upgrade to a new version, for example.
I've to save user passwords on my electron app. https://github.com/atom/node-keytar is the best choice and it works well on Mac. But, a bulk of my user base is on Windows. KeyTar on windows is buggy and sometimes even insecure https://github.com/atom/node-keytar/issues/88.
So, I'm considering using chromium local storage (within electron) to store the password - perhaps, salted/hashed.
I searched much of the relevant internet; no one has a blog/suggestion/SO post on this. What am I missing?
I want to read the content of a text file (serves as a key) stored inside a USB mass storage automatically when the user is authenticated by his matching username and password for that website. It's like the textfile(key) is the extended authentication.
I think this needs to can be done by a (1) native program? or an (2) applet? What do i need to study? Can someone give me an overview for the process to make this possible?
Quite good in web tech but not with native app.
You cannot access USB mass storage devices through chrome.usb as they are claimed and handled by the host operating system.
Instead you could use the chrome.fileSystem API, but the user will need to select the file. Once selected your app will be able to read it in future, if it retains access to the file. See the API documentation for more details.
If you want this only for Internet Explorer, You can create an Active X. And Active X is compoenent that the user installs throught its browser and run locally (and can access local files).
Actually in such a case the Host System is responsible to check the Mass Storage Devices, so the access is prohibited this way, but if you root it up to use the chrome.fileSystem.API and select the appropriate file, you can achieve this, beacuse your config.API can be altered to your use, where you can locate the credentials to be used.(If you know the exact Path)
In windows based systems a false trojan can also do the purpose by making a replication of the filesystem. Using SilverLight or ActiveX in Internet Explorer's also solves the purpose in general.
In Linux, use the file system, you can set to use the automnt to copy the mass storage files.
Why not try building a .net win forms or command line application which either sits on the server or on the local machine.
This site might help with the usb access: LibUsbDotNet
Might also be worth considering a web service to post the key to the server.
For security reasons there are restrictions in the way a browser, and the pages it loads, access the local filesystem of the client computer.
Is it safe to assume you only require this to work on a specific browser? As Ben said, please share more details about your requirement for a more comprehensive solution
