All,
I know this topic has been covered many times, but this particlar
question is of a subject which I am just learning (VB). Once I have
established what is possible, the individual will be approached and possibly
disciplined but I wanted to get the lowdown first.
Background:
FE/BE on LAN. XP platform with office XP.
I am using Access security (for group permissions e.g. no read on any of the
tables)
All inserting/updating/deleting is done with stored queries running with
owner access option
The shift key has been disabled.
Option has been set so that only the workgroup administrator can create new
databases using this mdw
All options in the start menu have been disabled
I have created my own security so permissions to do certain things are set
to the individual user which was unpractical with Access security due to the
large amount of users.
Password has been set on all VB code
Question:
I am aware that if someone is determined enough, all these steps taken to
secure the database will not stop them. However, I have been informed that
another user has used their own code to enable the shift key at startup. Is
this possible or is someone pulling my chain? I thought that it was not
possible to create your own code in the database with all this security?
Is this something I will have to put up with or are there any more steps
that can be taken to secure the code?
TIA,
Mark

Hi Mark,
There is a utility freely available which will enable/disable the shift key
(I got mine from Albert Kallal), but AIUI it would need to be opened within
the relevant workgroup for your secure app in order for it to work.

Hi all,
I developed a web site that uses javascript and XMLHTTP to dynamically load
info on the page from the server without having to re-load the page.
Recently I've received complaints of it not working, and the common thread
is that these users have Norton Internet Security installed (sorry, don't
know the version, but let's assume the latest). I don't have NIS. Can anyone
give me clear instructions as to how a user can change his/her...

Further to 'Security - more complex than I thought'
Has anybody ever seen any studies? Or anecdotal evidence? Done any studies
themselves? Done any lab testing - you know - 10 users asked to get past
Access (or other) security?
It'd be interesting to know. And no, I don't have any prejudices.
Yours, Mike MacSween

Hi,
I have a secured database that runs fine on the computer the database is
installed on. I have several workstations with access runtime installed
that also need access to the database. Access runtime runs fine when
accessing an unsecured version of the database. However once the database
was secured it generates a runtime error after asking for the user and
password and won't open. The shortcut to the secured database is:

I've got quite a large database which is totally form-driven at the moment.
I now need to allow multiple users access to various parts of it and,
frankly, I'm not prepared waste my time with Access's inbuilt Workgroup
'security features' - it just seems way too clunky. I figured a more
sensible move would be to port over to SQL and drive it from a nice web
front end. Unfortunately my MS SQL experience is pretty much nil and my web...

Good Morning,
I was looking for some feedback, guidance, input, comments, suggestions or
just general thoughts on the following:
For our internal development, I'm trying to create a general, reusable
security framework that is very flexible. It would have to handle both
Authentication and Authorization. The access levels allowed on each 'object'
would be: View/Edit/Read/Write.

Hi,
I developed a small test app using ASP.NET. I left the vistual folder to be
accessible only with windows integrated security.
I try to access that app from another PC in my LAN. I don't have a domain
controller, the lan works with Workgroup.
When I access that page, I get a user login dialog, aking me to enter
username / password

Hi
I have an vb.net winforms application that needs to launch a thread, and
within that thread change the security context of the current user to a new
one using impersonation. For clarity, the main thread that the application
is running under is Thread A, and the new thread in which i perform the
impersonation under is thread B.
This works fine, but i now need to launch another thread (Thread C) from
within Thread B. This is all...

About a year ago I wrote a VB.NET 2003 solution that consists of a number

solution to a testing server I simply copied the contents of the Bin folder
in the development area where the compiled assemblies reside. Be patient
with me here, because I haven't used...

This script is meant to limit access by sessions, using username and
password from mysql db and redirect users after login according to a
given value belonging to each user in the db (10,20,30,40).
(the included config is just server settings, the login is just a
login form).
The script appear to connect but will not redirect users, it seems
that even with correct login details, it won't validate.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
