Guest wb Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 not sure how one can get really granular in allowing certain java apps to run without having to fully turn off UAC. after an auto update of java my users cannot run a certain java app now without turning off UAC for the user. i can see the java app in the terminal debug window and the problem being perm/access. so how does one in Vista allow certain apps under this security policy without turning off UAC for the user?

Maybe the Java application has to be modified. Quote
Guest Sam Hobbs Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 There is a platform SDK security newsgroup. If they don't help it is likely because the question is easily answered by reading the documentation. So read the documentation if possible and if you don't get help there, ask in the programmer's security newsgroup. In this newsgroup (the one this thread is in) and this question, you are more likely to get sarcasm than answers. Your program should check for errors whenever there is a possibility of errors. Probably if you are thorough enough in checking errors, you would have an idea of what the problem is. Security people will say that instead of attempting to provide more privileges for the program, you must eliminate the need for more privileges unless the requirements of your application needs the additional privileges. Security programmers will insist that you determine why the program requires Administrator privileges or whatever, so unless I misunderstand what you are saying you should do something to diagnose the problem instead of concluding you must allow the program to do whatever it decides to do. What if your program got infected by malware? It would not be your fault except your customers will likely blame you anyway for allowing the malware to do it's thing. Even if that is not the case now, it is the type of thing that can happen by solving problems by guessing. If you are thinking that you can't diagnose the problem because the error exists only in other systems but not in your system, then you need to learn about debugging and diagnosis; you are not the first to be in that situation.

Guest Nova Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I believe this is a profile issue (possibly something under HKCU). I'd recommend trying to create a new Windows profile for the users.
