"Bangalored" is a verb which recently got added in the dictionary (Thanks To Uday)

Did u know that?

 

"Bangalored" is a verb which recently got added in the dictionary. A

person is said to be bangalored if he lost his job because the work got

outsourced to bangalore or any other city in India.

 

"He got bangalored last week" is an example of its usage.

 

U can also type this word "bangalored" in Google search n see.

 

Lot of people in US got bangalored that it became an issue during the US

presidential election. That's exactly when this word was coined.

 

One such similar verb is "shanghaied" which means kidnapped.

 

I read this recently in the Readers Digest, Aug issue. I found it

interesting n just thought of sharing it with u. Great that bangalore

has a verb in its name only that it has a negative meaning.

how to allow Administrator chosen certificates to work, but not allow users to trust new certificates ?

Then comes the digitally signed form digitally signed forms have to be from a Trusted Publisher, or they get blocked.  But you can block trusting publishers as well. InfoPath uses the same trusted publishers list the rest of Office does.  By default this is stored at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VBA\Trusted".

 

If you copy that key and its values to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VBA\Trusted", then the HKLM list will override the HKCU list. You can then set ACL permissions on the "Trusted" key so that "Users" can read, but not write, to that key. That would allow Administrator chosen certificates to work, but not allow users to trust new certificates. The documentation for this can be found on http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bestprac/mblcode.mspx.

 

 

Are There any security issues in InfoPath form caching ??

As you know, the first time a form template is opened, InfoPath copies it into a folder with a random name in its cache. Every time the form template is opened after that, InfoPath checks the original location of the form template to see if it has been updated. If so, the cache copy is updated.  Otherwise, the cached copy is used. In the case where the form template is sent through email, the original location is an Outlook temporary folder, When the form is opened the next time, InfoPath probably won't be able to find the original template, so it will drop back to its "offline" behavior, and use the cached copy. The security risk is minimal, because in order to modify the form template in the cache, a malicious user would have to correctly guess the cache directory, which is random and obfuscated. (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\InfoPath\FormCache1\C71A2CE2.EC4\6cc64bfeb232b3e$). If an administrator (with access to the restricted site) sits next to the user and accesses the template through the designer, then yes, the form could be opened by the user later on because. Opening the form in design mode or run mode will put the form into the form cache.  Once the form is in the form cache, it can be opened even if the user does not have access to the original location, but its not actually a security risk In this scenario, an Administrator has effectively approved the form template by opening it for the user. The form template in the cache will not bypass security on the original location, or be able to access data on that location that the user doesn't have access to.

An Engineer, a Chemist and a Standards Designer...

An engineer, a chemist, and a standards designer are stranded on a
desert island with absolutely nothing on it.  One of them finds a can
of spam washed up by the waves.

The engineer says "Taking the strength of the seams into account, we
can calculate that bashing it against a rock with a given force will
open it up without destroying the contents".

The chemist says "Taking the type of metal the can is made of into
account, we can calculate that further immersion in salt water will
corrode it enough to allow it to be easily opened after a day".

The standards designer gives the other two a condescending look, gazes
into the middle distance, and begins "Assuming we have an electric can
opener...".
