[THIN] Re: Adobe 7.x Reader Editing PDf files and Mandatory/ Hybrid Profiles

Hello there,
Thanks for the replies.
I thought you had disappeared off the planet Neil ... no posts for a while :¬)

I have been experimenting with this and Adobe Reader 7.x simply treats a 
mandatory profile as a guest profile no matter how you load the certs. Unless 
of course im not doing something correctly.

I have pre loaded our internal certificates into active directory , which works 
for our https based portals and this works a treat
with our Mandatory Profiles and Hybrid Profiles.

Any pointers on how you pre empt things ?

Thanks for your time.

  You won't have to do it for every possible cert - just the one each 
individual would use.

  As to how, well in this instance, the same way you would in a normal roaming 
profile (ie it's something that get's entered into the registry - specifically 
HKCU).

  As to doing it with a mandatory profile, you just have to bear in mind that 
like the hybrid profile model, you'll need to do it at every login.

  I certainly wasn't advocating preloading every possible user cert into the 
central mandatory profile.

    I agree. but you'll have to preload all the possible certificate that 
anyone can be using!!!!.

    In this case, he needs that for PDF documents.. I guess he uses many 
different certificates for many different PDF documents???


    Anyway, how do you preload the Certificates in a .man? You use a .dat, load 
the certs then rename it .Man???

    That said you can pre-empt user certs with mandatory profiles, I've been 
doing that for years for mandatory profile users, that use(d) a web based, and 
ActiveX enabled, and user-signed app.

      Mandatory profiles does not support user certificate.. You'll have to use 
the tool from Jeroen..

      Hello there,

      Thanks for the suggestion.

      The issue happens on workstations and terminal servers/Citrix servers. 
Simply renaming an existing profile on any workstation/server from ntuser.dat 
to ntuser.man causes the issue.

      Example: 

      Im a Domain admin with a local profile and i can edit the pdf files. I 
log out and log in with another account to rename my profile to ntuser.man.I 
log back in and i am unable to edit the pdf files. 

      I have also loaded the Adobe cert via AD GPO but still doesnt work.

      After much testing it appears that adobe reader doesnt like mandatory 
profiles. It treats anyone with a mandatory profile as a guest/temporary user.

      Regards

        DO you use the flex profile from loginconsultant?

        If so, maybe your issue is related to the certificate not being saved 
in a mandatory profile. use the FlexFramework to enable the certificate!

Profiles

        I have found a bug in Adobe 7.x and was wondering whether anyone else 
had come across the issue.

        Since Adobe 7.0 it is possible able to modify certain pdf files 
depending on how they were generated. The PDF files also have an emdedded Adobe 
Trusted root certificate. 7.x.

        We have use Hybrid profiles and have now found that Adobe 7 does not 
actually work with PDf files that can be edited.

        This can be for any user including local admins and domain admins.

        This also is the case if a local profile is simply renamed to 
ntuser.man.

        Anyone seen this ?
