re: WSS breadcrumb security trimming

Paul,

I agree, it is an unlikely scenario, but one that could happen.

re: WSS breadcrumb security trimming

Paul Stork — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 19:50:23 GMT

If you have rights to the Parent and the Grandchild you should have at least limited rights to the Child in between. So why would that be security trimmed out of the breadcrumb trail?

Said,

Trying to avoid my stock response of "it depends..."

But, it does, your usage scenario will drive the approach to security...

A combination is often the best approach, use AD for permissioning sites where there is little granularity and large numbers of users with identical permissions, then administer in SP where the granularity and differences kick in...

re: MOSS Service accounts

Hi Matt,

That's what I thought. I ended up needing 11 service accounts to start a new farm with one SSP and one Web App.

Apart from Service accounts , what do you suggest as to which security groups to use, MOSS or AD groups? AD groups creation need delegation in AD whereas MOSS groups creation is managed inside the MOSS security database.

Thanks

Said, the SSP AppPool is covered above and the MySite application AppPool is covered under "MOSS AppPool" as MySite application is really just another content hosting web application where you should have a separate app pool with a separate process ID.

Hope this helps...

Im so glad he is on the mend, its a very scary illness, and so glad you caught it when you did.

My husband had menigitus a few months ago, and it has damaged his eyesight and I know how worried I was for him, I cant even think how scared Sarah and yourself must have been seeing your little boy so ill.

I hope all goes well and he, has no lasting effects.

Love to you all xxxx

re: Workflows

George Welcher — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:45:57 GMT

I think you would need each of the 4 steps to be a seperate workflow which starts on change, though the first one could start on new item as well. Each step changes a flag in your list (multi-choice column) when it is done.

Each workflow has a condition which checks the flag to see if it is set to the value which it requires to run, otherwise it shuts down. So the previous workflow sets the flag to the vaue required by the next one, and so on. You should be able to do approval branching in the same way.

It means all workflows fire everytime something changes, which will be messy. The workflow history list will be littered with the carcases of all these expired workflows. Use the Log to history list action to keep track of what actually is happening in your workflow collection.

re: Using the XML webPart in WSS to render RSS

Michael Blackburn — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:57:26 GMT

Just for anyone who finds this page, the ONLY way I've been able to do this is to turn on anonymous access to the list. However, in my case, anon was turned off by default.

To enable Anonymous access, you must do it in central administration > Application Management > Authentication Providers > (this part varies, but it's probably just "default"). You'll see an enable anonymous access checkbox. Turn that on, and go back to your sites. Go to settings, advanced permissions. In the Settings menu here, you should now have an "Anonymous Access" option. You'll probably only want to turn it on for Lists and Libraries, instead of the entire site.

If you do that, you'll find an Anonymous Access option in the Permissions Settings menu of each list. From there, you should grant read access, which will allow the XML web part to read the list.

*phew*

Michael
