I would like to know if there is one way of getting Cognos locale variable in a report studio javascript. I have next code for getting navigator language:
Control.prototype.getLang = function(){
if (navigator.languages != undefined)
return navigator.languages[0].substring(0, 2);
else
return navigator.language.substring(0, 2);
}
but I need to get the default language that user select in preferences.
Thanks
I was able to extract the locale set in the My Preferences for the "Product Language" setting. However, I was unable to find where Cognos stores the "Content Language" setting in JavaScript. Most of the time these will be the same.
Here's a screenshot of the settings page indicating which setting I was able to access.
If you want to find out the user's Product Language, use this JavaScript:
var report = cognos.Report.getReport('_THIS_');
var lang = report._iv.sProductLocale;
The content of the lang variable will be the locale (e.g. "en" for English).

I am setting up LaunchDarkly to control my first feature flag and its working fine from server & client side.
Now I am trying LaunchDarkly Bootstrap approach (From the below given Link) and tried like below my code, but it's not accepting the double braces and I do not know How to get flag value by using the bootstrap approach, so where I did go wrong in my code?. Could anyone please help me with an example?
Link,
https://docs.launchdarkly.com/docs/js-sdk-reference#section-bootstrapping
Initialized client with Bootstrap option as below,
client = LDClient.initialize(sdkKey, userContext.user, options = {
bootstrap: {
{{ ldclient.all_flags(userContext.user) }}
}
});
And my function to get the flag value,
isFeatureEnabled: function (featureFlag, properties) {
console.log("Before Variation");
//we shall update the custom properties into user context.
if (properties) {
for (var k in properties) {
userContext.user.custom[k] = properties[k];
}
}
//later make the identity call to update the user details.
client.identify(userContext.user, null, function () { /*rules updated*/
console.log("New user's flags available");
//validate the feature flag
var showFeature = client.variation(featureFlag);
if (!showFeature) {
window.in8.platform.showUnauthorized('');
}
console.log("after Variation");
});
}
Full disclosure, My name is John, and I am part of the support team here at LaunchDarkly. I'll be happy to help you out with this problem
Firstly, it appears you are using an older version of the bootstrapping example. The new example has a typo fix, and uses the new all_flags_state method.
I see two major issues here. There is the primary issue of how to bootstrap flag variations from the back-end to the front-end, and how to appropriately utilize LaunchDarkly when using bootstrapping. I will tackle the issue of how to bootstrap flag variations from the back-end first.
The example in LaunchDarkly's documentation utilizes templating to include the bootstrapped values to the front end. Templating is a strategy for including programmatically generated content in your static source or text files. Templating is commonly used when compiling or deploying code, or at runtime when serving content to clients. This is done to render information only available at that time in the final version.
Different templating languages behave in different ways, but generally speaking you include tokens in your source or text files which direct the template renderer to replace that token with data you supply it.
In the documentation it mentions that this example is for templating using Ruby, but the example is using Mustache rendering, and Mustache is available in many different languages. Templating is a strategy for including programmatically generated content in your static source or text files. This is commonly used when compiling or deploying code, or at runtime when serving content to clients. This is done to render information only available at that time in the final version.
The example may not work depending on which back-end language and framework you are using. According to the tags associated with your question, I feel safe to assume that you are using .NET to power your back-end, which doesn't have a prescribed templating language. There are many open source solutions out there, though.
In the following example I'm going to use https://github.com/rexm/Handlebars.Net to render the a users bootstrapped flag values into the result variable. I am going to borrow code available from the example in the handle bars repo, and from LaunchDarkly's hello-bootstrap and hello-dotnet repos, which are available here: https://github.com/launchdarkly/hello-bootstrap & https://github.com/launchdarkly/hello-dotnet

ldClientsideId = "YOUR_CLIENT_SIDE_ID"
};
var result = template(data);
You could take this example and adapt it to render your static source code when serving the page to your users.
The second issue is how you are utilizing the SDK. I see that you are calling identify before evaluating your user every time. Each time you call identify the SDK needs to reinitialize. This means that even after bootstrapping your initial variations you will force the SDK to reinitialize by calling identify, removing all benefits of bootstrapping. As a solution, detect if your user object has changed. if it has, then call identify. Otherwise, do not call identify so that the SDK uses the cached user attributes.

I'm writing a simple Automator script in Javascript.
I want to send a key-code(or key-storke) to an OS X application that is not in front.
Basically, I want to run this code and do my things while the script opens a certain application, write text, and hit enter - all of this without bothering my other work.
I want something like this:
Application("System Events").processes['someApp'].windows[0].textFields[0].keyCode(76);
In Script Dictionary, there is keyCode method under Processes Suite.
The above code, however, throws an error that follows:
execution error: Error on line 16: Error: Named parameters must be passed as an object. (-2700)
I understand that the following code works fine, but it require the application to be running in front:
// KeyCode 76 => "Enter"
Application("System Events").keyCode(76);
UPDATE: I'm trying to search something on iTunes(Apple Music). Is this possible without bringing iTunes app upfront?
It's possible to write text in application that is not in front with the help of the GUI Scripting (accessibility), but :
You need to know what UI elements are in the window of your specific
application, and to know the attributes and properties of the
specific element.
You need to add your script in the System Preferences --> Security
& Privacy --> Accessibility.
Here's a sample script (tested on macOS Sierra) to write some text at the position of the cursor in the front document of the "TextEdit" application.
Application("System Events").processes['TextEdit'].windows[0].scrollAreas[0].textAreas[0].attributes["AXSelectedText"].value = "some text" + "\r" // r is the return KEY
Update
To send some key code to a background application, you can use the CGEventPostToPid() method of the Carbon framework.
Here's the script to search some text in iTunes (Works on my computer, macOS Sierra and iTunes Version 10.6.2).
ObjC.import('Carbon')
iPid = Application("System Events").processes['iTunes'].unixId()
searchField = Application("System Events").processes['iTunes'].windows[0].textFields[0]
searchField.buttons[0].actions['AXPress'].perform()
delay(0.1) // increase it, if no search
searchField.focused = true
delay(0.3) // increase it, if no search
searchField.value = "world" // the searching text
searchField.actions["AXConfirm"].perform()
delay(0.1) // increase it, if no search
// ** carbon methods to send the enter key to a background application ***
enterDown = $.CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent($(), 76, true);
enterUp = $.CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent($(), 76, false);
$.CGEventPostToPid(iPid, enterDown);
delay(0.1)
$.CGEventPostToPid(iPid, enterUp);
I am mantaining a VB6 Windows application which digitally signs PDF documents by launching a JS file, located in the Javascripts subfolder of Acrobat 9.0. Now my Customer wants to plug another smart card reader to the PC which hosts the application, with its own smart card containing certificates related to a second person who will sign certain type of documents.
My question is: how can I programmatically choose, from my JavaScript code, the smart card reader I want?
In my JavaScript code I do the following:
//Initialize the signature handler
var myEngine = security.getHandler("Adobe.PPKLite");
//Obtain the available certificates
var ids = myEngine.digitalIDs;
var myCerts = ids.certs;
//Find the certificate I want to use to sign
for(var j=0; j<myCerts.length; j++)
{
if(myCerts[j].subjectCN == "SMITH JOHN")
{
oCert = myCerts[j];
break;
}
}
//Log to the signature engine by passing the certificate I want to use
//and the slot where the corresponding smart card reader is plugged
myEngine.login( { oParams: { cDIPath: ACROSDK.sigDigitalIDPath,
cPassword: ACROSDK.sigUserPwd,
iSlotID: 1,
oEndUserSignCert: oCert
}
} );
//Digitally sign the document with the certificate I chose
sigField.signatureSign({oSig: myEngine,
bUI: false,
oInfo: { password: ACROSDK.sigUserPwd,
location: ACROSDK.sigLocation,
reason: ACROSDK.sigReason,
contactInfo: ACROSDK.sigContactInfo,
appearance: "FirmaRPPR"
}
});
Why do I receive a General Error when executing signatureSign? Which is the correct way to assign the iSlotID parameter when logging to the signature engine or, alternatively, the cTokenLabel parameter?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!
Mind you, I have no experience in using Acrobat scripting, but in PKCS#11 slot id would refer to the id of the smart card reader connected to the computer, and token label would be assigned label to one of the smart carts in that slot/reader, which can vary from PKCS#11 implementation to another.
And the easiest way to find out the label of the PKCS#11 token would be to configure the PKCS#11 DLL you're using as a Security device in Firefox browser and see the label field in the configuration. But that would be just to get you going in the right direction.
You can write a short C program against the PKCS#11 and use C_GetSlotList and C_GetSlotInfo to find out the slot id's and token labels, here is an example of that. It should not be a problem to port that code over to VB. Also there is NCryptoki that you can use to interface the PKCS#11 DLL.
How to achieve following scenario?
I want to modify the url when browser is from Asia. When I will hit url with domain my.XXX.com then, the application will check the browser location and if the browser is from asia then, it will automatically change url with domain to asia.XXX.com.
Thanks
Right thing to do on the server side, defining the country by IP (GEOIP).
It is also possible to learn the language of the preset browser.
JQuery
$.browserLanguage(function( language , acceptHeader ){
alert("You have your browser language set to " + language);
})
or native
var lng = navigator.browserLanguage || navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage;
alert(lng);
I have at my disposal Javascript and Classic ASP. Using these two how can I check to see if a user is a member of a particular active directory group? I know VBSCRIPT has memberof function but I can only use javascript. Any help is appreciated
You'll need to ensure that your web server is set to use Windows Authentication. Then you can use Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") to get the current user's domain\username.
You'll then query Active Directory using ADSI to get group membership.
Here's a link to msdn's ADSI pages. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa772170%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
This page has some sample scripts (in vbscript)
As far as I know there is no possibility to access activeDirectory by using Javascript. Javascript runs within the browser - and may not access anything out of this sandbox.
In case I misunderstood your question und you ment server-side checking - use ASP functions to check for.
You might also try using Javascript to instantialte a WScript.Network object
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
From there, you can get
var netWorkUserName = WshNetwork.UserName;
var netWorkDomain = WshNetwork.UserDomain;
A word of warning: I'm pretty sure this is IE only and requires security changes in IE.
You'll need AJAX and a connection to the AD using ADODB.Connection with the "ADsDSOObject" provider.
EDIT: I saw your comment above. Here's a start:
ldapCommand.CommandText = "select sn from '" & _
"LDAP://example.com/DC=example,DC=com" & _
"' WHERE samAccountName=" & "'" & username & "'"
Set ldapRecordSet = ldapCommand.Execute
ldapCommand is an ADODB.Command, and if Execute throws an error, then the user is not in the domain.
