Re: How to white list URL [Branched]

We're having issues with the WHITELIST. We have a URL with { Bracers or Curly Brackets and it's not working for that particular URL. Is there something special I need to do?

Correct answer jeromiec83223024

Per RFC 3986, curly braces in a URI need to be percent encoded (and we require RFC 3986-compliant URIs). 

 

Given that your AllowListUrlPattern looks sufficiently permissive, my guess is that we stop evaluating at the point that the URI you're passing fails the validity check.

 

In this instance, you have a couple options: 

  • Talk to HARMAN about licensing a copy of Flash Player that will allow you to work around this
  • Update your application to use valid, percent-encoded URIs, at which point, Flash should allow the request based on that rule.

My guess is that what you think the URL is, and what's actually getting passed to Flash Player aren't the same.

 

Read the Enterprise Enablement section of the admin guide, and do the things required to log the messages about URIs getting blocked.

 

At that point, you should see the exact URI that's getting passed in, and can populate your AllowListUrlPattern accordingly.

That should get you going.  If you're still stuck, please just start a new thread.  The original posters don't need email notifications about this unrelated issue.


Thanks!

I have collected a pile of research into this and have youtube videos stepping through various options, but at the very least a tool here build you an mms.cfg file:

One Youtube video among many:

But beware that Chrome and Firefox as of Jan 2021 already pulled support for flash out of the browser itself and Windows update will remove flash player off Windows this summer, so ANY solution apart from using Harman Solutions as already mentioned in Adobe's docs is a temp hack at best with many security problems.

Windows update will remove flash player off Windows this summer,

By @17614997

 

You say, that the lines  AutoUpdateDisable=1 and EOLUninstallDisable=1 in mms.cfg will be useless in the future and the player will be uninstalled anyway? Is it that, what you mean?
