Right now I have an application on my website that users can easily download from my website, is there a way to hide or make it really hard to be able to find my application, so people can't just add /files/App.exe into the end of my domain to get my app? What do you recommend?
Hiding your exe could be accomplished by
Create a unique identifier (perhaps a GUID)
Associate this with a file name for download and an expiration date (in a DB, perhaps)
Create a page that takes the unique ID as a parameter
Have this page check the DB for the unique id and ensure it hasn't passed the expiration date
Send the file to the client, setting Content-Disposition header to attachment
If you are using ASP.NET this example will help you
If u are using asp.net create a httphandler and map it in your web.config to the path of app.exe.. and just do response.write("get out") and log the details of the request.....equivalents are available on all popular platforms...

In my CRM HTML-Webresource, I got to display E-Mail activities with it's images (saved as attachments) as HTML. I take the description attribute for that.
As I realized, at least in CRM-Online, every attachment-image has a WRPC-Token that I need for the correct file path to load it.
How can I get the token? Most of the solutions that I found are either old or don't work for my circumstances.
Can I fetch the token out of the given HTML?
This approach doesn't make sense to me,
Attachments are stored within a database behind a web service, they are not at a file path you can simply open.
WRPC-Token's are used in security, I'm not sure how it is relevant or could provide a file path.
I would suggest writing code to access the CRM web services, this will enable you to retrieve the attachment data. There is an example here Sample: Create, retrieve, update, and delete an email attachment.
I'm using parse to store high scores for an app, the website for my app is displaying the high scores in a leaderboard.
How can I make the javascript application key only have read access?
I want to prevent anyone from grabbing the key and start updating/changing/destroying my data. I am looking for a way to prevent this.
Thanks for your time.
What you need here is Class-Level Permission
Browse to your class in the Parse dashboard
Click on Security button
Untick Write to prevent public non-read access to your data

In an Access 2013 Web App, I created a relationship by changing a field type to "lookup" and set a related table/field. Now I want to remove the relationship. Whenever I try to change the field type to anything besides "lookup", it tells me I must delete the relationship in the Relationships menu, which doesn't exist in a Web App.
The MS support pages just link back and forth without ever answering this glaringly simple issue.
MS Support Instructions for relationships in Access 2013 (not web apps)
How to create a relationship in an Access 2013 Web App (not delete it)
Good question. I agree that the message we display is a little misleading because the instructions only apply for Access desktop applications. I'll see if we can perhaps change that message. I think it is shared across desktop and web app but I'll ask around. I'll see if we can maybe update the help content articles too. I can't make promises of course, but I'll check on that too.
In any case, to delete an established relationship in an Access 2013 web app, you'll have to delete the lookup field itself. If you need to keep the existing data for some reason, you could temporarily create a new column in the table, use a data macro to copy all of the contents from the lookup field you want to delete into the temp column, and then delete the lookup field itself. You could then copy that data from the temporary column into a new column if need be.
I hope that helps.
I'm creating a solution which will be released as a managed solution for Dynamics CRM Online.
However, the customer will need to put information in when installing the managed solution to allow interaction with outside services.
For example, when you install the LinkedIn solution, you need to add your log in information to allow the CRM to access your LinkedIn account.
How do I add these parameters to the a solution, and then allow the customer to update them if they change?
Cheers
Edit:
To add to my query and following the answer below.
To make sure the process is correct in my head.
Option 1.
I will create a custom entity for storing key/value, or username/password combination.
I would then create a customisation page for the solution using html web resource, which when submitted, javascript would create a single record to hold those values.
I then need to link every record that needs the values stored in the custom record - I'm not sure how this would be done without editing a workflow after the storage record has been created, to link each normal record to the storage one.
Option 2.
Create an xml web resource that stores the values. Create the html/javascript resources to update this using the configuration page.
I can then use a javascript function to obtain that data when the custom entity is created, perhaps to populate hidden fields for storage and use behind the scenes.
I can't find any tutorials on getting started with using xml in this way - can you point me in the right direction?
I typically create a "Configuration" entity that has Name/Value attributes. This is also useful when you have Dev/Test/Prod environments that require different configs (e.g. URLs, credentials, etc).
Another approach is to using Plug-in configurations or Web Resources to store that type of information. The Plug-in configuration is pretty straightforward if you can have the customer use the Plug-in Registration tool to modify the value.
I have a custom web applet that I am adding to the Lead object tab of my Oracle CRM On Demand app. It is easy to include a variable in the URL via the %%%VARIABLE_NAME%%% convention but that seems to only work with the object itelse (Lead, Service Request, etc) Since the field I want to add is part of a different object (the User) it doesnt seem to be working.
Any help on how to add this would be greatly appreciated.
Here it talks about custom web applets, and under Fields it talks about adding a variable:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14388_01/books/OnDemOLH/index.htm?toc.htm?creatingcwa.html
I got a definitive "not possible" from an oracle web service developer on this issue.
So turns out that in a custom web applet for one object you cannot have custom fields from other objects.
My work-around is to pass the unique userid %%%User id%%% back to my app and work from there.
