prevent flash cookies

[sfawcett2]

I want to stop flash player saving cookies for all 1000 of my students in a
school. It generates something like the below:-
C:\Documents and Settings\sfoster.VEY\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
Player\#SharedObjects\ASQT8YJL\mail\##F463B9BCE6F8 7FC3\game.sol

Sometimes it has mail and exchange in the string and the folder depth (20 or
more) is so long I cant delete it.

I need something set on the server that disables saving to #sharedobjects for
all students.
Thanks

This can be controlled by implementing an MMS.cfg file, but not on the server.
It has to be on each machine (though you can push it out however you like...)

Details are in the Flash Player 9 security white paper:
[url]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf[/url]

Doing so will let you control:
Access to any camera or audio input devices attached to the computer
-- Global control of local file reading, as well as file upload and download
capabilities
-- Local Flash Player disk usage and third-party storage of persistent shared
objects
-- The ability of users to permit content to use older security models
Adobe Flash Player 9 Security 5
-- Flash Player auto-update settings

Hi Again,
Can you supply a list of the settings that can be used within this file.
Especially somethin like "LocalStorageLimit=0" which I cannot get to work. Or
store 3rd party = false.

Thanks

Steve,

The info is already linked from the security PDF we sent you to earlier.. If
you look around page 20 where it talks about MMS.cfg it links to this technote:
" IT administrators Flash Player FAQ" ([url]http://www.adobe.com/go/b0dba60b[/url])

When then links to : IT Administration: Configuring Flash Player auto-update
notification (TechNote 16701594)

That should cover about all of it. We have a document in final edit stages
that will cover every possible Flash Player IT related thing you could think
of..

LocalStorageLimit isn't working because it doesn't use a 0. It uses a 1 for no
storage (will be in the upcoming doc):

LocalStorageLimit = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] (1 = no storage, 2 = 10 KB, 3 = 100
KB,
4 = 1 MB, 5 = 10 MB, 6 = user specifies upper limit)
This value specifies a hard limit on the amount of local storage that Flash
Player uses (per domain) for persistent shared objects.

ThirdPartyStorage (where did you get store 3rd party from???)
ThirdPartyStorage = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)

Third-party refers to SWF files that are executing within a browser and have
an originating domain that does not match the URL displayed in the browser
window.
If this value is set to 1, third-party SWF files can read and write locally
persistent shared objects. If this value is set to 0, third-party SWF files
cannot read or write locally persistent shared objects.
