Here is the scenario,
The application uses already developed APIs such kendo-ui and few more internal developed APIs for UI component with AgnularJS.
In these liberaries and in our application we have followed "npm dependency" approach for material icon and hosted them with the deployed build.
However at this point of time we found that there are the situations and scenarios, where end user have the security concerns and the applied policy of the system doesn't allow to change the IE's configurations such as :
**
IE >> Internet Options >> Security tab >> Internet >> custom level >>
font download option as disabled.
**
However, we can not enforce the end user to modify the security configurations and even they won't be able to do so.
Hence I am looking for alternative approach. because replacing every icon font with icon images will be an extremely complex and tedious.
What I already have followed is:
Adding domain to trusted domain - yes it works but end user can not modify any settings. So this is not useful.
Self hosted icon fonts - Not working
URL to refer google's api repository - not working
Changing the security configurations - not allowed
Hence looking for any alternate solution, if anyone have faced similar scenarios in past.
Any pointers will be really a great help for this issue.
Thank you,

I have a small React Native app for which I have a series of Firebase dynamic links. When the app is installed, the links work perfectly in directing users to the relevant screen defined in the dynamic link
However, if the user does not have the app installed when the dynamic link is followed, the route defined in the dynamic link does not persist.
Is it possible to persist the deep link during the installation process?
I've tried a basic deep link URL like https://fakedomain.org/upload as well as using the ?link=https://fakedomain.org/upload param and neither seem to work.
To answer your question, it is possible to persist the link after installs but it won't be %100 successful because of some limitations on the iOS side. You can check the flowcharts in here
There could be a couple of reasons for it not to work after the app installation. Since no code is provided I'll assume you are listening to the dynamic link with onLink for the app's active state and checking the initial link with getInitialLink when your app is in the quit state.
Persisting the link after app installation involves the clipboard in iOS so make sure the problem is not related to new iOS 16 copy/paste permissions.
Your navigation library might be trying to navigate to the route from the link before your navigation stack is initialized.
If the problem occurs only in one platform it might indicate a problem in your native setup like maybe related to LinkingManager etc.
If you are using a custom domain, you should double check your Associated Domains and AndroidManifest settings.
I have started working on an Angular 10 application using DevExtreme UI Widgets. I deployed a demo version in our Azure Cloud but while I was playing with it, I noticed a strange behavior. It seems that I lose my styles when I refresh.
For example, this is how the login page should be displayed:
If I refresh the URL without entering my login credentials, the page changes and gets displayed like this:
When I login, the bad or good styles are carried over. For example, the landing page should be displayed like this:
If I refresh the screen here, I also see the styles being altered. This is how the landing page gets displayed when the styling is lost:
When I lose the styling if I keep refreshing the page over and over again, eventually I regain the styles and my application starts being displayed as intended.
Any idea what causes the styles to be lost? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Regarding the deployment of Angular projects, I have encountered various problems. I am willing to share it with you and hope it will help you.
Troubleshooting steps:
Solution 1.
You can deploy it via Azure Pipelines CI/CD without using the vscode to deploy webapp.
Maybe smth wrong with VS Code plugin, as it is in preview
Solution 2.
Use github for continuous deployment. It is recommended to create a webapp and choose the Linux operating system.
Solution 3.
It is recommended to use FTP to publish the build folder after the project npm build.
This issue was resolved. After further investigation, it turns out that the problem had nothing to do with Azure Cloud deployment. I use DevExtreme UI widgets in my application and the application is based on their Angular Template.
I tried the website using Chrome, Edge and Firefox. The issue described above only happened in Chrome. DevExpress tech support pointed me to this support ticket.
After following the recommendations in the workaround and a redeployment, my app looks fine even in Chrome.
Thanks for everyone trying to help.

I use both Telerik and Microsoft CDN, for their respective AJAX toolkits. Both work great 99% of the time. However, I was working out of two different cafes recently and went to visit my site: The first cafe did not permit the Telerik CDN, while the second one does not allow the Microsoft CDN as a URL request. I can actually see the status bar in IE shows "ajax.microsoft.com" as the file being retrieved as I am waiting for the website to load.
Lack of CDN access seems to be a very unusual problem. In fact, I cannot fathom why such URL requests would be blocked when the cafe seems to permit pretty much everything else. Any reason? Could this be an availability issue at the respective CDNs themselves (ie how reliable are these CDNs)? And of-course, is there a recommended fix, apart from discarding CDN use?
Update: I can now connect to my app. So my lack of access to ajax.microsoft.com was most likely a temporary lack of MS CDN availability, and not any domain blocking.
all you need to do is implement fallback to your local server, explained here, http://happyworm.com/blog/2010/01/28/a-simple-and-robust-cdn-failover-for-jquery-14-in-one-line/
The Telerik online demos use the CDN by default, but fallback to embedded resources if the Amazon cloud service is unavailable. If you have the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installed locally, then you can see the source of the demo site. The files that you need to review are ~/Common/Footer.ascx and its code file ~/App_Code/QuickStart/Footer.cs, also
~/App_Code/QuickStart/QsfCdnConfigurator.cs ~/App_Code/QuickStart/HeadTag.cs. The Footer files set a cookie using JavaScript, depending on whether the CDN is available and the last two files provide support for reading the cookie on the server side and setting the appropriate configuration for the script manager.
Is there a way to programmatically set the name of a file to be uploaded from a web page? I suspect that browser security restrictions make this impossible, but I'm hoping someone will prove me wrong.
I have a web application that needs to let the administrator upload HTML. The admin selects the HTML file, then the app uploads that file, plus figures out all the supporting files (images, stylesheet, etc) and uploads them too. There doesn't seem to be a way to programmatically upload the supporting files from a web page, since the user has to specify each file explicitly.
Currently I have a separate Windows app to do this, but it would be ideal to have this functionality integrated with the rest of the app. My back end is ASP.NET with C#.
There is no way to programatically grab files from a user's computer via the browser. This would be a security violation if a website could just grab things.
Yes you can (in modern browsers)...
You can get and set the value of HTMLInputElement.files.
See this answer.
No, you cannot do this without a client-side application or special plug-in.
Browser security doesn't allow the server to obtain information about the hard drive contents of the client.
You may be able to do this using some form of browser plug-in. This is more work for you (and there are potential security implications for this beyond those found when you just have users run your app). However, it may prevent a more integrated experience for your users. I'd hesitate to eliminate the application completely, though. Browser compatibility issues are common.
What are some the items you change in your test environments to make them standout from production, and how do you go about make these changes? I know you can change the PS LOGO, but what else do you change in your test environments? Colors, fonts, etc.
Changing the colour schemes isn't too difficult. If you want to go down that route and need a helping hand I'll be happy to assist.
Other clients just put the environment name in the PIA Greeting. That's easy too:

I've not heard of anyone changing fonts though.

When you refresh a db, make sure you change tools tables that have dbname, web urls, and so on. The test db name will appear in the portal menu.
Changing the fonts would require changing all the style sheet definitions, a major headache. I guess you could go in and edit some basic style sheet attributes in app designer, PS_TEXT, et.al. and change those in a test environment. Maybe just changing a few would be enough.
Most test envs also open up security to some degree, simply because testers and developers likely need access to everything. So people's menus are going to be much larger than in production.
This is the relatively small change we made, to replace the "Home" link in the toolbar with the name of the environment eveywhere but prod. It was also incorporated in the refresh scripts to pull in the DBNAME dyanmically.
update psmsgcatdefn set message_text = 'DBNAME', descrlong = 'Environment name home replacement' where message_set_nbr = '95' and message_nbr = '401';
items to watch for:
file paths - if you open files for reading, and especially writing, to communicate with external systems, then you need to make sure you are not stepping on Production toes.
I would assume web services would also need the same re-routing so you don't "hit" live external production web services.
emails. workflow or other subsystems are liable to fire off emails to users or external parties. you need to make sure those emails are tester emails instead, not real addressees.
