Hey guys. Some of you on the list are probably familiar with this package available on github: https://github.com/Technow-es/NVDARemoteServer basically it is multi platform nvda remote server which can be run on on windows, linux and mac as well. Does anyone have last version of the program compiled for windows? Thanks. -- Mario Percinic Accessibility consultant mario.percinic(a)gmail.com Skype: acousticman Twitter: @MarioPercinic GSM: +385922630259

Credential Management

Hello All, I am new to the list, but I had a question. I am a JAWS user who has been in the I.T. field for over 16 years give or take. I do web hosting on the side as well. I have an accessibility issue which I will address in a different thread, but anyways... For the moment, I was wondering for all you Network/Server Admins did you use any accessibile Password/Credential Managers? A company I worked for used Remote Desktop Manager to do this but I find it very useless using JAWS and I just don't feel like trying to use ZoomText or Magic just for this app. Any thoughts? Thanks Kindly, Billy

Hello everybody, I need to get a Security Plus certification as soon as I can because the lack of it is keeping me from getting a few security administrator positions that I have applied for. I have tried the Test King demo and that just did not work with jaws. Does anyone have something they could recommend? I would be happy with online study exams but I am not opposed to studying pdf material. Thanks, Greg B. Email: gbobo(a)woh.rr.com <mailto:gbobo@woh.rr.com>

DNN community needs more blind developers and administrators
by Katherine Moss 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Hi all. I just figured I'd throw this out there. I decided to put all my community sites on DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) in order to persuade the DNn community to care more about accessibility as a whole and to learn development skills against in order to develop compliant themes in the forge, or that's my eventual project. Many community members have assisted, so now I need to figure out where they want their contributions, in order that eventually the DNN community will see them as important and replace their own default crappy edit menu (requires a mouse over to activate it, and it's not anything that has keyboard access by default), in the default install. I pln to firther enhance accessibility soon.

Efficient IP
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

I'm using an appliance called Efficient IP. Has anyone else used it? It's not Flash or Java but damn it's inaccessible. Unlabelled links and buttons, the developer never heard of alt tags, no tables, dodgy edit fields all over the place. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage this thing yet.

follow up to Ubiquiti controller setup
by Brian Moore 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hi all. well, so far, I am pretty damn impressed with these unify AC-PRO access points. Long range, fast response and they seem like good stuff. The controller software is doable but difficult. Version 4x of the software was very accessible and worked beautifully. However, it doesn't implement all the latest features and will not upgrade equipment to the latest firmware. version 5 of the controller software, current is version 5.0.7 is sort of doable with google Chrome but not at all a fun experience and there is a lot of guess work involved. I can kind of make it work with Chrome on windows but it pretty much completely breaks if one uses firefox or internet explorer. on another note, for configuring access points, the iPhone app works beautifully if you only want to configure the basic features. it won't let you do a bunch of the more advanced stuff but for quick setup and go, it works very well and is completely accessible with voice over.

Accessibility of PFSense web UI
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hello, Has anyone used the PFSense web UI recenetly? The last time I touched it was about 4 years ago and although it was once accessible, it had become completely unusable. I'm looking at a project where it would come in very handy but I will need to look for an alternative if accessibility hasn't changed to the web UI. I know I could use the CLI but it's not really designed for that purpose for day to day administration. Sure, it can be used but the web UI is more efficient. Any feedback / good alternative swould be very appreciated. Thanks Darragh
