Accessibility of certain security and monitoring products
by Chris Nestrud 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello all, I would appreciate comments from anyone who has used any of the following security-related products. I am particularly interested in their accessibility or lack thereof and any workarounds that you had to develop to get things done. Links included for the curious. Nessus Scanner By Tenable: http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus Web interface works best using NVDA and Firefox; reports can be exported as csv. Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS): http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/security-monitoring-analysis- response-system/index.html HP ArcSight SIEM: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/siem-security-information-event- management/ NfSen: http://nfsen.sourceforge.net/ Unsure of accessibility; other CLI tools such as nfdump are available for intercepting and extracting netflow data. TippingPoint Security Management System: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/software.html?compURI=1344453#.U 95ick10yig Nagios - The Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring: http://www.nagios.org Uses Perl or shell scripts for plugins, unsure of accessibility of web interface. Thanks in advance for any information, Chris

Current accessibility status with Cisco jabber
by Mario Percinic 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi all. When researching the topic i found the following link about Cisco jaber accessibility from 2014 which points to the discussion on this list: https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/pipermail/blind-sysadmins/2014-June/004245.… However i saw that possible accessibility fixes has bean changed during 2015. So my question is, if jaws scripts work now well with Cisco jabber, is it possible to read now status of the call logs? If yes, can someone send the jaws scripts for the app privately to me. I need the info asap for my gf who works in the Eu parliament. Thanks. -- Mario Percinic Accessibility consultant mario.percinic(a)gmail.com skype: acousticman Twitter: @MarioPercinic gsm: +385922630259

Which program do people recommend for terminal sharing?
by Jen Bottom 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, One of the products I support lives on Linux boxes, so I have been exploring the possibility of using something like 'tmux' or 'tmate', for times when it is useful to see what the customer themselves is doing on their box as they do it. So far I have found 'tmate' ok, but 'speak' does seem to like reading out bits of the session from before. reading up from the bottom of the window seems to work ok though. Also, if I create the 'tmate' session on my Mac all is good, but if I connect to someone els's session, VO seems to get very hung up on telling me about light box drawings. Any thoughts on the best solutions for terminal sharing are very much appreciated. Cheers, Jen.

Setting up virtual machines via the command line?
by Jen Bottom 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, Sometimes if I am working from home it would be good to set up a VM on my machine at work, so it's there when I go to the office, and I don't have to copy it and take it in on a USB drive etc. I'm currently using a Mac with VMWare fusion. Is there a tool to set up and run VMs from the command line, that I could install on my Mac and use after SSHing in? Cheers, Jen.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Powershell resources of Exchange Admin

Ryan thanks for those Office 365 powershell commands. Need to brush up on those and the new ones discussed @Ch9 for Exchange 2016 Thanks Christopher McMillan MSPartner for #Accessibility @CEEKTechnology 980 333 7400 Telephone 704 973 9969 Fax christophermcmillan(a)hotmail.com ceektechnologymspartner(a)outlook.com Sent from Windows Mail From: Ryan Shugart Sent: ‎Thursday‎, ‎June‎ ‎11‎, ‎2015 ‎9‎:‎57‎ ‎AM To: Blind System Admins Here’s the Exchange Online/Office 365 version: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj984289(v=exchg.150).aspx I had a document that went through how to connect to everything in one Powershell window (Exchange Online, Sharepoint Online, Lync Online and Office 365) but can’t find it at the moment.

How do you admin exchange from power shell -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] För Ryan Shugart Skickat: den 11 juni 2015 08:26 Till: Blind sysadmins list Ämne: [Blind-sysadmins] Office 365 administration Hi: So, to those of you out there who admin Office 365 tenants, I was just curious as to what tips you had in terms of accessibility goes? Do you use the various web UIs or Powershell mostly? I’m finding the Exchange online UI is accessible with Window-Eyes, if slightly clunky and there are some parts that don’t work as expected (like the combo box where you have to use your left and right arrow instead of up and down.) But I think its doable, if not quick. I’ve not played too much with Skype For Business’s admin UI but it looks similar, and I’ve not touched Onedrive or Sharepoint at all. Despite multiple invitations from Microsoft to activate my Yammer, I haven’t messed with it, from the little I know of it I don’t think I’d get any use out of it. One frustration I’ve had is the main Office 365 portal doesn’t seem to work well at all, I can do things like view system status and such, but I think there’s a tree where I can select which application I want to admin, and that isn’t working for me at all or I haven’t figured it out yet. I know I can jump right to Exchange Online’s admin page by going to http://outlook.office365.com/ecp, and I think there are similar pages for the others but I haven’t found them yet. If anyone else knows them please share. I have the Office 365 iPhone app, which lets me do a lot of what the portal should let me do, but I can’t seem to find ways to admin Exchange and the other apps themselves through the IOS app, mainly just manage the users and licenses and get system status. Thanks a lot.

Important changes to this list - please read
by Andrew Hodgson 10 Jun '15

Hi all, A new technology has been developed to try and mitigate against non-legitimate and spam email which has been taking off in the last few months. This technology is called DMARC, and unfortunately is not compatible with email lists, as the email lists break the DMARC system and cause emails whose providers publish DMARC information to end up being rejected. This started causing the list server here issues several months ago when users were randomly being kicked off lists. There are a number of ways of mitigating against this issue, and the implementation I have chosen for the lists here will I hope be as non-intrusive to screen reader users as possible. Until yesterday, most of the lists weren't seeing the system in action, but sometime yesterday Gmail decided to publish DMARC records, so the system I put in place started seeing regular use across the lists. Here is the system put in place: For email reaching the list, the system will look up if a DMARC record is published for the domain. If no record is published, the message is sent out to the list as normal. If a DMARC record is published, the email is modified as followed: - The From: header is changed so that the text "Via Listname" is added to the person's name; - The email address in the From: header is replaced by the list address; - The Original from: header is put into the cc: header. This I think gives the best balance of deliverability for all users, without cluttering up screen reader users with other information in the message or the From: header. Yahoogroups have their own way of mitigating this for all messages, and I feel this causes extraneous information to be heard for example using the screen reader. The DMARC website is at www.dmarc.org<http://www.dmarc.org> if you want to see more information. This is a very new standard, and I hope there will be a way devised for people to use mailing lists with this technology in place which has a better solution. Thanks and happy listing, Andrew.
