802.1x without storing username and password

I have a couple all-Mac schools that would like to begin integrating iPod touch and iPad in classroom activities.
Our wireless network is managed at the district level and it offers to ways to log into the Internet – one is a popup window with a Java applet, and the other is 802.1x.
Obviously the Java applet does not work on iPhone OS and I'm sure it never will. 802.1x works well with one caveat: It stores the username and password so whichever student uses it next will remain logged in as the previous student.
Is there any way that the iPods can be forced to prompt for the 802.1x username and password each time they rejoin the network? Any other ideas?
And before anyone asks, we have submitted requests to make the wireless network friendlier to non-traditional computing (ie. devices that are not standard PCs and Macs), but it doesn't look as if that's happening any time soon.
Thanks!

I don't store them, if it is a user and password. If the user entered them I keep them in instance variables. If you only have one user for the database (which is not the best IMHO) you should decrypt it in the code. The crypted can be stored whereever, but still not good.

How do I clear stored usernames and passwords for my podcasts?

We currently operate a password-protected RSS feed for the subscription portion of our website. For the most part it works flawlessly; people can subscribe to the feed and receive daily updates to their iTunes. If their account is canceled or goes on hold for non-payment then our database deactivates their username, which halts access to the feed.
That all works well. The problem is that if they re-subscribe to the subscription portion of our website they receive a new username and password. Then, when they go to re-subscribe to our password-protected podcast they are not prompted in iTunes for their new username or password. iTunes simply uses the old username/password combo from their canceled account, which makes the podcast fail to update.
So essentially, I'm asking how we can manually clear iTunes' stored usernames and passwords for podcasts. Thanks!

Figured it out. Just gotta delete keychain.plist, which is found in one of the following two spots:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\keychain.plist
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Apple Computer\Preferences\keychain.plist

How can I save or export the file containing stored usernames and passwords?

I'm about to update my desktop computer's operating system, which will mean my hard drive will be wiped. I want to save any file Firefox might have that contains usernames and passwords so I don't have to rebuild that file once Firefox is reinstalled. I've found such files for extensions and bookmarks but not for passwords.

In article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
*'''Backing up and restoring passwords '''
**Firefox '''''3.5 and later versions''''', including current beta and nightly builds, use '''''signons.sqlite'''''.
*'''Troubleshooting'''
**Firefox '''''3.5 and later versions''''' use the file '''''signons.sqlite''''' to store the encrypted names and passwords. passwords.
**You can rename '''''signons.sqlite''''' to signons.sqlite.sav to make Firefox '''''3.5+''''' versions use the file signons#.txt from a previous Firefox 3 or 2 version.
***'''''3.5+''''' = same as '''''3.5 and later versions'''''

for my test case i used my own id and the if i set the username and pwd, the e mails are sent, otherwise the emails are not getting delivered.
can someone suggest why this is happening and i have to make sure that at the end of launching the site, i dont have to get the username and password, because i will not be given access to it as a developer.
Please suggest me wat to do.
i am using the simple cfmail function.

Backup Without giving username and password

Dear Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g. I created a batch file to make export backup. In the batch file i have to mention username and password. Whereas i don't want to mention username and password so that nobody can see that. Is there any option to do the same?? I will be thankful.
Command is below in the batch file
exp stores/qwe321 owner='STORES' FILE=f:\data\newdata\ba_%fdate%.dmp STATISTICS=NONE
Regards,
Kamran

If the database server is dedicated to supporting only the database then the only users with direct access to the server should be the System Administrators and the DBA's so the username appearing on the command line is not really an issue. But on system where this is not true it is an issue. If you are using traditional exp, as in the OP, then you can use the userid= parameter to supply the username and password and place the parameter in a parameter file, that is, exp parfile=some_file and this keeps the username/password off the command line so it cannot be seen via ps (UNIX show process command). Also via file permissions you can limit the users with access to using the parfile.
A problem with OS authenicated usernames is that if you allow remote access to the database by OS authenicated users then anyone with control of a server can set up a user account with a name of an OS authenicated user defined to Oracle and then access Oracle via this account. Not allowing remote access limits the problem.

Storing username and passwords in web pages on safari

Hi folks
I am using an iPad 1 and wish to change my previous decisions regarding saving usernames and passwords for web pages within the safari browser.
I guess I have hit the "do not save" or similar option at some stage and I now wish to recall the username and password in future.
Any help would be really appreciated

Make sure that Settings > Safari > AutoFill > Names And Passwords is set 'on'. To be able to store them for sites that you've previously said 'no' to you may also need to clear Safari's history and cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). And possibly clear cookies : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies

Is there away to authenticate the iPad to Wireless without a username and password? (i.e. Device Authentication)

I am contracting for a college and they want to automatically configure 30 iPads for use on their enterprise wireless network.
Current wireless settings are 802.1x using PEAP MSCHAPv2. Users authenticate using their Active Directory accounts. They do have a few PCs setup to do machine authentification using the machines AD account. Is there any equivalent for the iPad?
They are willing to open a new SSID if they need to go to another authenication method in order to use certificate authenication.

Is Radius involved?

Username and Password authentication

Hi,
I am new to both JDBC and MSSQL. I've been connecting to msSQL server without providing username and password (DriverManager.getConnection(String url)). I am wondering how to enforce the username and password authentication so that username and password have to be verified before a connection is made. Thanks in advance.

but where can I get the username & password? I can get
the connection even with any username & password, why?Hi WeiHang,
This is regarding the options you have set in the SQL Server. You have to choose from Windows NT authentication and SQL Server Authentication. If you give SQL Server authentication you have mentioned the username and password and you can connect to database simple using DSN(if you are using JDBC-ODBC). However if you choose WindowsNT authentication you donot specify the user name and password there and you have to enter the same at runtime.
Hope this can help you

Repeatedly being asked for username and password

Good morning,
I have a Windows Home Server which I store my pics and music on, and then sync it with my Mac.
I have connected to the WHS and entered my username and password and ticked the checkbox telling it to store these in keychain.
I then drag the volumes into my user ID logon items under account preferences to auto mount when I next boot.
However every time I boot I have to re-enter the username and password, even if I check the box for store in my keychain it still requires me to re-enter.
Is there a way I can get it to use the stored username and password and not keep re-prompting?
regards,
Greg

Try verifying your keychain for errors.
Open the /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app
Then from the Application Menu choose keychain firstaid. Putin your username and password click on the Verify button.

How to retrieve username and password that I have created in YouTube app in iPhone?

I found out that YouTube in safari and YouTube app in iPhone it self are different thing. So I have created a username and password in YouTube app. Both username and password I have forgotten. How to retrieve my username and password?? I can't use the playlist without the username and password. Please help.

Hi I'm having the same problem. Did u find a solution?

I'm trying to access a forum that requires a user name and password. When I do it on my mac it tells me the password is incorrect but when I do it on my iPad, I can access it without any problem. I can confirm the username and password are the same

I am trying to access a forum for which you need a username and password but it keeps telling me the username/password i've entered are incorrect. Bizarrely, when I enter the same username/password combination on my iPad, it grants access without any problem.
What could be causing this, is it an issue with cookies, caches or similar. How can I resolve it? The forum administrator is at a loss as to what the problem is.

Try the following steps in Safari to see if they help:
1) First try clearing the Safari cache. To do this pull down the Safari menu and select 'Empty cache...', then try logging into the site again.
2) If the issue continues then reset Safari by pulling down the Safari menu and select'Reset Safari...'. You will be presented with a list of items that can be reset. I suggest selecting the 'Reset saved names and passwords', and 'Remove all website data' options at a minimum.
Here is a list of the options and what they do. I pulled it from the Safari help page.
Clear history:
Clears the list of webpages you viewed.
Reset Top Sites:
Clears any changes you made to Top Sites, such as adding or pinning sites. If you also clear your history, your Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari.
Remove all webpage preview images:
Clears any thumbnail images Safari saved of webpages you viewed.
Clear the Downloads window:
Clears the list of files you downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
Remove all website icons:
Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address field and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
Remove saved names and passwords:
Removes user names and passwords that Safari automatically fills in at websites that require them (if the AutoFill feature is turned on).
Remove other AutoFill form text:
Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, that Safari uses to automatically fill in forms on webpages (if the AutoFill feature is turned on). Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
Close all Safari windows:
If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you visited.
Reset all location warnings:
Clears any information websites saved about your location.
Remove all website data:
Removes cookies, tracking information, and other data that websites stored on your computer.

Can I use a stored procedure to validate a username and password?

We are using Discoverer on a standalone server but we have a database link to our reporting database.
Our standalone Discoverer is on a 10g database with a database link. Our reporting database is an 9i database using oracle applications. I have a stored procedure that i can call to validate username and password in the apps.
Is there anyway to call that stored procedure from Discoverer so that my users don't have to have 2 different passwords?
thanks
Angie

Michael.
Let's rewind this discussion for a sec as I have not the faintest idea what you're referring to with the dblinks, query prediction, etc.
I didn't think that was the main thrust of the thread and thought it was if the user could validate a username and password. If they happen to use a dblink, that's another issue.
1. What I"m referring to as good design is the concept of the eul$ triggers that Discoverer offers (the link offered by the user before my response).
I like triggers in Forms, I like trigger in Reports - and I like them in Discoverer. I think they potentially have a great use - the problem is finding that use.
One use I can forsee is setting up an environment or table everytime one enters Discoverer. Or maybe some cleanup after Discoverer is exited (ie: delete that setup table).
2. You mentioned dblinks.
What do I think about 'em? Don't know ... don't care. Haven't had to work with them too much and until that point comes - I'm not worried about them either way.
3. You mention query prediction.
What do I think about it? IMO, turn the darn thing off. I don't really care what it's SUPPOSED to do according to Oracle - in 9 out of 10 client sites I go to ... it's not doing it. It's waste time, processing power, coffee time, whatever ... to come up with a bogus estimate that makes Discoverer looking like a toy.
For example:
prediction time: it takes 6 minutes to come up with an estimate
prediction: Query will take 364 days, 11 hours, 9 minutes, 18 seconds. Do you wish to continue?
me: Duh ... okay.
query runs for: 1 minute, 2 seconds
It's like a Vulcan in that it's incredible detailed on it's assessment on how long it will take. Unlike a Vulcan though, it's completely bogus. Sure it supposed to be better over time but again - in 9 out of 10 client sites I go to, it's a joke and once turned off ... the client couldn't be happier.
So again, let's rewind here. Maybe I'm missing something, but I had no idea this thread was angling to dblink and query prediction, but my views on what I thought we were talking about are above.
Russ
PS. And no I'm not PO'd ... just want to fix what appears to be cross-purposes.

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?
