Authenticating Windows using Smartcard

Hello...
I am developing an application that uses smart card authentication. It is almost done but a big detail. How can I actually login the user instead of requesting him to enter his password?
I need to use smart card instead of password to authenticate. I have created a custom credential provider but I don't kinow which command to send it in order to log into the system using certain user (the one associated with the card)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Which of either ( Windows 7 or 8) is better suited to be installed on Mac OS X. While carrying out the windows installation process if anything bad ( God forbid) happens will my Mac be safe to and can it be brought to back its original state. I desperately need windows but am skeptical about the installation process.
Can you confirm whether the steps mentioned in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iMxPpb534U can be followed to install windows on Mac.
Thank you very much for all the help.

Using Windows.Devices.SmartCards API give 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException'

Hi everybody,
In the past I used the Windows.Devices.SmartCards APIs for Windows Phone 8.1 with success (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.devices.smartcards.aspx).
Now i want to use the same APIs to connect my PC (Windows 8.1) to a SmartCardReader (e.g. ACR122) and read some data from a SmartCard.
Unfortunately, when i use those APIs, a System.UnauthorizedAccessException is launched.
How can i resolve it?
Many thanks!
This is the code:
private async Task getSmartCardReader()
string selector = SmartCardReader.GetDeviceSelector(SmartCardReaderKind.Generic);
DeviceInformationCollection devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(selector);
Debug.WriteLine("Number of devices: "+devices.Count.ToString());
if (devices != null && devices.Count != 0)
foreach (DeviceInformation s in devices)
try
Debug.WriteLine("Device Id: "+s.Id);
Debug.WriteLine("Device Name: " + s.Name);
Debug.WriteLine("Is Device Enabled: " + s.IsEnabled);
//Here is the line that launches exception
SmartCardReader reader = await SmartCardReader.FromIdAsync(s.Id);
catch (Exception e) {
Debug.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);

Windows Authentication by using HTMLDB and Active directorty (AD)

Is it possible to write an application by using HTMLDB to use windows authentication by using Active Directory (AD) ?
Thanks!

Hi Tanya,
The IS_MEMBER routine won't necessarily work with AD since it actually checks for the sort of user/group relationship that is stored in OID (AD can store the relationship in a different way).
To check group membership you will need to write your own code which checks the group and/or user to determine whether they are in a specific group or not. I believe there are already some examples of that code in this forum, if you search for 'group and ldap' you should be able to find some examples.
If not, then post back and I'll try and dig something out.

Installing AUTHENTIC windows 7 ultimate 64bit on Macbook Pro - ERROR, help!

I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit (not the beta or RC, this is an authentic windows 7 DVD -- signature edition) on my macbook pro using Bootcamp. When the computer tries to reboot, i get a message that says:
1.
2.
select cd-rom boot type:"
I saw forum posts with this problem where people were using improperly burned windows 7 versions, however, this is not a burned DVD -- its authentic from microsoft. This means i cant reburn the dvd...
Any suggestions?!

Did you by any chance install Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro?
My MacBook Pro was working perfectly fine. Installed windows many times the last 2-3 years and never had problems.
I installed Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and since then I get this exact same error with all my Windows Install discs (ones that always worked before!).
Whatever I do. I can't get any Windows installed anymore.
The discs are fine, Bootcamp menu reads it and recognise it. But the moment you try boot from it you end up with the error the OP is describing!
And all this, after I installed Snow Leopard. Restoring to previous versions of MacOSX did not help!
So it seems that the Snow Leopard installation does something to the DVD drives on the MacBook Pro's (upgrading firmware whatever) and now it's ruined!!

Authentication Window

Hi
I have installed Snow Leopard 4 times now and each time i get too a point that I cannot see the authentication window. First thing first. When i installed it everything was ok, i installed some software and after some time when i wanted to install something using Installer but when i get to the last part where i click install it just blinks that it acknowledge the mouse click but nothing happend (there should be an authentication window for user password but it doesn't show). The same is with locks. There are some locks in different parts of System Preferences (like in accounts) and every time i click on one i get a message authenticating (and again the authentication window should show up) but after a second or two it returns to "Click the lock to make changes.". Anybody had similar problem? It only accrues in Snow Leopard. I have tried an upgrade on Leopard aswell as a Erase and Install no difference.

Hi my good friends,
Are there another possible causes or solutions to this problem? I have exactly the same problem but I think it is not the keyboard layout the cause at least in my case. Snow Leopard chooses the correct keyboard layout the standard *"ANSI 102 keys US and Others"* . Also I heard that a possible cause could be duplicate fonts. I opened Font Book and clicked *"Select Duplicate Fonts"* and found some duplicates (shows a yellow triangle next to them) and then clicked *"Resolve Duplicates"* Well, that didn't do the trick neither.
Please let's keep the brain juices flowing to see if we can fix this problem for real. Thanks very much

Asking authentication window for annonymous users enable bi site when view dashboards or (deploy dashboards to view by anonymous users in sharepoint 2013 )

Hi
in sharepoint 2013 i created bi center site
1) and i followed best practices from Technet for how to create Secure store service,performance Point service applications
2) and added Unattended service account permissions in SSAS data sources,
3) given db_owner permissions for performance point service application pool account in content database.
4) and my requirement is that deployed dashboards and pointers can be viewable by any users , who without login to
sharepoint web application,
so i enable anonymous access for whole web application and bi site.
but even when i open bi dashboards without login by view permission user, it asking authentication window.
i open dashboard designer and deployed using spfarm user in sharepoint webfront end server.

PerformancePoint generally does not support Anonymous access, as is the case when using Excel Services data connections:

Proxy authentication window

I've installed Java Web Start and I'm experiencing the following behaviour.
My web browser has a proxy configured and in the Java Web Start
preferences it's specified to use the browser configuration (not
manual).
Now, sometimes the window asking for proxy authentication appears,
even when I'm not launching a Java Web Start application.
It seems to me that the proxy authentication window appears when a new Java Virtual Machine is invoked.
Is it a known behaviour ? What's the reason for it ? How can we avoid
it ?
We think it would be very annoying for a user beeing asked repeatedly for proxy authentication, expecially when he/she doesn't understand the reason why it happens.
My best regards
Cristina Tomacelli

... to tweak the config files ?
If you are on Win32 and your proxy is using ? la NTLM authentication then the 1.4.2 should fix this...

Avoid a second authentication windows

Hi everybody
I have the following problem: I�m developing a three-tier application: the first tier is a swing based applet accesses via web browser. The second one is a servlet witch GET method sends that applet (that is, the HTML page, the applet class file embedded and three jar files). This servlet runs in an iPlanet server configured for require basic authentication. The problem is: When I access the servlet with a Netscape browser for retrieves the applet, it prompts for login/password. That is ok, but when the applet is download, the JVM shows a second authentication window before my own code starts the execution (that means: "I can't do anything in the code!!!").
The problem seams to be very strange: if I use JVM 1.3, it's not necessary to write login password in the second window (you must only press enter), but with JVM 1.4 it's required for continue. I have tried with two different netscape versions: 4.7 and 6.2. With IE is worse, because the navigator doesn't download the applet.
Thank you very much

Thank you very muchThere are several things that could be causing this.. Main assumption is that your JSP has coded the applet tag correctly. I'm familiar that there are multiple ways for webservers to handle the tag -- try ALL of them...
Is your code trying to access something outside of the sandbox? Then you might need to sign the jars. Is your code running behind an authenticating proxy? Not sure what to do here, it may very well be necessary to re-authenticate depending on the firewall configuration. Are you sure the jars contain all the necessary classes? If not, the applet will try and get them from the codebase. This may or may not cause a login window to popup, but just food for thought.
Have you considered using the java plug-in? Browser JVMs are different and can't guarantee you consistant functionality. Using the plug-in would guarantee consistant results. It's a pretty heavy download, but only would be necessary one time. Likewise, your applet could load much faster in that you would only need to jar YOUR classes and not the additional swing classes that the browswer jvm might not have. By the way, if you are using the plug-in and the client is behind a firewall or some sort of authenticating proxy, there are settings in the plug-in the client can adjust to alleviate problems.
Best of luck.

Extra Network authentication window

I have a customer who is using Desktop Utility to gain wireless access using 802.1g. Client is set to use static username/password for physical network access, then windows user/password for further access. Client get prompted for network username/password even though using static info. If they cancle initial window, authentication continues using static entry. Why are they getting this initial window?

Redirect to SAP authentication window

Hi,
Ive created an application that requires authentication (sap.authentication value true on application properties).
Initially, when the user starts the application, he has to login using a default authentication window provided by SAP.
How can I perform a logout and redirect to the default authentication window?
Thanks in advance,
Ricard.

Oscar,
The code should be even simpler:
WDClientUser.forceLogoffClientUser(null);
Cut form doc:
<i>url - the URL of the page that is shown to the user after logoff was done. If the parameter is null, the redirect is done to the "LogoffURL" URL that can be specified in the application properties. If this URL is also not defined, a redirect to a Web Dynpro internal logoff page is done.</i>
So you may either accept default logoff-page (just text "Web Dynpro application terminated. Good bye!" or provide your own page via application properties).
Next, it is impossible to just log-off to auth screen. It is necessary to set as log-off URL some application that requires authentication also.
This way WD will first log-off user, then shows auth-screen and then login him again to the target application.
So try the following:
1. Use code with null URL, forget about WDConfiguration.
2. In NW IDE open your application properties, and add standard property "log-off URL", for example "/useradmin/userAdminServlet?userProfileView";
This works for me (first application may be either with or without auth). My environment is NW04s, but this should work on NW04 as well.

How to open an URL and close the URL window, using adobe javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to open an URL and close the URL back again(without allowing the user to perform any other operation)? I was able to acheive the opening of the URL, using the app.launchURL("address". true); - But here it lauches in new window, and how do i close the window using the javascript. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all
In addition to what Bobby W - Adobe TS added, you might find
the following useful as a bypass or workaround to the pesky prompt.
var pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;window.open("
http://www.adobe.com");
pw.close();
I think this will only work for IE browsers. Actually, I
think the whole window.close() only works for IE, but could be
wrong about that.
Cheers... Rick

Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Open several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document

How do I open several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document? I'm using Reader 11.0.03 and Windows 7.

That would be a nice feature! Suggest it at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform - hopefully it will make it into Reader XII.

Open Page in new window using hyper link

I put the window.open method on OnClick event of outputlink to open a page in new window, but the page is started in a old window.
How do I start the page in a new window.
My sintaxe of outputlink:

</h:outputLink>

Hi,
Following are the steps to open a new window using the window.open method for the hyperlink component:
1. Drag and drop a hyperlink component onto the page
2. In the properties sheet go to the Value property and delete the value present there
3. Click on the ... button next to the onclick property
4. Enter the line of code given below:
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","New window");
5. Save and run the project
On clicking on the hyperlink a new window will open with the www.yahoo.com page.
Hope this helps
