Authentication dialog appears in background

OSX Maverick latest release, 10.9.4, safari version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4), fresh installation.
When a web page contains some audio/video media Safari displays a proxy authentication dialog in background, the dialog is modal so it blocks the entire page, but it's unreacheable using the mouse or keyboard. It's impossibile to type the credentials in, or to click the ok or cancel buttons...
That's clearly a UI bug, does anyone know a workaround ? it's really a blocking issue, it forces me to use another browser.
Thanks to all
Leonardo

Hi Leonardo
Yes I agree, the issue is not just with auto-start movies but also movies we start manually. Of course it is very confusing for autostart movies as the whole page just mysteriously becomes unresponsive during load! :-)
I haven't had any experience where it happens with our proxy details in the server, for me it is always some proxy server related to the originating video. It is never our proxy server.
For example, if I try to open a Vimeo movie, I get this dialog behind Safari:
And I cannot type *anything* into it, or close it, which is characteristic of this bug.
The server above is something to do with Akamai, so I imagine it is a means of load distribution when serving vimeo video.
Of course, when I take the same computer to home, and use it in an environment with no proxy between myself and the internet, I never see this dialog. So the mystery is where it comes from, and why.
It is possible that our firewall config is somehow dodgy, but I don't manage it, and our IT people are not interested at all.
Because our firewall allows free access for (no need to authenticate) for YouTube, as a result I never see this issue when viewing their videos. Your issue could be minimised, for specific video servers, by allowing unrestricted access to them through your firewall.
Cheers

Corrupt authentication dialog box in 10.10.2

The OS X 10.10.2 update has resulting in corrupt authentication dialog boxes. All characters in the boxes have been replaced with the letter 'A' surrounded by their own box. This is universal throughout the OS. A simple way to see this situation is to go to the Utilities folder and attempt to make a new folder. The authentication box pops on the screen but is entirely unreadable, every letter being an A in a box.
I've done a reinstall of 10.10.1 then re-update to 10.10.2 with the exact same results. The volume being used is only for testing Yosemite and for repairing my main boot volume, which runs Mavericks. Therefore, there isn't much alteration of the volume beyond a clean installation.
Dumping user and system cache then restarting makes no difference. I've checked the volume with both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior and found no problems.
The image below is the authentication box that appears when attempting to change something in the Utilities folder:
Background:
- The problem is on a MacBook Pro 15" from August 2013 with 16 GB of RAM.
- Installed Launch Agents: Little Snitch, Intego VirusBarrier and NetBarrier, and Micromat TechToolPro.
- Installed Launch Daemons: Little Snitch, Intego VirusBarrier and NetBarrier, Micromat TechToolPro and DriveGenius 3.
- No login items.

Further testing has implicated the use of the Yosemite San Francisco Font from 'wellsriley' at GitHub. Placing the display version of the font into the ~/Library/Fonts folder will trigger the problem. Removing the font will immediately end the problem.
'wellsriley' notes that "System Alert dialogs render as [a-in-a-box] when installed improperly", meaning if the fonts are installed into the ~/Library/Fonts folder. This problem was not evident in 10.10.1 from my experience. Instead, it is advised by the developer to only install the fonts into the root /Library/Fonts folder.
My solution for now is to simply remove the fonts and not use them. Problem solved.√

VL10a - Dialog vs. Background

Hi All,
I need input regarding this scenario with tcode VL10a. I have a Sales Order and I create delivery for it through VL10a. My SO has 3 line items. When I process the SO in Dialog mode, a delivery is created for all three line items. When I use the Background mode, a delivery will get created only for the last line item (in this case, item 30). Why is this?
Other notes:
When I run in Background mode, the last line item of SO has a delivery created. When I rerun in Background mode for the same SO, no delivery is created and a message appears telling to look at the logs for information in creating deliveries. So I run in Dialog mode for the other 2 items of the same SO and a delivery is created.
Thanks.

Regression in 7u55+ prompts for authentication dialogs (JDK-8046211)

I'm tracking issue JDK-8046211 and noticed today it was resolved as "won't
fix" without any comment
Our situation: We have a Java applet consisting of 4 jar files and a JNLP
file. These files are served over HTTPS from a public webserver (no
authentication required). The applet contains an up-to-date manifest with
all the entries required since the new Java security baseline. The
applet/JNLP file is accessed from a web application using Javascript
(deployJava.js). All interaction with the applet is through Javascript.
The web application itself runs on a different server and is protected
using client certificates (2-way SSL) and basic authentication.
Now until Java 7u55 everything worked fine. When loading the applet only
one popup was displayed asking the user to trust the applet (which is
properly signed) and that was all.
However since 7u55 (also 7u60) things have changed: the applet loads fine
but as soon as we call a method on the applet (though LiveConnect) the Java
VM displays a popup asking the user to select a client certificate and
thereafter asks the user to authenticate using BasicAuth.
Important note: the user doesn't actually has to select a valid certificate
or enter any credentials. If the user cancels any of the dialogs the applet
continues to function properly. Logging shows the applet is using the same
cookie as the browser so authentication against the server isn't actually
taking place. Basically the Java VM is prompting for authentication dialogs
for no good reason because the user is already authenticated with a browser
cookie.
Prior to 7u55 we didn't experience this issue (we have users with 7u40,
7u45 and 7u51). Altogether it appears we encountered JDK-8046211, which has
the characteristics of a regression issue.
I'm curious if more people have experienced these issues (I know applets aren't the hottest tech out there....)

Yes the problem is due to an extra HTTP call fired from the Java plugin (only under IE, no issues in Firefox) to the page that embeds the applet. So it's different from JDK-8046211 although the result is the same.
We eventually implemented a workaround: we intercept the extra HTTP request in our frontend proxy server (Apache) and always return 200 OK prior to doing BasicAuth. Here's our mod_rewrite config implementing this workaround:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/java_issue_rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Java/1.[7-8]
RewriteRule ^/path/to/page/embedding/java/applet /dummy.html [R=200,L]

Intercepting Server Authentication Dialog

Hi
I am using SunONE Web Server 6.1 and have LDAP authentication running.
What I want to do is intercept just before the standard login dialog appears and send a request with the necessary credentials back to the server for authorization i.e. so the user doesn't have to enter the details in the pop up
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks for your help
James

In the admin GUI
=> goto Global Settings tab ->

When trying to save a file, no file dialog appears

The last 2 weeks, often when I want to save a file --- any file, eg an image, I right-click "save image as" and then wait for a file dialog to ask where to save, then nothing, no matter how long I wait.
If I exit Firefox and restart it it may work normally for a while, i.e., the dialog appears, but soon the same problem comes back. This is of course infuriating when you have gone through some tedious procedure, typed a captcha, a password, etc, etc before a website allows you to save a file.
The other r-click options work -- I can open a file with an application, I can even use "DownThem All", but Firefox's own save dialog is unusable.
Firefox 27.01 on XP

You can check it DTA or another extension isn't causing this problem.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

No Save As dialog appearing in 3D Toolkit

Hi!
When I right click a 3D annotation in Acrobat 3D v8 I can choose "Edit in 3D toolkit". Once there, I make some changes to the model and want to save it as a new u3d file. So I choose Save as from the file menu and the "Export Properties of Universal 3D Export" dialog appears but there is no option where to save the file.
Is it not possible or am I missing something?
/Joachim W

It doesn't provide a SaveAs... dialog for an unnamed file.
Here is a workaround:
As soon as you bring the model into the 3D toolkit, click Save As..., saving it to the temp directory.
Then load the temp file into the 3D toolkit.
Click Save As... now and you will be able to save the u3d file anywhere you like.

Prevent File Save Dialog appearing?

I have been using Excel 2010 to create Word Documents and then use .SaveAs to save the newly created file without any issues
When I moved to Office 2013 the same code now presents a File Save dialog box.
I have researched the issue and can find no way to prevent the Dialog appearing (and worse regardless of the user selection the Excel code crashes)
The following is a simplified version of the troublesome code
Sub TestWordSaveAs2()
Dim InvoiceProFormaFileName As Variant
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim WordApplication As Object
Dim WordDoc As Object
' Prompt for a word document
InvoiceProFormaFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Word Documents, *.docx", Title:="Any Word File", MultiSelect:=False)
Set WordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = WordApplication.Documents.Open(InvoiceProFormaFileName) ' Open the pro-forma invoice
' Create a new name
NewFileName = Replace(InvoiceProFormaFileName, ".docx", "2.docx")
WordDoc.SaveAs2 Filename:=NewFileName, FileFormat:=16, AddtoRecentFiles:=False ' <======= this line Shows the File Save Dialog and then fails
WordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=0 ' wdDoNotSaveChanges
' Finished with the Word Application so can close
WordApplication.Quit
End Sub
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I have create a doc file and a excel file in my pc, after I run the code you have provided ,and choose the doc file I just created, it runs without any save dialog. And My Office is Pro Plus 2013 .
I have upload my sample to OneDrive, you can download it here:
http://1drv.ms/1DhnMe5
When you run this sample, will this show the save dialog again ?
To narrow down this issue, can you create a new empty word and choose it in the excel, does it will happen again? if it is convenient, can you share the doc file you're using? Have you update your office ?

Open File Dialog appears TWICE when using servlet to download an attachment

Hi,
This is KILLING me!!! Please HELP.....
I am using a servlet to download an xml file, which I build on the fly based on user interaction.
The open file dialog appears nicely and I hit open. The dialog pops up again immediately and I have to click open again in order to open the file.
This works fine when file extension is txt and I DONOT have to click twice. Here is the code:
String xmlString = getXMLString(); //builds xml
String fileName = "myFile.xml";
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" +fileName);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.print(xmlString);
out.flush();
I am using IE6.0 sp2

Suppress HTTP Authentication dialog for invalid credentials

If I want a custom login screen with domain, username and password fields for my AIR application, that uses Basic Authentication on the server, I can use
<code>
URLRequestDefaults.setLoginCredentialsForHost(myDomain, myUsername, myPassword);
</code>
and it works fine. But if I enter invalid credentials, the "built-in" authentication dialog pops up. How can I suppress that? I read somewhere that I could use URLRequestDefaults.authenticate = false; but that just seems to kill the authentication process altogether.
Any ideas?

No, that's not the case. I am talking about the user authentication dialog that is shown whenever you access a member restricted web site.
Through Java, we can pass the user name and password values if we know, and the dialog will not be shown. But, I face the problem in NS 4.7x.

Can't change default user name on Authentication dialogs

Due to a corrupt user account, I had to create a new user account. I specified a "2" at the end of my full name i.e. "Full Name 2" because I couldn't use the same full name as the corrupt account.
I still haven't deleted the old corrupt one yet just in case I need something, however, now that I am using the new account I renamed the new account to "Full Name" without the "2" at the end of it, but for some strange reason OS X still uses "Full Name 2" on the authentication dialog boxes.
Just to summarise, I do not have an account called "Full Name 2" anymore - I've even updated the contact record - and when I get asked to authenticate via a dialog box, the name defaults to "Full Name 2".
Not sure why it's still doing this and how do I get rid of it - I just it to default to "Full Name".
At the moment I can login with both "Full Name" and "Full Name 2".
I tried deleting some preferences and re-log back in - but this didn't do the trick, but admittedly I may not have trashed the right ones.
Please help.
Thanks.

First, I create a new user account via System Preferences -> Accounts. I gave it a different account name and I entered the same full name. It rejected it saying the full name was already in use, so I renamed the full name to "Full Name 2" just to I can create the account.
Then, I logged in to the new account. Tested it, set it up how I wanted it.
Then I logged back in to the old faulty account, and renamed the full name from "Full Name" to "Full Name OLD". I did this via Accounts. I simply double clicked the old account and the edit window showed up. I just renamed the full name field.
I then edited the new account, and renamed the full name field from "Full Name 2" to "Full Name". Since the original account now had a different name, I was now able to rename the new account to the desired name, i.e. without a "2" in it.
However - now it shows a 2 in the default account name whenever I need to authenticate something.

Dialog process vs Background process

Hi,
What is the difference between dialog and background process?
Can a dialog process is used in a process chain?
Does an ABAP program followed by change run be a dialog process or background process in a process chain?
What is the standard maximum runtime duration of a dialog process?

file save... delay before dialog appears

Hello,
Since I upgrade to 10.4.5, the first time I choose "save" in every application , it takes a very long time (5 a 10 sec) before the saving dialog appears. Later in the same session for the same application it seems to work correctly, but the same thing happens with each other application. Is it normal, explainable or what ?

Hi, Michel.
Do you have an iDisk? If so, disable iDisk auto-sync in System Preferences > .Mac per this thread.
Good luck!

I opened a new user on my computer yesterday with administrative privledges. I then opened up an itunes account from this new user. It seemed to go pretty well. I haven't downloaded any new songs yet or moved them to my account. I don't know how to move songs yet. I'm reading iPod and iTunes for Dummeies. Very appropriate for me. I will let you know when I manage to do this and am successful. Once again, thank you for your kindness and help. Kay 205
