Best place to store numbers and passwords?

I currently store all my sentitive data in Contacts. E.g. under my bank's contact I list (in notes) my account numbers, user name, password, etc.
Given that many apps can access my Contacts, I'm guessing this isn't the smartest place to keep the data (although convenient)?
So, if I should take that sensitive data out of my Contacts, where should I put it (that is more secure)? I need the data on my Mac and also my iPhone so I need that iCloud syncing. Should I buy a special app from the AppStore (both Mac AppStore and iOS AppStore)? Or just have it in a Notes doc or something? Or just leave in my Contacts?
Thanks for any advice.

Keychains can also be used to store confidential information that does not belong to a specific
application, such as bank, credit card or confidential personal information in the form of a Secure note
item. These can be added to existing keychains from the File -> New Secure Note Item. It is
recommended that secure notes be added to a separate keychain that does not share the same
password as the login keychain. This ensures that should the confidentiality of the login password be
compromised, the secure note will remain secure.
To create a new keychain and add a secure note, choose File -> New Keychain, once a name and
password have been chosen, select the keychain and choose File -> New Secure Note Item:

Best place to store THUMBNAIL AND WAVEFORM CACHE?

I was taught that when creating a new project, it's best to create a folder
on a seperate media drive, and direct your scratch discs, thumbnail & waveform cache as well as the autosave vault to that drive & folder. This way,
everything associated with that one project resides in that one folder on
your media drive, seperate from the computers hard drive and if you have
to move the project to another computer or delete everything associated
with the project, you just move or delete that one folder.
This has served me well in the past,...but,
I was recently working with (6) different G4 1.2 laptops running FCP 4.5.
It was a training class and the machines were working 8 hours a day for
6 days straight. They were not networked together in anyway.
Periodically, everyone of them would "lose" the waveform cache and thumbnail cache pictures while editing. I don't mean the folders would
disappear, I just mean they'd stop generating the little thumbnails and
waveform pics on the timeline. The temporary fix was to just save the
project, close FCP, and reopen the project. They'd all pop back in and be
there again for a while.
#1 - Anybody know why this would happen?
#2 - It was suggested to me that to avoid this happening in the future,
that you should should direct the thumbnail and waveform cache folders
to live on the HARD DRIVE of the computer, the same one with the app,
and NOT in the same folder as the seperate media drive where you capture
and store your video.
This goes against everything I originally learned, but was wondering what
others might have to say or have experienced on this point.
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

gulp ... jumps right in with both feet ...
I think you were taught wrong.
this is not the official path as laid down by the gods of fcp
conventional wisdom suggest that you should set your scratch disk location once and then let fcp organise everything else.
re your questions:
1. no idea ... not the end of the world but certainly a weird glitch tho.
2. some do, some don't ... tiny files w. very low overhead, location shouldn't be a factor in the problem you noted

What is the best place to store salts

Hi,
I'm using a combination of flex ,CF and MS SQL
Where is the best place to store salts for user passwords?

Hi,
Table is good if "constant" might change so you can create APEX form to maintain those.
You could also use package specification just for constants e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE MY_GLOBALS
AS
g_const_1 CONSTANT DATE := TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 365;
g_const _2 CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'somestring';
END;
Then you can refer those in procedures, functions and APEX processes like (package_name.constant_name) MY_GLOBALS.g_const_1.

Where's the best place to store email templates?

Hi all;
In a web app I store all my email templates in a files folder in the web app. Can't do that with a worker in a cloud service - no files. So where's the best place to store them? In a BLOB? And if so, is there a way to have files in my project get automatically
written to BLOB entries when I publish?
thanks - dave
What we did for the last 6 months -
Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

Hi,
I think we could use azure blob to save files.
>>is there a way to have files in my project get automatically written to BLOB entries when I publish?
If you choose azure cloud service, you could write the upload code at role onstart method. If you choose Azure website, please consider use azure webjob to do this, refer to

Best place to store application database

Where is the best (most secure) place to store database files that are application specific?
I'm writing a kiosk application that runs on Windows 7 x64 as a desktop application. A non-privileged user will be logged in to Windows and the application runs as this non-privileged user. It relies on 2 MySql database files, one with read-only
access and the other with read-write access. Where is the best place to store these 2 database files such that only the user that the application is running as (the currently logged in user) has access to them? My concern is keeping them secure
if someone manages to log into the machine as a different user. Am I best to put them under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\<MyCompany>\<MyApp> ?

Yes. You should programmatically obtain the directory by calling SHGetKnownFolderPath() +
FOLDERID_LocalAppData
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762188(v=vs.85).aspx
By Default the only users with access to a user's %AppData% directory are LocalSystem, Administrators and the user itself. A different user could not access the directory unless the user was an Administrator who was elevated.

Where do you store documents and passwords on Ipad?

where do you store documents and passwords on Ipad?

Usually on the iPad, documents are associated with a particular app, which has its storage area for documents. A good Swiss Army Knife for docs is GoodReader.
Do a search in the iTunes App Store and you will find scores of password apps.

What is the best place to store global constants?

Hi,
I want to store some contants and access it through procedures and functions, what would be the best place to do this? I thought substitution strings would work, but it isn't working for me in my procedures. Can we use Substitution string in compile code such as procedures and functions? I use SQL developer to write procedures.

Best way to store documents and images in a web application

All,
Which is the best way to store the documents, is it Oracle DB or file system or Virtual Directory Mapping in weblogic.
We are working on a Internet based application into CRM domain, there is a requirement where user can upload and download the documents (.pdf, .xls, .doc etc). Right now we are storing images in the DB. Is it advisable to store all the docs in database and will it scale up in future.
PS: There is no scope for using content server because of business constraints.
Please let me know, thanks in advance.
Regards
Girish

Best way to store depends entirely on requirements.
Why store it in the database when it for example is purely static images (e.g. used as part of the web GUI)? Instead that can be served up directly by a web server - which is specifically designed for this.
If it is more than just an image, but include tags (non spatial data attributes), requires transaction control (e.g. updating an old passport/id photo with a newer one), auditing, filtering/searching and ordering, requires backup, needs security and access controls, and so on - than that is most definitely a database function.
So the issue is not what the binary file is or contains - an image or pdf or something else. It depends entirely on how it is to be used and what the business requirements are in this respect.

Best place to store game currency

Hi, where would be the recommended place to store game currency i.e coins?
ApplicationData::Current->RoamingSettings
Looks good since this will sync between devices. However, I get intermittent failures with
'The RPC server is unavailable.'
This would be bad if the user had just bought currency. Also, I like this to work correctly if the user should drop offline for whatever reason,
I'm guessing this will fail if the user loses connection. So should I write to both local and roaming settings?
Finally, if the user does not have a microsoft account, will this work, and if they install the game before they bind it to a microsoft account, will it still work?

Roaming should be fine. That saves locally then since in the background. The user doesn't need a connection, though it won't roam until there is one.
The user needs an account to install the app, so that won't be a problem

Best place to store resultset of a Web Application

Hi
The setting:
I have a Web application - The servlet accesses the backend and populates resultset. The results should be stored in beans so JSP can access them and display them.
The database resultset is temp and specific to each user or each request and it either is used across session or across request.
Question1:
How do I store the resultset in beans ? Should I create a list or arraylist? or there are other specific beans that handle such requests? I am just familiar with beans that set or get basic type vars like integers and strings
Question 2:
When resultset is used across session or across request, what is the best option to store them in? Meaning in each case what is the best option?
I really appreciate your advise to make sure my application is set correct from the beginning. If this is not the correct forum to send it to , kindly pointout the correct forum so I can send it.
Yara

I just meant if it should be in a list/array list or
some kind of bean .... I was suggesting a Collection of DTO's. "Bean" is a global term for a class having private properties and public accessors/mutators. DTO's follows this pattern with the goal to transfer data between the data tier and the business tier.
Do you recommend I use JSF ?
will this enable easier access to display the results
in tabular formats ?
Or I can get same results using the model of
servlet/jsp/bean without JSF?Or I recommend it? Well, it depends on your requirements, knowledge and time. You can write it all using plain vanilla servlets and JSP, but you can also consider a MVC framework, which is generally a better choice for an enterprise webapplication (better maintainability, reuseability, etc). If you knows nothing about servlets and JSP, I rather recommend you to learn that first before using any MVC framework. JSF provides the h:dataTable component which eases the displayment of a Collection of DTO's. In JSP you can use c:forEach to iterate through a Collection.

Best place to store a subject's name

Would it be better to put a subject's name under the People keyword or to put it in the caption?
I am used to iViewMedia Pro and this is really different for me.
Suppose I want to find all images of Mary Smith? What's the best way to make sure I find them all in Aperture?
This is really a whole new way of working but I am starting to like it -- maybe .

David,
I'm in the same boat and thinking the Caption field is the best place as you can select it to show in the view options for both the main and grid viewers. It will be interesting to hear other thoughts on this.

Where is best place to store birthdays ?

Where is the best place to record people's birthdays for the year ? So I don't have to record every year ?

I use the calendar that comes with your iPhone. It has a feature that allows you to repeat the event yearly, and it has reminders as well. For example; lets say my son's name is Sam.....I open the calendar to his birthdate, type in.."Sam Smith - B/D" (2000). I then show the event as an ALL DAY event, next I show it to REPEAT YEARLY, then I select a 1st re minder for one week earlier, and the 2nd reminder on the day of the event ( the default time is 9:00 AM....but you can change this>. Hope this info is helpful.

How to Store UserID and Password on Server

Hi,
I m using Applet-Servlet Communication. When my applet calls Servlet it makes database connection and retruns Object to Applet. Can ne body pls. tell me instead of hardcoding database userid and password in servlet, what is a most convinient way to a pass these parameters to servlet. Properties files are one of the way, but is it secure and suaitable on the Web? Is there ne other funda for this?
Thanx in advance
Sandeep

No, I don't think the use of properties file is a suitable
approach.
You can use JDBC-realm .Accept the username & password from user,pass these values to the servlet and then validate this against the names stored in the database.
