Browser login window instead of OTN Sign-In page?

First click on the Sign-In link on OTN Forums on an iPhone this morning produced a browser username/password dialog. Cancelled this as it isn't normal and it said password would be sent in clear text. Second attempt brought up the normal OTN Sign-in page and I was able to sign-in successfully.
Now tried to sign-in on a PC running IE6 and it is always producing the browser username/password dialog. Window title says Connect to forums.oracle.com. Only other text is forums55.
Problem?
(Not about to commit my password to anything that's purpose isn't better identified and clearly secure.)

"Upgraded" meaning in this case that - when you log on through that pop-up - SSO between the different Oracle sites doesn't work anymore (OTN, metalink,mix etc.). Almost like a M$ upgrade ;-)

  • Which event indicates a web-browser login window?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to access a data source via URLRequest. It works
    with basic authentication and everything is fine when the
    authentication data is correct. But as soon as the login data is
    incorrect the browser shows a custom login window where the user is
    able to provide the correct data. I want to suppress this behaviour
    and handle these false inputs in my application. I've read the API
    but couldn't find the right event which I need to register.
    Does anybody know how to solve this issue or which event I
    need to listen to?
    Bye,

  • How to duplicate browsing windows, instead of reopening the home page, when opening new windows?

    When any new browser windows are opened in Firefox, it reopens and re-reopens and re-re-reopens the home page instead of opening ANY new copies of ANY of the browser windows from which the command "New Window" was originally made.

    Try this extension:

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Darwin Console appears instead of Login Window

    The server for some reason boots into the Console window (Darwin) and fails to reach the Login window and the Mac Os X GUI. Why has this happened(twice), how can I resolve this without destroying the data on the server. I am using it as a standalone server within a high school.

    Read what it's telling you on screen.
    There's some issue that's preventing the OS from booting normally. This is commonly tracked to some kind of disk-related issue and running fsck or other disk repair process is usually sufficient to restore performance.

  • Desktop won't display after login window

    Hi,
    I'm trying to help my sister in-law with her computer (PowerBook G4). She claimed it was having a lot of problems and thought a clean install would fix things. However she had lost her install discs, and now I've seemed to make things worse.
    I started by trying to back up her computer - copying the hard drive to an external HD. However I kept getting a -36 Error. I then connected her PowerBook G4 to my MacBook Pro (10.5.8 2.33 Intel) via Firewire and in Target mode used Disk Utility to make a disk image. Unfortunately I got the -36 Error again. I Repaired the hard drive with disk utility, but it said everything was fine. Then I read on the forum that the -36 Error meant that it was a corrupt file that was causing the issue. Since it always errored out in the same area, I simply deleted the folder in that area. After that, the disk image worked.
    (This part is bad - I know now, but didn't when I did it:) I then put in the gray install CD from my MacBook Pro (Intel) into her PowerBook G4. I opened the system preferences and changed the startup disk from "Macintosh HD" to my install disk. I restarted the computer... it did not boot up. I connected the two laptops again and force restart in target mode. I was able to eject the CD so that when it restarted again, it reverted back to the "Macintosh HD" This is when I discovered that the gray discs are specific to computer and my plan would not work.
    However, now her computer boots up to the Login window as normal... but when you login... the "blue desktop image with design" displays, but no icons appear. The computer hard drive spins, the monitor will go to sleep and wake up, the trackpad will move the arrow, but no icons and now menus?? I've left it overnight to see if it eventually will change, but nothing changes. If I press keys, the first few won't do anything, but it quickly gets to a point where it just beeps at me each time I press a key.
    I can sign in using single user and already ran the fsck that is mentioned throughout the forums. It (like the disk utility) finds no errors. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi BD & RC,
    The new user reset worked great to allow me to login again. Instead of doing a clean install, I just went through her applications and deleted ones that I thought could be suspect for some of the issues she was having. It seems to be running fine.... with one exception... the Airport won't work.
    When I went into the Network settings, it was stuck in a continuous loop with the error "Another application has changed your network settings." I saw BD's help on another post to go into security and check "Require Password to unlock each secure system preference" to break the loop ( huge THANKS!!). After trying to set up multiple new locations, it finally dawned on me that the Airport was not an option. When went into System Profiler and chose Airport Card, it says "No information found."
    So long story short... it appears that with all the little issues going on on this computer, the monster issue wouldn't have been solved by a clean install anyway (you were right RC)... the Airport Express card must have died.
    I guess she'll either need to start connecting with an ethernet cable or buy a new airport extreme card.
    Thanks for all your help guys!

  • 10.3.9 - Server connections via AFP getting FTP login window

    After a server restart, users who browser to our server via Networks->My Network are getting an FTP login window rather than the normal AFP one. If they login that way they mount the FTP root.
    AFP is still working though, as users can connect fine by going to Finder->Go->connect to server and choose a shared folder to mount.
    Any ideas on what's going on?

    This is mostly a "me too" but I've got similar issues. Our Panther server will suddenly become very slow. Not just file transfers; using remote desktop to attempt a login at the "console" is also slow. Stopping and restarting AFP service clears it up temorarily, as does rebooting the server.
    The coincidence here is that it started happening when we upgraded a lab of Windows 98 boxes to Windows XP. You would think this would only affect SMB service, but it's AFP that gets hit.
    Again, server shows light CPU and Network loads, but transfers perform like I would expect from 10Mb hubs instead of 100/1000Mb switches.
    Was your performance drop just a sudden occurence or did it happen after a significant change somewhere in your network?

  • Bi Dashboards issue works properly some times and after not display pointers data and give un expected error and throw login window

  • My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

    I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
    My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
    In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus."  As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
    Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

    I am worried about a keystroke logged or at least, trying to rule it out.

    WARNINGS in Console include:
    [NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] is deprecated in MacOSX 19.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction] instead.
    There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues? 
    I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
    Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
    All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

  • Opening a URL/File in new window instead of new tab

    I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like to check anyway.  When setting an action to Open URL or File for a button/click box/hyperlink/etc, is there a setting in Captivate to open the URL/File in a new WINDOW instead of a new TAB? I know to use the "New" setting along with the Open URL or File action. I assume opening in a new window instead of a new tab by default is going to depend on the settings of whatever browser you use, but like I said, just wanted to check. Thanks!

    If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
    window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");
