Browser user agent

Hi Guys,
does anyone know if it's possible to set the browser user agent?
I want my application to be identified as a mobile device so that I get smaller log in screens on sites that identify by user agent.
It would be nice to have :)

D'Oh! You are correct. I was writing that from memory which has just proven itself to be ridiculously flawed!
I meant this:
final WebView browser = new WebView();
final WebEngine webEngine = new WebEngine("http://www.oracle.com");
Some websites check the user agent to determine if they are smart phones or not and reduce (compact) the size of the display/content for better usability. I thought it might be nice to try to take advantage of that if at all possible.
I guess it's not possible to set however. Going to http://whatsmyuseragent.com shows some nice information about the JavaFX web client.

Creative Cloud User Agent String spoofing old Chrome Browser?

Was troubleshooting Creative Cloud not working on our network and noticed it is spoofing an old Chrome browser User Agent String.
When Creative Cloud launches it presents itself as: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.68 Safari/537.22
This is the user agent string of Google Chrome version 25 (Chrome is currently at version 32)
Looking for any information on why Creative Cloud is using an old Chrome user agent string, and why can't it use a unique user agent?

How to add iphone user agent in safari browser running on windows xp

How to add new user agent (iphone user agent) to safari browser(version 3) which is running on windows xp os .
thanks in advance

UPDATE: We were able to further identify the root cause of the problem to be when anonymous access is turned off and the subweb is set up to use basic and integrated authentication (IIS settings). To test this, we removed integrated authentication (leaving only basic authentication in place) and the problem was fixed. However, this is not a viable solution as we need to use integrated authentication (for various other reasons).

Get User Agent (Browser) in Webdynpro 7.01

Hello Community,
Some time ago, I already asked this question. Then, we were on NW04. That was the Thread: [Old Thread|Get User Agent (Browser) in Webdynpro;
The solution to retrieve the User-Agent was:
HttpServletRequest request =((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
Now, "IWebContextAdapter" does not work anymore. So I'm in need of another solution. The suggestion of
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject();
String value = request.getHeader("<Param Name>");
in the old thread still throws a "ClassCastException".
I have also found this Thread: [Other Thread|Get User Agent;
But here the suggestion is
HttpServletRequest request = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getProtocolRequest();
String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
what doesn't work, because it seems, there is no method "getProtocolRequest()".
I'd be glad, if anyone would suggest a working way of how to retrieve the User Agent in webdynpro NW 7.0 EHP 1 SPS 04.
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,
Can you try using this line of code. You can directly get the value of the request object using this.
WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("parameter_name");
// There is getParameterMap() method in which you can know what all parameters are available to be captured.
Map parameterMap = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameterMap();
I hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,
Pravesh

Browser with spoofed user agent?

Hi, Does anybody know any -GOOD- mobile internet browser that can allow spoofing the user agent? I hate it when sites redirect to their mobile version based on the user agent of the web browser someone is using.
I know that Opera Mobile allows spoofing the user agent, but on many websites I am still being redirected to the mobile version.
I just want the full non-mobile version of the website, FFS.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hm, nevermind, I think I have resolved the issue with Skyfire.

User Agent of Adobe Webcapture 9.0? Which browser engine is used?

What please is the User Agent of Adobe Webcapture 9.0 for Windows, please?
Which browser engine is Adobe Web capture using if being launched through Adobe Acrobat Pro?
Your help would be very much appreciated.

Having same problem using:
Adobe reader 9.3.2.163
Windows 7 Home premium Version 6.1.7600, 64bit
IE 8.0.7600.16385
Possible solutions found:
1. Emailed document to myself from within the reader window (you can enable email button by right clicking on print icon, brings up a menu where clicking on "email" enables the email button on the menu, clicking on that brings up a window where you can send link or copy, send copy spawns an outlook message to yourself with the attachment already filled in, email). Upon receipt, attachment can be saved (right click, save as).
2. Turn of IE protected mode, restart IE, view the pdf, the save icon is now active. (Your computer is at risk using this option - if you turn it off - you probably should go back and turn protected mode back on again).
Anyone have any other suggestions? Just glad to find a work-around ... Would love Adobe to take a look and see if there is a solution to this!

Does this version of Firefox include web browsing at the "User Agent" category or higher?

I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1. for Mac because I have to fill something out on a website that requires that I have Firefox 2.0.0.12 Mac with web browsing capability at the "User Agent" category or higher for Firefox.
Do I have that with what I just downloaded? Need to know ASAP.
Thanks!

Firefox 5.0.1 '''is''' higher than Firefox 2.0.0.12.
The '''UserAgent''' is a string of data which a web browser sends to each website to tell them which version of which web browser for user is using.

Sleipnir browser - Changing the user agent?

I have read that Sleipnir browser allows you to set the user agent, but I am looking under the options menu and I couldn't locate where this could be done.
How does one change the user agent in Sleipnir browser?

I contacted the developer and they said this this function is now unavailable due to changes in the recent iPhone OS.
Is this true for all browsers that had user-agent switching capability? Are there other browsers that still have user-agent switching as an option?

Trying to get Firefox to open in User Agent "Internet Explorer"

I run an Internet Cafe and have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 over Micro$oft.
I HAVE to give customers an alternative to Live Messenger.
I have TokBox setup .. but gives problems now & then.
I need to cover all bases or lose customers.
The only viable alternative I have found is '''EBuddy'''.
Now the problem is .. when I log in using Internet Explorer and I connect to a contact - I can see the start video call "button".
Any other browser and the webcam button does not show.
All of the Firefox & Seamonkey User Agent Switchers I have tried work .. but I cannot expect the customer to know that they need to switch User Agent before they can use the webcam.
I need to Launch either Firefox or Seamonkey (preferably Seamonkey - if the fix is to be a permanent one) in Internet Explorer mode.
A permanent "fix" for Firefox was suggested on the Ubuntu Forum ...
1. Open about:config
2. Right-click, choose "New" > "String"
3. Type "general.useragent.override" (no parentheses) into the "New String Value" dialog box that appears and press "Enter." Type or copy and paste the desired new user agent string into the "Enter String Value" box (in this case "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1)" )
When you're done, copy that Firefox profile to all of your computers (the .mozilla folder)
I tried this on Seamonkey .. but it did not have the desired effect = no start video call button.
There is a Proxy Tool add on for Seamonkey which can change the user agent and this works. Same thing for Firefox.
But the user agent is back to default on browser re-start.
In an ideal world I would like to create a Launcher on Ubuntu desktop which would open either Firefox or Seamonkey on the E Buddy sign in page and the User Agent would automatically be set to IE8 or 9.

Try to set the user agent via a user.js file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/user.js_file
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "<IE user agent>");

Is there a way to change my user agent from Safari to Internet Explorer?

Hello All,
I need to fill out a application on line and it appears that it does not recognize Safari. Sounds like it needs to see IE. Anyway to temporarily enable IE for this application? Otherwise I have to go use a PC at the local library....
These instructions below in no way match my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my iMac - they don't make sense to me. Any help/guidance is appreciated to fill out this on-line form. Thanks!
Apple Safari
If using Safari, you must have Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher version or Firefox 2.0.0.12 - Macversion web browser at the "User Agent" category or higher for Firefox. Use the following instructions to configure your Safari browser to access e-QIP.
On the Menu Bar
Select Edit box (top of screen)
Preferences
Security
Accept Cookies (only from site that you navigate to)
Advanced
Check the box labeled "Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar"
Click proxies - Change settings box (Opens to Internet Explorer (IE) Properties Boxes)
Advanced tab
Security category is located near bottom of page
Click "Do not save encrypted pages to disk"
Click "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"
Click/enable SSL 2.0
SSL 3.0
TLS.1
Exit Preferences Window
On Menu Bar select "Develop User Agent"

John..
This may work but no guarantees ..
Launch Safari. From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari. From the drop down menu click Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari menu bar again, click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 7, 8, or 9.

ISE 1.2 Profiling - User Agent attribute incorrect

Hi all,
Just troubleshooting some profiling issues and have found that multiple devices are profiling incorrectly eg MAC OSX profiling as Apple-Device. Basically the issue is the user-agent string profiled by ISE is incorrect meaning that only the OUI is matched. During the BYOD onboarding process, non Internet Browser, applications and services (games and OCSP Daemons etc) are presenting their specific user-agent strings eg "OCSPD\1.0.2" to ISE resulting in incorrect profiling.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue as it is resulting in about 50% of devices been profiled at the "top level" ie Apple-Device or Windows Workstation (anything based on User-Agent). Can any one explain whether profiler works on the basis of first agent received, last agent received and why it doesn't hold onto a list of presented agents to make a decision? In my mind this is a pretty big issue in that some of the more popular device profiling policies are based on a user-agent string thus potentially preventing you from defining tight Authz policies eg IPAD only etc

"Unless you have suppression configured, ISE will continue to collect profiling data and will re-profile a device as long as a rule with higher certainty factor is hit. However, if the certainty factor is the same the device will remain at its originally profiled group."
The suppression feature will not affect the re-profiling of a device. The suppression only affects the logging on the MnT node. Since the Profiling is a PSN function the suppression has no affect on the outcome of a profiling event.
You are correct in that a rule with a higher certainty factor "wins" and this is the profile that is chosen. Again, an understanding of how profiles work is not the issue here.
For example say only the RADIUS and HTTP probes are being utilized for an endpoint. There are two endpoints one is a iPad and the other an iPhone. The endpoint attributes that are known about the device are the MAC OUI and the useragent.
Based on the default profiling rules there are two three things that need to be identified either an iPhone or an iPad. The first common item is that the MAC OUI is identified as apple. This increases the certainty factor by 10. The second is either the HTTP User agent containing either iPad/iPhone or the DHCP hostname containing either iPad/iPhone. Both of those conditions would increase the certainty factor by 20 for a total of 30. Since DHCP is not being used in this example we can remove that for a possibility and say that for an iPhone to be profiled as an iPhone it must both have a MAC OUI of apple and the useragent must contain iPhone. Same goes for iPad, but iPad in the useragent.
Like smcbridebpc stated every application that uses HTTP will have a useragent string. The profiler rules assume that the useragent that is being used contains either the word iPhone or iPad to distinguish these types of devices. If an application on the device sends a useragent string such as "OCSPD\1.0.2" which is obviously the OCSP Daemon. This useragent string is "stuck" on the endpoint and no other usable useragents can be used to profile the device. Therefore a race condition exists and depending on the application that wins determines if the profiler will be accurate or not.
The only two solutions that I can think of would be to have a useragent filter that would allow you to manually filter out useragents like "OCSPD\1.0.2" (or the ISE developers could filter known unusable user agents out on the backend) OR everytime a new useragent is presented to the profiler for a device the useragent is joined to a list of useragents.
If the useragent was overwritten everytime a new useragent was presented then it would cause the device to be reclassified everytime the different applications presented useragents which would not be good.
It does look like a bug may have been filed and marked as fixed in release pending, but the bug notes do not list enough information to identify if this is the same issue that we are seeing.

Hello,
We're currently on JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.0.4270. We just release a new version of our web app into production. This is an internal web application. application server is weblogic 10. The weblogic log is showing alot of these warning messages. I tried search on this forum and in google but unable to find any information. I really appreciate if anyone has any idea what could be causing these warning. Our users are constantly getting sent back to the login page to to user sessions lost.
