Clear password cache
Does anyone have a method to clear the password cache programmatically?
I want to prevent access to password protected block diagrams after I've done some block diagram changes but without restarting LabVIEW or navigating the Options menu
Thanks

Serious security flaw: Can't clear password cache in iPhone 3G Safari!
One of the reasons I want an iPhone is so I can access the online membership database for my church. I recently went into the AT&T store to see if I could get to this password-protected site on an iPhone 3G. This is one of those sites that pops up a Windows NT-style password prompt, as opposed to a standard web form password.
After logging on and making sure it worked, I opened a blank page, closed out the site, went into Settings > Clear History, Clear Cache, Clear Cookies. The site was gone from history. But just to be safe I typed the URL in again to make sure the password was cleared. Guess what? It went straight in without prompting for a password! This is very dangerous in any situation, but since this was a public phone in an AT&T store I had a real dilemma as I'm responsible for keeping this membership data private. Sure, after clearing history people would have to guess at the URL but I didn't want to risk that. The AT&T salesman could not figure out how to completely clear the password cache, so we ended up doing a Reset All Data.
Please tell me there's another solution! If not, this would be an unacceptable security issue because whether it's a membership database or online banking, if I lose my iPhone it could spell disaster.Hello there....welcome to the world of iPhone - where some of us have been here since the launch of the first iPhone. Obviously you have just had your iPhone for a few days. You will get over the typing issues. Just practice. You will stop hitting the send button as soon as you get used to typing.
As for the contact issues you have - You delete groups of contacts - or all - in whatever software you use on your computer to organize your contacts. Outlook? You don't need to save your contacts to a sim card as you have them on your BIG SIMCARD you are using right now....your computer.
If someone steals your phone and tries to change the sim card, Apple/AT&T have the ability to lock the phone down so it can't be used. I've had it done when my first phone was stolen.
There ya go. Welcome to the board.
Please choose to get to know your phone better before proclaiming it less than perfect. THANKS! -
login problem at an arts forum... login works at other sites.
I can't log in. They gave me a new password and were able to log in with it, doesn't work for me. They suggested clearing cache.
I removed a cookie from that site, and tried to clear the cache, but suspect I was unsuccessful. When I go to the login, after attempting to clear the cache and removing cookie, the login form is immediately filled in with a password, which could be the old one or the new one, they are unfortunately the same number of letters.
How do I get the cache clear if the edit preferences thing is not working?As a quick test for cookie or cache problems you can try to switch Private Browsing mode on to see if that allows to log in.
You can either use Tools > Start Private Browsing or set a check mark in:
* Tools > Options > Privacy: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
To see all the History and Cookie settings, select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"<br />
Do not forget to exit Private Browsing mode after you have finished the login test. -
Hello all,
I know how to clear Safari's History, Cookies, and Cache in Settings.
My question is: *How do you clear cache from applications*.
Based on this article:
+http://www.storefrontbacktalk.com/securityfraud/iphone-payment-peril-mobile-mayh em-omen/+
I know the iPhone stores information typed into applications for up to one year. This could include credit card and other sensitive info. How do you clear the cache of applications?
Thanks in advance,
BenYou're welcome.
Even if this were true - the password for an account that is checked/confirmed on a server and not saved with the app is being stored in the app's cache which I don't believe is true, how would someone be able to access the app's cache on your iPhone? Do you use the passcode lock feature?
If your iPhone were lost or stolen, someone would need to know what they are doing to be able to access an app's cache, and I seriously doubt many would waste their time trying to do. The overwhelming majority of dishonest folks will be more interested in using the iPhone or selling it to someone else for profit.
The iPhone makes use of what is called "sandboxing" with all 3rd party apps. All data created and stored by a 3rd party app is sandboxed in its own area on the device which no other apps have access to. All data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you want to clear an app's cache, delete the app from your iPhone followed by syncing your iPhone with iTunes to update your iPhone's backup. Follow this by re-installing the app but you will need to re-enter the account's user name and password if needed and be right back where you started. There is no option to do this from the iPhone that I'm aware of and I think your effort to address this will provide you very little if any gain. Use the passcode lock feature on your iPhone to nothing can be accessed on your iPhone in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen. -
How to clear the caching realm?
Hello,
WebLogic Server 5.1 SP 6 on W2k Server
Is it possible to emtpy the caching realm inside of an EJB?
The class weblogic.security.acl.CachingRealm
provides the clearCaches() method, but I don't know how
to get the actual cache object within an EJB in the WebLogic
server.
Thanx in advance,
Michaelyeah word
This works for sure in a servlet or jsp
<%
response.setContentType("text/html");
BasicRealm basicRealm = Security.getRealm();
try {
((CachingRealm) basicRealm).clearCaches();
} catch (ClassCastException ce) {
out.println("There is a class cast exception and getRealm ain't no returned
a CachingRealm");
out.println("This probably means that you don't have a pluggable realm
hooked into WebLogic.");
out.println("No pluggable Realm = no Cachingrealm!");
%>
Is there anyway to clear a particular user from the cache. When the user's
password
is changed in the database, i would like to remove this user from the
Caching
realm. If i call authUserPassword() with incorrect password, will it
remove the
User object from Cache?
Also, in a cluster, how do i remove the User from all WLS instances.
thanks for your help.
regards,
Jegan

Anyway, I think you can do it by (I haven't tried this):
import weblogic.security.acl.Realm;
import weblogic.security.acl.Security;
import weblogic.security.acl.CachingRealm;
Realm genericRealm = Security.getRealm();
CachingRealm cachingRealm = (CachingRealm)genericRealm;
cachingRealm.clearCaches();

Clearing Safari Cache Automatically when it Quits
I work for a school district that uses Safari 2.0.4 on eMac’s running 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 and the students have their network home folders located on a 10.4.8 Server.
I would like to have Safari clear its cache every time a student quits Safari or logs out, but don’t see a way to have this done automatically. Is there a script or utility out there that clears the cache automatically?
Thanks for the help!Hello again,
Ok, let's give this a go then
Personally, for editing scripts I like to use the command line 'vi' editor, but for starting with that may scare you off so lets use the regular TextEditor application for the time being.
Fire up TextEditor and open a new document. Change the type of the document to be a plain text file. This can be done via the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option (if it says Make Rich Text, then the file is already in plain text mode).
In the editor, copy and paste the following, but remove the line numbers I've added:
1 #!/bin/bash
2
3 logFile=/tmp/SafariCleanerLog.txt
4
5 echo "-----------------" >> $logFile
6 echo `date` >> $logFile
7 echo "" >> $logFile
8 echo "Deleting Safari cache files in: $HOME/Library/Caches/Safari/" >> $logFile 2>&1
9 echo "" >> $logFile
10
11 rm -rf $HOME/Library/Caches/Safari/* >> $logFile 2>&1
Some lines may appear to wrap around in the webpage, so use the line numbers as your guide to know if something is supposed to fit on one line or not.
This is what it does:
- The 1st line indicates what particular shell application to use to execute this script (/bin/bash in this case)
- The 3rd creates a variable that I'm using to store the path to a log file for what this script is doing
- Lines 5 to 9 append some logging information to the logfile we've decided to report to
- Line 11 does the actual deletion of the Safari cache files. rm is short for remove, aka delete, and the -rf means recursively (i.e. all subdirectories in the Safari cache folder) and forceably (i.e. don't askif you are sure for each and every file). The cryptic 2>&1 at the very end is to make any error messages that rm might generate appear in our logfile. If you try out the commands to see how they work, please please please be very careful with rm, once a file has been rm'ed its gone - it doesn't go to the Trashcan
Note that if you want to see more about what each of these commands do, you can use the man pages either from the Terminal itself or here. ('echo' is a built-in command to bash, so you would need to read the bash manpage for information on that)
Ok, so now we have a script. Save that on your Desktop with a name that makes sense for you (e.g. SafariCacheCleaner.sh - sh is the standard extension used to indicate something is a script, it's not required)
Now we need to execute a few Terminal commands to make this work when a student logs out. Fire up the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
The first thing we need is somewhere to place the script that is out of bounds to regular users, students, etc. OS X already has an area for scripts in /Library/Scripts/, so you may want to create your own area under this folder. For example, I created a 'Custom' folder via the following:
sudo mkdir /Library/Scripts/Custom
You may want to replace Custom with something else, like SchoolAdmin for instance. sudo is a command that gives the executor temporary administration rights. When you press return after typing the above command, you will be asked for a password - enter the password for your current user account and press return (note that you will not see anything appear in the Terminal while you are typing, this is a security feature).
Next up, we need to copy the script to this location and give it the correct permissions to be executed:
sudo cp ~/Desktop/SafariCacheCleaner.sh /Library/Scripts/Custom/
sudo chmod 755 /Library/Scripts/Custom/SafariCacheCleaner.sh
In this case, sudo will probably not prompt you for the password as it trusts access for a few minutes. If you leave things for, say, 10 minutes, it would ask you for your password again.
cp is the command for copying files/folders.
chmod is used to change permissions on a file. In this case, 7 means the owner of the file can write/read/execute the file, the first 5 means anyone in the same unix group as the owner can read/execute the file and the second 5 means everyone else can read/execute it.
Lastly, we need to tell OS X that we want this script to run everytime a user logs out. This can be done with the following command (this is one long line that the browser may wrap):
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /Library/Scripts/Custom/SafariCacheReset.sh
Hopefully, that should be it. You can test it out by logging out of your account and logging back in. The /Users/YourUsername/Library/Caches/Safari/ should be sparkling clean now.
I've tried to be a bit verbose to explain what's going on, so it's not as complex as it may look at first.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask - it's better to be sure of what you are doing when it comes to the Terminal sometimes. -
Play zynga games and use the back arrow all the time, continuously using this doesnt seem to go well with firefox 4...firefox3.6 no problems. I get a none responsive page off and on and sometimes have to switch between firefox and chrome. The message is that the server is rerouting in such a way as it will never complete, suggestions have been to clear cookies etc which doesnt fix the problem.
This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked (check the permissions on the about:permissions page).

Clearing browser cache doesn't work
This is on a new Nexus 5 phone. I tried using the supplied Chrome browser and was disappointed to find that clearing the cache (through Chrome or Android settings/apps), did not work. Old visited websites and tabs were still present upon re-starting. I just installed Firefox and it has the same problem. I have no bookmarks stored. Is there a solution to this?
I only have personal experience with a Gingerbread device, but it's hard to understand why Firefox would behave so differently on another version of Android.
Here's how I tested. I selected the following on the "Clear Private Data" list:
* Browsing & download history
* Form & search history
* Cookies & active logins
* Saved passwords
* Cache
* Offline website data
(I didn't remove Downloaded files or Site settings)
I tapped the "Clear data" button, and then backed out of the menu to the Top sites screen.
The Top sites list lost the site thumbnails and shows only my bookmarked sites and default sites.
When you do this, does yours still show non-bookmarked sites from history? -

When I publish my site on one specific page where I've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:
'Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.'
I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.
I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
doesn't accept my credit card.
Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Regards.
P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

My safari,4.1.3 on the bottom says cancelled opening page. have cleared the cache,and reset but it still does it on some pages,not all. Any ideas
It's possible that the pages you are attempting to open simply won't work with that old web browser.
If you're using Mac OS X Tiger, update to the latest version, which is 10.4.11. (You might be using that already. Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, but I bet that's just a typo.)
Then get the latest version of Safari that will run on Tiger. (And... you have that already: 4.1.3.)
You might try a more modern browser designed specifically for your current OS. That would be TenFourFox.

Password cache - for user identity that share the same application server
I have different user identity that share the same application server passwords.
When I create a password cache entry for an an application server I have to be specified the User identity for the application server. Is there a way to indicate multiple User identity in order to avoid to create different entry (one for each user identity)?No. An SGD user can only have a single username for an application server.
There may be a way to craft a solution:
- create several ENS application server objects pointing to the same real application server
- cache different usernames against each ENS application server
- create multiple, identical application objects, assigning a different application server to each, OR
- create a single application object and assign all the ENS servers to it, along with the "SGD Broker" for dynamic launch. -
How to clear the cache in the portal browser
Hello Experts,
Iam unable to clear the cache in the portal. I tried clearing the Navigation cache , PRT cache,PCD cache,Database cache,UME cache.
The senario is in the browser if iam logging with some user X , he should see only 1,2,3 countries, and if i logg off and again logg in the same browser with different user he is seeing same 1,2,3 countries unlike he should see 4,5 countries.
But if iam opening in different browser iam getting the correct one with cache cleared.
I want to acheive this in the same browser.
Qucik help in solving out this cache problem is appreciable.
Regrds,
Manasa.There is one more important cache: the HTTP Provider Service cache (in VA).
To find out why the browser is showing the same languages, analyze what the server is sending to the browser with HTTPWatch or Firebug and look at the cache flag. Also check what is the iView cache parameter? Is it user, session, shared or none?
How do you do the logoff? The best thing is to make sure that the HTTP Session is killed. If not, the portal may send data that is cached for the HTTP Session to the browser. When you open a new browser, you will also open a new HTTP Session. That could be the cause why it is working with a new browser instance.
