Login the forum

Every time I enter into the forum, I have to go thru login process. Can the website remember me so I do not need to login every time.

Hi, Odysseus1479 -
That happens to me, too, using IE 5 in OS 9.
However, the OP is referring to a different sequence. Try this - log out. Go to a Discussions page which shows you as being logged out, i.e., one which shows the "Welcome Guest" statement. Then click the "Log In" link - if it behaves in the manner being discussed, instead of being taken to the log in password-entry page, you'll be taken to an appropriate Discussions page (either the main/home page for Discussions or the parent category for the forum you're in when you click the log in link) which shows you as being logged in - and you will actually be logged in.
One concern with this behavior is that if the machine is accessible to others, just logging out is insufficient to guard against an unauthorized person being able to use the account - if the browser is not also quit, then all the interloper need do is click the log in link, and they will be logged in and will be able to post using the owner's account.

Login Issues at the Forum

If I try to enter the forum area, it rejects my login with no error message. I've tried my VZ account creds and my forum creds. However, if I go to verizon.net, I can log in there and then click my way to the forum area. What's up with that???

Check your FF options/settings to see if you've enabled a notification when the page tries to redirect. If that box is ticked, untick it and try again.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer that solved your issue as the accepted solution.

Login to the Forum

in the old forum there was a cookie which uses my login, so that I directly could see in the forum which postings are new and which updated.
Now I have to login each time when I start my browser.
Is this only in my browser a problem or is this the default-behavior now ?

Yes I have seen that answer. I think this is ridiculous.
After all this is a just discussion forum, no high-security online banking or shopping site. No other web forum that I know requires a log in every time I visit it.
If it wasn't for this annoying login I would probably come here more often.

What's going on: jim.marion double login in the Forum

Folks and jim.marion,
Hello. It's July 31, 2013 today. It's Wednesday today.
About half an hour ago, I replied to jim.marion in my thread https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2561843 whose title is "Install PeopleTools 8.53 with Linux Issue: Client Windows and Server Linux".
I have been login in the Forum but when replied to jim.marion, a message box came up after his name: you are no longer login, please "login".
I click the "login" button and enter my account name and password in a rush to reply to jim.marion. I think this login is not neccessary ! I assume jim.marion has stealed my account name and password !
My questions are:
First, please ask jim.marion to explain what's going on ? !
Second, if jim.marion got my account name and password, please don't abuse my account name and password !
Third, how to change account password ? Does any folk confront the same issue ?
Thanks.

I have been trying to think of something witty to say on my behalf, but figured I better stop thinking and just reply to say, no, I haven't been logged in as you. At this time I have no desire to change my persona, but maybe you can change that by telling me a little about yourself? Do you have a yacht? How many homes do you own? Vacation condos? I could probably be persuaded to change me to be someone else... I'd have to think about it though.
Now, what is it that makes you think jim.marion stole your credentials? Did you see posts you didn't write? Are you basing your accusation strictly on the fact that you were logged out when trying to reply to jim.marion? I read your post a couple of times, and that is all it says: you tried to reply to jim.marion and the forum told you that you were logged out. I'm not sure that is enough to convict jim.marion. Perhaps you were trying to log in as jim.marion? Perhaps I should be accusing you? Just kidding, of course. Honestly, I don't mind if you answer a few questions on the forum as me because I will get the points.
I'm pretty sure that your OTN forum account is tied to all other oracle.com accounts, including MyO support, OTN, OpenWorld, etc, so change your password at any of these locations and it should propagate.
Do you have any more details? Not that I can fix any of it. I am just curious as to why you think someone has your credentials.

Because I am following a link from a topic to which I am subscribed. If 8-10 other forums I participate in can, many of which at not technology related whatsoever, then I 'm sure Apple can figure it out.
Follow the logic here...
1. On my Mac I receive an email notifying me of a response to a topic to which I am subscribed in Apple Discussions.
2. I click the link in the email in MAIL.app, this discussion for example 'To view or respond to this message, visit <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7019288#7019288> '
3. This launches SAFARI and opens the thread in APPLE's discussion forum website.
4. I want to reply to the discussion.
5. I click 'Login'.
6. I am taken to the login page.
7. I login.
8. I am redirected to the main Apple Discussion page, http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa NOT the page I was viewing prior to logging in.
To get back to that page AND be logged in I can either...
Switch back to mail.app and re-click the discussion topic link
OR
Hit the BACK button twice in Safari then hit RELOAD to refresh and get the Apple Discussions site to realize I am now logged in.
There are two simple solutions that would also result in less work for Apple's servers, not requiring them to needlessly reload multiple pages.
1. Redirect me back to the forum thread I was viewing after I login.
2. Provide a login WITHIN the page am viewing.
As I said I probably subscribe to 8-10 forums, none of which have built the hardware (Mac Pro) or software (Mac OS 10.5.2, Mail.app and Safari) yet they ALL are able to do both or the above.
Somehow Apple is not able to do either even though they built the hardware AND the software.

OK. Firefox support asked me to login and respond to those who offered solutions to my previous question. Now, where do I find the forums?

I can find no link to your forums in order to respond to the solution to my previous question. What am I missing?

I cannot login to apple tv with working apple id. How do you think I signed in to the forum?

I tried looking through the numerous osts on this subject, some going back over 6 monrhs, with no conclusive solution for why a brand new out of the box Apple TV will not accept my working Apple ID, which I used just now to log in to the forums. I have reset, I have tried a different ID. I am on an open network. I know this is a problem for others. Has a true solution ever been found or are folks still just guessing?

I am having the same problem but cannot get anything but the actual phone to work. I have a unlocked 3GS running 6.0 (what was I thinking?). No data whatsoever, no texting, no visual voicemail. I simply cannot access the APN settings. I have tried sim swap, I have tried APN changers. I have been on the phone with ST tech support for hours and hours. I have tried to get the answers from a "genius". I am stuck and looking at Android devices, but would really like to keep using the iphone with Straight Talk.

How to sign in to the forum using Firefox w/ NoScript

Apparently this site uses "suspicious cross-site POST requests" according to NoScript in Firefox.
Until this changes, you'll need to tweak the NoScript settings a little in order to be able to sign into your community.vzw.com account with NoScript XSS sanitizing enabled. (I'll assume you've already allowed scripts from vzw.com and/or lithium.com - I'm pretty sure you'll need those enabled in order to use the forums at all)
1) Open your NoScript options in Firefox:
Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions (tab) -> NoScript -> Options
2) In the NoScript options click the "Advanced" tab.
3) In the advanced tab click the "XSS" sub-tab.
4) In the "Anti-XSS Protection Exceptions" text box on the "XSS" tab add the following line:
^https://signin\.verizon\.com/sso/authsso/forumLogin\.jsp.*$
5) Click OK and then close the Add-ons window.
6) Close your tab/window for community.vzw.com and try again.
7) If this doesn't work you may also need to delete any cookies you have from vzw.com and/or close Firefox all together and try again.
Details on the problem, how I identified it, and how I came across this solution
For the past two days I've been trying to get my community.vzw.com account setup and running and no matter what I tried, I would always end up on a screen that said my user name and password was invalid. To add to the confusion I was able to reset my password on the account using the "Forgot username/password" link and it STILL wouldn't work.
Then I noticed that for a split second right after I press the enter key to login there is a small notification bar at the top of the browser window. It goes away too fast to read, but I was able to notice the "NoScript" icon on the bar before it disappeared. So, I enabled scripts globally in NoScript and STILL had the same problem. Disabling/Removing NoScript all together fixed the problem and I was able to login. Of course that's not an acceptable solution, but at least I knew for sure that the problem was being caused by NoScript now.
Recalling past situations with sites not playing well with NoScript I remembered that there were NoScript messages logged in the Firefox error console (Tools -> Error console) when some actions are blocked. So, I enabled NoScript again, tried to login, opened the error console and sure enough, there's a message saying:
[NoScript XSS] Sanitized suspicious upload
to [https://signin.verizon.com/sso/authsso/forumLogin.jsp<some data here>]
from [http://www22.verizon.com/content/sso/signin.aspx?<some more data here>]:
transformed into a download-only GET request.
So, I took the URL from the "to ..." section of the message and entered it into the equivalent regular expression into the exceptions and tada! It worked! I can now sign into the community forums and still have the protection of NoScript to keep me safe from other sites.
Enjoy!

Wow! What a nice description of the issue you are having and resolution steps! I have also passed this along to our IT folks to have a look.
Thank you for being so thorough I am sure there are others that may run into this!

Can not login the WebCenter Discussions Admin console

Hi
I have installed the oracle web center 11.1.1.2 and 11.1.1.3 patch and have the weblgic admin/wls_services server running successfully. after create two new users in the embed weblogic i can login the webcenter discussion. The two test users can post a announcement but have no right to create a new forum and post new thread. So i want to login the ADMIN console by host:port/owc_discussions/admin but denied, including the weblogic default admin user(weblogic/weblogic1). in the webcenter administation guide, it says:
"By default, Oracle WebCenter Discussions is configured to use the embedded LDAP identity store: all users in the embedded LDAP store can log on to the discussions server, and all users in the Administrators group have administrative privileges on Oracle WebCenter Discussions." in 12.2.2 Discussions Server - Security Considerations
also tried to change the configuration file for Jive(jive_startup.xml), setting the setup element to false which mentioned in another threads in this forum and still not work.
Currently all i want to do is login the discussion as admin and create a forum, say 'Generic' and register the connection in Jdevoper and create a custom app for posting new thread.
Hope someone can help.

I have resolved this issue by re-build the installation

How can I change my password to the Forum?

I have a hard time remembering my password because it was generated. Is there any way I can reset it to something I can remember?

Hmmmm. Tricky question.
To find the answer, I
1) Clicked on the FAQ link (upper right side of my screen);
2) Clicked on the "I have OTN login or password problems. What do I do?" in the FAQ;
3) Clicked on the "How do I change my password?" link in that second FAQ.
and read
How do I change my password?
To change your password, make sure you are logged on and click the "Account" link in the upper right side of the page. This will bring you to the main registration page where there is a "Change Password" link in the upper right side of the page under the "Log out" link.
BUT the 'Account' link does not show up on the Forum. I needed to click on the "Oracle Technology Network" logo in the upper left side to get to the page that shows the Account link.
By the way - this kind of question is best asked in the Community Feedback (No Product Questions) forum found at
http://forums.oracle.com about 1/2 way down the page, center column.

To the Forum Moderators

Please add "Search this Forum" to the LR forum page!
It is a hassle that the search always searches all forums.
Having to drilling down the very long forum list in the advanced search to find the correct forum to limit is a hassle as well - and I don't get the logic of the sort order btw.
Thanks

OK, found it on http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom
Did not find it because ... jumping to the first page of the forum does not show it ... clicking on Photoshop Lightroom below the login name does not go the correct page where it is shown either.
One really has to reload the above link/page from favorites to get there.

I had an issue when trying to register with the forums, but I am having problems speaking someone because I am not a "registered" member?

Dear forum member(s), I was excited at the possibilities that Firefox offered. I have been looking forward to researching on the forums, but I made a blunder when registering.
I changed my email password some time ago and forgot that I had done so. I also have a second email which is similar to my address I was registering and I think I was actually using my the second email information until I caught the mistake.
Shortly thereafter I received an email with my user ID but no password. I had been assuming that I would receive a onetime computer generated password, but I wasn’t sure how things were supposed to go. After closely studying the language of the email, I was led to the conclusion that I would login with my original information I had provided.
My final attempt to register failed and I can’t explain why. I am positive that I had the right user id and password and now I am in limbo. I registered with the "Add-ons" section in 15 minutes. I was never told I was banned, but I was never told I am now a member. Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
reel4

Not at all. I have never posted to the forums. The only thing I have written is what you see in this thread. I registered at add-ons section and things were fine. I wanted to use the forums, because I like to learn what I can. The problems began when I tried to register at the forms. At first, I thought my login from add-ons would work at the forums. It didn't. I honestly don't know if there is separate login and validation for each firefox/mozilla section.
When I attempted to register with the forums, I messed up when trying to login because I made too many attempts. I was either using another password from a second email or I misread those weird words they use to make sure you are not a bot.
I don't know what exactly was written but they basically wanted to take a look at things. I felt that was reasonable. After all - I felt like a moron for not being able to read those contorted word tests.
Then they sent me my user id but with no new password so I assumed my current password was the same as the one I originally gave. Long story short, I tried to login again- all three times I failed. They never banned me or told me anything. I have not heard from anyone or thing. To It's like they have just walked away. I just don't understand what has happened and why no one will tell me anything. So... no - I am not banned. When I do bet blocked after I logoff, it has the same effect as a ban. I guess I have been ousted. I just wish this I could get this matter resolved. I changed my password and email so maybe that will keep around.
It's a strange situation and I am at loss for words. I even wrote the forum people an apology letter describing the facts above in details and apologizing for the inconvenience. I actually apologized for being an idiot.
One last thing - at the outset of the post - I told you they gave me one last opportunity to login and it failed. I know for a fact I had the information correct. I had even written my password somewhere else on the screen to where I could see each character to verify the pass word was correct and then cut and paste.
James - who knows what the future holds but I must thank you my friend. At the very least, I could tell my story. It is all so strange.

Any way to stop being logged out of the forums every 10 minutes?

Since the recent alteration of the forum, I keep getting logged out. Is there any way to increase the time or keep me logged in at all?

ben...........
Not in Safari, The timeout length is ±30 minutes. I found that it is particularly annoying when composing a post, as it will not Post when logged out in the middle of composition.
I use Firefox and a FF add-on called "Reload Every" - applied to a tab or window, I set it to 'Custom' 20 minutes. You must apply it every time you start FF (from the 'context' menu (ctrl+click). Note that the Tab or window needs to remain open at all times (could hide it in the Dock) for it to work. I haven't been logged out since adding it to FF
The very good reason for the login timeout is that some people use their devices in very public places - school, work, coffee shop, etc. - and may walk away from it (particularly a desktop) for a period Because AppleID is used in the iStore(s), being logged in may become a security risk,
NOTE: There is also a time limit to be able to Edit your post. That seems to be ±15 minutes

Is it just me or is the forum wonky?

For me, ASC forum qua forum is unpredictably wonky.
At times I've tried to post in a thread and find that I'm unable because I'm not logged in even though I'd just logged in. Try logging in again and still find, according to the thread, that I'm not. Go to, for instance, the mini sub-forum main page and that says I am logged in.
Another example -- I log out and the forum does indeed immediately verify that's the case. Return as a visitor, hours later, to a thread I've never before been in and find that I'm logged in.
There's other things, but I haven't been writing them down.
Is this because of the change in forum software a couple of months ago?

You need to login. Clear FF caches. Reload problem page. You need an auto reloader.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Start an auto reloader.
Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) .
I use Firefox and ReloadEvery.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reloadevery/
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.
