ODBC Driver - Save Password for datasource

Is there a way to save the password in a report so it is not required to be entered every time the report is opened?
We have two ODBC drivers for our report. The one for MySQL saves the password in the ODBC DSN config. The second is a DataDirect driver for Oracle. I have not found a way to save the password in either the ODBC Admin for this, or in Crystal Reports.

As Ido suggested....
CR will not keep passwords, it's not our role and would be a major security issue if we did. Anyone could get a report and log into your system.
If they don't know your reports stay safe....
Thank you
Don

How can I save passwords for URL's

How can I save passwords for URL's? I just installed 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. I also had to format my HD drive and reinstall my software.

Hi,
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Select the box next to:
User names and passwords.
Navigate to a site you normally log into with the user name and password. Click Yes when prompted. That will save that information to a new keychain for you.
Passwords are actually stored in your Keychain Access application. (Applications/Utilities)

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux problem

Hello! I've RedHat Linux 6 Update 1 x64 on VMware Player and MS SQL Server on real machine. My application "servernew" on RedHat. All right, but when i try connect my SQL Server:
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof(buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:
MessageText = Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
To make my connection i use next attempts for connection string:
//char constring[200]="Driver={Microsoft Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver V1.0 for Linux};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={/opt/microsoft/sqlncli/lib64/libsqlncli-11.0.so.1790.0};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
char constring[200]="DSN={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
but...Data source name not found, and no default driver specified .. help me

Ok. New attempts with sqlcmd:
[root@localhost ~]# sqlcmd -S 192.168.0.3 -U sa -P 2ef5Fese -d first
SqlState HYT00, Login timeout expired

It's bad way, but...
[root@localhost ~]# sqlcmd -D -S ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2 -U sa -P 2ef5Fese -d first
SqlState IM002, Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
It's like in my program!!
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof (buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:
MessageText = Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
Why "SQLDriverConnect" is looking for DNS?!

How do I save passwords for my apps

How can I save passwords for apps

You either write them down somewhere or you check the "remember me" (or something similar) button while in the app. There is no universal way to save them. It's up to the writer of the app whether or not to save credentials.

Which ODBC driver to choose for a multi version , multi home installation

I have a situation where I need to rollout a piece of software which connects to an Oracle 64 bit database. The client group that I need to rollout to includes a combination of Oracle8, Oracle 9 and Oracle 10. Some installations have dual 8/9 Homes and I am sure that there are other combinations.
The software connects through either a normal oracle connection or can connect through ODBC. However, the normal connection software will not connect through Oracle below Oracle 9, So I am left with an ODBC driver. I am using the microsoft driver currently - it is very slow, but it is at least already installed on all the user pc's. However I believe that it does not work with dual homes.
Is there an Oracle driver that would meet our needs?, i.e allow connections from version 8 to 10 with any combination of homes.

You're right that the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle doesn't support multiple Oracle Homes. It also isn't updated regularly, so it doesn't support a lot of functionality that was added in Oracle 9 or 10.
Exactly what versions of Oracle does "Oracle8" comprise. There is a world of difference between having some 8.1.7 databases still in prod and having some ancient 8.0.4 databases around. Depending on the "Oracle8" variants in the world, you should be able to use either the 8.1.7.x or 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver should work for you. You'll need to install an appropriate Oracle Home for that driver (i.e. the machine will have to have an 8.1.7 Oracle Home if you're going to use the 8.1.7.x Oracle ODBC driver, it'll need a 9.2 Oracle Home if you're going to use the 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver). Since 8.1.7 has been desupported, I'm hopeful that you can use the 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver since Oracle 9.2 will at least be supported a few more months.

Which ODBC driver was certified for Informix/AIX?

Which ODBC driver was certified for generic connectivity on AIX to Informix? We tried to use the IBM/Informix ODBC driver but there are incompatible linker problems between it and the Oracle DBMS. We need to find an ODBC driver that does work. I know that the manual says that Oracle does not recommend any particular driver, nevertheless, it must have tested with at least one. Which one?

Kirk,
We test Generic Connectivity using our own ODBC drivers but these are not commercially available products.

Reversing 'never save password' for a site

I accidentally clicked 'never save password' for this site on a site I use quite often. How can I reverse that? I've cleared data, history, cookies. Nothing works.
Thanks.

try...
go to general settings,
find safari,
click autofill,
turn OFF use contact info.

A prompt from address bar is asking to save passwords for sites. It can be a password manager but cannot remember which one. Firefox seems not to have a way to remove it. Appears only when going to sites.

My problem has now been solved. I have selected the option to save passwords. Later I deselected it. After all, it is a simple mistake made by me. Thanks for the replies sent to resolve this. It simply is a setting in Options.

I have got same issue and I am going to try the last reply in the link below :

Firefox is not prompting to save password for specific user on specific site. How can I correct this?

I am using saved passwords feature. The site in question is a common webmail site. I have more than one account for this site. Usernames and passwords for each account were stored in Firefox 'Remember Passwords' feature. I unintentionally deleted one entry from the dropdown list that is displayed when I go to the site's login page. Now, when I log in to this account, Firefox will not prompt to save the password. If I display my saved passwords list, there are entries for the other accounts on this site, but none for the user account in question. The Saved Passwords 'Exceptions' list is empty. How can I get Firefox to re-prompt to save the password for this user on this site? (Note: When I speak of 'user', I am not referring to user account on the PC or a specific Firefox user profile.)

I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks

How can I get firefox to ask me to save passwords for websites and to turn back on my auto complete for webpages?

Ever since the last update of firefox my autocomplete no longer functions and firefox no longer asks me if I want to save the password for sites I visit.

"Remember passwords for sites" is shaded in the Private Browsing mode and when "Always use Private Browsing mode" is enabled.

Save password for several application in one workspace

Hi, I have several applications in one workspace with custom authentication. How do I set the option to save password (which is same for all apps) , so I would not write password every time when switching from application to application. Thank you

Thank youIf you are using the same authentication for all your applications, then you can redirect to those applications just same as you redirect to the current app by just changing the app_id
you can use a same session cookie name for all applications and make sure all apps use same authentication scheme
Edit you application A > Shared Components > Authentication Scheme > edit your authentication > Session Cookie Attributes section
set Cookie Name value to somestring
for example: commonauthcookie
Repeat the above step for all other applications and set the cookie name to the same as above

How Do I turn off the auto save password for a specific site?

A key comes up and asks if I want to save a password for every time I log in to certain sites. Sometimes I would like it to save but where does it have a feature to stop asking me? the old one did and I don't see that on the new one. Thanks.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Mail doesn't save password for iCloud IMAP account (works fine with other email providers)

Mavericks Mail doesn't save the password for my iCloud IMAP account no matter how many times I enter it into Preferences or enter it when prompted. Doesn't seem to be saving in Keychain or wherever it should be saved. Passwords for all other email providers that I use are saved. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!!!!!

Great, thanks A LOT! Best answer on that issue and so simple!!!! Now it works perfectly fine

Any way to save password for wiki access?

Is there any way to save the password for wiki access?
I don't want to require my users to put in a password for the wiki when they've already put one in for their user account.

Safari and Firefox refuse to store the password in the keychain because we never actually submit the form. This is because we use JavaScript to digest the password before sending it up. That allows you to have a non-SSL site (and, correspondingly, not have to deal with certificates) but also not send passwords in clear-text and provide a Logout button (which standard HTTP and Kerberos authentication methods don't allow). In order for us to support storing passwords in the system keychain, we would have to either send passwords in the clear, remove the logout button, or require everyone to acquire and set up certificates for all of their sites.
Given these constraints, the best solution is a "remember me" checkbox which saves your session and keeps you logged in, and we're currently working on that.
