Accessing a page from login page without login

hi gurus,
i have a link on my login page, for example-- about company. if i try to access it, it will always ask for login first and then go to that about company page. can i access this page without logging in?
i saw some solutions like hidden region displayed on same login page, but what if i need to navigate to a different page?

Hi Nadeem,
As long as the page has no functionality on it - typical for things like "Terms and Conditions" etc, then you can just make that page public. Edit the page attributes and set Authorization Scheme to "-No Page Authorization Required-" and set Authentication to "Page is Public".
That way, the page can be seen by anyone whether they are logged in or not.

Not able to pass portal login page with valid credentials using WebDispatch

Hi,
We are implementing SAP BillerDirect Portal. To make BillerDirect Portal available over the internet, we Configured SAP WebDispatcher with SSL termination. We followed the steps mentioned in SAP Help Documentaion for SAP WebDispatcher with SSL termination.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/76/6d4fa247d0d647b5bd40745400d873/frameset.htm
We created certificate and send it to CA (TrustCenter CA). We received the CA response and we imported the certificate.
AS mentioned in the help document, we configured the SAP Web Dispatcher profile to support SSL termination
We tried to access our BillerDirect Portal over the internet using below link
https://company.com/bd
We are getting login page, once we enter correct user ID and Password, portal is not loading (not going to next page) portal remains on same login page.
If we enter invalid credentials portal login page is giving u201CUser Authentication Failedu201D error.
If we try to access any portal login pages which brings a pop-up for login, login gets succeeded and we are able to see next pages
Examples
1) https://company.com/bd/admin/xcm/init.do
2) https://company.com/monitoring/SystemInfo
All pages which bring up portal login page without pop-up, not able to pass through portal login screen.
We Tried the ProxyMapping option on Dispatcher using Visual admin. This option also didnu2019t work for us.

Using login credentials from the first page

Hi guys hopw one of you will help me!!
I a jsp page which takes the username and password.(this is login.jsp)
If the login is successful the page enters into another jsp which has a list of what the user wants to do.
Everything is working fine at tht moment.
But my major concern is say if i give the following ur to login:
http://localhost:8000.login.jsp
and enter the username and password.After succesfully logging in I have another jsp(register.jsp)
with the following functions:
Delete user
create user
The problem is if i give the following address in my browser:
http://localhost:8000/success.jsp directly this page is being displayed without checking for the login credentials.
Is there a way where i can check the username and password before the page is being displayed.(remeber I dont have username and password text boxes in each page).
Thanx in advance.

Yes you can do this search the forums with the search bar to the left looking for login routines and session variables.
You put the result of your loging routine (pass or fail) into a session variable. All protected pages then check this session variable, and redirect to the login page if it is not correct.
Search for session variables.

When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
What is the problem and how can I solve it?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Session/cookie in an app without login page

Hi,
I know there are several threads about setting a cookie, checking session etc. But none seem to address my issue. Here's my problem:
- I don't have a login page in my apex app. My user logs in from an external program and his userid is captured in the HTTP header variable 'remote_user'.
- I added some PL/SQL code in the 'page sentry function' to check if this user is in the database(basically check if he is in one of the tables) and if he is not, show him the page without the create/edit/delete buttons. If he is in our database, show the same pages with all types of buttons.
- Putting this code in page sentry function seems to work, but I am unable to logout since there is no cookie set! If I try to set a cookie in the page sentry function, it is breaking at the redirect line. Also, I don't think page sentry is the right place to set a cookie since it executes at every page.
- Putting the above code in any other block (session verify function, pre-authentication, authentication, post-authentication etc) does not even execute. I put a simple 'insert' query to see if it executes, but it does not!
Given this, what is the best way and place to set/check cookie in my app? I tried to enhance Scott's session timeout utility, but my app does not have a login function as I explained above, so I am unable to do that. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.
Shuba

I tried to do that. If you read my very first post in this thread, specifically "If I try to set a cookie in the page sentry function, it is breaking at the redirect line. Also, I don't think page sentry is the right place to set a cookie since it executes at every page.", I tried to set a cookie but it is throwing an error at the page.
I think all these complication is because I dont have a login page and I am using a HTTP header variable to validate the user. Given that, where should I set the cookie?
I also tried to do this:
- create an appliaction item called 'testuser'
- create an application computation to run 'before header' which sets the value of this to my HTTP header variable.
- When I retrieve the app item 'testuser' from a page, it is getting the correct value. But when I use this in the authentication scheme, it is returning null. Any idea why??
I know I am throwing a lot of questions. That is because I am trying a lot of approaches and each of them is posing a new set of challenges. I am actually looking for alternative ways to do what I am looking to do.
Thanks.

How would you push login credentials to a landing page?

I am looking into a solution for pushing a user's login credentials to a landing page with options for different sites to go to.
Basically the user will sign in and then be redirected to a landing page with three buttons that the user will choose which site to access.
Has anyone tried to build anything like this?
Thanks in advance.

ICICI Bank site throws up blank page upon login in Firefox (all versions) and other browsers on my computer, but works normally on some other computers

Till a few days back, ICICI net-banking site was opening up normally on both my systems (Windows XP SP3 and FreeBSD-10.1-i386). Since 18 December, the site throws up a blank page after the login credentials are entered. The site opens up normally on Firefox-34 on a computer system that belongs to a friend of mine. On my systems, reinstalling/upgrading Firefox does not help : I continue to get a blank page. The site URL is :
https://infinity.icicibank.co.in/BANKAWAY?Action.RetUser.Init.001=Y&AppSignonBankId=ICI&AppType=corporate&abrdPrf=N
Safe mode does not help. Even disabling all plug-ins and themes has no effect, just as clearing out cache and temporary files proved ineffective. Deleting profiles too did not help.
The site opens on FF-34 on my friend's computer (XP SP2) but does not open on FF (any version, including the same build as the one used on the friend's computer) or even Opera 26.0/Internet Explorer 8 on my system. IE gives the following diagnostics :

Operating System Login Credentials

I have setup an Oracle 11g Database and have a question about backing up the database. Currently, I have logged into the database via Enterprise Manager. I have browsed to the Availability->Backup settings and I see that at the bottom of the page I need to supply Operating System Login Credentials.
Do I need to create these credentials? If so, can I have a little help to do this, or if not, how to I retrieve these details?

996403 wrote:
I have added the 'log in as batch job' priviledge to the Administrator user.
I have then setup a password for the Administrator.
I then try and log into Oracle via the Enterprise Manager with the Administrator user details, but get the "Your username and/or password are invalid." error.When you "log into Oracle via the Enterprise Manager" you are logging into the database itself. You need to use a valid database account and password. You originally asked about being prompted for host credentials once you were logged in to Enterprise Manager and wanted to execute certain functions. That's not the same thing.
To initially log in to EM, you supply database account credentials. If a function within EM needs to interface directly with the OS, it will need host (OS) account credentials.

Restoring iOS devices and app login credentials

Mostly curious here: I have about 50 apps on my iPhone. About 20 of these apps require login credentials (e.g., Twitter).
I have to restore my iPhone periodically due to syncing issues with iTunes (that's another story). When I do the restore, I am restoring from an iCloud backup. My backups are encrypted.
When the restore is complete, I've noticed that I can use some of the apps without having to re-enter the app-specific login credentials. I guess iCloud was able to back up the credentials and restore them for these apps. But for most apps, I find that I have to re-enter the login credentials in order to use the app. For these apps, it seems that iCloud did not back up the credentials.
It's tedious re-entering login credentials for a number of apps, so I'd like to understand how iCloud is supposed to work. Why does iCloud restore some app login credentials and not others? Is there a setting somewhere that tells iCloud whether to backup (and restore) app-specific credentials? Thx
FYI that I do not use iOS Keychain, I have it turned off.

Authentication - "Invalid Login Credentials" ? ? ?

Hey guys,
Need some help regarding Log in.
I have a table in the database (table name USER_SECURITY) which has the list of users who are authorized to log in to the application.
I have to incorporate this in the application page
Could you please help me with the logic how to go about it in APEX
Thank You for your help and suggestions

Create your own Authentication Scheme
Authentication Function Section: RETURN APP_SECURITY_PKG.valid_user
Switch on your Custom Scheme: made it “My Auth Scheme”
Also Altered the Login Process on Page 101
app_security_pkg.login (P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME, P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD, P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'), P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID );

Report Viewer asking for Login credentials on Non-Development PC

I have created several reports within Crystal 2008(using the push method). I run these reports in a VB6 application using the Report Viewer. Reports without sub-reports will run on both the development and non-development PC. If I try to run a report with a sub on a non-development PC it will prompt the user for login credentials.
I can run the same report(with a sub) in development or on a PC with Crystal 2008 and Visual Basic installed. I have created a setup.exe to install this on the pc and included both the Crystal runtime 2008 and Crystal Report Viewer 2008 as prerequisites.
Any help would be appreciated

We created a form in Visual Studio 2008 that holds the Crystal Report Viewer. We then used Interop to wrap the assembly into a usable reference for the VB6 application.
This was working fine when we were using the pull method for the report but once we changed the code to use the push method reports with subs will ask for a login. No matter what is entered the report will not print to the screen. The reports without a sub will print just fine.
Not sure what to look for next?
Thanks for your quick response.

Pass login credentials into a test-path cmdlet

Here is the scenario. I'm creating a SQL Server Job that will use Powershell to test if a session could be made to a remote server before creating one. I was able to successfully create a cmdlet that will test a path that connects to a remote shared server
on the same domain. The remote server I'm trying to connect to is on a different domain so I need to pass along the login credentials. I'm stuck in finding the correct way to perform this. Is there a way to pass the login information without a prompt? Below
is my test-path command I want to use.
If(Test-Path -path \\IPADDRESS\Folder\subfolder)
   write-error "Remote connection test passed successfully"
else {Write-Error "Could not connect successfully to "\\IPADDRESS\Folder\subfolder" -EA Stop}
Also I was trying to use PSCredential to achieve this but was unsuccessful and received an error. Below is the powershell commands and error message.
$SecurePassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString
$UserName = "DOMAIN\User"
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $UserName, $SecurePassword

Thank you in advance

Hi DBA_attack,
Thanks for your posting.
If there also occurred error after add the parameter -Credential, please also note: This parameter -Credential in test-path is not supported by any providers installed with Windows PowerShell.
You can also try to use Invoke-Command with the credential who has the permission to access the tested file path.
I hope this helps.
