Password protected browser

Does anyone know of a password protected browser for the iPad? Needs to be quite simple (like safari ideally) but need to able to bookmark sites, use history etc so the multitude of "private" browsers (that don't store cookies, history etc) are no good.
Many thanks in advance.

Perfect, thanks.

How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

I created a password protected pdf file.
I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
It is better that viewers cannot download it.
But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built. So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
Be well...

Although browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash = false, it still is restoring session and even session which where password protected! how to solve

In the config browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash is set to false, However when restarting FF all sessions can be restored by pressing the button session restore on the home page.
'''It restores also password protected sessions without asking for any password! This is unacceptible!'''

Password protecting history and removal of private browsing

I am wondering if I can password protect the browsing history on this phone so it cannot be deleted without my permission. I would also like to remove or password protect the private browsing option... is this possible? Last of all can you hide or password the app store? I don't want to make addition users or lock up my entire phone just make it so it cannot be used inappropriately.

You probably have '''Automatically start Firefox in a Private Browsing session''' selected in the Privacy tab in Options. That will cause those Tools menu items to be greyed-out. And when using that Option the (Private Browsing) line doesn't show in the Titlebar.

How can I login to a site that is .htaccess password protected with java

Forgive me if this is a dumb question. I am have never done this before and haven't been able to find out how to do this. I want to send some xml (passportRequest) to a server that is listening. The hard part is this server is password protected with htaccess. I have the username and password and I tried adding it to the url (ie https://user:password@server....) but not luck. I read somewhere that I can't do that anymore...is that right? I tried the code below but no luck there either. Any of you guys have any tutorials you could point me to or suggestions? Thanks!
String urlStr = "https://www.myserver.com/pathto/requestlistener";
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
con.setRequestProperty("reqData", passportRequest);
sun.misc.BASE64Encoder encoder = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder();
String encryptedPassword = encoder.encode((customerId+":"+password).getBytes());
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", encryptedPassword);

con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " +
encryptedPassword);should do the trick.AWESOME! I was so close. Thanks for the tip. Does
"Basic" just tell the server what type of
authentication to use? What are the other options
available? Where can I learn more about this stuff?
I figured it was something simple like that, but when
no one responded I was beginning to wonder if it was
possible. I didn't know why it would be (its setting
headers and that shouldn't matter where you are doing
it from, browser or code). Thanks again!All of this (including what you have to supply to log in from any client, Java or not) is in the information that the first link in my previous post displays. However - you have to read it.

Password protecting mail app and permanent deletion of emails so they don't appear in spotlight search

I realise that there is a temporary way to prevent this happening by unticking the 'mail' option in the spotlight search settings menu, but how do you permanently delete the emails? I assumed that when I hit delete then emptied the trash box, the mails were gone for good. But finding that they remain stored in some hidden place and can be easily accessed is very annoying! In fact, finding that other users can quickly change the settings back and have free access to my email is rather disturbing anyway, especially as there is no way to password protect my email account once i activate the mail app. the apple mail app is linked to my yahoo account, but within yahoo mail there seems to be no problem in regards to deleted mail being stored somewhere else, only within the apple app system.
So i guess id like to know, is there some way to password protect my account or do I just need to keep deleting my account before lending the ipad to someone else and then reinstating it? And is there any way to properly delete emails for good?
I would be happy just to go without the mail app and log in directly through yahoo in Safari, except that I find the notification alert when I receive a new mail very handy!!

[edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

How do I add a password protection to my email on my iPAD? It just pops up now.

How do I add password protection to my email on my ipad? My email just pops up now.

There is no way to password-protect apps (on a non-jailbroken device), but you can password lock the entire device in which case nobody would be able to get into your email (or your device, period) unless you unlocked it for them or they knew the code. Like Meg St._Clair suggested, the best idea is to use the web browser on your iPad (whether it be Safari, Skyfire, etc.) to access your email, then be sure to sign out when done, ensuring others can still use your device, but can't access your email account.

Retrieving data from a password protected URL

Hi guys,
I was hoping that someone might be able to advise me on how to read data into java from a password protected URL. The first page has a "login" area, where the username and password must be supplied before access to the next pages are allowed. It is from these following pages that I wish to get the data.
I have a user name and password, and when I log in the usual way no cookie is created, nor is the username or password displayed as a part of the URL. Therefore, when I run my HTML parsing program to parse those pages, I get a message saying that I have to login first.
You can have a look at the site should you wish (I strongly advise this to get an understanding of the problem): http://news.ft.com/home/uk/
If anybody has some source code that could resolve this issue, I would be terribly grateful.
Thanks!

Hi.
Usually you should be able to access
password-protected sites using a URL of the
form:http://username:[email protected]
-page.com/If you're trying to access those sites without using a
browser, you still have to encode the username and
password with base64-encryption, which is usually done
by the browser.
cheers,
kelysarMy program accesses this site without using a browser.....
In this case would you or anybody else be able tell me how to go through the process from start to finish? I just haven't got a clue!

If I open more than one tab and then sign out of a password protected site in one tab, it will log me back in if both tabs are not closed and I return to the site. How do I change this?

If I open a firefox browser and then I were to open another tab (e-mail for example) which is a password protected website, and then I sign out of my e-mail in the tab and close that tab, I can still access my e-mail without having to re-enter a password by going back to the e-mail website from the brower that is still open.
ex. If I open google and am looking at something so I open another tab to go to hotmail. I then sign out of my hotmail and go back to the google site. If I then go to hotmail from the google site, even though I have signed out it will take me back into my e-mail unless I have closed all tabs upon signing out.
Is there a way to make it so that if you sign out in one tab it completely signs you out?

Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent session restore from restoring a crashed session.
*"Hang at exit": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
*"Firefox hangs when you quit it": https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Why do the new Tiles show password-protected content?

I updated to the new 33.1 version of firefox with the enhancements to the tiles displayed on a blank tab. I do not know if this behavior started prior to this update, or with it; just that my attention was drawn to it during the 33.1 tour.
Issue: Some of the tiles are displaying screenshots of pages that are password-protected. These are for sites that I am currently NOT LOGGED IN TO. Therefore, my expectation is that no protected data should be visible. This is not what is happening. An FTP site clearly shows filenames and data; my dropbox account shows the various folders, etc. Again, these are accounts I am signed out of, so there is no way firefox should have cached images of them.
In my opinion this is a serious security bug that needs addressed. In the meantime, any way I can disable this behavior?

Firefox captures thumbnails while you are viewing a site and caches those for later display on the new tab page. It is not doing a real-time login to your FTP site.
You can block sites from the new tab page if you do not want them there. When mousing over the tile, look for the "X" in the upper right corner.
To stop Firefox from capturing a thumbnail image of a site, currently, there is a preference you can add to completely stop Firefox from capturing thumbnails at all, but the bug filed to try to work out how to block sensitive sites selectively is still under discussion.
To use that global preference:
(1) Select and copy the following preference name: '''browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled'''
(2) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(3) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''thumb''' and pause while the list is filtered. (This isn't strictly necessary, but makes it easier to see your change after you make it.)
(4) Right-click in the list area and choose New > Boolean. In the dialog asking for the preference name, paste the one you copied earlier and click OK. Given the choice between false and true, choose true to disable capturing of thumbnails and then click OK.
This is not retroactive, so Firefox still will have copies of your previously captured thumbnails. I'm sure there is a way to clear those, but I'd have to research it.
Regarding the bug report I mentioned: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755996 755996 – [New Tab Page] shows sensitive information in the thumbnails].

Password-protected PDF demands password in triplicate

I'm having problems with a password-protected PDF (created in Acrobat Pro 8 ) which opens fine with a single entry of the password when downloaded but when website visitors try to open the form directly in their browser it keeps asking for the password and will only open on the third password attempt (by when most visitors will have given up on it). Could you please tell me what is causing this phenomenon and whether I can fix it? TIA.
Simon

It looks like this issue may be limited to files that have been set to restrict the user's ability to print or edit the document (even after a password has been entered for viewing). I found that a password-protected PDF could be viewed in iBooks, but after I added the print restriction, I had the same problem you reported.

How do I password protect a webpage in adobe muse?

I want to create a webpage in which I can password protect it so only people with a username and password can get in. How can I do this. By the way, I am new to adobe muse and I am only 12 (I just have in interest in computers). Thanks!

Chech this out
What is Password Protection
There are many websites that cause a box to pop up asking you for a username and password. If you don't know the password, you can't enter the site. This provides some security to your Web pages and gives you the chance to choose who you want to allow to see and read your Web pages. There are many ways to password protect your Web pages, from PHP, to JavaScript, to HTAccess (on the Web server).
When Should You Password Protect Pages?
With HTAccess, you can password protect any page or directory on your Web server. You can even protect the entire website if you want to. HTAccess is the most secure method of password protection, as it relies on the Web server, so the valid usernames and passwords are never shared with the Web browser or stored in the HTML like they can be with other scripts. People use password protection:
Hiding new versions of your website from the public until they are ready to launch.
Protecting private sections of your website so that only people you know and trust can read them.
Providing paid content to your customers and only allowing access via a password.
Creating a private forum for select readers.
It's Easy to Password Protect Your Web Pages
You need to do two things:
Create a password file to store the usernames and passwords that will have access to the directory.
Create an htaccess file in the directory to be password protected.
Create the Password File
Open a new text file called.htpasswdNote the period at the beginning of the filename.
Use a password encryption program to create your passwords. Paste the lines into your .htpasswd file and save the file. You will have one line for every username that requires access.
Upload the .htpasswd file to a directory on your Web server that is not live on the Web. In other words, you should not be able to go to http://YOUR_URL/.htpasswd - it should be in a home directory or other location that is secure.
Create the htaccess File
Open a text file called.htaccessNote the period at the beginning of the filename.
Add the following to the file: AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd/file/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Name of Area" AuthType Basic require valid-user
Change/path/to/htpasswd/file/.htpasswdto the full path to the .htpasswd file you uploaded in above.
Change"Name of Area"to the name of the site section being protected. This is used primarily when you have multiple areas with different protection levels.
Save the file and upload it to the directory you want protected.
Test that the password works by accessing the URL. If your password doesn't work, go back to the encryption programs and encrypt it again. Remember that the username and password will be case-sensitive. If you are not prompted for a password, contact your system administrator to make sure that HTAccess is turned on for your site.

OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
that is protected with a password.
Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.
