Public page asking for authentication

Hi there,
I have three pages in my application (aside from the login page) that are publicly accessible; ie, they have the 'Authentication' field in the page attributes set to 'Page Is Public'. Two of the pages work fine; they are accessible to unauthenticated users and display without hindrance. However, the third page always displays the login page instead of the page itself.
There are differences between the way the pages are referred to. For example, setting pages' caches to be cleared, so I have tried using URLs with these components being the same and still get different behaviour. Also, they differ in setting variables in the URL so again, I have tried both setting variables and not in both the working and non-working pages and always get different behaviour.
This is most strange behaviour; I have, within the same application, pages which should work the same way but don't. I would create a test case but the test case already exists within the application (the working public pages) and doesn't cause a problem.
What reason could there be that one page set to be publicly accessible works fine with unauthenticated users but another page asks for authentication?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Dimitri,
There's been a misunderstanding here. I don't use caching. What I mentioned was regarding the ClearCache component of Apex URLs (the 6th component.) Any pages listed in this component will have their item values cleared. This is distinct from Apex's rendering cache which appears to be what you're referring to.
The issue is to do with different authentication behaviour in pages with the same settings.
Regards,
Robert

  • Why is my public web site asking for authentication ?

    Hi,
    Why is my public web site asking for authentication ?
    My web site and the section of the default page belongs to Public group.
    My layout belongs to the WebAsset group.
    The document inside the default page belongs to Public group and Web/FP/RepMetiersSP account.
    Public group has only read access to everything.
    Also, what is the difference between unspecified group (inside site studio designer) and Public group ?
    Thanks,
    Jean-Pierre

    My fault. Inside this environment, I've specified the need for an account to access documents.

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.

  • Proxy server keeps asking for authentication

    My MacOS10.7.3 server coordinates a small subnet of 100 macs. To access the internet as provided by the larger organisation we must go through a proxy server. Unfortunately the proxy server keeps asking for authentication and checking the Remember This Password barely helps. Any tips would be appreciated.

  • SMTP  doesn't ask for authentication, but won't send

    Hello,
    I have a javaMail program that has worked in the past, but since then I have switched ISP's. The new ISP does not provide email service, but my mother still has an account with the old ISP, so I tried connecting to the old one using her username and password. The thing is the old ISP doesn't ask for authentication, I can connect and it says sender "ok" but then it just denies my email saying "relaying denied", invalid destination address. I used to be able to send emails with any sender and destination email addresses from this same smtp server when I had an account(from my computer). So I guess my question is it still possible for me to use this smtp server when I have authentication, but it doesn't ask for it?
    here is debug code:

    If JavaMail doesn't see the "AUTH" line from the server, it won't attempt to authenticate.

  • Wikipedia asking for authentication

    Hello all. I'm not sure when this started happening for me, at least within the past couple of days, but when I search for something on Wikipedia, or go to it via a direct link, it asks for authentication. I'm not sure if it could be the result of a virus or not, but I am currently running a scan. Assuming URLs work on these forums, here is a link to a screen shot of this problem http://img707.imageshack.us/i/authent.png/ This problem has only begun occurring in the past 8-10 hours and seems to be isolated to Wikipedia.
    Well it appears that I can go to Wikipedia if I use a web based proxy.

    Create an SM50 trace with only the security component turned to trace level 2. In order to do so, run transaction SM50 and select some of the dialog work processes (around 5). Then choose 'Processes -> Trace -> Active components' from the menu (or use CTRL-SHIFT-F7). Set the trace level to 2 and select only the 'Security' component. Reproduce the SSO problem, and note the time. Return to the SAP system to check the traces you just started (CTRL-SHIFT-F8 in SM50). This trace collects information on work process level. Therefore, you need to find the work process that has handled the authentication attempt.
    This procedure is described in Note 495911 in more detail.

  • Why is google safari asking for authentication?

    Why is google safari asking for authentication?

    What's Google Safari? If you mean the Google search engine, it shouldn't. If you are access another section of Google, another app of fucntion, then it wan't you to log on to get to it.
    You might try cleaing Safari's cache (Settings app > Safari > Clear History and then Clear Cookies and Data). but without knowing more about what you are doing, its hard to tell what the issue is.

  • Flash movie asking for authentication???

    Hi,
    I'm new to flash 8, I recently created a simple menu with a
    couple of buttons. When I view the movie in an html file on the
    computer that hosts it, It appears fine. If I try to view that page
    from another computer on the network it brings up a secure realm
    type authentication window, asking for the username and password
    for the windows account on the machine hosting the file. If I don't
    enter any details the file never loads.
    Why is it doing this? How do I fix it?
    Thanks in advance

  • Java Applet Constantly Asks for Authentication

    With have a ADF application on Weblogic 10 that has occasional access to a Java applet. The Java applet is loaded whenever it's needed and not loaded whenever it isn't in a facet. The applet is currently in the public_html/applet folder.
    When we set the SSL configuration to requiring a client certificate, when the Java applet loads, it'll constantly ask for a client certificate even though the user already presented the client when hitting the website:
    Request Authentication Identification required. Please select certificate to be used for authentication.
    This is annoying to users and the Java Applet doesn't need authentication. Is there any way we can disable the authentication or remove the prompt?
    Here's the embedded applet code:
    <applet height="1" width="1" code="applet.Applet.class"archive="/app/applet/SApplet.jar" /><param name="permissions" value="all-permissions"/></applet>
    Things I've already tried:
    1) Setting the Applet up on HTTP instead of HTTPS; I get a warning about mixed content and still get the authentication pop-up.
    2) Created a minimal applet that only types out "HELLO WORLD" in the console, still get the authentication pop-up
    Here's the console window:

  • Lion PAC proxy asking for authentication reapeatedly

    Hello, Can some bro help with this problem which never happens with the same PAC proxy on Snow Leopard, like title says, Lion (10.7.2) frequently pops up the dialog asking for the authentication for the proxy server.

    Do not use the suggestion to unload the notification center.  That does not fix the problem.
    This post provides the correct solution.
    Usually a proxy authentication dialog allows the user the option to 'allow once' or 'always' etc, and to save the proxy login details to the user's login keychain.
    But under both 10.8 and in particular 10.9 whenever a proxy is in use, the user gets bombarded with multiple recurrent proxy authentication dialogs without any save options and without any identifier.
    Using the terminal command nettop, I discovered that the offending dialogs come from system processes, most notably syncdefaultsd.  (How to do this at the end of the post)
    The problem is that syncdefaultsd is not keychain aware. It needs access to the user's proxy settings at regular intervals, but can't get them from the user's login keychain. It's proxy request dialog does not have the option to save the details to the user's keychain, and worse still does not identify syncdefaultsd as the requesting process. Even if you open your login keychain to allow any application access to your proxy, syncdefaultsd will still keep asking for your proxy details.
    The solution is to ensure that you have working proxy settings saved in the *system* keychain, not just your personal login keychain.
    So when you next get one of these dialogs:
    1. Note the server name that is requesting authentication, the port (usually 8080) and if it is an http or https request. Typically it will be something in the form https://someproxyserver.someorganization.com:8080
    2. See if you already have an entry for that server in your login keychain. If not, make one manually, (being sure to enter the whole thing as per the example above with the :8080 at the end). Typically that there needs to be two separate keychain entries per proxy server, one for http and a second for https, though syncdefaultsd only uses https.
    3. Once you have login keychain entries for the proxy server, double-click them and ensure that under Access all applications are allowed, and that your user name is saved.
    4. Now for the fun bit. Option-drag and drop these entries into your system keychain. Click on the system keychain, and confirm that they are there, and that all the settings are exactly right.
    For good measure, do a shift-restart then a normal restart.
    You should now get no more annoying dialogs for that particular proxy server. If your proxy server has more than one alias, or if you have several, then whenever you get a new unidentified dialog, repeat the above.
    I discovered it using the terminal command nettop, typing into the terminal:
    nettop -m tcp
    This lists all active network processes. If you quit all apps you should still see quite a few network processes. If you see syncdefaultsd, wait for it to go away, or kill it via the Activity Monitor. If you haven't done the fix as above, and you open Safari, you'll see syncdefaultsd open shortly after Safari, and the annoying dialog immediately appears. After the fix is implemented, the dialogs don't appear when syncdefaultsd tries to start up.
    Hope this helps someone, and that Apple fixes it in 10.9.1
    Cheers
    Chris.

  • Move page asking for iDisk password

    Hi everyone,
    I added a movie page to my iWeb website (hosted on .Mac with a personal domain). When browsing to the movie page, the browser asks for my iDisk password. I then turned off password protection in my .Mac System Preferences, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers!

    Yes I do. Removing the password solves the problem. However, I would like to keep a password on the site, but not enter a password for the movies on the movie page, especially when the requested password is my iDisk password, not the site password!
    Cheers!

  • 6.0.1 asking for authentication

    I got this when trying to connect with my router after updating. Can't attach picture. It asks for username and password.

    I ended up doing a clean install of a MARS50, originally 4.3.6, and still have problems with graphgen shutting down.
    I have no support on my MARS 50 so I'm stuck waiting for a possible future upgrade beyond 6.0.1. It's odd that the same ISO install gives different results on the same hardware. MARS in not exactly an "appliance" like a PIX but still...ISO based installations should produce identical installations

  • [SOLVED] Systemd asking for authentication to suspend all of a sudden

    Hello,
    This morning, while experimenting with the Wake-on-lan settigns on my computer, systemd started asking for my credentials in order to suspend the system. This is annoying, becuase i have a script that does this automatically. It is now broken. Also, I'm not aware of any changes I've made to the system, other than waking it up on lan once or twice. I've done several normal reboots since then.
    The funny thing is, if i'm just in a TTY, it'll let me suspend the system. Once i start X, it starts asking for credentials. It's almost like it is interpreting the X session as a separate user logon...
    Any ideas on how to correct this? I've tried removing ck-launch-session from the .xinitrc shown below, but it had no effect (not that i really expected it to).
    Thanks,
    Aaron
    If it helps, this is how i start X:
    #! /bin/sh
    [ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile
    ck-launch-session /usr/bin/i3
    EDIT: Aaaand my .xprofile

  • Pages asks for license

    Hi Folks,
    I purchased the Family Pack Box Set w/ iWork09 and have installed it on all of our Macs. All iWork apps work fine on my MacBook, my wives MacBook, but my son's intel iMac will not open any iWork app, even tho it is from the Family Pack. It keeps asking for license number to "unlock" it.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
    Adam

    The last time I looked all new Macs came with the trial of iWork. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each us.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
