Requests username and password to something

There is a huge problem all of a sudden, and it occurs on almost every website I go on, as far as I know it's on wesbites where you are have the option to log in. I'm not sure. I get a Safari popup message :
*To view this page, you need to log in to area "jnb-opteqcache04.iburst.co.za Cache Authentication" on images.intellitxt.com:80. Your password will be sent in the clear.*
After that there are the fields for the username and password. I have no idea what made this happen, I was normally browsing on last.fm and this appeared. This is on Safari 3.2.2 but I tried the 4.0 beta and it happened there too. If I press Cancel it appears again and again and again. I don't want to enter any passwords before I know what this problem is, and where will the info go and for what do I need to enter it for? I've Googled the problem, and it appears it only happens in Safari but can't find much about it.

The problem has been cleared up, no idea how but its all been working smooth for a few months now.

Buyer requesting username and password after I performed factory reset. Possible scam?

So on my iphone 4s operating iOS 7, I performed a factory reset using itunes. I then sold my phone to someone online, and they are now asking me for a username and password to unlock the phone. I thought that factory resetting would clear out all data? Is it possible he legitimitely needs my usename and password after a factory reset?
Do you think the buyer is scamming me? Should I give him my username and password?

It does not. They need your Apple ID and password to use the phone. If Find My Phone is turned on then you can remotely erase the phone so it will restore as New. You would do this by logging into icloud.com with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Find My Phone icon. Then select your device under the Apple Devices list. When selected a small window dialog opens. Click on the Erase iPhone link.

In some pages I keep receiving this message: "The proxy moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080"".

In my company, I used FF for sometime now.
I had some problem in the beginning, but using the proxy IP and Domain\Username + Password I was able to navigate.
Ever since I tried FF4.x and FF5.x... I started to receive the following message:
The proxy moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://172.20.5.250:8080"
Even after inserting the Domain\Username and the Password I keep receiving the same error. In FF3.xx I was able to use the proxy.
Don't know what to do any more there are several pages that have this problem.

Some... don't have any problem:
http://batracer.com
http://www.youtube.com
Even when I try to see the extensions I get this error. This is so weird!!!
For now... I have switched to Chrome, every new version of FF that is released I try it to see if the problem is gone. But, with no luck until now! :(

I did have this problem with proxy moz-proxy prompt for username and password. In my case it was for websites hosted not on the internet but on the local corporate intranet. I solved my problem by doing the following action:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings: add the local website to the "No Proxy For:" field.
I hope this will help some of you out there that have manually configured their proxy settings. Also a tip if you need to turn on and off proxy settings I recommend using "Quick Proxy" add-on.

Username and password are being requested by

I can't open my firefox browser. An authentication required message pops up saying- a username and password are being requested by https://proxyvip.econ.mpg.de:444. The site says "Radius" - What do I do to get firefox working again? i can't do anything with it

You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
See if you can use the Profile Manager to start Firefox in Offline mode.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut and add a space and <b>-url "about:blank"</b> to the target/command field.
If that allows to start Firefox then check the connection settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Lpadmin - request for username and password - not responding correctly

Recently updated to a new computer and 10.5.7.
A printer was paused (somehow). Tried to resume printing and got a request for an lpadmin administrator user name and password. Mine is the only account on this computer. Put in my user name and password, but this was rejected. If I tried 3 times I was told to try later (and given my password hint). However, after clicking OK to this dialogue the action WAS taken.
Same thing happened when I tried to add a printer. It will not accept my username and password, but if I persist until I get the message to try again later, the printer WAS added.
So, I am back to having a printer, but this seems like a bug.

I have a request from a customer to run a script to create multiple Usernames and Passwords on ACS5.3 appliance.

I have a request from a cutomer to run a script to create multiple username and password on ACS5.3 Appliance. Does anyone has any suggestion on how to go about this?

Have you tried using the import option on the ACS? You can put all your accounts in a csv file and upload it into the ASA.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/users_id_stores.html#wp1132152
If that doesnt work you can use the REST Web Services in ACS also:

I'm being asked for a password with the following statement: The proxy moz-proxy://192.168.30.5:800 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://192.168.30.5:800"

Here's an example of what happens when I cancel the username and password request:
ERROR: Cache Access Denied
Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:
http://cben.net/?
from this cache because your username and password are incorrect or your user group does not have permission to web browse. Please check your username and password. They are case sensitive so make sure Caps Lock is not on.
This happens 100% of the time.

I have the same problem. It ask for all elements that proxt detects ("NetworkError: 407 Proxy Authentication Required").
Solution "No proxy" not works because i aslo require internet.
I have version 10.0.2 on windwos XP, and this happens to me since I update it. On chrome and ie works without prompt.
I upload and example, this page calls facebooks elements (i can't acces facebook) and others, for each element prompt proxy is shown.

How do i change proxy settings so it doesnt keep asking me "authentication req. The proxy web2.ucsd.edu is requesting a username and password. The site says: ucsd Squid Proxy-cache"?

I changed my proxy setting to access a restricted school website. I don't know how to change it back to normal settings! Every time i'm browsing internet, Authentication Required windows pop up like 4-7 times a day! randomly! it says "the proxy web2.ucsd.edu:3128 is requesting a username and password. The site says: UCSD Squid proxy-cache". and makes me put in username and password every time. sooo annoying. how do i make the setting go back to default??

1. Open firefox
2. Go to "Tools" tab
3. Go to "Options"
4. Click on "Advanced"
5. Open "Network" tab
6. Click on "Settings"
7. Select "No Proxy"
8. Click "OK"

Username and password request every 2-3 minutes wh...

Hello.
I am a BT broadband customer and recently I learnt that I have free access to BTFon or BT Openzone when I am away from home. That is really useful to me as I spent some days away from home due to work. Unfortunately I am usually in remote areas where BTFon and BT openzone signals can be weak and thus using the internet gets very problematic, especially with my computer not keeping my BTbroadband username and password. Is there a way to solve this? Why do I need to re-enter my details everytime the connection fails? I am using a MAC laptop. Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
Solved!

ITunes 10.6.0.40 doesn't remember my username and password

So I listen to a paid podcast that requires me to log in through iTunes before allowing updates, which WAS all fine and good till I downloaded the current version of iTunes (10.6.0.40). Now, instead of a "Windows Security" window popping up to request my username and password for this podcast's site, the window appears to be from iTunes itself. Problem is, it won't remember my username and password like the old Windows Security window used to do. Before when the request came up, the username and password boxes would fill in automatically, since I'd checked the "Remember password" checkbox. I could then just click the OK button and iTunes would proceed to update the podcast. Now, even when I've clicked the "Remember password" checkbox, the username and password boxes in the window are blank every time. I find this behavior VERY frustrating.
I'm running the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 32-bit machine, which is also up to date on patches and fixes. Am I missing something obvious or is this just broken now?

Amen to that...another "fix" that tagged along with the last upgrade.

How to set username and password before redirecting to a RESTful webservice

I am a .Net developer who has developed a webservice used by my ColdFusion colleagues. They are using ColdFusion 9 but I'm not sure if they have incorporated any of the newer features of ColdFusion in their apps. Here is a snippet of how they have been invoking the webmethods:
<cfscript>
                     ws = CreateObject("webservice", "#qTrim.webServiceName#");
                     ws.setUsername("#qTrim.trimAcct#");
                     ws.setPassword("#qTrim.trimpwd#");
                     wsString=ws.UploadFileCF("#qTrim.webserviceurl#","#objBinaryData#", "#qFiles.Filename#", "Document", "#MetaData#");
            </cfscript>
As I understand things, the .setUsername and .setPassword correspond to the Windows credentials the CF Admin set when the URL of the .Net webservice was "registered" and given its "name" (for the CreateObject statement above). I have 4 webmethods that are all invoked in this manner and this SOAP protocol works adequately for us. Please note that this ColdFusion web app authenticates anonymous remote internet users by prompting for a username and password and compares them to an application database (i.e. Microsoft calls this "forms authentication"). Because only a few Windows domain accounts are authorized to call this .Net webservice, the above code always uses the same username/password constants and it all works.
My question involves the newest webmethod added to the .Net webservice. It requires that callers must invoke it as a RESTful service which means it must be invoked by its URL. Here is a snippet of C# code that invokes it from an ASP.NET webclient:
            string r = txtRecordNumber.Text;
            string baseurl = "http://localhost/sdkTrimFileServiceASMX/FileService.asmx/DownloadFileCF?";
            StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(baseurl);
            url.Append("trimURL="); url.Append(txtFakeURLParm.Text);
            url.Append("&");
            url.Append("TrimRecordNumber="); url.Append(txtRecordNumber.Text);
            Response.Redirect(url.ToString());
I assume a ColdFusion script could easily build a full URL as above with appended querystring parameters and redirect. Is there some way for the CF code redirecting to a RESTful webservice (by way of its URL) to set the Username and Password to this Windows account mentioned above? When the DownloadFileCF webmethod is hit it must be with the credentials of this special Windows domain account. Can that be set by ColdFusion someway to mimic the result of the SOAP technique (the first snippet above).
I hope my question is clear and someone can help me make suggestions to my ColdFusion colleagues. Thanks.

Can you clarify what you mean by "establish a different Windows identity"? Usually passing identity to a web site or service means adding something to the request's HTTP headers. This could be a cookie in the case of .NET forms authentication or the "Authorization" header in the case of basic authentication.
The SOAP web service invocation code you posted does use basic authentication, according to the CF docs "ColdFusion inserts the user name/password string in the authorization request header as a base64 binary encoded string, with a colon separating the user name and password. This method of passing the user name/password is compatible with the HTTP basic authentication mechanism used by web servers."
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec13a13 -7fe0.html
If you need to mimic the SOAP techinque you should have basic authentication enabled for your REST service endpoints.
If your authentication method is different then CF developers will need to add the appropriate HTTP headers to their service calls. Note that calling a REST service from CF would probably be accomplished using the CFHTTP tag if the service is designed to be consumed by the CF server.

Get DB Username and password from current connection

Hi folks,
I'm presuming this is something absurdly simple, i therefore offer my apologies in advance. my requirement is quite different from the very famous dynamic JDBC credentials example.
I'm using Struts on a 10.1.2 implementation. We have numerous Oracle reports that we wish to call from Jdev (through a report server call). To provide the credentials to the Report server I need to provide the DB connection's username, password and SID. This I intend to do in a helper class in my web module.
Is there a plain vanilla simple way of getting this done. I know "context.getApplicationModule().getTransaction().getConnectionMetadata().getUserName()" gives me the Database Username- just like that. Is there a similar way to obtain the password and SID as well. While getTransaction().getConnectionMetadata().getJdbcURL is also quite useful, how "for the life of me" do i get the password of the current DB connection (assuming I have an application module that is already connected). I basically wish to directly use connections from the application module directly without the need to manually specify/hard-code these credentials in my code.
I've searched the forums and haven't been able to get the answer I was looking for (that or I;m searching in the wrong areas). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers

Hey Timo,
thanks for that. I still have a couple of doubts.
One the nature of the application is slightly different. we use independent usernames and passwords which are stored in the DB (different from DB username and password). The request(for the report-server call) comes only after the user is authenticated. Like you rightly said it's not a good idea to store the password and I'm pretty sure that option is completely ruled out.
My questions is, given that the user already has an application module at hand which would mean he has a valid connection to "a" DB- (once again we have multiple DB scenario), I merely wish to use the information from the Connection that the application module is using to issue the request to the report server call. I take it the call to oracle reports server wouldn't accept a connect string, you necessarily have to provide the DB username/password and SID.
My question now, is there anyway to obtain the password(or merely point my report server to this without requiring to store it) from the application module connection.
I hope my query is clear, please let me know if what i'm saying needs to be clarified or doesn't make sense.
