Securing webpages on the site with username and password

whats the best way to secure web pages on a web site.
if the users are given user name and password and are required to autheticate before accessing the information on the secured pages

It depends on many parameters. Like what is the nature of business transacted on the web site, how many end users are to be supported, whether its and intranet sote or is exposed to all on the internet, are there users who can perform opertions using multiple roles, can the authentication mechanisms built into the web server(s) be used etc, etc.
See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/blueprints/apmTOC.html Specifically chapters 9.2 and 9.3 for getting some kind of orientation towards web application security.

  • I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

  • [Deployment] How NOT to hard code the Database SID, Username, and Password

    Hi, I'm new in J2EE so be easy on me. :)
    How can I parameterize the database SID, username, and password in my J2EE application? So that anyone can change the SID, username, and password without the need to modify my code? I use Oracle 10g, ADF BC, JSF and JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.
    My friend said that I can use XML for this. But he didn't go to detail for doing this. Is it true? Is there any [or better alternative]?
    Any help or pointer to a simple tutorial would be fine.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi -- this is quite easy to do with J2EE.
    In your application code, you declare "logical" references to resources (such as datasources, security roles, etc.) and use those in your application code so all it depends on is the logical name
    On the server where the application is deployed, "physical" resources are created that point to the actual resource -- in the case of a database, this would be the JDBC URL, username, password.
    At deployment time of the application, you then use the facilities of deployment tool to "map" the logical references in the application, to the physical references that exist on the server. So you connect the dots between your application needing something and the server providing the something. That way all the "details" are abstracted out of the your application code.
    I don't know how this works in ADF, BC4J, etc. but I presume that since they are based on standard/J2EE, it must be available somehow.
    I wrote something about this a while back using direct JDBC as an example:

  • I am unable to connect to my RackSpace Windows Server via ARD. I have added a computer entering the ip address, username, and password but I can't establish a connection. I am missing a setting or to step that is different in ARD?

    I am unable to connect to my RackSpace Windows Server via ARD. I have added a computer entering the ip address, username, and password but I can't establish a connection. I am missing a setting or to step that is different in ARD?

    ARD only works with Windows computers if the Windows computer is running VNC server software.  Even then it can only control and observe.  Do you have this installed?

    JRV,
    I can understand that, 1stly I am not a scripting guy, I know very very basic of this,
    2ndly, I need help , I am not asking anyone here to write code for me, I have already wrote that but its not doing which its suppose to do,
    check below screen shot, after running suggested script, it has mapped drive ,
    now I do not want to do that, I want just files to copy from that machine to my machine, and want script which I can run from any PC,
    Tried with UNC PATH as well, but not making any difference, its keep mapping that server drive to my computer

    P Dave
    Bill - he still sees that "connection" although it isn't mapped it is attached temporarily.
    P - Log off and log back on and the attached connection will be gone.  It is temporary.   Again - knowing the basics of WIndows would let you know this.
    We have given you all of the answers that are possible.  There is no other way unless you have installed things like PowerShell and PowerShell remoting or an FTP server.
    If you do use a drive it can be just as easily deleted after you have finished the copy.
    Again: "NET USE /?" will tell you all of the options.
    Saying you know nothing is not an excuse for not thinking or looking more deeply into the suggestions made by those trying to help you.  This is not a MIcrosoft support forum or help desk.  It is a forum for admiinistrative scripting and assumes
    that those coming here are technically trained or experienced in the basics of Windows technology.

  • Using url with username and password in URL class

    Hi,
    I'm writting an applet in which I use getAppletContext().showDocument with an URL.
    The problem is that I'm using URLs with username and password (http://user:[email protected]/page) and it isn't working because the browser is getting the URL http://user/page.
    Is this a bug in the URL class? Or in the showDocument method?
    Is there any way to make this work?
    Thanks for any help,
    Pedro Prospero Luis ([email protected])

    I'm not sure whether this is supported behaviour. I've had this syntax fail to work in the Netscape address bar so I can't recommend it as an approach for authentication.
    If you want to authenticate the user before redirecting to the page, though, you could try creating a connection to another page on the same server and sending the authorization information then. Your browser may then be successfully authenticated.
    See http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip47.html for information on this.
    You might not need to read back the page from the server, just connect to it. Might work.

    [email protected]

    Dave,
    No worries, this link will help you with your issues. You do have a revel account with that email, so resetting your password should be all you need to do. Just click on the "I forgot my password" link on the web page listed below:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/account-password-sign-faq.html
    Once you reset your password, you should be able to login to revel at adoberevel.com on a browser or from one of our apps on mac, ios, win8, or android.

  • What is the print server username and password?

    I am trying to install a Kodak ESP 5210 printer.
    I set up the printer - it is on my wireless network.
    I installed the Kodak printer software - it too installed correctly.
    At the final step I need to "add printer" I click + in the printer window.
    I then choose the kodakaio directory under "Windows".
    I then choose kodakesp5200_00.
    I am asked for the print server username and password.
    I tried my log in password with just my first name in lowercase as username as this field was filled out by default.
    I tried lots of different things, including no password, but the printer "Add" button never becomes not greyed out.
    Would appreciate help. Kodak were no help.
    I have pinged the printer successfully so its definitely on the network.
    Thanks

    Because nothing is listed in the default printer directory

  • Sign in with username and password every time I want to check emails on my PC using iCloud?

    Signing in with username and password every time I want to check emails on my PC using iCloud
    Having convinced my parents to get rid of their old AOL account and sign up for iCloud to sync their new iPhone with their old PC running Windows 7, I thought I was on to a winner. All working OK but is there any other way to get into emails besides going on iCloud website and signing in with name and password everytime? Can it be set up as a Mail account directly like on a Mac? Or using Outlook or Entourage? Help! I'm not a PC person!!
    ELF

    If they have Win 7 or 8, and Outlook 2007 or newer then you can.
    Just download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Install and select the services you want (Mail Contacts and Calendars will appear in Outlook)

  • Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

    I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones.  Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email.  Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

    If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

    is there any way we can avoid the entering my username and password always when i click on the URL.
    Thanks

    sure.
    You can include the password and the username in the BSP link :
    <bsp_lnk>?sap-client=<client>?sap-user=<username>?sap-password=<password>
    where:
    <client>  = client where the username and password are defined
    <bsp_lnk> = your bsp link
    <username> = your username
    <password> = your password
