Session Manager for Safari? Glims pathetic?

Is Glims unable to match what Firefox has in Session Manager? Glims can only retrieve the last session of tabs before a crash, and then only if the history's not been cleared (if it has, you'll get all the tabs that you had open, pre-crash, but none of the sites). Session Manager allows you to select one of a long list of previous web sessions' roster of sites you had tabbed and were working with.
Sorry, Safari, I tried to come back to you, but on this count, you lose to Firefox in a big way.

HI,
*Sorry, Safari, I tried to come back to you, but on this count, you lose to Firefox in a big way*
Keep in mind that Glims is 3rd party software. Apple has no control over this. Make sure you have the latest version of Glims and repair disk permissions. See if that helps.

Why is my Safari browsing session not continuing on my iPhone?

Why is my Safari browsing session not continuing on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro? I thought this was a feature of Mountain Lion or do I need to change some settings?

To synce iMessages with iOS and OSX, you need to not only have a well setup contacts card (both their apple id email and their iphone phone number in one card) you will need to setup your apple id on your phone. Your friend will also need to do the same thing on their phone, however you are able to send messages to phone numbers, they do not sync with OSX and will not show up on, say an iPad. This will be fixed once iOS 6 comes out, or at least that's what the keynote and WWDC 2012 said
In iOS go to settings>Messages receive at and sign in with your apple id you use for iMessages. (make sure you are only using one apple id, I know it lets you use multiple ones, but it works best with one).
now that your iOS device and your OSX device have the same apple id email tied to imessages, have a friend send you a message or send one to your friend and when they reply back it should all sync.
A catch, as of now, with iOS 6 not out, there is no way to sync iMessages made with your phone number and OSX. So some of your text messages may only appear on your phone until you respond.
once you respond, you've responded with you apple id.
if they respond to that message specifically then the chat will sync between all devices.
if your friend says that they have two text messages open for you, tell them that they have to add your apple id to the contact card they have for you, and then delete both messages. Now it'll sync in one message box.
The same is true with other chat accounts and your contact cards in Messages.app on OSX
Think of Contacts.app as the new buddy list...

Session management problems with SSO

Hi all-
I've been getting an Apex app tied to SSO as a partner app (per http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). So far, it sort of works. If I go to my apex app, it redirects me to SSO, where I authenticate and end up back in the apex app. Great. Here are two problems I've run into:
1. If I am already authenticated to SSO, and I go to my apex app (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1), my browser goes into an infinite redirect (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:::::FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL:\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\). To resolve, I have to clear cookies.
2. If I am using my apex app, then log out of SSO (in another browser window), I can still click around in my apex app (i.e., apex thinks I'm still authenticated).
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm wondering if I need to do something in page session management (under authentication schemes) to fix #2, but I have no clue about #1.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Scott-
Thanks for the info on #2 - I'll work on that after I get #1 sorted out, since it's the more dire problem. Here's some more info:
Apex version = 3.0.1.00.08
SSO SDK = ssosdk902.zip
I set it up as "My Application as Partner App." I used "MY_PARTNER_NAME" as SSO Partner Application Name. In the list of SSO Partner Apps on the SSO Admin page, my partner app name is also MY_PARTNER_NAME. It gives the following info:
Login URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
Single Sign-Off URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout
Home URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
Success URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex/RBLICK.YOUR_PACKAGE.PROCESS_SUCCESS
Logout URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
RBLICK is the schema owning the apex app. In there, I created a package called YOUR_PACKAGE:
create package YOUR_PACKAGE as
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2);
end YOUR_PACKAGE;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY YOUR_PACKAGE AS
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2) as
begin
wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso.process_success(
urlc=>urlc,
p_partner_app_name=>'MY_PARTNER_NAME');
end process_success;
END YOUR_PACKAGE;
Anything look obviously wrong to you?
Thanks!

Hello, I have a big problem with Firefox: Session Manager & Undo Closed Tab addons are not working, Sync Is not working. History is working. How to fix this?

Firefox remembers history but doesn't remember closed tabs, sessions.
It happened after updating Fox to v. 19.0.2 on one computer.
In Firefox Options is set Use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except Always Use Private Browsing Mode. So I am not in private browsing.
When I press on Undo Closed Button nothing happens & in session manager Save Session Button is greyed out. I've tried installing other add-ons that can remember tabs. tried to disable/reinstall these 2 add-ons. Did't help. On my 2nd computer I have same add-ons, same settings and they are working normally. on 3rd computer undo closed tabs works also. How to fix this? I decided to ask before doing Firefox Reset...
Sync is a separate problem. It works, but quite often it logs me out of Sync account. Then I can log in only using long recovery key and password (choosing option I don't have device with me because it does not accept keys for pairing device.)
Thanks for reading.

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

How do I tell FiIrefox to only restore a sesson of more than one tab, and disregard the restore of a single tab session (ie. closing the browser)

I am on the beta channel of Firefox (currently 17.0, by the about window) and I cannot seem to find a way to limit the size of a browsing session that is automatically restored when re-opening the browser. In the past, Firefox would only save sessions of more than one tab when closing the entire application, and ask me about restoring said session when restarted. Now, Firefox seems to treat a session of just a single tab the same, which is a preference I dislike, given that I use a blank start page to great effect.
I am using a number of addons, including Tab Mix Plus, which specifically modifies tab behavior (although I have it configured to use Firefox's default session manager), but the problem persists even with all addons disabled.
I cannot seem to find an option in about:config to change this behavior. Is this a permanent change within Firefox, and if so, is there or will there be an option to specify the number of tabs that constitute a session that will be automatically saved?

Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent session restore from restoring a crashed session.

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.

Issue in session management

Hi All,
I have a problem regarding java session management.
i have created one web application in which i want if user login from one browser instance and opens another instance of same browser and logs in from that then user should be logged out from previous instance. I am using Mozzila 5.0.
Here is what i am doing while creating session in LoginServlet.java
session = request.getSession(false); //return session if already exists
System.out.println("Session object: "+session);
if(session != null)
System.out.println("Session ID Old: "+session.getId());
session.invalidate(); //invalidate the session if already exists
session = request.getSession(true); //Create new session
System.out.println("Session ID New: "+session.getId());
Second and third System.out.println() statements giving the same session id.
This way only the information stored in session when user was logged in from first instance of browser is replaced with the new information stored when the user logged in from second instance of browser, but the user is not logged out from the first browser instance.
Please help me out how i can log the user out from first instance if he logs in from second instance.
Thanks in advance...

Since user in logging again from the same machine so i think invalidating the previous session won't work.
Suppose user opens first instance of the mozilla browser and login as say 'ashok' whose role is normal user now he opens another instance of mozilla by clicking on executable and login as 'mitch' whose role is admin then after successful login of 'mitch' on first window mitch's menus items are getting displayed instead of ashok's.
What i am doing is,
While creating new session on login i first check is any existing session available in above case its true
session = request.getSession(false); //return session if already exists
System.out.println("Session object: "+session);
if(session != null)
System.out.println("Session ID Old: "+session.getId());
session.invalidate(); //invalidate the session if already exists
session = request.getSession(true); //Create new session
System.out.println("Session ID New: "+session.getId());
so control will go inside the if block, here i first invalidate the existing session (this is not destroying the session but only unbinding the information that was stored in the session) and create new session (this is returning the same session which was already exists) and save mitch's information. Since the previous instance was using the same session that will now get the mitch's information so now both instances will show the mitch's information.
I am not getting any way to destroy the existing session so next time new session id will get generated.

Firefox 5 on Win7: All my plugin buttons have gone from the toolbar. They are not in the customise pane. Session manager offers the correct sessions but opens with last session instead. I've re-installed % and reset toolbars. Help!

Win 7
Firefox 5
Problem with high memory use.
restarted
Plugin buttons gone from toolbar/
Missing plugins still show in plugin manager but buttons missing from toolbar add buttons pane.
Tried reset toolbars - no difference.
Tried re-instal of Firefox 5 - no difference except:
Session manager offers correct session on startup but starts with last session

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Database session management in APEX

How is the database session managed in APEX? I found that sometimes a database session can last from page to pages in an APEX application, but sometimes every page starts a new database session.
Is there a way to control the database session in APEX?
Thanks,
-Fengting

Since HTTP is a stateless and connectionless protocol, you are not guaranteed to get the same database session between pages. APEX maintains the session state implicitly. Each session is assigned a unique identifier with APEX. The APEX engine uses the session ID to store and retrieve the applications working set of data or session state before and after each page view.
The session information persists in the database until purged. Therefore, as long as the client's session cookie has not expired, a user can continue running the application long after having first launched it. This is also what allows a user to run multiple instances of an application simultaneously in different browser sessions.
That being said, I think the answer to your question is that it is not necessarily going to be the same database session (but could be), nor can you control it. You should use session state.

Session management for a web service

I am building a web service where the user will need to login and the application will need to maintain a persistent session. I am using Apache Axis2 for client/server communication via SOAP/XML. What would the simplest and most common way of doing this? I know I could implement session management from scratch similarly to how a browser does it, using cookies, but I'd rather use standard Java libraries for this. Am I correct in assuming that even though I'm using Axis2, the solution doesn't really have anything to do with Axis2 since Axis2 is basically just a way for the client/server to send messages to each other?
I've read a lot of information online about this, but there's so much information that it's hard to know where to start. Basically I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction on what classes to use and so on. I just need a simple username password authentication and session management system for a web service.

Session management in JAX-RCP with JWSDP 1.0_01

Hi all,
How can I access to the HTTP Session of the TOMCAT which run the Web Services engine?
Browsing by the API I've found the method getHttpSession() in the interface javax.xmlrpc.server.ServletEndpointContext.
How can get an instance which implements this interface?
Regards,
C�sar.

An old thread but I have a question re session management and web services.
The documentation for ServletEndpointContext says getHttpSession returns null if there is no HTTP session currently active and associated with the service endpoint. It further says the endpoint class should not rely on the HTTP session always being there.
I need to ensure a session is active after a user successfully logs in. Other than spending alot of time implementing session management myself its the only way to tell whether the service requestor is allowed to use the service. Is the session not guaranteed to be active to take account of things like session timeout? Under normal circumstances where the user is sufficiently active to prevent timeout is it reasonable to assume the session will be there?

Session management thru SOAP services

          Hi I am trying to deploy our application in a clsutered environment. Previsouly
          I had some problems with http session replication. That problems were solved but
          now I have another problem.
          Our application has multiple clients, some are browser based and some are swing
          based that use our SOAP services.
          all browser based clients use httpsession for session management, since weblogic
          replicates the httpsession, we have no problem clustering http webapps. But SOAP
          services has no access to httpsession.
          We have implemented our own session management (we cache the app specific session
          objects) so that SOAP services works fine (SOAP services doesn't have access to
          httpsession, so we could not use httpsession for session management). Each method
          in our soap services takes a sessionid and we get the session objects (not http
          session objects but our app specific session objects) based on the sessionid.
          But now that our application is clustered, the session cache mechanism doesn't
          work since its not replicated thru out the clusters.
          I thought I could use stateful session beans to cache the sessions, but how do
          I cache the SFSB thru out the session w/o sending any references to the SFSB to
          the client. I know I can send the Handle reference to the client but We cannot
          change the SOAP API now. The only information client has is the session id.
          My question is: How do I use SFSB w/o changing my soap services method paramaters.
          My SOAP method looks like methodName(String sessionid, ..............)
          I could use a clustered cache but we can't buy anything in the current situation.
          Any help would be appreciated.

Well, does the DSM log have any details? (see [Note 529924|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/529924] on how to view the logs)
My guess is that you are using different protocols between the dispatcher and a backend system: they both have to use HTTP or both use HTTPS (as described in the same note). That would also explain why the URL for the direct connection to the portal doesn't present the error, if that URL has the same protocol as the backend.

Portal session not being terminated. browser "unload" event

This line of code is in the portallauncher.default and eventually causes the problem:
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals.portal:browser", "unload", releaseProducerSessions);
releaseProducerSessions eventually calls a portal component
WSRPSessionRelease.. which is causing the problem.
When we upgraded from EP 6.0 to NW 2004, users started recieving the Netweaver Login Screen when they logged out and logged back in, in the same browser. We think this error occurs because NW 2004 implements Web Services Remote Portal functionality.
We are using SiteMinder as a third party session management tool.
What we found was that the Siteminder session was being killed but the Portal session was not. Therefore, when users logged back in they would see the generic Netweaver Login Screen, and they could actually just hit "enter" and continue to the portal.
A successful logoff, users clicked the logoff button, the DSM terminator was being called, thus killing the portal session, then a form was submitted redirecting the users the the siteminder loggoff page, which logs the users off siteminder.
When the logoff failed, we found that after the DSM Terminator was called
and before the page was being redirected, a portal component
(WSRPSessionRelease) was being called, which in turn, RECREATED the portal session. So the user never actually gets logged off from the portal.
We found that the WSRPSessionRelease component is set to
a "browser" "unload" event when the portallauncher.default component is first loaded. This is the same component that is being called when the user clicks the "X" to force close the browser.
Not everytime is the WSRPSessionRelase component being called before the redirect to the siteminder logg off page. Sometimes this component is called after the redirect, and we find that this is a successful loggoff.
The component is:
irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.wsrp.coreconsumer.WSRPSessionRelease

Hello Michael,
The 'log off' issue is a known issue with Portal since EP 6
Had faced similar issue and SAP suggests to redirect the 'log off' link to another non-SAP site...like your company intranet site.
This will help the session to break.
There are 1-2 SAP Notes on this as well.
Hope this helps.

Ritu

I deleted my saved sessions in session manager in error. Can I recover these in any way?

As above

*http://sessionmanager.mozdev.org/documentation.html
There is an option to have Session Manager automatically back up your current browsing session at browser shutdown, ask you if you want to save or never save. By default it backs up the ten previous browsing sessions and crashes (deleting older ones). This can be changed in the Startup and Shutdown options on the General Options page. Old sessions are only removed on browser shutdown. Restarting or recovering from a crash will not remove old sessions. Warning, the backup is made when the browser actually shut downs, so if you close the browser by "X"ing out of all the windows, only the last window will be saved. If you want to save the last session, use the File->Exit command or better yet manually save it or use the autosave feature.

I downloaded a reader file and it screwed up my Safari browser and the app opens with the Goggle Quick search which I can't get rid of

I downloaded a file to open a owners manual for a camera I needed. I had difficulty getting it down loaded and never could get the manual. I tried using my Safari browser and started getting this Goggle Quick Search file which opened in place of my Safari….I tried to close it and I can't. I did manage to get ride of the reader file.

You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
