Strange problem with cookies with "popup" Safari

Hello,
i'm using the latest 4.3.5 iOS.
The problem is related with "popup" browser which appears when i connect to a public wifi which requires authentication.
It seems that the popup browser cannot access the cookies of the normal browser or can only access it with a delay which is very strange.
Here is the problem:
i'm using a "Remember Me" functionality for the hospot login. When the user logs in a new cookie has been created with a username, serial and token. One token can be used just one time, and once it has been used, a new token is created for the same serial for the user. These are also stored in a database. (this is the implementation: http://jaspan.com/improved_persistent_login_cookie_best_practice)
When i log in with this "popup" browser, the login generates a cookie.
I'm starting using the web and log out, then click on log in within the normal browser. I print the cookies and they are not there (which i created earlier with the "popup" browser). So the creditentials are not filled in and when i log in it creates an other cookie for it with a new token.
So we have two cookies now for the same user with two different serials as if the user used two different browsers, which are not that bad, but here is a problem.
After a while i log out from the normal browser, disconnect from the wifi and connect again. The "popup" browser pops up again and when i print the cookies, it is the same as i generated with the normal browser! So it seems they are the same browser now, or the cookies were copied from the normal browser to the "popup" browser!
And the worst problem is that when i log in with the "popup" browser a new token is created, but when i go again to the normal browser, log out then click on log in, the token is the old token becuase the "popup" browser didn't change the normal browser's cookies.
But the database now consists the new token, so the remember me function will not work and in fact this is the same behavior when someone steal the cookie and log in with it while the original use still has the old cookie.
This is a bug i think or i just understand how these two browsers are working, they are different but they sync sometimes???
Please help because i am going crazy about this.

Similar problem appears under Lion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3341970
But there the "popup" safari ignores all cookies.

  • Strange problem on CSS with MS Terminal Server

    I have a strange problem on my CSS. I suspect that this started when we upgrade from 7.30 to 7.50.
    We have 2 CSS in an box to box redundandcy. The front end is connected to VLAN 1 the usernetwork. The backend is connected to several different VLAN, each for a different purpose. One VLAN has 6 MS terminal servers. The problem that we have now is that remote sites (so sites connected via a MPLS WAN) cannot setup a terminal server session via the VIP of te Service. The users on the LAN can reach the terminal server via the VIP. The remote users can reach the individual TS by going directly to the TS but this is not why we have a CSS.
    Does anyone have encounterd this problem and how was it fixed?
    Thanks,
    Attached the config of the CSS.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong in your config.
    It is also a very straghtforward setup, so there is no reason why it should not work.
    Could you capture a 'sho summary' and verify if you have any hit on the corresponding content rule.
    Capture a 'sho serv summary' and verify your term server are up.
    Capture a sniffer trace front-end and back-end while trying to connect and see if the traffic is correct forwarded.

  • Strange problem in syncing with iPhoto

    Hi All.
    LOVING my iPhone, but a weird thing is happening when I sync photos. I have a million on iPhoto and only wanted to take about 50 over to my iPhone (for mainly wallpaper, phone contact purposes. So, I created an "iPhone" folder within iTunes, checked to only sync from that folder and synced. Now, when I hit the photos button I get:
    Camera Roll (7)
    Photo Library (49)
    iPhone (49)
    The Photo Library and iPhone folders contain the same photos. Why is it duplicating?

    I can not offer a solution but I will share that I have found that Outlook 2013 (64 bit) on Windows 8.1 can not be synchronized with my Z10 using Link.  Link only provides the option to sync from the Windows calendar & contacts but not Outlook 2013 (installed version).  I have made numerous inquiries on the forums which largely go unanswered. 
    I bought an application called PC Outlook Sync but it does not work at all. Now trying to get my money back.
    It may well be that Blackberry will only support current and future versions of Outlook that are on Exchange servers and not on individual computers. i have read where there may be some way to employ the online version of Office to synchronize but I am not comfortable with that.  No security at all when one's stuff goes into the cloud.

  • Very strange problem on C4580 ( with photo showing problem)

    i have a hp photosmart c4580 brought in hong kong and ir broken down
    the wireless is unable to detech any network
    i phoned the local support department for a week and they cannot give a complete solution 
    the picture show the sign of wireless network what does this mean ??? HELP!
    i cannot restore factory default or reset the wireless setting 
    can i store everything to the condition that i just bought it without any wireless setting and memory

    The input impedance of these boards is so high the inputs act as little capacitors that store a bit of the previous channels' charge. If you connect the open channels to ground, you will see a voltage very near zero.
    I believe there's a knowledge base article about this somewhere.

  • Is there a problem with the cookie settings in Safari 6?

    Hoping someone can help me... I run a Shopify ecommerce store and am getting inundated with Safari customers complaining about their shopping carts being emptied before they have completed their shopping.  Shopify have washed their hands of the problem, claiming that it is the cookie settings in Safari.  This has never happened before (I have Safari 5 on my Mac and it works perfectly fine). Shopify has told me I need to tell all my customers to change their cookie settings which is mission impossible - most of them wouldn't even know what cookies are let alone be willing to start playing around with their settings.  And what about all the customers I'm losing who aren't complaining to me?  Those who are just getting peeved off with my webstore not working and shopping elsewhere? Please tell me this is a bug that Safari are working on?  I'm pretty lost as to what I can do to fix the problem? 

    Hi Andy, I do have my own domain name - organicexpress.co.nz
    I can't see any links for yoursitename.myshopify.com/somepage though, they seem to all be organicexpress.co.nz/somepage however when I first set up my shopify site it was organic-express.myshopify.com. I thought it might be the cart page still set at the shopify domain but it doesn't seem to be.
    The thing that is puzzling me most is that this problem only began happening about 4-5 weeks ago.  Prior to that, my regular customers who use Safari weren't having any problems.  Another thing too, sometimes it does work - perhaps if the customer completes their order under a certain time frame or perhaps only purchases a few items?  Most of my customers buy 15+ items per order.

  • Strange Problem in dynamically list population with record group

    Hello Room,
    I am dynamically populating a single list with 2 record groups. I am having a strange problem. All the code are written in 2 seperate buttons. The code of every button is given below.
    Button 1 code:-
    DECLARE
    rg_reports RECORDGROUP;
    rg_name VARCHAR2(40) := 'REPORTS';
    vTemp NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    -- Pls make sure Group doesn't already exist
    rg_reports := FIND_GROUP(rg_name);
    -- If it doesn't exist then create it and add ur query to it
    IF Id_Null (rg_reports) THEN
    rg_reports:=CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(rg_name , 'SELECT companyname,to_char(co) from companymaster order by companyname');
    end if;
    --Populate the Record Group
    vTemp:=POPULATE_GROUP(rg_reports);
    POPULATE_LIST('REPORTS.EXAMPLELIST', rg_name);
    Delete_Group( rg_reports );
    END;
    Button 2 Code:-
    DECLARE
    rg_reports RECORDGROUP;
    rg_name VARCHAR2(40) := 'REPORTS';
    vTemp NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    -- Pls make sure Group doesn't already exist
    rg_reports := FIND_GROUP(rg_name);
    -- If it doesn't exist then create it and add ur query to it
    IF Id_Null (rg_reports) THEN
    rg_reports:=CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(rg_name , 'SELECT accountname,to_char(co) from accountmaster order by accountname');
    end if;
    --Populate the Record Group
    vTemp:=POPULATE_GROUP(rg_reports);
    POPULATE_LIST('REPORTS.EXAMPLELIST', rg_name);
    Delete_Group( rg_reports );
    END;
    The code is same here only the sql is different in these 2 buttons. Now the problem point.
    when i press button 1, I get the list populated ok. when i try to click on the list item and keep the button pressed the list gets scrolled properly.
    when i press button 2 after that i get account names well populated in the same list item as well, but this time, when i keep the button pressed the list does not scroll below as in button 1. It does not even allow to select different item from the list of button 2 code.
    I tried to clear cache, cookies, exit browser everything and try to run the button 2 first, but still the problem in button 2 code.
    Following are my system details.
    windows 7 professional edition.
    Oracle database 11g on windows 7
    Oracle forms 10g patchset 10.1.2.0.2 on windows 7
    Browser Netscape Navigator with oracle jinitiator 1.3.1.22
    But this form is run by a client side html file where oracle forms 10g is not installed on windows xp. html file is just referring server url to run the module. The file is run on Netscape navigator browser with oracle jinitiator 1.3.1.22
    My question is that is this a bug ? if button 1 gets the list item scrolled, why is the problem with button 2 even though i press it first. Here I am deleting the record group also. after the code is over. Initially I thought this may be the character length problem so I took the maximum character length for that list item as given by the 2 columns in database.
    Why is the list scrolling not happening in button 2 but in button 1 with same codes on both ?
    Anybody please help me.

    The problem is the second query. I would guess that the TO_CHAR(co) is not unique for each account, but is the same for the accounts. And as the second item in the select-list is the listitems values, all your listitem-entries have the same value. therefore, of you select any entry, the list will always go the the first entry again.
    Adjust your query.

  • Strange problem with desktop

    Hi, I have a very strange problem with desktops and dashboards something else. For example, when I am on desktop 2 and i go to desktop 1, when I click with the mouse on it, it goes again to desktop 2. or when I am on desktop 1 and I go to ddashboard, it returns again to desktop 1 when i click to something in the dashboard.
    but, if i am on desktop 3, and i go to desktop 1 throguh desktop 2, there is no problem. the same if i go from desktop 2 to dashboard.
    I hope i've been clear enough to let you understand this... explanation =P
    Anyone can help?

    My system has started "freezing". Actually, usually when I'm browsing the net, Chromium stops loading pages. Conky stops updating, and usually I can't switch to another programs. I can't start xkill from menu, menu opens but nothing starts. If I run "ls" etc in Terminal, nothing happens
    I can however control+alt+F1 to CLI, but if I try to login nothing happens.If doesn't help even if I kill X (I started it with startx). And if I don't kill X, I can't go back from CLI with control+alt+F7, there's just a black screen.
    I'm using Nvidia drivers also, and XFCE4. This started happening some time ago, I think I was using Gnome2 back then. And I have updated my system, and this has happened at least with 3 kernel versions. There's nothing on logs. Well, actually, there's "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 6881. Sending cookies" errors on everything.log. But those don't happen when system freezes. And sometimes Chromium stops loading pages but other programs don't freeze, I think it's a problem with cache or something.
    Not really sure if this everything happens because of Chromium. I think I'm gonna switch back to Firefox and see what happens. Usually I'm running Chromium, Opera (use it just for a couple of pages), couple of Terminals and Kaffeine.

  • Strange problem with my G5

    I started experiencing a strange problem today. When I came home I found that my G5 (which was left on) was no longer connected to the internet and that I could not get it to connect. I restarted, and that's when things got weird. After I logged in the Finder wouldn't launch properly. It would just hang. When I did a "Force Quit (Re-launch)" on the Finder then the rest of my start-up applications attempted to launch. They'd all get stuck too. So I did "Force Quit" on each of those (Mail, AIM, ICal). Finder would again hang on startup, but after several minutes the Finder would eventually launch.
    The problem that remains is that I cannot connect to the internet. I don't think that it's a problem with my service. I've got all the appropriate lights on my cable modem. Plus, Safari isn't "timing out," it just continues to search for the site.
    Ive tried re-starting twice and I have to go through this same procedure just to get any functionality out of the computer. And then I still cannot connect to the internet. I seem to have complete functionality otherwise.
    Does anybody have any idea as to what could cause this? The only thing I can think of that has changed recently is that I updated Flash today. Big deal. I'm baffled.
    Any help is appreciated.
    -Mark

    Mark, just a guess here. You might try running the Apple Hardware test on your G5, particularly the memory test. Over the past month I have had quite a few wierd things happening with my work G5; apps not running correctly, finder quits, unable to connect to other computers etc… I reinstalled the OS twice before I decided the try this (my last recourse) and the test found a bad memory chip. Since the OS is dependent on a lot of little files on the hard drive to manage memory (to my understanding) this was causing all my flakiness. Since the last install of my OS had been under these conditions I was forced to reinstall again, but since then no problems. And if the test it negative, at least you have eliminated hardware as the problem.

  • Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

    I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
    I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
    Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
    Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

  • Strange problem with Zen Style 300

    I got a Zen Style 300 for my birthday and it is given me some problems. I tried looking at this forum and on google, but so far haven't found anything like it. What happens is that during the sync process, some folders on my portable harddisk (which is where the music is located) get renamed into names with strange symbols and become unreadable. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen with all files and just as strange is that it does happen with files not related to the sync that are located in a completely different folder. You can imagine I got quite scared the first time, afraid of having lost my music collection, but on restart everything was fine again. Until I plugged in the ZEN again that is.
    My second problem is probably related to it. Part of the files transfered to the player don't show up when I try to listen to them with the player. When I check they have been copied to the player correctly, yet somehow they don't show up.
    I have Windows XP and tried syncing with the standard Creative software, MediaMonkey and iTunes but they all face the same problem. Although with the second problem it might happen that files copied one way don't show up, while the same files transfered with a different program do. All 3 cause the problem with my harddisk. I tried formatting the player and updating it. So anyone has any idea what might cause this?

    I have a similar problem. It recognized and paired with a Sony Ericsson MW600 Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset once. I lost connection, could no longer connect, and tried to re-pair it. Now it recognizes the the headset's name (MW600), but when you try to pair with it stays on a "Please wait..." message. It will stay that way forever until I press the back (left) arrow. Then the message says "Remote Device not responding" and pairing fails. This MW600 headset pairs with other devices (cell phone, PC) just fine, though, so it's not malfunctioning.
    I suspect this might be a Bluetooth version compatibility issue? I say that because when I connect to a Jawbone Era (pretty new device, probably latest Bluetooth spec), everything goes fine.
    Also, if I clear all devices, then try to pair to just the Sony Ericsson MW600, I can get the M300 in a state where it hangs and will not respond to anything. I then have to press the reset button using a paperclip to start over.

  • Strange problems with Windows 7 running on Bootcamp

    Hi there. I have just installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp on my Macbook with Leopard. I have a few strange problems and just wanted to see if I could gain any help or see if anyone else is experiencing these problems. Apart from those, its running great :P
    Main one is when I close the macbook shut, then open it back up the screen stays black, i can hear it open back up but its like it just stays in Sleep mode. I then need to hold down the power button and switch it back on.
    Secondly when I use the down, up left or right arrow button to scroll down in the respective direction the cursor is moving around like it would on a word document. It will scroll down eventually but only becuase the cursor has reached the end of the page.
    Thanks for your time and I really hope someone can shed some light.

    Hey, I'm having this issue too, however I also get freezes while the screen is still on, or while the screen power saves, and will not resume.
    The computer stays on, and warm, meaning it never powers off, nor realizes its hung-up, and the only way to get back to work is a hard shutdown and reboot.
    Details are below, and x64 Win 7 MSDNAA RTM Build 7600 - 4gb of Corsair 4-4-4-12 2x2 ram.
    I have already gotten the newest commercial nVidea drivers and I am running RivaTuner with appropriate settings, and I have disabled the Wired NIC, and turned off the wireless NIC power-saving settings.

  • Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

    Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
    I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
    I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
    Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.

  • Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Here`s the screenshot.
    But anyway:
    The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
    So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
    If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

  • Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
    What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
    I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
    Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes  while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
