Use keymgr.dll credentials for firefox proxy

I am accessing the web trough a proxy.
The thing is that since I'm logged into a domain, the domain user I have has restricted proxy access.
However, If I use a different user to log into the proxy I do get access since this user has no proxy restrictions.
I finally was able to use this different cproxy credentials by using control keymgr.dll on windows, as far as I understand it basically logs using the stored credentials when attempting to go to some site (in this case myproxy.whatever.com)
The thing is that If i use firefox to browse, it apparently attempts to use the domain user/ password when accessing to the proxy so it has restricted access.
So I can think of two solutions, but I need help so here are the questions:
Solution a).- How to force firefox to ask for authentication cedentials when accessing to the proxy?
Solution b).- How to use the keymgr.dll credentials (same way that IE does) to firefox when attempting to access proxy?
or, possible solution c).- how to and where to store proxy credentials for firefox?

Peter, the autheticated user is available from the portal request object. Get that one in your application and read from the UME all the properties you wanna get and build your web service call with it. It looks for me straight forward, what exactly is your problem?

How to use an authenticated user for a proxy call

Dear all,
I am currently working on a JEE application where the user needs to authenticate (for this I have configured the web.xml).
Now inside this application I need to do a proxy call to a PI webservice.
I would like to use the user credentials of the already logged in user in order to call the proxy.
What I don't want to do is to use a service user for the proxy call.
The code I am trying to call looks something like this:
     private IntegratedConfigurationIn getPort() throws Exception{
          IntegratedConfigurationIn port = null;
          try {
               IntegratedConfigurationInService service = null;
               service = new IntegratedConfigurationInService();
               port = (IntegratedConfigurationIn) service.getIntegratedConfigurationIn_Port();
              BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider)port;
              bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, user);
              bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);
              if (url.length() != 0)
                   bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, url);
          catch (Exception ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
          return port;
The examples I found to retrieve the userdata pointed to codes similar to this one:
public HttpServletRequest getHttpRequest() throws Exception {
          // Get runtime context
          Properties props = new Properties();
          props.put("domain", "true");
          Context initialContext = new InitialContext(props);
          ApplicationWebServiceContext wsContext = (ApplicationWebServiceContext) initialContext
                    .lookup(" /wsContext/ApplicationWebServiceContext");
          HttpServletRequest req = wsContext.getHttpServletRequest();
          return req;
com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser = com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser(getHttpRequest(), null);
          IUser ep5User = com.sapportals.wcm.util.usermanagement.WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
Now I don't know how to bring it togehter and how to use an authenticated user for the BindingProvider.
I would appreciate any hints or ideas.

Peter,
from the first screenshot, what I understood is that, you are calling an inbound PI web service that is intended to create an integrated configuration object (this is used for whole lot of other reason completely) but not actually calling a development web service.
For this, you would have to generate your client classes from the WSDL provided by the PI developer for that particular service. Once you get those client classes generated, you could used the method provided in the other screenshot to extract the user and password and call the intended web service.

Credentials for the proxy

So, people, are there any way to set the credentials for the proxy server?
I'm using E60 with v2.0618 firmware. And I wasn't able to find the way to do that. In the access point -> advanced settings dialog you can set only proxy IP address and port. And there is no way to set the credentials
More over, most applications (and surely all Nokia applications) do not recognize situations when proxy requests login/password and report a connection error.
There a re very few apps which handle it correctly (like opera/miniOpera).
Also I wonder if this was changed in v3 firmware for E60.

I've got the same deal, and apparently the internet proxy option is not available in the Safari 3 for Windows version, despite not mentioning this anywhere.
So far I've checked:
The help files (no hits on the word proxy, proxies, etc)
Under Preferences the Proxies button is grayed out.
Clicking the '?' next in the Advanced settings tabs lists
information about every other setting except for proxies
What's puzzling is that this is one of the very features touted (reason 12 of 12 reasons you'll love Safari):
"Safari also supports a variety of proxy protocols — services that help firewalls control what flows in and out of the network — including Automatic Proxy configuration, FTP Proxy, Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), Streaming Proxy (RTSP), SOCKS Proxy, and Gopher Proxy."
..apparently just not in the BETA
Apple, in the future PLEASE include a 'readme' that explains what is and is not included in the Beta. It saves all of us early adopters the pain of not being able to play with your new toys behind a proxy.

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox?

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox? Ever since I updated, my firefox browser has been crashing almost every day and it always says that the plugin container crashed, but the rest of firefox freezes up as well, so I am forced to end the process itself.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)

Firefox keeps requesting logon credentials for the proxy server, though they are eneterd in the connection settings.

Every time you go to a new page, Firefox prompts for the proxy server login credentials, this has already been entered in the Network settings in Firefox.

Hi thefrostycat,
It could also be the proxy set up on the network. There is an app for proxy settings: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lechucksoftware.proxy.proxysettings on the play store] as well as an add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/proxy-selector/?src=search Proxy Selector]
Android troubleshooting for GSM device(I do not know if your nexus is, most likely it is not): Access Point Name (APN). Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > [Your data APN] (your device's menu may differ slightly). Check the Proxy field.

How do you completely disable the installation and use of add-ons for firefox 4? Is there a config setting/file that can be changed to completely disable add-ons?

I want to completley disable the installation and/or use of add-ons in Firefox 4. I don't want anybody that logs onto either of my computers to be able to use add-ons and I can't find a way to disable it in the configuration files. I've found ways to lock down other options like updates etc. but I cannot find a way to completely disable add-ons.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use a mozilla.cfg file to lock prefs or specify default values.<br />
You can place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder to specify using mozilla.cfg.
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
To prevent users from installing software use:
<pre><nowiki> //
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled" ,false);
</nowiki></pre>

Using a Single Credentials for the Multiple Users

Hi Oracle Team ,
We are in the process of creating a Android App and communicate it to DMS for all the data to and fro .
Following this post Creating the Application User dynamically on the device , we tested the App with single credential ,
We found a Strange behavior of the App when it is tested from the two different devices with same username/pwd/url,
Usecase :
Device 1 : Added 5 records and synced . Sync successful .All data in server
Device 2 : Added 5 different records and synced . Sync Successful . No data of Device 2 in server but all the data added by Device 1 and which was in server before sync is in Device 2 .
The data added by Device 2 is missing , where it is ? , I checked the data in the $tables as well, no data ,
Is it a Snapshot issue ? , Why data is missing ? is it a defect or can't use DMS that way ?
Thanks,
Spurthi

Hi Spurthi,
This is not a reasonable use case. There are technical details to be explained, but just to clarify, the proper use case is to run one client (you can say one DMS user) on one device.
Thanks,
Winnie Hu

If I secure my browser using CISecurity's baseline for Firefox, can I copy all the ".js" files from the hardened system to another?

I own multiple systems. I have hardened one browser following the guideline provided by CISecurity. Instead of repeating all the configurations performed on that one system, can I just copy all the ".js" files from the secured system to my other systems?
The ".js" files can be modified using a text editor. Is there a way to lock down these files to prevent modification?

Dear Joel
i know two ways to prevent browser from caching your files
First : The Hard way
just add ? +Math.random() in the end of your file
Like this :
in HTML :
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
     var e = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
     var d = document.createElement("script");
     d.src = "index_edgePreload.js?"+Math.random()+"";
     d.type = "application/javascript";
     d.async = true;
     d.defer = true;
     e.parentNode.insertBefore(d,e);
</script>
instead of this Line in HTML that created by EA :
<script type="application/javascript" src="index_edgePreload.js></script>
Disadvantage : you should do this for all of files you want to prevent from caching
===================================================
Second : The easyest way
You Should have Access to .htaccess file in your Server
Open your .htaccess file and paste these codes in it :
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType application/json "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/json "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
you can type what ever type of file you want to prevent from caching in browser
Advantage : after do this in your .htaccess file all files with the type you want will not Cache in your browser
Easy is'nt it ?

Using the HTML Validator for Firefox, I have found that every page I open has errors, not just the ones I have designed; why?

Even using it on this page there are 5 errors geneated.
I am using HTML Tidy.
Is there something wrong? Am I using it incorrectly?

I checked and agree this page does not pass validation

That validator is an official w3.org validator
*http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_Consortium
* http://www.w3.org/
I suppose it could be expected these pages would pass validation. I will mark this for escalation lets see what HelpDesk's observations are on that.
I also note that ''html tidy'' appears to be a utility originating from w3.org
* http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/
As for your own problems with web design that would best be discussed elsewhere. <br />Ordinarily I would say a Mozillazine forum may be a good place to try

How to change proxy credentials in Firefox?

Hello,
One of our staff recently changed her password which is used for the proxy.
I've updated the credentials in network preferences and it seems to work fine for other browsers (Chrome and Safari) but Firefox does not seem to work.
All other settings in FF should be correct.
Can anyone tell me how to update credentials for the proxy?
Thanks in advance.
Side note: this is on a Mac

I believe changing the proxy for firefox is the same on a mac as with window. You can go to the network settings and change it from there, and I believe firefox will ask to use the settings, otherwise you can go to Settings>Options>Advanced>Network and then on the top will be place that says configure how firefox connects to the internet. Hit that settings button and you can then configure it all. At the bottom of there, there is a button that says "Do not prompt for authentication if the password is saved". I would clear that box because that is probably why her authentication isn't working. Once she has put in new authentication, it should ask if you want to update it. Thats when you can go back there and check the button to not prompt for authentication if the password is saved.
Just in case this was way to long, or didn't make sense, I have a couple screenshots. These were taken on my windows computer, not my mac but it will be the same thing.

System object with same credentials for all users?

Hi everyone
I would like to create a system object in Portal, which can be used by users in a specific group. However, I want all users to use the same credentials for this system. Is this possible?
I've tried creating systems, but they all seem to require user mapping to work correctly. Is there some way I can create a system object with the credentials as part of the object, and then just assign permissions to it as required?
Please let me know if this raises any questions.
Thanks
Stuart

i dont think it is possible to create a system object for all the users with same credentials.anyways you are trying to create system object for some users who belong to a particular group.so you need to do only one time user mapping for that group
go to user administration-search for the group-go to user mapping tab-give username and password..

Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

Hi all,
I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox. The video
is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
funy.
Here is the address:
http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
Anybody else had this problem before?

its playing in the background right now and sounds fine. Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
Is the rtc module loaded? Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck. Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.

I made the mistake of upgrading to Firefox 4 and my AI Roboform Toolbar for Firefox hasn't worked since. How do I fix it?

I have been using AI Roboform Toolbar for Firefox for months and it is full of my passwords (paid version). As soon as I upgraded to Firefox 4 Roboform stopped working. The only thing that appears on the toolbar is "Roboform Toolbar X Close". As you can imagine, this is extremely inconvenient because I mostly use passwords that are generated and impossible to remember. This problem needs fixing urgently. How can it be done? Can I downgrade to another version of Firefox?

I seem to be stuck in a loop re-installing the google toolbar for firefox, since i endup at the "agree and install" page every time i reestart firefox

On my netbook, I have used the Google Toolbar for Firefox, with its handy Bookmarks access, for several years, but it appears to have become "invisible" when I open Firefox. I tried reinstalling it, and Firefox seems to perform the download, but when I restart Firefox to complete the download, itr opens on the "Start the Download" page, and the toolbar is still nowhere in sight. What am I doing wrong?

I agree with whereitis above, I hate it when options are removed (ex: the Bookmarks side panel (Ctrl-B) button missing) etc.. Firefox's major BOLD one-liner is: CUSTIMAZATION. Now to regain this CUSTIMAZATION freedom, Firefox suggest to solve this by installing the ADDON "Classic Theme Restorer". I don't want to install any ADDON to customize Firefox! I went with Firefox because it was CUSTOMIZABLE, and that is the only reason why I went with this web browser! Now, Firefox is asking me to add an ADDON to CUSTOMIZE it. What is this?!

Ghostery add on for firefox

Do anybody have experience using this add on for firefox,is this effective tool to block unwanted pop up ads,do this effect mac performances...any advices welcome

What concerned me more was that the same companies were accessing my info on different sites, so that a profile could be built of what sites I visit, what I do when I get there, what things I search for, and, since some sites naturally require identification, who I am. Then, with all that information collected and collated (and updated day by day), it can be sold to whomever is willing to pay and used for whatever purpose the purchaser chooses. That, more and more, is, I think, becoming the business model of the internet.
Ghostery's page-long list of tracking sites is, indeed, an eye-opener, and a sad one, at that.
