Username and password setting
There are a few web sites that for some reason the menu to save username and password did not come up. Is there a way I can save these setting for certain websites?
Thanks
As Templeton says, it depends on the coding of each site.
Many bank sites, for example, removed that capability as a security measure.
What I usually do in such cases is manually add an item to my Keychain (via the Keychain Access app in Applications/Utilities), using the full or partial name or address. Then I can find it in my Keychain when needed, and it's as secure as any "real" Keychain entry.

We just purchased Crystal Reports 2008 after using version 8.0. I've been creating reports form our ERP software's VFP datbase files using 8.0. With the 2008 version of Crystal I'm prompted for a username and password when trying to access the database when first trying to set up a new report. Specifically, I try to start a new report, choose ODBC, visual foxpro database, then get prompted for the username and password. I'm doing this on my station just to test out the report and have tried my username and password with no success. Any suggestions?
What I thought was solved has instead evolved. While the access to the localized testing version of my database still doesn't require a log in, attempting to access the production database from my station does stop me at the log in prompt.
There is no username and password set up for the connection on my older install of Crystal. And I'm being prompted for the same thing when I tried opening it using OLE DB as suggested by Sastry above.
Any ideas oh great and powerful collective Oz? Toto? Anybody?

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. -
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?

Lately I have been getting a rectangular screen titled Login Setting, with my Username and Password and asking me to Login. This screen shows up on opening the computer and has never been seen before the last month or so. It has one box titled Login Credentials with a username and password field and a second box titled Login Status at the bottom where it says "Profile not found" in red. I've never seen this before and ignoring it does not effect any operations. Is this legitimate or some kind of identity fishing?
Hello,
Have you done the recent Security updates?
Is this from Sleep or on bootup?

http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

How do I set my username and Password without all the frustration or by changing my FB info??? thank you
I'm not sure about the status of that bug in 2.2.5, but it has been
resolved in our internal 2.3 builds.
I think that you can work around this problem by enumerating your
persistent types in system.prefs instead of in the data store. See our
documentation for more information on how to do this.
Basically, if I recall correctly, the problem is when retrieving the
list, but not when connecting to the data store for other purposes.

Is this bug(#76) fixed for 2.2.5? And how can we work around it?--

Setting up SafePoint on NAS, myCloud doesn't ask for username and password
I couldn't find an answer to this in the forum. I'm trying to set up a Safepoint on a Synology NAS. I have it configured so that you need a user name and password to access this share the safepoint should go to. When I try to set the Safepoint up in MyCloud it will find my NAS, but will then say "Retrieving Shares", but won't show any.I believe this is where I shoudl be asked for a username and password. Maybe the MyCloud can't see the share because I haven't eneter the credentials yet, but I don't know where else to enter them. I tried it in different browsers in case it's some sort of JavaScript problem, but it also doesn't work in other browsers either. For security reasons I'm not keen on having the share public, without user name and password. How can I create a Safepoint on my other NAS?
According to the WD My Cloud User Manual it appears that one has to select the NAS where they want to save the share first before they are possibly given a screen where they can enter in a user name and password. See Chapter 11 in particular Steps 3 and 4 under "Creating a Safepoint". Step 4 shows an example of the username/password screen. If the Synology NAS is not being detected by the WD My Cloud user interface then obviously there is either a problem with how the Synology NAS is detected on the local network or a problem with the WD My Cloud detecting specific NAS devices on the local network. It goes without saying that both devices should be on the same local network and have IP addresses in the same IP range. For example both should have IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x range. Edit to add: There are also the following relevent WD Support links:List of NAS drives validated by WD to work as a SafePoint backup for a WD NASHow to create a Safepoint backup of a WD My Cloud drive on another device Edit to add 2: Per this earlier thread that also discusses using a Synology NAS as a backup location for Safepoint, it appears you may have to enable the option "Enable Local Master Browser" in the Synology DSM before the WD My Cloud will see the Synology NAS on the local network.

How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet
Hi..
How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet in JBoss server?
Using Tomcat i can do it .(By setting roles in web.xml, and user credintails in tomcat-user.xml).
But i dont know how do it in JBOSS..
I am using Netbeans and Eclipse IDEs.. Can we do it by using them also!?
Thank uHi Raj,
You can do this by creating a Login screen for the users and check the authentication of each user in PAI i.e. PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
Store the user information in a database table and check the username and password when the user enters it.
You can display password as *** also. For this double click on input box designed for password and goto Display tab. Select Invisible in the list and check it.
CASE sy-ucomm.
WHEN 'BACK'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
WHEN <fcode for submit>.
SELECT SINGLE uname pwd
FROM <DB table>
INTO (user, pass)
WHERE username = user AND
password = passwd.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
<Go to next screen for further processing>
ELSE.
<Display Error message and exit>
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Regards,
Amit

unable to set parental controls on Itunes b/c my user name and password got rejected. How do I reset them or figure out my username and password?
This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.

How to set username and password when using Proxy class for SOCKS5?
Hi all,
I use the proxy class for SOCKS5, so need to set username and password, I don't find where can I set the value. whether the API support it.
Thanks in advance!System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");That does nothing. Remove.
System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", getProxyHost());
System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", getProxyPort());You should be setting socks.proxyHost and socks.proxyPort here.
System.setProperty("java.net.socks.username", getSOCKSUsername());
System.setProperty("java.net.socks.password", getSOCKSPassword());
Authenticator.setDefault(new ProxyAuth(getSOCKSUsername(), getSOCKSPassword()));You either need the first two lines or the third, not both. See the last link posted above.
1. After I set the value, I connect internet by proxy, how the proxy server knows the values?Because Java tells it during the SOCKS handshake.
2. In my app, I just set the values in the system properties, then JVM does remaining work? Remaining work is not concerned?Should be OK unless you have to connect to a different SOCKS proxy from the same JVM, but that kind of thing is problematic anyway due to the curious Authenticator design which is set globally, not per connection as you might expect. -

You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

my sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone). i want to set his ipad up with his own username and password. How do i do that, and can it be done without losing any of his apps, music or video?
Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID. -

Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
