How to change users in TortoiseSVN

I was setting up another user to use our SVN repository. He didn't have a username/password, so I logged in with my credentials. We now have a username/password for him.

How do I get TortoiseSVN to logout and forget the old password so I can enter the new username/password?

Removing the remembered login and password list in SQL Management Studio

I've recently used our company's spare laptop (that has a general user set up) while mine was being repaired. I've checked the "remember password" option in SQL Management studio when logging in to the database. I need to clear the login and password information that i have used to prevent the next person that will use the laptop from using my login names and passwords. How can I do this?

HTTP POST Returns The Error: 417 "Expectation Failed." (C#)

I'm trying to login to a website using HTTP POST. I'm sure the website only requires two POST fields: username and password; there are no hidden fields.

I keep getting the following exception when I try to read the response:

"The remote server returned an error: (417) Expectation Failed."

I've tried both HTTPWebResponse/HttpWebRequest and WebClient.

Here's an example of the code I'm using:

WebClient client = new WebClient();

NameValueCollection postData = new NameValueCollection();
postData.Add("username", "myUserName");
postData.Add("password", "myPassword");

byte[] responseBytes = client.UploadValues("URI", postData);
string response = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseBytes); // (417) Expectation Failed.

What's causing this exception?

SQL Server 2008 can't login with newly created user

I'm using using Windows Vista and I'm having trouble logging in with a newly created user.

1. I open SQL Server Management Studio.
2. I create a new Login by right-clicking on Security->Logins.
   Check: SQL Server Authentication
   Login name: tester
   Password: test
   Click OK
3. I added this user to User Mapping to my database of choice.
4. Click File -> Connect Object Explorer, select SQL Server Authentication and enter tester/test and click Connect.

I get an error:

Login failed for user 'tester'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456" 
with Severity = 14 and State = 1.

What causes this error and how do I login with my user?

Configuration System Failed to Initialize

I'm new to Visual Studio. I'm currently creating a Login form.

I have this code.

string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
try
{
    using (OdbcConnection connect = new OdbcConnection(connectionString))
    {
        connect.Open();
        OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand("SELECT username, password FROM receptionist", connect);
        OdbcDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

        if (username_login.Text == username && password_login.Text == password)
        {
            this.Hide();
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid User", "Login Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
            this.Close();
        }
        else 
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid User", "Login Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
        connect.Close();
    }
}
catch (OdbcException ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}

But whenever I try to type in the username and password there is an error called Configuration system failed to initialize. I'm just wondering what kind of problem is this and how could I solve this?

Please help.

Best practices for Storyboard login screen, handling clearing of data upon logout

I'm building an iOS app using a Storyboard. The root view controller is a Tab Bar Controller. I'm creating the login/logout process, and it's mostly working fine, but I've got a few issues. I need to know the BEST way to set all this up.

I want to accomplish the following:

1. Show a login screen the first time the app is launched. When they login, go to the first tab of the Tab Bar Controller.
2. Any time they launch the app after that, check if they are logged in, and skip straight to the first tab of the root Tab Bar Controller.
3. When they manually click a logout button, show the login screen, and clear all the data from the view controllers.

What I've done so far is set the root view controller to the Tab Bar Controller, and created a custom segue to my Login view controller. Inside my Tab Bar Controller class, I check whether they are logged in inside the viewDidAppear method, and a perform the segue: [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"pushLogin" sender:self];

I also setup a notification for when the logout action needs to be performed: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(logoutAccount) name:@"logoutAccount" object:nil];

Upon logout, I clear the credentials from the Keychain, run [self setSelectedIndex:0] and perform the segue to show the login view controller again.

This all works fine, but I'm wondering: should this logic be in the AppDelegate? I also have two issues:

• The first time they launch the app, the Tab Bar Controller shows briefly before the segue is performed. I've tried moving the code to viewWillAppear but the segue will not work that early.
• When they logout, all the data is still inside all the view controllers. If they login to a new account, the old account data is still displayed until they refresh. I need a way to clear this easily on logout.

I'm open to reworking this. I've considered making the login screen the root view controller, or creating a navigation controller in the AppDelegate to handle everything... I'm just not sure what the best method is at this point.

Running script upon login mac [closed]

I am wondering if anyone is able to help me out with getting a .sh file to run when I log in to my account on my computer. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.7.

I have a file "Example.sh" that I want to run when I log onto my computer. I do not have a problem running it when I am already logged in, but I want this to run automatically.

People are saying to add it to the login shell file, but I do not know where that is. Some help please. Thanks in advance

SHA1 vs md5 vs SHA256: which to use for a PHP login?

I'm making a php login, and I'm trying to decide whether to use SHA1 or Md5, or SHA256 which I read about in another stackoverflow article. Are any of them more secure than others? For SHA1/256, do I still use a salt?

Also, is this a secure way to store the password as a hash in mysql?

function createSalt()
{
    $string = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
    return substr($string, 0, 3);
}

$salt = createSalt();

$hash = sha1($salt . $hash);

How can I get browser to prompt to save password?

Hey, I'm working on a web app that has a login dialog that works like this:

1. User clicks "login"
2. Login form HTML is loaded with AJAX and displayed in DIV on page
3. User enters user/pass in fields and clicks submit. It's NOT a <form> -- user/pass are submitted via AJAX
4. If user/pass are okay, page reloads with user logged in.
5. If user/pass are bad, page does NOT reload but error message appears in DIV and user gets to try again.

Here's the problem: the browser never offers the usual "Save this password? Yes / Never / Not Now" prompt that it does for other sites.

I tried wrapping the <div> in <form> tags with "autocomplete='on'" but that made no difference.

Is it possible to get the browser to offer to store the password without a major rework of my login flow?

thanks Eric

p.s. to add to my question, I'm definitely working with browers that store passwords, and I've never clicked "never for this site" ...this is a technical issue with the browser not detecting that it's a login form, not operator error :-)

AngularJS: Basic example to use authentication in Single Page Application

I am new to AngularJS and gone through their tutorial and got a feel for it.

I have a backend for my project ready where each of the REST endpoints needs to be authenticated.

What I want to do
a.) I want to have a single page for my project http://myproject.com.
b.) Once a user hits the URL in browser, based on if user is logged in or not, he is presented with a home page/view or login page/view under the same url http://myproject.com.
c.) if a user is not logged in, it fills out the form and server sets a USER_TOKEN in session, so all further requests to endpoints will be authenticated based on USER_TOKEN

My Confusions
a.) How can I handle client-side authentication using AngularJS? I saw here and here but did not understand how to use them
b.) How can I present different views to user based on if user is logged in or not under same url http://myproject.com

I am using angular.js for the very first time and really getting confused as to how to start. Any advices and/or resources are very much appreciated.

How do I implement login in a RESTful web service?

I am building a web application with a services layer. The services layer is going to be built using a RESTful design. The thinking is that some time in the future we may build other applications (iPhone, Android, etc.) that use the same services layer as the web application. My question is this - how do I implement login? I think I am having trouble moving from a more traditional verb based design to a resource based design. If I was building this with SOAP I would probably have a method called Login. In REST I should have a resource. I am having difficulty understanding how I should construct my URI for a login. Should it be something like this:

http://myservice/{username}?p={password}

EDIT: The front end web application uses the traditional ASP.NET framework for authentication. However at some point in the authentication process I need to validate the supplied credentials. In a traditional web application I would do a database lookup. But in this scenario I am calling a service instead of doing a database lookup. So I need something in the service that will validate the supplied credentials. And in addition to validating the supplied credentials I probably also need some sort of information about the user after they have successfully authenticated - things like their full name, their ID, etc. I hope this makes the question clearer.

Or am I not thinking about this the right way? I feel like I am having difficulty describing my question correctly.

C# Login to Website via program

I'm relatively new to using C#, and have an application that reads parts of the source code on a website. That all works; but the problem is that the page in question requires the user to be logged in to access this source code. What my program needs a way to initially log the user into the website- after that is done, I'll be able to access and read the source code.

The website that needs to be logged into is: mmoinn.com/index.do?PageModule=UsersLogin

I've searched for the entire day about how to do this and tried examples, but have had no luck.

Thanks in advance

ASP.NET MVC Login ReturnUrl always NULL?

Using Forms Authentication in ASP.NET MVC when trying to log back into a site, it puts a ReturnUrl parameter in the query string. My Logon action method accepts a "returnUrl" string. However it seems that returnUrl string is always null, even when it is clearly in the query string. Any thoughts on why this might be the case or a possible fix?

How do i implement ‘sign in with google’ on my site?

On my site I would like to allow users to sign in with a google account. I plan to use openid but I would like to allow signing in with google because it has more benefits. I've noticed in the past a few sites that have the ability to sign in with a google (gmail) account and IIRC though they did NOT support openID (but I could be wrong).

How do I implement 'sign in with google' ?

How does browser know when to prompt user to save password?

This is related to the question I asked here: How can I get browser to prompt to save password?

This is the problem: I CAN'T get my browser to prompt me to save the password for the site I'm developing. (I'm talking about the bar that appears sometimes when you submit a form on Firefox, that says "Remember the password for yoursite.com? Yes / Not now / Never")

This is super frustrating because this feature of Firefox (and most other modern browsers, which I hope work in a similar fashion) seems to be a mystery. It's like a magic trick the browser does, where it looks at your code, or what you submit, or something, and if it "looks" like a login form with a username (or email address) field and a password field, it offers to save.

Except in this case, where it's not offering my users that option after they use my login form, and it's making me nuts. :-)

(I checked my Firefox settings-- I have NOT told the browser "never" for this site. It should be prompting.)

My question

What are the heuristics that Firefox uses to know when it should prompt the user to save? This shouldn't be too difficult to answer, since it's right there in the Mozilla source (I don't know where to look or else I'd try to dig it out myself). I've also had no luck finding a blog post or some other similar developer note from the Mozilla developers about this.

(I would be fine with this question being answered for Safari or IE; I would imagine that all the browsers user very similar rules, so if I can get it working in one of them, it will work in the others.)

(* Note that if your answer to me has anything to do with cookies, encryption or anything else that is about how I'm storing passwords in my local database, odds are strong that you have misunderstood my question. :-)
