credentials

How do I change the credentials used by a scheduled task using C#.NET? Someone has written a task scheduler class library on codeproject.com , it might be what your after... :) Instead of using code, you can do it using 'SCHTASKS' command, run it using System.Diagnostic.Process.Start method with the parameters required. It's easy and not much effort required. You must call RegisterTaskDefintion for the task's definition with the new username and password to change just the password. Code fragment // Add COM-Reference to "TaskScheduler 1.1 Type Library" to the project using TaskScheduler; //

I have android application that has hard coded (static string constants) credentials (user/pass) for sending emails via SMTP. The problem is that .dex file in .apk can be easily reverse-engineered and everybody can see my password. Is there a way how to secure these credentials, while i will still be able to use them in my classes? We can use "jni module" to keep 'Sensitive Hardcoded Strings' in the app. when we try to reverse engineer APK file we get lib folder and .so files in respective process-folders. which can not decrypt. I guess you can try a code obfuscator, but really that won't make

i try to make a post request, witch contains a file, the problem is, i have to use ssl and the BasicCredentialprovider. The following code works for me with normal POST requests: (url is the url, nvps is the nameValuePair) DefaultHttpClient http = new DefaultHttpClient(); SSLSocketFactory ssl = (SSLSocketFactory)http.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().getScheme( "https" ).getSocketFactory(); ssl.setHostnameVerifier( SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER ); final String username = "xxx"; final String password = "xxx"; UsernamePasswordCredentials c = new

I want to read an S3 file from my (local) machine, through Spark (pyspark, really). Now, I keep getting authentication errors like java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key must be specified as the username or password (respectively) of a s3n URL, or by setting the fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId or fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey properties (respectively). I looked everywhere here and on the web, tried many things, but apparently S3 has been changing over the last year or months, and all methods failed but one: pyspark.SparkContext().textFile("s3n://user:password@bucket/key"

I'm using the latest version of Eclipse Galileo and I have to access the web from behind a proxy. I see where I can set the internet settings to manual and specify a proxy but there's no way to specify my authentication credentials that I can see and it doesn't prompt me for them either. So I'm not able to hit any plugin update sites etc... Does anyone else have this issue or know a good workaround? Or is there a better version of Eclipse to use? Eli Acherkan In Eclipse, go to Window → Preferences → General → Network Connections. In the Active Provider combo box, choose "Manual". In the proxy

I am trying to get an access token to use the Google Play Android Developer API, and I got this far using the Google API Java Client documentation example : HttpTransport HTTP_TRANSPORT = new NetHttpTransport(); JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = new JacksonFactory(); GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder() .setTransport(HTTP_TRANSPORT) .setJsonFactory(JSON_FACTORY) .setServiceAccountId("...gserviceaccount.com") .setServiceAccountScopes("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidpublisher") .setServiceAccountPrivateKeyFromP12File(keyFile) .build(); But how do I get the access token

I am encountering the following problems trying to work through the quagmire of settings in WCF... I created a WCF client-server service using a NetTcp binding. I didn't make any changes to the security settings and when running on one machine it works very nicely. However, when I ran my client from another machine it complained that the server didn't like the security credentials that were sent. I understand now that NetTCP is "secured" by default and that my client would have been passing the wrong security details - namely the Windows user name and password (or some form of domain

The attack One possible threat model, in the context of credential storage, is an attacker which has the ability to : inspect any (user) process memory read local (user) files AFAIK, the consensus on this type of attack is that it's impossible to prevent (since the credentials must be stored in memory for the program to actually use them), but there's a couple of techniques to mitigate it: minimize the amount of time the sensitive data is stored in memory overwrite the memory as soon as the data is not needed anymore mangle the data in memory, keep moving it, and other security through
