passwords

I'm trying to make an HTTP Post with HTTP Basic Authentication (cleartext username and password), using POCO. I found an example of a Get and have tried to modify it, but being a rookie I think I've mangled it beyond usefulness. Anyone know how to do this? Yes, I've already seen the other SO question on this: POCO C++ - NET SSL - how to POST HTTPS request , but I can't make sense of how it is trying to implement the username and password part. I also don't understand the use of "x-www-form-urlencoded". Is this required for a Post? I don't have a form. Just want to POST to the server with

Greetings, I am setting up a pretty standard registration form with password field. The problem is, after a failed submission (due to empty field, incorrect format etc), the controller reloads the registration page, but with the password field containing the hashed value of the previously entered password. How do I make it empty after each failed submission? View: echo $form->password('Vendor.password', array('class' => 'text-input')); Controller: Security::setHash('sha1'); $this->Auth->sessionKey = 'Member'; $this->Auth->fields = array( 'username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password' ); Help

I can't get rid of unwanted placeholder (or watermark) on password textbox. When password textbox is focused, Android web browser displays placeholder overtaken from associated label element, like this: HTML source: <form method="post"> <label for="userName">Login name:</label> <input id="userName" name="userName" type="text" value="" /> <label for="password">Password:</label> <input id="password" name="password" type="password" /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Log In" /> </form> Note: Placeholder is displayed only when the textbox has focus and is empty. When using

I am pretty much weak in creating Regular Expression. So i am here. I need a regular expression satisfying the following. Atleast one numeric value and Atleast one alphabet should be present for the password Minimum 6 Maximum 32 characters should be allowed. Thanks -(BOOL) isPasswordValid:(NSString *)pwd { if ( [pwd length]<6 || [pwd length]>32 ) return NO; // too long or too short NSRange rang; rang = [pwd rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[NSCharacterSet letterCharacterSet]]; if ( !rang.length ) return NO; // no letter rang = [pwd rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]]; if

Given the dangers of SUID shell scripts , is there a more secure way of giving passwordless access to scripts (bash, PHP) with root permissions in Linux? (Ubuntu 8.10) You could consider sudo . Although not 'passwordless', it doesn't require the user to be given the root password. It can also provide an audit trail of use of the script. edit: as per comment from Chris, there is an option not to require a password at all for certain commands, see here for details. It can also be set up not to prompt excessively for the password, i.e. one entry of the password can be good for multiple commands
