I need to add htaccess to my site, to stop hotlinking i.e
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?davewhiteart.comindex.html [NC]
RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]
This seems to work on some browsers but on others.....the flash cannot access the files/images
I am hosting a site that has some flash in it.Now a different site is linking directly to the flash, causing massive traffic for me. The problem: I do not gain any ads which would help me pay the server bills.I thought it would be OK to redirect the direct link to the flash to the site containing it.
Flash: www.example.com/flash/1.swf
Page: www.example.com/1 (<-- redirect here!)
It probably should work with .htacess
I'm attempting to load an external SWF that's hosted on a site into a local SWF file. The external SWF is in a password-protected directory using htaccess.
Here is the code I'm currently trying to use:
var loaderUrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.my-website.com/externalFlashFile.swf");
loaderUrlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic
[Code]....
I have a site that has the main path under password protection. I also have a subfolder that have a separate (htaccess/htpasswd) password protection. For some reason, when I access the subfolder, I'm asked to put in my id/password twice. All of the files that are referenced are under the subfolder.
What should I be doing to troubleshoot this? I've tried this on different browsers and it's the same behavior. There is one main html page with a .swf (the only thing on the page)...it loads other assets but they are within the same subfolder.
Client has a flash navigation menu on his website. When the site is accessed via [URL] the hardcoded links in the flash nav load pages properly. When accessing the website via the [url] the site navigation links can not load the proper pages and instead just redirect the user to the root domain.
I assume this can be fixed with a change to the .htaccess but I do not know how flash handles these links.
.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

I can't get a RewriteRule to work. I have a PHP page with a flash object embedded in it. What I would like to is to write a rule in order to achieve this:URL...and all the parameters to the flash object (in the query string, if available) should also be "copied" by the RewriteRule:[code]
View 1 Repliescan I make role based authorization when sending requests to an ASP.NET MVC backend system. I am calling action methods and expecting JSON results, however, some action methods are decorated with the [Authorize] attribute, others require some role privileges to be present. I certainly hope that passing authorization data with every request is possible

View 1 RepliesI get this error when I try to run my application as a standalone SWF. In case the application is run from the Flash IDE, the application works fine.
View 5 RepliesI have to connect to a third party tool for getting authorization, the tool is called superman which my client uses. Not sure whether this is inhouse or bought. I am using Spring security for authenticating, getting user is done by providing the query externally to JDBC service. When authorization query specific to this tool is executed, I get the following error:

I have this so far.
function authcheck(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (ID_input=="447839" || Password_input=="33227") {
gotoAndStop("authgood");
} else {
gotoAndStop("authbad");
}}
logbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , authcheck);
It's probably not working because AS3 can't identify the "ID_input" input field. I have the two input fields on the stage with the instance names ID_input and Password_input.
I have an air app and I want to add proxy-authorization header whenever my client is behind a proxy. I am adding 'proxy-Authoriztion' header in urlRequest headers but still I am getting the OS prompt for username/password.

Are there any differences implementing Flex application security in a clustered Java environment (such as Oracle Application Server/OC4J or a JBoss cluster) vs a single application server environment? (And/or does it depend on the specific environment software?)
What considerations are there in a situation where you need to authenticate with LDAP (AD) and store user access information in a database (ex. USER table containing username + permissions/roles info)? Any differences between Blaze DS and Granite DS?
I have an application that is coded using Flex 3 on UI side and java @ the service layer, along with BlazeDS. Now we need to authorize the users accessing the system based on the roles that are defined for them in the database, e.g. : say a user with role guest should not be able to access Admin tab on ui and also should not be able to do any operations other than viewing the data displayed on dashboard. Also the point to note here is that roles can be created dynamically by Super users from UI. I came across this link which describes how to perform Role Based Authentication & Authorization. With this approach I need to define the roles in service-config.xml but since my roles are not pre-defined I cannot go with this.

View 1 RepliesAuthentication is performed with Basic auth over SSL (although the password inside the basic auth is SHA-2'ed). The issue is that using basic authentication for the Flash client is causing the standard browser log-in box to appear because of "WWW-Authentication: Basic" in the header. Flash is unable to bypass this by manually setting the Authorization header prior to the request.Other clients need to be able to authenticate via the existing mechanisms, so rewriting the authentication logic would not be ideal.
I have the idea that the authorization headers sent to and received from flash client could be dynamically rewritten to use another name for Basic auth which would cause the browser not to understand the auth mechanism and not present the dialog box. Authentication headers to and from Tomcat could be rewritten from "WWW-Authenticate: Basic" to "WWW-Authenticate: PretendBasic" but ideally the built in container security could still handle the basic auth after the rewrite.
I wrote a filter to rewrite inbound headers as "WWW-Authenticate: PretendBasic" as "WWW-Authenticate: Basic" hoping the next filter chain would be auth and the request would be handled as normal. Unfortunately the Servlet specification states that a filter cannot be inserted prior to authentication. I think the only possibility of this working is to create a stackable JAAS authentication module that would first perform a header rewrite on requests if coming from the Flash client, and then pass authentication through to the existing container managed security systems.
I am trying to access html files protected by basic authentication. Below is the code to do that but I still get the authentication dialog. I checked the fiddler and found that for the first request authorization header is present but for the subsequent requests which is requested to load the .js, css & images the authorization header is not added. This is the reason I am getting the auth dialog.
Is there a way to add authorization header to the subsequent requests as well?

I've created a flash with an RSS feed inside it, I've seen it work on other websites but it won't work when I upload it to my server.

View 1 Repliespull some simple text from an external website's RSS feed into a basic text box in a Flash movie. It would need to be in AS2 to fit with the website. The RSS feed is on a PHP page: [URL]
I understand I need to pull the content via an xml / php page under my own domain in order to get around the Flash security, but I still can't scrape together the right code for it to work.
I have a few projects that are coming up at work where I will have to take a feed given to us and grab and display titles for example and pictures. I was able to do this in AS2 but I now need to do it in AS3 now and I don't have the time to dig in and figure it out. I would be willing to pay someone to display one of the images and one of the headlines in the example feed below. I think I can learn the rest, but there is a good chance I might need some more help and I would be willing to pay for that also. So basically I need a small script and a file that displays the info. Can you guys throw some offers my way here or at my email:
Note: If you use Firefox the feed will display and you can see where you would need to traverse this feed to get a headline and a pic
I am trying to load a news feed in xml. It works fine when I run it in flash by clicking ctrl + enter but when I load the .swf in the browser or try to load the .html in the browser I get a Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation:

I made this BlogFeed.swf file. Everything works just fine in Flash IDE. It loads the XML, renders it, displays fine and that's it: the world is filled with love and data.
The problem occurs when I try to use my swf online.
Here's the scenario:
SERVER A (Altervista)
hosts the swf file, trying to read the RSS Feed from...
SERVER B (my client's server)
serves the RSS Feed of his blog
[ things I already tryed ]
1) I wrote a crossdomain.xml file (allowing SERVER B domain to access the swf), place it at the same level of the swf file on SERVER A;
2) Set System.security.allowInsecureDomain("*") in the flash file
3) checked on both servers the server-to-server permissions (Altervista lets you do this via its own control panel; the client's server needed me to email the support: did it and they allowed me to connect)
4) moved the swf on ANOTHER server, on which I am completely sure that server-to-server communications are allowed, since I already did something like that.
Nothing changes: always getting the damn HTTPStatus = 0 and no items are shown.
What I really don't understand is why it does work from Flash IDE connecting to SERVER B and it fails (with NO IOError and HTTPStatus = 0, so no debug hints at all...) when I use it in server-to-server mode.
