View 5 RepliesI 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'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8[code]....
The result is a blank page instead of response from server.
I have Basic Authorization mechanism on the server for WSDL/SOAP. How I can send "Authorization" header through Flex WebService?
Simplified example:
var ws:WebService = new WebService();
ws.wsdl = "http://localhost:8000/api/service.wsdl"
var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.insertNewLines = false;

How do I add my own request header to the POST requests generated by FileReference.upload()?
I'm working on a project built in Flash AS2.One of the things I need to do is load JSON data. In the past, I've had no problem with this - LoadVars works just fine.However, on this project, the JSON service that I'm calling requires the http request to include an ACCEPT header with "application/json".
LoadVars has an addRequestHeader method that allows me to add or change HTTP request headers, but according to the documentation, those headers are only sent with POST actions.Of course, in my case, the JSON service only allows GET requests.I tried using addRequestHeader anyway, but the header is not sent.(Of course, I could rebuild the application using AS3, which allows me to use URLLoader and URLRequest, but the application has WAY to much legacy AS2 code...)
I have a script, either through Greasemonkey or as a Chrome extension, on a page that contains a Flash application. That flash application sends out POST requests e.g. [URL].
Is it possible for the script running on that same page to capture the request header sent by the Flash code? Kind of like Tamper Data, Fiddler and the like do. EDIT: Just a little more info. I don't need to redirect or alter the request coming from the Flash application. I just to be able to read in the header and save that information in a variable in the user script / extension that is running on the same page.
I'm trying to insert a HTTP header into the request that is made when a .SWF requests a .FLV movie via the flvplayback object. Here's my scenario.
We are using Akamai to distribute our flash video so it loads faster. Our current set up involvels 4 primary components:
1. HTML sitting on our corporate webservers.
2. SWF being served by the Akamai servers.
3. FLV file being served by the Akamai servers.
4. flvplayback skin (SWF file) being hosted by the Akamai servers.
When the HTML file loads into the browser, it requests the SWF, which then loads the flvplayback skin and FLV video. This whole process works until you add security to the mix. We have referer security, which means that that Akamai-hosted files won't load unless the requesting domain is one of our corporate domains. The referer is usually passed over in the HTML header, so the HTML file can successfully request and load the SWF from the Akamai servers. However, when the SWF then requests the skin and FLV file, they don't load because the referer header isn't passed over in this request.
How do I insert the referer header into the SWF request for the FLV and flvplayback skin? I'm assuming this needs to be done from within the flvplayback instance in my SWF file, but I don't know how to reference that. I tried the following, but it didn't seem to work:
myFlvPlayback.URLRequestHeader("Referer", "http://mycorporatedomain.com/requestingpage.html");
When Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.
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

I 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've made a header with navigation for my site. I have an html file that the header is inserted into, and I inserted it just like I always have using Dreamweaver.

I have buttons in my header and the header has animations on it so I have no choice but to place the buttons deep inside the header movieclip. Now, the problem is that the actionscript on the main timeline can't access the buttons.
Here is a sample of my actionscript:
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
If I place the button on the main time line. I get no errors. But when I place the button deep inside the header, I can't seem to access it.I checked the layers and it indicated "Scene 1", "Header2", "Header", and at the very end of that are the buttons so I tried doing this:
Scene1.Header2.Header.about.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, clickSection);
I obviously failed.
I am trying to create a header with a menu bar that will be embedded at the top of each page of the site. I have it looking like I want it, but I am having trouble making it do what I want it to do. I have three text areas that I have made into movie clips. I want them to "fade in" one after the other, then stop with all three visible, then wait for a click on the menu bar. I can make them fade in, but not stop. I have tried several different things, but no success.
