Setting up a site with private infomation without a password?
I have multiple employees that have iphones. We all access the same website from our devices. Currently I have it set up with username and password but would like to eliminate the need to keep typing in the password every single time. Is there a way for the website cookies or something to remember the individual phone and stay logged in or something?
X.509 server and client certificates would accomplish this, and give you SSL (HTTPS) encryption as well. The steps for setup are specific to whatever webserver/clients you are using, but here's a general outline:
The server cert uniquely identifies the webserver, so the clients know that they are indeed talking to the correct server, not a man-in-the-middle attack.
The client certs uniquely identify each client to the server, again to avoid MITM. And together the server/client certs also serve to set up the public-key/private-key encryption for the connections.
I'd setup a mobile login page that requres a 4 digit PIN or something and then drops a cookie on the device. I'm not sure how deep your knowlege goes, but you could also register each devices ECID or UDID with the site so that the device itself has access to the site.
The problem is that doing something like this leaves a huge vulnerability in your process if someone loses their phone.
That's why I'd do a separate mobile login page that requires a PIN - using 4 digits as a PIN gives 10, 000 different possibilities so it's not like you will run out of original possibilities. Allowing for letters would make it up in the billions of combinations too - so it'd be might y secure. This will also make it easy to forgoe the cookies idea completely and keep everything private.
- When setting up an Apple Id and password for an iphone 5s, do you need to plug in the USB to the computer and the phone? Do you hook up USB plug to phone and computer to sync it, or do you just create the Apple ID and password?
- When's the next iPhone coming out? Any infomation I'm getting an iPhone this summer for my upgrade! But I don't know if I want to wait till the next iPhone comes out or if I should just get the iPhone 5 now. So my question is: 1. When's the next iPhone coming out (iPhone 6 or 5S?) 2. What features will it have compared to the iPhone 5 3. What do you think I should do: Wait for it to release or get the iPhone 5?
- Setting up an iPhone after resetting it without using previous apple id? Ok, so my title doesn't really make sense but here's my situation. I recently sold an iPhone 4 on ebay and obviously I want to reset it. However, I have been told that after you reset it, you'll have to use the original apple ID you started with. Is this true? If it is, how do I do make it so that you can use any apple ID to set it up?
- Safari Private Browsing History not Private? So I've got an iPhone 4 and recently found out that there's actually a way to view the history of your private tab. Is this true? If so, I wanted to know how to delete it.
