Safari 7.04 Browser and Login Form .

[Vinnie]

Just sharing information.

My apps has a standard Login form with an extra field AccountCode and I have removed the remember me option.

I want the user to enter AccountCode ; Username and Password every time.


If the user lets Safari browser save the password, when the user returns to the login form the browser is connecting to the server continuously.

I guess as there is an extra field which Safari has not saved it is trying to fetch from the server. The user is then unable to enter data into the login form before the Safari browser has refreshed the page. This will stay in this loop until the user closes the login form.

No problem with IE, Chrome or Mozilla.

Not sure there is a fix for this but I thought I would pass on information.

Clarion 9.1 and NT8.18 ; App is also using SSL.

I have this same issue with one app, but not another one, but neither one have additional fields, just user name, PW, and remember me.
I have not figured out why one has the issue and the other does not.

Thanks for your reply.
I am unable to test as I do not have a Mac.
When the user removed the passwords from their browser the login works great.

Not sure if there is a setting to stop the browser from saving or checking for password.

I just started having this problem on two customers using Mac's and Safari.
The only difference is that I started using String Theory to check the password and thought maybe this was causing it.
I do not have a Mac either so can't test.
On one of the customers I am also getting that repeated login attempt and thought it an attack of some sort and blocked the IP.  Of course I also blocked the customer.

Maybe a question in the Webinar tomorrow?

Just to share information.

I had a problem with a client trying to login to my we app using a MAC.

The problem turn out to be that the client saved to password in the browser.

The main difference to example login and my app login  is that I also have three fields on my login form.

User and password (which are standard and being saved by the browser save)

but also an ACCOUNT CODE (which is not being saved by the browser)

The main problem other then the client being unable to login is if the client left the login page open the server log would continuously report login request from the client which would look as if client was attacking the server.

I got the client to remove the save password and that client has never had that problem again.

Hope this helps

I assume the remove save password refers to safari?

Sorry Brian I did not explain.

Yes clear the password on the MAC browser.
