Cannot access my secure bank or credit card sites with Internet Xplorer on my XDAII. I can access home pages but will not open secure windows? (doesn't do anything at all - no error message etc.. just doesn't link!)
Popups enabled etc..
Am I barking up the wrong tree or can anybody else access secure sites - if so - how?
Cheers y'all
Hi mate, some secure sites just aren't compatible with Pocket Internet Explorer.
I can access my Barclays Current Account through my XDA, but not my Barclaycard Account, for example.

Hi,
The login box does not appear in the orkut site when browsing through MDA. I contacted orkut help and they said I have to www.orkut.com from the list of restricted sites.
But i could not see these options in my MDA? :? Has anyone faced such issues? How can I overcome this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Saj.
internet settings
can anyone please point out how we can see the restricted sites list, and remove some sites from it?
does the internet explorer in WM5 have these options?
How u doin man'
:]
ok, orkut doesnt work on pie.
This is because the login box for google accounts is an IFRAME, and thefore not supported by pocket ie (or so it seems)...
The only way to see the login box is by using opera mobile. Download it and it will work fine.
hey
u can also use netfron 3.3...it has more options than opera
thanks for ur replies, will try these.
Some applications store sensitive information and have internet access. For example, there are apps that ask for your Google account to back up SMS messages or access Google Reader.
I'd like to know that my password is only going to Google and not to some third party server database as well. Paranoid, yeah. But if someone gets your Google account they could practically have free reign on your life with password resets and the like.
Is there a way to monitor this traffic, or maybe even a sort of firewall app that notifies you when a secure data string is being sent over the net?
(On a related note, I can't believe Google hasn't provided a secure way to authenticate without forcing developers to ask for login information yet)
Hi There,
when surfing the web through our smartphones we frequently use WiFi free networks, the problem is that there is an add on for firefox, 'FireSheep',
that reviels our login info for our facbook, gmail and even bank accounts
is there any firewall or anything else that can avoid such info theaft?

Yes, install the plugin "blacksheep" which can alert you if someone is using it, by spoofing cookies for it to "steal".
Use a VPN though if you are concerned. Wifi without encryption isn't secure, and you can expect any cookies to be sniffed when using it.
Not for Android nor WP7 nor iOS AFAIK.
Just try to avoid using any app that doesn't encrypt communications. How would you know that? I don't know of any studies or papers about this... so test at home using wifi!
For browsing the web just avoid to login in any web through http, do it all over https.

Hello Everyone,
I am developing an application which will try to automatically authenticate a phone when connected to a wifi hotspot that is using a BlueSocket system. This is normally used in universities and colleges. I wonder is anyone out there in a BlueSocket campus? And if you are would you use this application?
I'd definitely find an app like this really useful.
I hate having to open my browser and *hope* that it'll redirect me to the bluesocket login page.
Good luck on the app
Great, In my college the blue socket also does that, Sometimes redirects, and sometimes not. I have figured out that if the first page you attempt to access is a secure https:// page, then it won't redirect the traffic. However if its a regular, http:// page, then there is redirection. But that however works when it wants to. Some computers or browsers don't like being redirected like that i believe.
I currently have the app being able to specify what the server url is and login details, but some servers redirect weirdly. I will hopefully upload a beta in a couple of days.
Thanks for your interest.
I have uploaded this app into the market, all feedback should go to the following thread.

I have searched high.. and I have searched LOW... and I can find no solution for this problem:

Well the thing is I tried several browsers.
1. The default one that comes with Android
2. Opera mini
3. DolphinHD
All same thing. I'm now going to test with a beta build of Firefox for android (fennero was it called I forget) but its SUCH a stupid thing to not work. Every other device WORKS. Blackberries, Iphones, tablets, laptops....everything.
EDIT: The EXACT error I get is:
"There is a problem with the security certificate for this site. This certificate is not from a trusted authority." I get this AS it attempts to load the redirect login page (both university and at work now). Same issue. It's browser/certificate related. And its ANNOYING as hell.
EDIT 2: Found the problem. It's that stupid certificate.
"This is a result of your corporation using an in house Certificate Authority to provide SSL encryption on your mail server and clients.
Basically....the computer that issued the certificate isn't trusted by the android phone. I'm new to android so I'm not sure if you can add a trusted CA (I haven't seen any options for it).
I don't know about future updates like the above poster mentioned.
Most companies will purchase a certificate from one of the major Certificate Authorities on the internet, which are pre-programed into most operating systems to be trusted. Internal CA's are trusted by the domain environment at your work, but not by anyone else. External (Internet) CA's are trusted by everyone.
if you want an example, open up IE (gross I know) and go to your options. Click the content tab, then there should be a button label certificates. inside the certificates window select Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
That is a list of all the builtin trusted CA's provided by Microsoft and the companies that govern the internet. "
I STILL have no idea how to fix it and to make the phone accept the certificate though.
EDIT 3: Fennec (Mozilla Firefox for Android beta) managed to pull up the login page for my work network. Not sure if it will work for the university yet.

I can't use firefox because the Galaxy 3 isn't supported. (Hence, why I'm asking in the Galaxy 3 section.)
But there MUST be a way to accept a simple TOS.
Maybe an AP? Or a script that can be written?
I've rooted my phone... Maybe I can find a way to add the McDonald's certificate?
HELP!
Oh come now..
Sixty views, somebody could at least take a JAB at it.

Alright the hell with it... I'LL take a jab at it:
I can't load the McDonald's site because Android doesn't like their certificate. So all I should have to do is add the McDonald's certificate to the list of sites that Android accepts and it should be sugar in the gas tank right?
So where is this list held?
