I am using the below version of p4 visual client. Everytime, I launch the client it prompts me for a password. Is there a way that I can set the password (encrytped) as an env variable so that it doesn't prompt me for a password . I am using Windows 7 operating system.
Version:: Rev. Perforce Visual Client/NTX64/2014.3/1007540
Thanks
If your server's security level is 2 or lower, you can store your password in the 'P4PASSWD' environment variable, but it is not encrypted.
More information about server security levels, passwords and tickets is available here:

Currently P4V does not have a mechanism to store your password within the application, but you may wish to consider submitting your suggesting to P4IdeaX:

Hope this helps,

I use gitlab since some years.
After an update of my mac book, one application fails on deploy with deployer.
fatal: could not read Username for 'http://mygitlab.org:22': terminal prompts disabled
I use the same gitlab server for all projects. The other projects are working well.
I compared the gig config file. No differences between the applications.
I tried to set/change the username. No success
I created a new repo on gitlab, and cloned it into my php storm. No success
Has someone an idea, where i have to search?
Thanks in advance!
Check the URL of that repository. A port 22 is the default one used by SSH, so seeing an HTTP URL used is strange, and would trigger a prompt for the username.
This differs from a git#mygitlab.org: URL (or ssh://git#mygitlab.org:22/...), which should not need any prompt, if the right SSH key is used (and has no passphrase, or if the passphrase is cached in an ssh-agent).
For some reason I set my git password on my Ubuntu desktop to something different than what I have it set to on my Windows laptop and I'd like to change the password on linux. Everything I'm finding talks about a credential helper but that's not really what I want. I don't mind typing in my password because it helps me to remember it. I have the current password so I'm not locked out but I can't find how to simply update the password. If I store the password in the credential helper and then something happens down the road where I need to enter that password I wouldn't remember it. Any help would be appreciated.
I work in a linux system with a windows proxy account. The password must change aways at the end of the month. Nowdays i need to go to a windows machine, change my password and go back to my linux machine.
The password is used for others internal services too. (like private email, git access, database access, etc).
I want to change my password without the help of a windows. I want to do it on linux. It can be done?
This is really the wrong forum: I'd suggest trying serverfault.com.
SUGGESTION:
It sounds like smbpasswd might be a solution: http://serverfault.com.
I've just finished installing Virtuoso's opensource package and I'm running the web gui called Conductor.
It requires a login, but I don't think there was anything about setting that up during install.
is there a default un / pass for this? if now, how do I set one?
According to their documentation, you can log in initially as:
username: dba
password: dba
Edit: i also found that there are two different default users setup:
There are two system users of immediate importance:
dba -- the relational data administrative account
dav --the WebDAV adminstrative account.
By default each of these accounts has
its password set the same as its username. It is strongly advised that
you change these as soon as possible for obvious security reasons.
http://ods.openlinksw.com/wiki/main/Main/VOSUbuntuNotes#Using%20Virtuoso
There are supposedly several default users set up, per Section 3.1.1 Default Passwords of their documentation (dba, dav, vad, demo, soap, fori), but dba and dav are the critical ones to change. Note: I don't actually see the other users under the Ubuntu Xenial virtuoso package (version 6.1.6+repack-0ubuntu5)
That page also has the isql syntax to change the password (only for the logged in user, ie, dba) on the command line:
This can be changed using the Interactive SQL utility. When started without parameters, the ISQL tries to log on as dba with the default password. The SQL statement to change a user's password is:
set password <old password> <new password>
The password is an identifier, so take care to use proper quotation.
I am planning on using a local repository, using only TortoiseSVN's "create repository here" feature.
The repo is created and I can read and write to it just fine. The problem is that I can't get authentication to work. I thought I wanted Windows authentication, but I actually want the simple text-file based authentication so I can force the current system user (i.e. any person can be using the same Windows account and I want to differentiate between them) to provide their name and password. I haven't found any information on how to do this without svnserve running.
So far, I have modified svnserve.conf like this:
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
realm = LocalOnly
I didn't mess with the [sasl] section.
I also modified passwd:
[users]
harry = teH0wLIpW0gyQ
I am trying to use encrypted passwords created with a simple perl script. However, regardless of what I do with the repo (i.e. including writing to the repo), I am never prompted for a password.
I tried clearing TortoiseSVN's authentication cache since I do connect to a remote repo, but this didn't matter at all.
Has anyone tried this and succeeded? Or is it not possible without svnserve?
Not possible without svnserve - it takes care of the challenge/response.
Try Subversion Edge. you can edit the file you are mentioning using the GUI provided by the tool. It uses its own http server(not svnserve or IIS).
Unfortunately your best bet with a local repository is to use your file system permissions. A simple and free option for a server (that's easy to manager) would be VisualSVN Server. You can hang it off or a workstation or drop it on a public webserver somewhere. I now have mine setup with a reverse proxy with IIS7 so it's integrated with the rest of my web site.
