I just tried the RDP of windows 10 and it worked very well.
I have an admin account (named A), then I create another user (named B). When I use account B to log in RDP and open google chrome, I cannot access chrome data (history, cookies, passwords, ...), but it's like a newly installed chrome. So I want to ask is there any way that admin A and user B can use the same chrome data ? Thank you !
Chrome (probably for all the browsers) will store the browser data for different users in different location (location: C:\Users\<current-user-name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default). So if you logged in as a different user, it will use different browser data to start the browser.
If you really want to, probably you need to login your Chrome using the same Google account and then turn on the sync option, which is the easiest way.
Or another idea is that you can try to copy the other users browser data (location: C:\Users\<other-user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) to your browser data location (location: C:\Users\<your-user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) (really not recommended because you won't know how Chrome deals with the data and I'm not sure whether this works, I guess it won't work)

I followed tutorial on:
https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-facebook/
I run the application and successfully authenticate with a single user. Home page returns my feeds.
Now I connect to the application from another browser/machine and go to home page - I see feeds of first browser session/machine.
I am expecting to be asked to log in again when connecting from different browser/machine.
What am I missing?
Didnt try it, and depends on exact configuration :
When you logged in on the first browser you gave facebook the permission to allow your application to access your facebook account.
If you are logged in to facebook before on the other browsers with the same user, the permission given to the app through interaction on the first browser might be sufficient.
You can try to use incognito mode on a browser, in this case you should definitely have to authorize again.
Is there any methods to use different gmail account for different website. It means I would like to use subash#gmail.com for youtube, subash2#gmail.com for google classroom as default.
I donot want to logout and again sign it to the account.Also I dont want to open multiple browser. Currently I am running arc linux with mozilla firefox as default browser.I tried google search but no help.
Try using a New Private Window for one thing and a normal window for the other.
I was wondering if it ever would make sense to have two concurrent sessions in the same browser? There could be two types of cases with this:
1) A user opens a browser window and logs in as user A, starting session 1. Then he opens another browser window (in the same browser) where he logs in as user A, but starts a different session, session 2.
I know that this is often not possible in many browsers, as one session cookie is set for the entire browser. However, in some browsers, it is possible to have multiple sessions in that manner.
2) This is similar to 1, except that the second time the user logs in, he logs in as user B, starting session 2. So now you have a person logged in as two users in the same browser.
Finally, allowing these things doesn't seem like the best security practice and neither does it seem to be practical. What do others think?
First thing First as the your Assumption is wrong. First of all you have to understand that when Single website is accessed from browser have single session and its not possible to simultaneously run different session of same web Browser.
It seems you have wrongly understand the working of Private Browser. Private Session are not made not to share information cookies and data with other public session and vise versa also. As soon as you close the Private Session all the Cache, Cookie and other things are deleted for forever.
I have not seen any web browser supporting the Multiple session of browser.
But an alternative approach is available i.e you have to create different Web Browser Profiles which can help you as each Profile data is maintained separately and have no conflict with other sessions.
One possible scenario currently I am facing requires allowing multiple user sessions from the same browser and I have not been able to find a proper solution for it yet.
We are using Yii framework. Currently we have two kinds of users i.e customers and admins. Both login from the same login form and use same session name and variables to store session information. Only based on type column in user table(customer or admin), the user is taken to appropriate views. In one of admin views(pages), there is an option for admin to log in as any of the users and propagate through the user's view in an iframe. The problem is that when the admin open two tabs and logs in as two different users, the session information of one overwrites the other and we start getting session related issues.
Can anyone suggest me a proper way to handle these kind of issues. I have searched a lot on trying to handle this with multiple sessions, but have not been able to find a proper solution yet.
There's nothing to "provide support for" here. One browser cannot hold more than one session, since it only holds one unique cookie per site, regardless of window. If a browser actually has a mode in which it supports holding two separate identical cookies per site, then it's the same as if the user logged on from another browser or another machine. That certainly should work; i.e. you should not try to subvert that behavior. A double session inside the same browser is then just a specific instance of this multi-session behavior, nothing special.
I have a webpage that which need to access some user data on his windows PC.
Ex.Read Outlook Email , due to security restrictions browsers wont allow this.
What is the best way to achieve this ?
Write an ActiveX control ? [what about FF,Chrome]
I need this work with Firefox,IE,Chrome.
Thanks.
You can't do this - it would be a huge security/privacy issue if a browser could access information on the user's machine. The only way to get Outlook emails would be to tell the user to export their emails from Outlook and have them upload the exported emails to your website.
You will need to write a tool like Google Calendar Sync that your users would download and install.
They would have to input their website credentials or a token that you generate for them and your app would do whatever needs to be done on the local PC. You may also have a trust issue as well. Will your users trust running your app to read their emails? Depends on the situation I guess, but a totally browser based solution probably won't work if it needs to be cross-browser compliant.
I'm developing my web app with Spring MVC 2.5.6 and I need some help for multiple user sessions in it. The header of my app shows the logged user.
In my computer, I open two browsers (no tabs):
In the first one, I log in my app with user1 and get into. In the header, user1 appears.
In the second, I log in with user2 and go on. In the header, user2 appears.
Then, I switch to the first browser, submit an operation to the controller and when the app is showed again, in the header user2 appears, and it's wrong because I logged in with user1.
So, my questions are:
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getName() may not be the right way to get the logged user with many users, because it's singleton (isn't it?). How could I do this?
This wrong situation is also happening with session object, so user1 data stored in the session object (managed with request.getSession().setAttribute(...) and request.getSession.getAttribute(...)) is override with user2 data.
In this StackOverflow question, Handling Session ID with Spring, it's suggested that session ID would be managed to separate data. Should I manage manually each user data with session ID internally in my application? How could I get the session ID?
In general terms, my problem is with dealing with multiple users/sessions.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best regards

With session as normally implemented, this is normal behavior if the client is running two windows or tabs of the same browser on the same machine, as they share the session.
If you open the app in IE and Firefox, they will not share a session, and things will work properly.
I don't believe there's a way to get the browser to stop sharing session among windows, so if you need them to act independently, you'll need to essentially create your own session mechanism, likely by using hidden fields or some such hack rather than the cookies or url-rewriting the normal mechanism uses.
It would be better to just accept the situation. Let the user know when they open the second window and connect to your app that they are already logged in, and don't allow another login.
