iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

How are passwords/options stored in iMacro Beta for FF?

Post by mabey » Sat Apr 14, 2007 11:51 am

Hi,

I have a few (for me) very relevant question:
I've read a lot in the pdf manual of iMacro.
So far I wasn't able to find the iMacro settings file.
(It's not under C:\Docs and Prefs\username\Application Data\iMacro where all the user macros are stored... Yes I'm able to see hidden files.)

1. Where are the options stored in iMacro Beta for FF?
2. Where is the "stored master password" stored?
3. Where is the temp master password stored? Just held in memory (encrypted/unencrypted)?

Thanks a lot for your support.
I hope I didn't ask anything trivial.
If I didn't write enough for you to be able to help me please let me know.

>Where are the options stored in iMacro Beta for FF?

Important: iMacros for Firefox and iMacros for Internet Explorer store the settings in different places:

The ini-file and the path you mentioned C:\Docs and Prefs\username\Application Data\iMacro is for the regular iMacros software and iMacros for Internet Explorer (Note: With Version 6, this path has changed)

In Firefox, we use the methods described here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Pr ... preference

>Where is the "stored master password" stored?

The stored master password is stored just like another setting.
If required, the iim.ini file (for iMacros) can be encrypted, for example using EFS http://www.iopus.com/guides/efs.htm

>Where is the temp master password stored?

The temp master password is never stored, just held in memory.
