Administrator Login Problem

Hello,
Two weeks ago I installed a new Xserve running Mac OS X Leopard server 10.5.2. This machine runs FileMaker Pro Server v9 and MYOB File Connect. No file sharing users or any other services.
The problem: the Administrator login from on the Xserve no longer allows login. I have checked and rechecked that the correct password is being used. No luck logging into the Xserve. FileMaker Pro Server, and MYOB File Connect are running file and users are able to access these services without problems.
My question is what happened? Why can't I login to the Xserve and how do I resolve this without screwing things up and requiring and rebuild of the server?
Apple is certainly challenging my faith with Leopard Server.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Bryan

I had a similar problem shortly after the initial 10.5.1 install on a brand new Xserve quad core. Hadn't set up any services yet, just ran software update (including 10.5.2 update), after the restart I couldn't log in. Baffled the heck out of me. Yes, it was the correct password. Had to do a brand new install all over again.

  • Visual Administrator - Login Problem

    hi all,
    I am having problem starting visual administrator.since i am a new user here, i am provided with the user id/password ( not Administrator UID/PW ) and told that it has necessary authorizations.
    when i try to start the VA by using my UID/PW and given connection paramters with the http port 55000,
    Getting an error- unable to look up a connection "name i gave"
                             unable to lookup connection with the parameters "name i gave : port"
    Lookup connection via message server - ( i chose this option while creating connetion paramters )
    Direct connection to a dispatcher node
    what am i doing wrong ? don't i have necessary permissions or i need to use the administrator and password ?
    And we have two instances ( MD1 & MD2 ) running on the same server..how do i get the diiferent instance in VA by giving the same http port 55000 ?
    I am not able to login..please help.
    Addy

    Nicholls,
    I mentioned it wrongly..The P4 port was 55004 only..but the message server port shows only 3960.
    > The Java message server port is normally 81xx, where xx is the instance number of SCS. I can't guess what that value is, but it is often 1  number higher than the CI number (in your case 50, which means SCS of 51).
    The CI is 50..but why do we calculate 81xx ? And i always check the system info page only for any port information..that shows me only 3960.
    Is it how we need to calculate for message port ( 81xx )...I was not knowing that..!
    Now, I tried with 8151 also as per your guidance..but, no luck..:-(
    Thanks!

  • Windows 7 Home Premium Administrator login problem

    I have two user accounts on my PC (running Windows 7 Home Premium). My profile is set as "the administrators profile" and I work and save everything on this profile.
    It's been working great till 2 weeks ago. I switch on the PC, it was giving the options to log into either one of the profiles, and I chose my profile as always. It then gave me an error saying: "The user profile Service Failed the logon. User profile
    cannot be loaded" It doing that eversince and I just can't log into that profile.
    I'm able to log into the other user account, but not being the administrator I can't access all my files or do any downloads. If I'm working in the other account and do download for instance, it will ask me for the administrators password. When entering
    it, its not reacting or recognizing the password at all.
    Please could you let me know how to recover the administrators profile?

    Hi,
    If there is another administrator account that you can log into, Please try the following methods directly:
    Method 1: Fix the user account profile
    Method 2: Log on to Windows and copy your data to a new account
    Method 3: Delete the error SID and create a new profile
    However, if you can't get to any administrator account, follow these steps:
    1. Restart your computer and hit F8 multiples times until you see a menu-like screen, if you see the Windows splash screen then repeat this step;
    2. Highlight and hit enter on Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Try logging in there.
    3. If you are able to login, once a command prompt pops up, type:
        net user administrator password /active:yes (you can specify whatever password you want for the administrator account.)
    4. If you get a message saying "The command completed successfully", then restart your computer by typing: shutdown -r;
    5. Boot up again pressing F8, but this time choose just Safe Mode;
    6. You will be able to login as Administrator with the password you set in Step 3;
    7. Then try that methods above.
    For more detailed information, please refer to this article below:

  • CF6.1: Administrator Login Failure - too many redirects

    We a running CF 6.1 with a Commonspot content management system with IIS 6.0 as the web server.  The CF Administrator login screen comes up and I am able to enter the password.  Depending upon the browser various error messages (see below) appear that seem to indicate redirect issues between index.cfm and enter.cfm.
    There are two IIS web sites (commonspot and Administration) which both have CFIDE in them.  Renaming the "administrator" folder under either web site causes the CF admin page to be not found. I'm looking for any troubleshooting help.  I think there is an issue between index.cfm and enter.cfm in the login process.  The server is virtual so we can snap back the the original state if the new config fails.
    Thank you,

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to log in to your user account after upgrading, try resetting your password using the method in this article:

  • EP60 Login problem.

    I have a new installation of EP60 and am having a problem. When I key in the administrator id and pw in the login pane, it just redisplays the pane. I know the login information is correct because it works in the J2EE admin url.
    The portal did work after the installation. I think that when we attempted to install NTLM that something was damaged.
    This system is deployed on two W2K servers and the database is MSSQL.
    The other point of interest is that the two servers were re-purposed for this portal and the old application was EP50. The two servers were not reimaged prior to the new install.
    What traces or logs should I be looking at to help debug this problem?
    thanks
    Rich

    I got by the login problem, it was a definition in the security definitions with in J2EE.
    Now when I try to get the NTLM to work, I get the following error.

  • Web Center app with ADF Security - login problem

    I have a custome Oracle Web Center app.
    I have a page.html with an embedded login form posting to j_security_check. I've configured the ADF security policies to redirect to a JSPX on successful login.
    When I try the correct username/password, I get redirected not to the page I defined in ADF, but to the root page http://127.0.0.1:7101/MyApp-ViewController-context-root/
    and i get
    Error 403--Forbidden
    I've checked the weblogic.xml as per http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/12/solving-error-403-forbidden-in-adf.html, all the required entries are there.
    This works fine if i use a Login link with
    destination="#{'/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx'} "
    which redirects to the default login.html and then to the right page. I've copied the form from the default login.html into my master HTML page.
    Hope my question is clear. Any suggestions why it is going to the wrong URL after login.
    Is there anything specific I should see in the jazn-data.xml or web.xml regarding the post-login URL since i cant see that in either.
    P.S. Have been advised to try here when I originally asked this in the WebCenter forum. Web Center app ADF Security - login problem
    Edited by: new_to_webcenter on 18-Jan-2011 05:25

    Thanks for your response Frank.
    The web.xml has
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/adfAuthentication</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <role-name>valid-users</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <login-config>
    <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
    <form-login-config>
    <form-login-page>/login.html</form-login-page>
    <form-error-page>/error.html</form-error-page>
    </form-login-config>
    </login-config>
    When configuring ADF Security via JDev , I chose "Redirect upon successful authentication" to the Welcome Page
    "/faces/postLogin.jspx"
    this then adds into web.xml
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>adfAuthentication</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>oracle.adf.share.security.authentication.AuthenticationServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
    <param-name>success_url</param-name>
    <param-value>/faces/postLogin.jspx</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    So the sequence which works is:
    Login via the '/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx' and this redirects to login.html (OOTB form which posts to j_security_check) and then to the postLogin.jspx
    I'm trying to do away with a Login link, and trying the simple login form embedded in my page alongwith other content.
    So should the form be posting to j_security_check directly or to the adfAuthentication ?

  • IMac login problems on any 10.6 update

    I have a 24" iMac that is 2 years old. After using snow leopard on my husband's new macbook I decided to get it for my imac. The base install of 10.6 works fine but of course it immediately wants to be updated to a new release. If I update it past the base install from the CD I get login problems.
    What happens is that the desktop appears and the finder menu is at the top but the date and network status etc - everything from the top right of the menu bar is missing. The computer will not move forward. No amount of waiting or button pushing will improve the situation.
    Sometimes I could log in to another account but then it would start happening on that acocunt too. I made myself a new account and it started happening on that too. Every time if I did a re-install of the base 10.6 from the CD it went back to working fine. I would have to say no to every update of 10.6 on software update. This has been going on for 6 months. I thought maybe with 10.6.4 they fixed it but it did it again.
    yesterday I did a fresh install. Thinking it was caused by my old quicken 2007 or parallels (though its v 5) or something else that has some bit that starts at login I formatted the HD , installed 10.6 fresh and installed nothing but ilife 9. I downloaded the 10.6.4 update and it still happens. I logged off my account and logged back in to test and it froze again. I am at my wits end. The only thing I saved from my old profile was my mail folder. I can find nothing else to fix. Any ideas?

    Do things behave better if you boot into "safe mode" by holding down a shift key while your Mac is booting?

  • How to access the User Reports using 'Administrator' login in OBIEE 10g

    Is there any way to access the reports saved in Users/'My folders' using the Administrator Login?

    Hi User,
    Create a new shared folder.
    Provide access to all the users.
    Now, ask the user who created the report in 'My Folders' to save the report in this new shared folder.
    And, Delete those reports in 'My Folders'.
    Now, as the report is saved in New shared folder you can access - this one.
    Else--- Ask the user who created the report in my folder to make sure that it is available to all users. (Permissions - Permission should need to be provided for Administrator group)
    Thank you.

  • Simultaneous login problem

    Hi 
    I am having simultaneous login problems. In the past I have been able to sign into my skype account on both my Mac Book Pro and my Windows 7 desktop PC. However since I had to change my password I can only login into one machine at a time now. Also when I change my password on the desktop PC I can only sign into that skype / computer. Whenever I type the same account name and same exact password on my Mac Book Pro, it says it doesn't recognize my sign-in details but I am 100% sure that I typed it in exactly the same way as I did on my desktop. Another is that when I reset my password on my Mac Book those details won't work on the Desktop PC and vice-versa.
    I would like to know what is the problem in this situation, I am not sure if this is an application error or a networking error where the account details are not signing in from a different IP or MAC address.
    Please and thank you!

    "The load balancing was already functional:"
    Do you have a description how to do that?
    I Would like to know how.
    "so ALL traffic, not going to the LAN network and so over this interface, went out on the DMZ interface, with source IP from LAN."
    If you put the VPN servers behind 1-1 NAT instead they will use the firewall as GW and the VPN clients will get at your remote sites/LAN IF you add routing definitions in VPN config what networks are reachable through VPN.
    Or you keep servers as they are but also add add more routing definitions in VPN AND static routes to each server with the firewall as gw to those remote networks. Default gw will still be through the DMZ IPs though.
    The problem with more than one VPN client from behind same IP address is, with your current server settings, most likely because of the client side NAT router isn't coping with the task. Your public IP VPN server(s) should mean NAT VPN problem is at the other end (customer/client network router/firewall).
    If two VPN clients behind same NAT router connected to different servers at your end, "12.34.56.80" and "12.34.56.81" (both are public IPs?) respectively I believe at least two should be able to connect.
    3G/4G modems isn't an option?
    Maybe try bringing your own tested working portable router (ethernet/wifi maybe includes a VPN client that connect to your servers) to the customer and put it temporarily on their LAN? There are these small new 3G/WiFi routers too. Depends on wether you need to be connected to customer LAN or not.
    Try other VPN solution, SSL or OpenVPN?
    Use both PPTP and L2TP simultaneously (PPTP could be troubelsome if GRE/TCP 1723 passthrough is disabled)?

  • What is the best practice to protect coldfusion administrator login page

    Hi all,
    Can someone suggest what is the best practice to protect the administrator login? At the moment, there is only the normal administrator page password to protect. It seems like not very secure especially when the application is on the internet.
    Regards,
    Bubblegum.

    You can protect the page with file system level privs.  Setup a new virtual server that maps to a seperate copy of /cfide (and remove /admin and /adminapi from the other cfide folder your internet sites use).  Limit what IP addresses can hit /cfide.
    We run multiple instances, so we connect directly to each instance to manage it.  And those ports aren't accessable on the internet.  To top it off, we have an ISAPI ReWrite rule that sends a 404 if you try /cfide/administrator or adminapi.
    If you're using CF8, you can set it up so it requires a specific username instead of a generic name.

  • Administrator Login & Issue with Weblogic Admin Server Console

    I recently applied a PeopleTools patch to a test environment. I will be doing this to production soon, and as I was going through my screenshots of what I did in test, I ran across an area that may cause me an issue when I apply it to production.
    There is a screen which prompts you for the administrator login and password for the weblogic domain. I wasn't sure of this when I did it in test, but in the PeopleTools install doc, it said the default is system/Passw0rd
    This worked fine in test. However, the person who set this up in production may have used a different password. I don't want to get halfway through the patch and have to abort because I don't know the password.
    I did some research and read there was a file with this info. I think it was boot.properties, but it was encrypted.
    I then started the Weblogic Admin Server Console in test and was able to login with system/Passsw0rd so that verified a way of confirming the password in test.
    I tried to do the same in production, but the Weblogic Admin Server Console page does not come up. The webserver is running, and if it wasn't, my phone would be ringing. Why does the console not come up?
    However, the screen that comes up during the patch that prompts you for this asks you to enter your password, and re-enter it on the next line, so maybe its setting the password, not verifying that you know it. Is this true, I could make it whatever I want?
    The WebLogicAdmin_weblogic.log file has not been updated in months. This may have been when we did the last upgrade.
    Can you tell me how to determine/verify this password?
    Thanks,
    Roger

    I'm not sure if there's an easy way to verify this. If I'm not mistaken you'll have batch file called startweblogicadmin.bat in the bin directory. You have to start this to get the administrator console running. It will be running on port :9999 by default if you haven't changed this.

  • Lost administrator login and password.

    We can't download new software etc. because we lost our administrator login and password. How do we reset it? Will we lose all of our files?

    Insert the install disk that came with your MacBook. Reboot holding the C Key down. Once it boots from the install disk continue until you get to a window the has the menu bar across the top. Look under Utilities and find the *Reset Password* item. Change it and you should be able to log in again once you reboot your system.
