After software update, users cannot log into Xserve

We have an Xserve running 10.6.7. We just did an software update and rebooted the server. Something broke and at this point, only local users can log in, such as the administrator account. None of the users in the LDAP db can log in. I cannot access their accounts from Workgroup Manager, either, because it posts an LDAP error.
We do have a full backup of that drive from 24 hours ago, but don't want to just blindly overwrite the whole drive. Are there specific files I could restore?
Or, is there a way to correct what's wrong with LDAP?

Sadly we are currently having problems with ldap and directoryservices after the 10.6.7 update. It is not the same thing you are seeing but none the less.
My advice would be to get that backup up and running. You could copy the backup to an external drive and try and boot off of it and see how that works if its ok I would revert back and hold off on updates.

Users cannot log into Remote Desktop after 3/11/2015 update!

I have a simple network where users can log into a Windows SBS 2008 server with Remote Desktop to access various applications. This worked quite smoothly until this morning, after the updates of last evening. (3/11/2015)
When users tried to log into the Remote Desktop this morning their credentials were rejected, as if their username and/or password were incorrect. Even I (as the administrator) could not log in remotely. Finally I connected a monitor and keyboard
directly to the server and was able to log in without an issue. After logging in directly I was able to connect through remote desktop.
This method worked for my other users as well - after I logged them in directly they were able to use remote desktop no problem.
The trouble is that I have a couple dozen users, and this is an issue that should not be occurring. What happened in the last update to cause remote desktop to reject users credentials? Why does it only work after the user logs in directly?
And most importantly, how do I fix this?
A few notes:
Simply browsing for files on the server also asks for the user's name and password, and this works as well. This is only a remote desktop issue.
I have already checked to make sure the domain was correct. It was.
I have already checked to make sure the usernames and passwords were correct. They were.
I have already checked to make sure this was not a unique issue for a single (or limited number) of users. This issue effected
all users all the network.
Thank you very much for your help,
Dustin

I'm curious here... If the server is rebooted, does it put the RDS users back into a "credentials failed" situation? If so, could you please have them log in with credentials:
domain.local\username (I suspect they may be currently using domain\username)
and see if that fixes the RDS problem without having to first log into the server directly.
The ".local" may be ".lan" or ".somethingelse" depending on how you initially configured your domain, but the default for SBS 2008 is ".local"
Merv Porter
=========================
That's a good question - the server will auto-reboot this evening and I'll test again in the morning.
You are correct that we've been using domain\username. I tried domain.local\username (which is the way we've set up), and that did not work either.
I'll let you know how things turn out tomorrow morning. I don't want to mess with my users anymore today. :P

User cannot log into ZCM Agent 11.3.1

We just went through a domain migration. All PCs were unregistered from the old ZCM 11.2 server in the old domain before they were migrated. When we went to re-register them to the 11.3.1 ZCM server, we ran into 2 issues. Some of the systems successfully upgraded to 11.3.1 BUT users cannot log onto the ZCM 11.3.1 Agent. It's giving an error of "unable to log into the network because the login credentials or the server certificate is incorrect". The PCs that didn't not upgraded to ZCM 11.3.1 and are running 11.2.0 do not have this problem. They get authenticated appropriately. The User configuration is set to eDirectory (just like on the ZCM 11.2 server in the old domain).
I ran "zac ci" and noticed there are old certificates from ZENworks servers that are no longer around. How do you get rid of these old references? It's picking up the new server's certificates. I ran this on my PC ZCM Agent 11.2 (won't upgrade and can authenticate into the ZCM 11.2 agent just fine) and I do not see the old certificates. I'm only seeing certificates for the new ZCM 11.3.1 server in the new domain and the eDirectory master server that the ZCM server is referencing.

The old Trusts can be cleared using IE to managed the Trusted Root
Stores. There are some other ways too.
However, Having old ones should not be an issue unless the old and new
Servers have the same name. Not 100% sure matching will cause an issue,
but I think I have seen that before.
It may be possible to automate the removal of the old trusts, but I
would not worry about that until you verify it is an issue by manually
fixing a couple and see if resolves your issue.
Your issue may be something else.
Reinstalling CASA is something else to try.

Since the iOS 7 update i cannot log into my icloud. Seems I have two iCloud loggins. One old. one new. When I try to delete the ol from my phone it does not accept the password nor will it take my info to reset my password.

At one point I had set up my itunes and icloud with an old email address. I have since shanged that to a new email. iTunes works fine and I can log into my new iCloud on my PC but my phone will not allow me to delete the old iCloud email without the password. I select to reset the password but the system will not accept my birthdate or security questions. All happening after i did the iOS 7 update. Any thoughts? Thank you!

1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID? If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account. If it doesn't work, try #2.
2) If you don't have access to your old email account. Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes. DON'T sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

Workspace User cannot log into workspace

Hello Everyone,
When I try to log into workspace as a user with Workspace User role, I get the following message "Access permission has not been granted to this user." and cannot log in.
I have already added the user to principles with "INVOKE_PERM" permission for the specific application. But I still cannot log in as that user of Workspace User role.
Any help or suggestions for resolving this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
you have given access to the user to invoke all operations on a service. You need to give login access.
There are following ways to chieve this:-
1:-In livecycle few default roles are created one of them is 'LiveCycle Workspace User'(Can log in to the Workspace end-user application), assign this role to user.
2:-Add the permission 'PERM_WORKSPACE_USER'(Log in to the Workspace end-user application) in your role and assign that role to user.
Thanks

Firefox will not start after an update, I cannot log in to Firefox in any manner.

Firefox does not work any more and every time I attempt to access it (even in Safe Mode) it displays the following message:
Firefox.exe- Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll.
I have absolutely no way of getting into Firefox to undo whatever has gone wrong, is it still possible to solve this without having to completely purge and reinstall Firefox?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I clicked on something else during the installation of an update and Firefox has failed to start ever since ==

Thanks kenton. But now pop-up says beta 5.
The ''real issue'' is what is going on. On one machine the update process works, but on my other machine it does not.
The machines are identical IBM T60s with Windows XP.
This is a real mystery, as well as being annoying.
A clue or suggestion any one?

Unable to log into administrator account after software update

I've done a clean installation of server 10.5 on a G5 Xserve using the simplified "workgroup" setting. Created a named administrator account as part of the setup. Once passed the initial setup screens I did a software update to 10.5.8. After reboot I'm locked out of the named administrator account. I can still log in as root and localadmin using the same password. However, I don't see any accounts listed under the Users tab in Server Preferences. I've done nothing to this system other than answer a few standard questions during install and then update software.
This result is repeatable as I tried simply reinstalling the server OS figuring I must have done something wrong the first time. In fact the reason I'm reinstalling in the first place is related to this problem. Something caused all my admin and user accounts to go away on the original server setup. Couldn't figure it out so I decided to do a fresh install. I realize now it was likely related to a software update.
When logged in as root and using Console I see errors like "'No LDAP Master' while processing a command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_accounts'". I'm a newbie to the server world and I'm not sure what that means.
There should be nothing remotely fancy going on here. Simply a stand alone server getting a fixed IP from a router. A single admin account, no directory services. Before the software update everything seemed fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have same issue and i have resolve so.

set as Administrator, give same name as your /Users/xyz home folder

that's resolve my issue

I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro. Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually. After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password. I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck. On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password. I then rebooted and tried again. No luck.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
Thank you.

What you propose would not solve the problem I am having. I must not have been clear about it. So I will elaborate.
I have a Power PC with 10.5.8. The admin user account name is RLE 5. I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC.
Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account. The admin user account name is Mac Pro. When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything.
I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro. That seemed to to successfully.
So I now have four users on my Mac Pro: RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account. I don't need to sign in. No problem.
I log out of Mac Pro. On my screen are the four user accounts. I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password. I type in the password I used for my Power PC. It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro. I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password. It doesn't make a difference.
Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason. I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck.
Another interesting thing has happened. I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts. But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password. Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password. But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.

After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.tried both primary and backup emails. says both already in use

randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. How do I revert back to an older version?

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in. I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead. I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
Try logging into a site again.

Updated my Itunes and now cannot log into store

I just updated my itunes and now I cannot log into the store. When I try to, I get a message that says The network connection timed out. make sure network settings are correct and connection is active. I have no idea what this means. Please help me.

CHeck Norton or McAfee, whatever security software you have. Remove iTUnes from its list and then re-add it. Make sure everything is added: both iTunes.exe & iTunes Helper.exe.

Update 10.5.6 Cannot log into POP email account

After the upgrade to 10.5.6 I cannot log into my email account anymore. I get a message saying that the mail server does not recognize user or password. My wife has an account with the same provider and it works, however, when she tried to create a test account with the same information she gets the same behavior. Additionally I cannot see any of the email previously stored locally, the folders are there but they are empty. Any help would be appreciated
Steven
PS. We have tried deleting the plist in Preferences and a few other things suggested in this discussion thread already, nothing works.

This issue may be closed.
The correct account information was entered, but the preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) was freshly saved upon closing Mail, ie., the original, corrupt Mail preferences file was retained, so Mail would not connect to the account.
When I closed Mail and deleted the preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) Mail was then able to connect to my account and download. I was also able to Import email from a previous version of OS X and this mail was imported to an "Import" folder.

I cannot log into firefox and after I try I cannot remove the firefox exe process

I was uploading photos which didn't complete and after that I couldn't log into firefox. I tried the answers in the formats and deleted the parent control but cannot get to my firefox profile to add a new one to test if this will repair the situation. I am also not able to get updates for some of my security programs

I'm having the same issues, running Firefox 3.6.
After downloading Windows Updates for Vista, Hotmail has stopped working.
I can log on, but can't click on any messages.
None of the buttons work at all in Hotmail; it's completely frozen.
I have to log on using Internet Explorer.
I had the same problems with Firefox 4.0; Norton 360 wouldn't work properly with it, so I deleted it, and went back to Firefox 3.6.
