Authentication Failure (Password Mismatch)

Hi there.
I am having a nightmare trying to get my web server working under Snow Leopard. To cut a long story short the server died and I had to restore it using a disk image before I migrate it to a new mavericks server. For obvious reasons I'd like to get everything working before I migrate.
Whenever a users tries to access a secure page (mainly for svn access) they get rejected. If I try to access the page via safari/chrome I get a pop up window asking for a username and password. If the user enters their correct name and password it is constantly rejected (the name and password work elsewhere for email etc).
In the logs on the server I get:
[Wed Feb 05 16:34:33 2014] [error] [client 192.168.0.56] mod_auth_apple: User XXX authentication failure for "/xxx/xxxxxx": Password mismatch according to checkpw
[Wed Feb 05 16:34:33 2014] [notice] [client 192.168.0.56] mod_auth_apple: Authenticating using lookupd or checkpw failed, and no configured htaccess file (AuthUserFile)
If in Versions I try to refresh the svn repository I get:
OPTIONS of 'https://[email protected]/svn/project'://[email protected]/svn/project': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://server.name.com)
I am also having issues with iCal Server and AFP which makes me think there is some authorisation service which is corrupt/broken?
Any help MOST appreciated as I am tearing my hair out here!
Yours,
Nic

Ok something I have worked out by a bit of trial and error.
NEVER run a server with two HDDs both with clones/installs of Mac OS.
My server had the internal (faulty HDD) with the original server install called Macintosh HD. The clone was on a USB drive called SnowLeopardServer_Backup.
Now for the most part the server worked (because most stuff uses Unix and proper paths). However it looks like all of apples stuff (Web services, iCal server and AFP) use the full path or at least components of them do. So because the server was originally set up on an HDD called Macintosh HD I can only suspect that it was freaking out by 1) now being on an HDD called something else and 2) that there was another HDD there called Macintosh HD.
I have now renamed my old HDD to something else and renamed all the OS folders in it to something different too. I also renamed the clone drive to Macintosh HD.
So far I turned on Web services and AFP and they work perfectly I have not turned on iCal yet as I want to ensure each service is working before turning on another.
Also finally got the holy grail of Kerberos and Open Directory triangle working. I though that the iCal/Web/AFP not working with accounts was Open Directory related so I backed it up (and WGM), change to standalone and then tried to go back to a Master. It complained about the DNS not being set up and I finally found a post saying that you need to have your DNS set to point at 127.0.0.1 in the System Preferences > Network settings. I changed that and boom no more complaints about bad DNS

Email authentication failure, password/server settings NOT changed

Scenario: I've been using Thunderbird for years now to connect to Verizon and download my email. Server settings have always been:
POP3
incoming.verizon.net port 110
connection security none
authentication method encrypted password
SMTP
outgoing.verizon.net port 25
connection security none
authentication method password, transmitted insecurely (oops)
Suddenly when I try to get my email, it stops and tells me there's an authentication failure. I've seen this happen before with Verizon when a server is down or messed up or whatever (pretty poor message for a service interruption, but whatev). So I decided to wait it out, but when it didn't clear up after several hours, went to the website where I was able to log in (huh?) and decided to change my password for the hell of it. Guess what? New password doesn't work in the email client. Quelle surprise.
Sooo, I find THIS page (https://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/email/setup+and+use/questionsone/86...) which tells me a lot of malarkey about server settings. I tried changing the incoming to their recommended settings, and it looks like there's no server communications a-tall.
Can someone tell me what's amiss, and while you're at it, tell me where in a just and well-ordered universe a service provider changes server settings without notifying users well in advance? Extra points for creativity.

These are the new settings and they do work in Thunderbird.
Mail server settings
Incoming mail server (POP3)      pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)       smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
Connection security:   SSL/TLS      for POP & SMTP
The change you are probably missing as it wasn't on that page:
Make sure your Authentication method is set to "Normal password" for POP & SMTP

Form based authentication: handle authentication failure

Dear all,
in form based authentication, if authentication fails, i want to get the failure reason, e.g.
there maybe network error, db down or password/username mismatch...etc..
i want to get the reason for the failure.
in the web.xml..i specify as <form-error-page>/errorServlet</form-error-page>
but i can't get the exception in the error page (jsp) (through the exception implicit object) or in the error servlet.
(in the server log..there is a log message showing the exception...e.g. error in binding to ldap server using username/password..etc)
my question is : how can i get the exception in my error page / servlet so as to show user some meaningful message??
thank you.
lsp

Do you have the <login-error-page> assigned to a different page than your <error-page> handling error codes and exceptions? I would have thought an error in the j_security_check would go to the <error-page> while only login errors would go to <login-error-page>. This way, you would know the reason you got to any given page (ie - login-error-page only means name/password mismatch, while network errors, db problems, etc go to the Exception handling error page).
It is hard for me to test this here, but perhaps you could test it your self by forcing an exception to occur (like shutting down the DB before the login occurs).
-- I did get around to testing this. At least on Tomcat 6, any exception that occurs in the j_security_check appears to end up in the same error page as incorrect credentials. I also couldn't find any hidden page or request attributes that might hint at the cause... Sorry.

The test couldn't sign in to Outlook Web App due to an authentication failure. Extest_ account.

Hi.
I'm using SCOM 2012 R2 and have imported the Exchange server 2010 MP.
I have runned the TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 script and almost everything is okay except for the OWA test login.
The OWA rule is working for some time until (I think) SCOM is doing a automatic password reset of the extest_ account. Then I get the OWA error below. The other test connectivity are working. Any suggestions.

Hi,
Based on the error, it looks like an OWA authentication failure.
Have you tried post this to LYNC forums?

Go URL - User Authentication Failure

Hi,
I am trying to use a 'Go URL' in web application and I see some issue with authentication mechanism.
I was able to login and view the dashboard whenever the username used in the 'Go URL' is from the console. But if the user who is from Active directory is used in the 'Go URL' link, then I get the login page saying 'Invalid username or password'. When I check the log file, it says ' [53012] User Authentication Failure'.
Also the AD user can login from the login page, but not thru 'Go-URL' link.
Can anyone let me know whether I am missing any step?
Thanks

If you dont user NQUser and NQPassword then they will be prompted for a password. you need to http://<hostname.domain>:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=<your GO URLpath>*&NQuser=USERNAME&NQPassword=PASSWORD*
You should not access if URL without logging in.
Also on different note:

"Remote Apple Events" User Authentication failure

I will send some Remote Apple-Events from a local machine to a remote Mac Mini (OS X Server 10.5.4) with "eppc://admin:[email protected]". But i get the error message "User Authentication failure -927".
Mounting the remote Volume is no problem with the same user and password strings "afp://admin:[email protected]" so i think that the user and passwort is correct.
I have reset the Keychains and have no further ideas. Any hints?

Have you checked that the account you're using is allowed to send AppleEvents?
(System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Apple Events)
I set the access for AppleEvents for all Users on the local machine as well on the remote server. Send AppleEvents from server to the local machine seems working.
Are there special settings on OS X Server for user privileges in the "Workgroup Manager", i'm not very skilled with UID and GID?

WAP321 Authentication failure log codes

Devices that have previoulsy connected to the WAP are still able to connect but any new device to the environment is not. If I delete the network from an existing device that device is no longer able to authenticate and connect to the WAP. Log entries below show the following errors for a single MAC. This happened once before and to solve the issue I reentered the key into the SSID setup on the WAP. All devices had to delete the existing SSID from their list of networks but then they were able to rejoin. I don't want to ask users to do that again. Any help on the log entries below is greatly appreciated!

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.
Reason Code 16: Authentication failed due to a user credentials mismatch.
Reason-Code 22: The client could not be authenticated because the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Type cannot be processed by the server.
I am not sure what is causing this. However I would ask that you do two things. While everything is working normally go to Administration/Support Information and download a diagnostic file. Label it with a date WAP321 and the word "good". Save it somewhere. When this happens again, before doing anything go back in and get another diagnostic file label it the same except with the word "bad".
Call in and open a support case and have the engineer notify me that you have opened one and also give them a reference to this community support thread.
I will work with your engineer to see what is happening.
Thanks

ACS 4.2, Alteon authentication failure by RADIUS protocol

Hello
I have a question about ACS RADIUS authentication with Alteon 3408 L4 Switch.
I configured a ACS 4.2.1(build 15 patch 4) software for windows on Windows Server 2008 Server STD.
TACACS authentication with CISCO product was successfully passed.
but RADIUS (IETF) authentication with NORTEL 3408 Switch was failed.
ACS Authentication Failure Code was a " ACS password invalid "
I read the post that RADIUS VSA is needed in my environment.
but i can not search any sample Nortel VSA dictionary configuration.
somebody can give me a Notel specific VSA configuration.
thanks in advance.
yun choul in Korea.

I have completed successfully.
yes, the DEFECT POINT IS a """"""""""""" Administrative """""""""""""" on IETF RADIUS Attributes.
Thanks for all same problem posted.

AAA Authentication Failure

I just moved from a windows 2003 IAS server over to window 2008 NPS and I am getting this message on the WLC. AAA Authentication Failure for UserName:VESLABCT10_15DO\Administrator User Type: WLAN USER. this is a test user. I double checked the password both for NPS and WLC. It worked great under windows 2003 IAS. I installed certifcates services on the windows 2008 and exported the certificate and install the certificate on the client. Any suggestions

Maybe check on the NPS logs the reason of the failure ? WLC is just a forwarder in this case :-)

LSASS.exe Authentication Failure ever 30 minutes

I'm getting two authentication failures every 30 minutes from lsass.exe on various ports (changes every time). The attempted authentication is for the admin account, which was recently changed. This is sourced from the server back to the server on either 127.0.0.1 or the server's IP. Anyone have any idea on this?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Verify your RADIUS configuration with the Test button on the AAA Server Groups configuration screen. Once you supply a username and password, this button allows you to send a test authentication request to the ACS server.
Choose Configuration > Remote Access VPN > AAA Setup > AAA Server Groups.
Select your desired AAA Server group in the top pane. Select the AAA server that you want to test in the lower pane. Click the Test button to the right of the lower pane. In the window that appears, click the Authentication radio button, and supply the credentials with which you want to test. Click OK when finished

Intermittent AD Authentication failures in ISE 1.2

Starting today I was getting intermittent authentication failures in ISE. It would say that the user was not found in the selected identity store. The account is there though. At one point I ran a authetication test from the external identity source menu and I got a failure and then the next time a pass. I have no idea why this is happening. I just updated to ISE 1.2 the other day. I'm also seeing what looks like a high level of latency on both of my PSN's. Is this normal? Any ideas?
Thanks
Jef

Interesting. I have one location that is not having this problem at all. The other is having it somewhat frequently. The PSN's for each location are tied to the local AD servers. I have not had this until we started getting 300-380 PC's connecting. We are a school so we are slowly getting started. It's real random. One user will work then another time they won't. Happens with admin and user. I have notices that with this new version of ISE it is complaining that it is getting accounting updates from the NAS too often, but I have not looked into this because I just installed 1.2 about 3-4 days ago and haven't had time to look into it.
When you say Multicast to you AD...how did you check that? We do use multicast.

HI, Im using Iphone 4 and i recently got my IOS updated to IOS7 and now im getting the error message as "PDP authentication failure" Im using Aircel carrier.

HI, Im using Iphone 4 and i recently got my IOS updated to IOS7 and now im getting the error message as "PDP authentication failure" Im using Aircel carrier.
Please let me know how to fix this issue

update...
I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
Frustrated.

How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

ISE internal user authentication failure - user not found

Hi Forumers'
I trying to do wireless 802.1x, where identity store using intenral user.
But i found this error message when i trying to connect
Authentication failed :
22056 Subject not found in the applicable identity store(s)
My authrorization rules is built like this
identity groups = user identities group / " mygroup"
condition = no setting
permissions = standard / PermitAccess
Question 1
Any troubleshooting step to do on this?
Question 2
For the Authorization rules, what's the condition should set for using Internal User as Identity store?
Thanks
Noel

The error is caused to an authentication failure and is not an issue with authorization
You need to look at your authentications policy (Policy->Authentications) and see which identity store was authenticated against
In addition can do the Live Authentications page (Monitor->Authentications) and for the failing record click on the icon under details. This will give you the full details of the requets processing and you can see which rule was matched in the identity policy (Identity Policy Matched Rule) and "Selected Identity Stores".

[SOLVED] Authentication failure while try to login in GDM

Hi,
I just installed Arch Linux 64 bit on Virtualbox (I using GNOME and GDM). I have set on rc.conf daemon arrays to start dbus and gdm and it run well.
My problem is I can't login using root. When I try to login, it prompt Authentication failure
I can't re-configure my rc.conf because I can't login, and I stuck in GDM screen..
When I try to use "Ctrl+Alt+F1", it effects to my host (ubuntu), not to my guest Arch
How to skip GDM to started for this condition and how to solve this authentication failure ?
Last edited by alphazero (2011-11-20 11:51:19)

Since I run on virtualbox. I can't use Ctrl-F1, so I try to edit rc.conf using LiveCD
After I modify rc.conf and remove gdm in daemon array, I reboot and login as root.. adduser and finally it works login as user
And I add again gdm after it worked to log as user.
So problem solved.. Thanks to wonder for your help.
