Authentication failure when attempting to pair mouse

For the last couple years I've had my Iogear Bluetooth mouse paired nicely with my Powerbook via a USB Bluetooth dongle (the built-in bluetooth doesn't work). Last week I paired my mouse with a friend's MacBook for several hours. When I tried to resume using the mouse with my own Powerbook, it was no longer paired, so I made a trip to Bluetooth Mouse Setup to initiate a new pairing. Unfortunately this no longer works; it finds the mouse successfully, but shortly after it reaches the "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse" step, it displays a message in red lettering:
The pairing attempt was unsuccessful due to authentication failure. When ready, click Continue to try again.
I've retried the process many times during the last few evenings, but to no avail. Discoverable is turned on. I even reinstalled the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo update - still no go. Today I took my Bluetooth USB dongle and mouse to a Windows computer at work, and pairing worked just fine there, so I know it is not a hardware issue. Has anyone encountered this pairing error, and been able to resolve it?

I've been going crazy with this issue the last two days.
I had previously been using a Targus Bluetooth Mouse for Mac, but I have had to revert to an old Powerbook G4 as my main computer. I wanted to continue using my bluetooth mouse so after two tries I finally found a bluetooth dongle that the Mac recognizes. It seems to work like a charm, and is only annoying because of its bright green LED that blinks ceaselessly.
However I was most disappointed to find that when attempting to pair with my mouse, it recognized the mouse, connected, but then stalled out on the pairing process with the same red text message mentioned here.
I tried pairing with my old Palm m515 and that worked perfectly.
I booted up to a 10.4.11 install on an external drive and found the mouse to pair up and work perfectly.
Then I installed 10.5.4 on an external drive and it too connected perfectly. I tried creating a new user on my main drive's 10.5.8 install and that did not solve the problem. At this point I thought my main drive's 10.5.8 install was corrupt for some reason. I backed up my drive via Time Machine and proceeded the 6 hour new system fresh install.
My Leopard install disc is version 10.5.4. The mouse paired and worked great after the initial install. It was all for nought, however, because upon installing the 10.5.8 update on this untouched fresh system, the mouse was no longer recognized and would stall at the pairing process. I even got a kernel panic this time.
I don't know what Apple did between 10.5.4 and 10.5.8, but whatever it is made pairing with a bluetooth mouse via a Bluetooth dongle seemingly impossible. I assume there will be no fix for this since they have moved on to Snow Leopard.
Since people are having this same problem regardless of their dongle brand or mouse brand, I suppose I can be confident that this is not a hardware issue. Especially since the hardware all works perfectly up to at least 10.5.4. I'm not sure when it breaks because I just go straight from 10.5.4 to the 10.5.8 combo update.

PAM authentication failure when attempting to run job

I'm attempting to run a scheduled job from grid control (version 10.2.0.5.0) against a Solaris server and it keeps failing with:-
Error Log
ERROR: Invalid username and/or password
Output Log
LOG: Local Authentication Failed...Attempt PAM authentication...PAM failed with error:
Despite entering an os username and password into the preferred credentails for this server which work when I try to logon to using putty, I can't connect to the server using the preferred credentils screen either. However, the agent can upload data without any problems. Can anyone point me in the correct direction as towards a resolution for this issue.

Thanks for the information, Oracle support came up with this technical note also. Its a bit strange as it mentions using the shared object for ldap in the pam.conf even though I'm not using ldap. Out of interest, do you use grid control, Solaris and pam authentication ?

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.

Authentication failure when adding new 'Segment in Use'

Hi all!
I've set up integration between Siebel 8.1.1.9 and OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0. I've applied My Oracle Support article ID 1400715.1, importing the modified SIF and Workflow definitions and re-deployed the SRF to the server.
When attempting to drill into a folder in the 'Pick Segment' applet, I get the following error:
Operation 'impersonate' of Web Service 'com.siebel.analytics.web/soap/v1.SAWSessionService' at port 'SAWSessionServiceSoap' failed with the following explanation:
"Authentication error. An invalid User Name or Password was entered.".(SBL-EAI-04308)
I cannot for the life of me work out why this is happening. I've followed 1400715.1:
1. Created a new OBIEE user called 'impersonateuser' and added the 'oracle.bi.server.impersonateUser' permission
2. In Siebel, Marketing - Administration > Servers, I've set the User Id and Password fields for the 'Default Analytics Web Server' entry, ensuring that the password contains more than 8 characters and contains a number, with the 'impersonateuser' details. The 'impersonateuser' user can successfully log in to OBIEE / Dashboard
I've checked the Web Service definitions and replaced host name with host:port. The Web Service is definitely getting invoked but there seems to be a problem with the impersonation.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Many thanks!
mroshaw

DOH - failed to RTFM correctly!
I'd not followed the instructions for adding the permission correctly - you have to read very cafrefully how to get to the right page to add the permission.
Working now! :)

Oli

Random Authentication Failures when using AdminConnectionFactory

Has anyone experienced this problem when using the AdminConnectionFactory to create a JMXConnector. I have a Sun ticket open on this issue, but wanted to see if anyone else had any suggestions. Ticket # is 72502922
Our application uses the Sun AdminConnectionFactory to obtain a JMXConnector object. The code is being executed in a loop at a regular frequency. There is no dynamic nature to the code. All the information required to open a connection using the AdminConnectionFactory comes from static property files. So there is no question of one call being any different than a second call.
Every so often the call to create a connection fails with the exception message:

acf.setProperty(AdminConnectionConfiguration.imqAddress, hostname + ":" + port);
jmxc = acf.createConnection(user, password);
} catch (JMSException jmse) {
message = logMsgPrefix + "Cannot create JMXConnector to JMS server [" + hostname + ":" + port + "] using username [" + user + "] and password [" + password + "]";
log.error(message);
throw new GenericJMXException(message, jmse);
} catch (JMException jme) {
message = logMsgPrefix + "Cannot create JMXConnector to JMS server [" + hostname + ":" + port + "] using username [" + user + "] and password [" + password + "]";
log.error(message);
throw new GenericJMXException(message, jme);
What is causing this connection creation to fail. The same application will work just fine a few minutes later.
Thanks

Thank you for the response.
Bug 6906978 is a defect that shows itself under high concurrency situations. In our case, we have a single quart based timer that is being triggered every 2 minutes to open a JMX connector. So my guess is that bug 6906978 and the problem that we have been experiencing are two different things.
But I am willing to try out 4.4U1P1. Any idea where I can download it from?

Windows 7 802.1x (Wired) Authentication Failure when logging into Lync 2010

Hi
My company has implemented 802.1x Wired authentication, we use GPO to specify a
Wired Profile that uses a COMPUTER certificate.
We are finding that when a Windows 7 laptop comes out of sleep or hibernation, the laptop fails 802.1x authentication and does not connect to the network.
This issue only occurs intermittently, but have been proven to occur only when Lync 2010 is open. If we close Lync 2010 the issue does not occur. Lync 2010 installs a self signed USER certificate for authentication.
I am aware that there are some issues around Windows 7 not selecting the correct certificate when responding to authentication requests (KB2710995,
KB2769121) but these always specify that the issue occurs when 802.1x authentication uses USER certificates, not a mix of USER and COMPUTER. We have installed these hotfixes and the
issue still occurs.

Hi,
From the description, you suspect the DHCP request cause this issue. Would you please send us the packets? Since it seems that you have looked into the traffic and found some clues.
Meanwhile, I found the following hotfix which may related to this issue.
No response to 802.1X authentication requests after authentication fails on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980295/en-us
Next Action Plan:
1.Clean Boot
a. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click OK.
b. In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.
c. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox, and then click the "Disable All" button.
======================================================
Clean Boot + binary search
In a Clean Boot, all the 3rd party services and startup programs are disabled. If the server can start normally in Clean Boot, we can be sure that the issue was caused by some 3rd party service or application. And then we can do a "binary search".
You can enable half of all the services in Services tab, and then restart the server to check the result. If the issue reoccurs, it means the culprit is in this list; if not, the culprit is in the other half. And then, we can continue the binary search, until
we find out the root cause. Please let me know if this action plan is OK for you.
2.Collect etl trace on the problematic client.
netsh trace start capture=yes overwrite=yes tracefile=c:\net.etl filemode=circular
****Try to reproduce this issue****
netsh trace stop
Please send the net.etl to us for underlying analysis.
For any concerns, please let us know.

Airport Extreme: PEAP authentication failure when NAT is enabled

Setup: Airport Extreme firmware 5.6, Windows Admin Utility 5.2
Airport's WAN port connected to an internal network with Windows 2003 IAS RADIUS server; Airport's LAN port disconnected.
Windows XP client (using Microsoft zero-configuration client)
client and server set up to use PEAP authentication
If I set up the Airport in bridge mode (uncheck the "Distribute IP Addresses" box in the Network setup tab), the client can authenticate correctly and can obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on my internal network.
If I check the "Distribute IP Addresses" box, select "Share a single address with DHCP & NAT" and the 192.168.1.1/24 address range, the client can no longer authenticate. I haven't changed anything else on either the Airport or the RADIUS server.
Network traces taken on the wired (WAN) and wireless side of the Airport show that the first few exchanges of the EAP handshake go through fine, but the server's reply to the client's "TLS Hello" message are being blocked by the Airport. Up to that point, I don't see any significant difference between the exchanges with NAT enabled or disabled; it's just that the Airport passes the server's message to the client correctly when NAT is off and blocks it when NAT is on.

My mistake - posted to the wrong forum! I've restarted the thread on the Airport Extreme forum.

Page failure when attempting to save java script in html header

Currently there is java script code for a function that is seeded in the html header of a forms page by apex when the form is generated. This code is for the chicken test for the DELETE button.
The function works as designed, but if I try to "APPLY CHANGES" to the the page definition I get the The page cannot be displayed "Cannot find server or DNS Error". "the url is http://nldg-3.appl.devjones.com:7777/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept" If I remove the script coding from the HTML header the page will save just fine, but of course no more java script.
I need to add a java script function to the page and I am unable to do so at this time because of this issue. I can reproduce this error on any of the sample apps that I have loaded into apex.
the Apache error log contains:
[Fri Feb 13 06:11:06 2009] [error] [client 172.16.85.122] [ecid: 1234527066:192.168.211.127:31922:0:17188,0] mod_plsql: /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept HTTP-500 Error Reading Data from Client!!
The Apache access gets:
172.16.85.122 - APEX_PUBLIC_USER [13/Feb/2009:06:23:47 -0600] "POST /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept HTTP/1.1" 500 653
Apex is version 3.1.2.00.02 and uses on iAS on a Linux server. The Database is 10g. The browser is IE 6.0.2900.2180.
I have been developing for about 3 months in Apex and this is the first issue of this kind that I have run into. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I have no clue at this time.

Luis,
All the forms are created by Apex with a default function in the html header for a delete chicken test as follows:
<scrpt language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Even though the function is already a part of the page, if I try to save it, it will fail. I will look into the "black list" a little deeper. I have asked around abit as I also had suspected that, but so far all the answers were that it should not be a problem. If I take out the "SCRIPT" word I can get the page to save, but of course the code is worthless at that point.

"Authentication Failure" Issue on most devices.

I'm getting an "Authentication Failure" when installing my J2ME app OTA to most devices I've tried, including Pantech, Samsung, and Nokia ones (all AT&T or unlocked). I've included my (censored) JAD file below.
The entire application downloads to the device, and I can view the certificate info and there are three Thawte certificates, as expected.
All http reference exists.
The Thawte Root Certificate is present on the device.
I signed the JAD during NetBeans build by choosing so in the Signing section of the project properties.
I've tried using jarsigner in lieu of and in addition to the NetBeans method.
I've experimented with various MIDlet-Permissions as required/optional, and including/excluding various JAD parameters like MIDlet-Data-Size.
I've even tried desperate things like changing the CLDC/MIDP config, messing with the version number, and changing the icon file type.
I've read dozens on posts on the subject and I am really stumped. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

MIDlet-Version: 0.2.18
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.1
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0

one of the stupid reason of the invalid descriptor (ota 907) in samsung : (to my opinion samsung is just a visual device, has buggy implementations and lack of documentation, comparing to nokia and sony ericsson)
if you specify an https url in jad for "midlet-jar-url", then samsung gives this error.
And why? i don't know, anybody doesnot know.
No documentation.
Read midp specs and no such a thing.
Read samsung docs if you find any, no result.
And you spend your time for stupid samsung issues, again.
Anyway, look at this, the problem can be resolved as :
Here is a typical jad runs on nokia devices well and fails with 907 in samsung:
MIDlet-1: Test OTP, /smlogo.png, testMIDlet
MIDlet-Icon: /smlogo.png

MIDlet-Install-Notify: https://xx/wap/notify.jsk?jaduid=123
MIDlet-Delete-Notify: https://xx/wap/notify.jsk?jaduid=123
and if you change https into http, then it runs well.
All is this.

What's the difference between "login block-for X attempts X within X" and "security authentication failure rate X"?

What's the difference between, just for example, "login block-for 100 attempts 15 within 100" and "security authentication failure rate 3"?
Please ignore the numbers, I need to know what the differences are in commands and what they do, what they affect.

security authentication failure rate number_of_failed_attempts : A global configuration mode command used to specify the maximum number of failed attempts (in the range of 2 to 1024) before introducing a 15-second delay
login block-for 100 attempts 15 within 100 : Block all access after 15 failed login attempts within 100 Secs for the period of 100Secounds (1.40 Minutes).
The Cisco IOS Login Enhancements (Login Block) feature allows users to enhance the security of a router by configuring options to automatically block further login attempts when a possible denial-of-service (DoS) attack is detected.
The login block and login delay options introduced by this feature can be configured for Telnet or SSH virtual connections. By enabling this feature, you can slow down "dictionary attacks" by enforcing a "quiet period" if multiple failed connection attempts are detected, thereby protecting the routing device from a type of denial-of-service attack.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.

The kerberos PAC verification failure when all users of only one RODC Site, trying to get access iis webpage of different site using Integrated Windows Authentication

The kerberos PAC verification failure when all users of only one Site which having only one RODC server(A), trying to get access iis webpage of different site which having WDC server(B) using Integrated Windows Authentication. But when they accessing the
website using IP address, it is not asking for credentials as I think it is using NTLM Authentication at that time which is less secure than Kerberos.
Note that:- All user accounts and Computers of the RODC has been allowed cache password on the RODC. Nearest WDC for the RODC (A) is the WDC (B).

This issue has been raised for last one week. Before that everything was fine. No Group Policy changed, Time also same.
In this situation do I need to do Demotion of the RODC and re-promote it as RODC again or is there any other troubleshooting to resolve it.

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your response
I noticed that Logon server could become incorrect again after user re-login or restart of a workstation.
It seems root cause is different. Need a permanent solution.
The Workstations of the RODC site are getting IP from a DHCP server by automatic distribution of IP from a specific subnet for the site only. The RODC is
the Primary DNS server for the site.
I have checked the subnet and it is properly bound with only with that AD site. The group of users and workstations are in the same site AD organisational Unit.
Sometime I restarted the NET LOGON service and DNS server service on ther RODC server and sometime rebooted the server. But the Logon server issue has not fixed permanently.
The internal network bandwidth of the site is better than the bandwidth to communicate with other site.
The server is Windows server 2008 R2 standard and hosting the below roles
RODC
DNS
File server
The server performance is Healthy in core times when maximum users usually logins.
Any further support would be much appreciated Amy
Thanks

Authentication window not populating when attempting to move a file

When attempting to move a file that will need administrator authentication, the authentication window to enter a password does not populate. Thus, I am unable to move the file.

Linc,
I didnt get back with you this week as we've discovered a number of other "interesting" issues with the iMac. They all seem to (possibly) be related to privilege issues: 1. Cannot move photos to ~Library/Desktop Pictures, 2. Cannot access System Preferences/Security&Privacy (click on the lock to make a change and the User Name and Password "Unlock" window will not appear.) 3. When attempting to install the MS Office For Mac update, the installer will not respond. 4. Cannot boot from an external drive. The computer wants to reinstall the OS X Yosemite when attempting to boot from an external drive.
