BEFW11S4 - Constantly prompts for password submission and always fails

I decided to do a full reset (45s button on back). I promptly reset the admin password on first login. All subsequent "APPY" actions in the admin console forces me to a popup login screen where I have to enter password. This always fails and eventually I'm redirected to a 401 page (see below). For example if I want to disable wireless or set a WEP key on the main page a popup appears for password but it always results in a 401. I've tried clearing all browser information and attempted this on both IE 7 and Firefox 2.0.0.9 with similar results.
1. I don't remember always getting prompted for password before; after initial login.
2. Popup submission of password on subsequent authorizations always results in a 401.
Thanks in advance!
" 401 Authorization RequiredThis server could not verify that you are authorized to access. Either you supplied the wrong credentials(e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required."

I managed to fix this...
I found another support thread that indicated "disabling" Norton Internet Security prior to accessing the Linksys console. It appears NIS was filtering or preventing the username/password being sent in the clear.
How I did it...
1. Right click the NIS icon in the desktop tray.
2. Select "disable" NIS from the menu and enter a time from the drop-down (i.e. 5 minutes).
3. Return to IE. Clear all cached data (just in case).
4. Proceed to login to Linksys!
Cheers

After Migrating To Exchange 2013 All Outlook 2010 Users Constantly Prompted For Password (BUT OUTLOOK WORKS).

I have two servers. One is Exchange 2010 and the other is Exchange 2013.
Three of our users had mailboxes on Exchange 2013 for the last few weeks with no problems. They used Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2010. After moving the rest of our ~25 users to Exchange 2013 the users with Outlook 2010 began to be prompted for their
password constantly.
They try entering it and it immediately reappears.
The odd thing is it shows connected and they are able to send and receive emails correctly.
I've tested our exchange connectivity using www.testexchangeconnectivity.com and all is well there.
I'm not really sure what's going on.
Any help is appreciated.
Luke
Thanks, Luke Pickard

This can appear if Outlook clients are trying to connect to OAB virtual directory, and don't succeed for some reason. Mailbox and mailflow will work, but password prompt will appear when Outlook tries to contact OAB. Try to investigate in that direction.
Also, perform Outlook Configuration test (right click Outlook icon in task bar while holding CTRL and select Test email autoconfiguration.

Outlook 2013 / Exchange 2010 constantly prompting for password

I as well as many users keep getting prompted for User/pass in outlook. This usually happens when I go from LAN to WIFI or from office to home. For example, If I close my laptop (not shut down) and head home then log back in and connect to my
VPN I usually get prompted for my user/pass for outlook. I type the correct user/pass but it does not accept and immeadiatly prompts for me to re enter. If I close down Outlook and re open the issue is fixed however this is not fixing this issue
and the owner of the company is receiving this error as well. I would like to find a solution so that either it does not prompt and automatically updates once it is reconnected with the network via VPN.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Outlook is simply not good at that with the existing protocols in Exchange 2010. Exchange 2013 uses MAPI over HTTP which may make that experience better.
Switching networks with Outlook open is typically not a good user experience.

from site server i want to connect testing server with ssh password less authentication.
i generated public and private keys with ssh-keygen -t rsa on site server.
cat id_rsa >> authorized_keys

i appended id_rsa.pub ( public key site server ) to authorized_keys ( testing server ) with below command .
ssh [email protected] "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

I would expect you to add the RSA public key to the "authorized_keys2" file and not the "authorized_keys" file.

Internally installed Outlook 2010 prompts for password using external smtp email as user id

Hi,
After exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 migration all internally connected outlooks 2010 (xp, vista, win7, win8) prompt for password using external email user address as user id.
Below some of my settings and informations.
Internal domain: contoso.local
External domain: contoso.com
Exchange is NOT published to Internet at all.
Internally OWA, ECP runs OK.
Test-OutlookWebservices with user.name(at)contoso.local or contoso\user.name - runs OK
Test-OutlookWebservices with user.name(at)contoso.com - fails
Common scenario - (all happens internally):
1.User starts Outlook
2.Outlook prompts for password with default user.name(at)contoso.com as id
- while user tries to authenticate using his domain password - outlook re-prompts
- while user changes id from user.name(at)contoso.com to user.name(at)contoso.local or contoso\user.name and authenticates - Outlook connets to exchange and till next Outlook it runs ok.
I am bus with that issue since 1 week and I am already bit tired. I was looking for answer via gogle/bing and went through tons of "Outlook perpetually prompts for password" threads and blogs. No success.
Do you have any clue where else start to play with that?

Hi,
Thank you for answer - no luck
>NExt og to Connection tab - Exchange Proxy settings - Proxy authentication settings - is it set
>to NTLM or Basic?Give it a try on one of them.(if set to NTLM change to basic and vise versa).
On both settings the same results - Outlook is prompting for password.
>Another thing you could try is og to Internet Explorer - tool -internet options- Security - click local
>intranet - >custom Level and scroll Down to bottom and put check mark on automaticly logon
>With current username >and password.
>Do this on Trusted sites as well,if Your domain is listed under trusted sites
The same results - Outlook isprompting for password.
Should not be some kind of mapping set somehow in AD between user.name(at)contoso.com and user.name(at)contoso.local?
I have impresion that issue is somewhere in the fact that outlook is trying to connect using contoso.com instead of contoso.local in ntlm credentials.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

Post Author: jehanzeb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

KB2986204 - After installing users being prompted for a username and password

After client machine have installed this update they are now being prompted for a Username and password when launching outlook. Setting up a fresh copy of outlook also prompts.
Is anyone else having this same issue?

For anyone still watching this issue, we're now up to 5 updates that cause this behaviour, we're having to block these on WSUS to prevent our customers being prompted for passwords on domain joined machines using NTLM.
KB2986204
KB2899504
KB2956087
KB2956170
KB2965270
Further progress since my last post in February. We upgraded to CU7 and now CU8 and the problem remains, but we think we have tracked the issue and have a case open with MS. If anyone else is able to test and confirm our findings it would be helpful to know,
below are the key aspects to look for:
- Outlook 2013 has one of the above updates installed.
- The UserPrincipalName ([email protected]) is different to the PrimarySMTPAddress ([email protected]) of the mailbox.
- The computer is domain joined.
- Mapi/HTTP is configured in the Exchange 2013 organisation.
- NTLM/Negotiate is used as the authentication mechanism.
If all of the above aspects are true for your configuration and you are able to re-produce the password prompting try altering the Mailbox PrimarySMTPAddress so that it's the same as the UserPrincipalName.
In our testing the issue went away when the UserPrincipalName and PrimarySMTPAddress matched, not that it gives us a solution as our customers are quite attached to their vanity email addresses, but it does highlight a specific type of behaviour under specific
circumstances.

AS/400 db2 database asks signon to AS/400 prompt for USER ID and PASSWORD when BO report is refreshed by client users

Post Author: LalitJoshi
CA Forum: Publishing
I have created a report which is using AS/400 db2 database.Connection is setup in a universe and through Client Access ODBC driver.
Users are trying to connect AS/400 db2 system through ODBC(Client Access ODBC driver) and full client BO 6.5.
It asks for signon to AS/400 prompt for USER ID and PASSWORD when BO report is refreshed by users.
Is there any way i can avoid the USER ID and PASSWORD as it is not feasible to give database USER ID and PASSWORD to each users.

It looks like your JDBC driver is not found. Have you deployed the driver to XI?

You don't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them & cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You need to purchase the app using your ID.

RDP prompting for password

I am trying to setup an rdp connection that will connect to a windows
2003 domain server without being prompted for credentials. The server however is constantly prompting me for a password.
So far have checked the following
1) Group Policy in "Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal
Services\Encryption and Security\Always prompt client for password upon connection" is not configured.
2) The registry key "fPromptForPassword" in both DefaultUserConfiguration
and WinStations is set to 0.
3) Credentials are stored in the local credentials cache
I presume the problem is that on the RDP-TCP properties of
the server I am trying to connect to, "Always prompt for password" is ticked
and is also greyed out so I am unable to change it.
Can anyone tell me how this box is ticked and greyed out given the
above settings and if this will be the cause of my issue.
Thanks

Hi,
It sounds like the setting is configured via group policy. Please log on to the server as a domain admin and use gpresult to check the group policy settings that are being applied using the following commands:
gpresult /z>gpresult.txt
notepad gpresult.txt
Thanks.

Outlook Clients for Exchange 2013 Prompt for Password

I have a co-existence of versions 2007 and Exchange Server 2013 CU2 and currently have the following problem:
- Customers now where I performed the migration to the 2013 version, when starting Outlook is always asking for password. The settings for Outlook Anywhere are as follows:
RunspaceId : b43cd829-a81f-4b00-bb4d-73389c9df50d
ServerName : EXCH-HTCA13
SSLOffloading : False
ExternalHostname : webmail.first.pt
InternalHostname : exch-htca13.first.pt
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
XropUrl :
ExternalClientsRequireSsl : True
InternalClientsRequireSsl : True
Can anyone help me identify the problem?

Hi,
Agree with Andy,you can change the ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod to NTLM,
In addition, I recommend you refer to the following article:

Why does Outlook keep prompting for password

We have seen our community members ask questions about Outlook keeps prompting for credentials many times. This issue could be caused by numerous reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for this problem:
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
Incorrect password cached in credential storage
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
Corrupt Outlook profile
Slow or unstable network connection
Antivirus programs
Shared calendars
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
If you are using an Exchange account, there is a setting in your Outlook profile to always prompt for logon credentials. To find the setting, please follow:
1. In Outlook 213, go to File tab > Info >
Account Settings > Account Settings…
2. Highlight your Exchange account and click Change button.
3. Click on More Settings button.
4. Select the Security tab.
5. Under the User Identification, make sure the “Always prompt for logon credentials” option is not selected.
If you are using other types of email, please make sure you have ticked the option “Remember password”.
Incorrect credential cached in Credential Manager
Your Windows system stores user credentials on your computer. If the cached credentials are incorrect, you will be prompted for password. This issue usually happens after the password for your domain user account is changed. Before your password changed,
you saved your credentials. The stored credentials are not overwritten when Outlook triggers the authentication prompt even if you enable the Remember my credentials option.
To fix this issue, you need to remove the corrupted credentials, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Credential Manager.
Note If View by is set to Category, click User Accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.
Locate the set of credentials that has Outlook in the name.
Click the name to expand the set of credentials, and then click Remove from Vault.
Repeat step 3 for any additional sets of credentials that have the word Outlook in the name.
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Different email provider may need different authentication settings. Please make sure you have set the server settings correctly. You can contact your email provider to gather the information.
In general, we select the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option and the first bullet “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
In addition, click on the Advanced tab and check if you have enter the correct Server Port Number and select the correct encrypt type. Below is a screenshot for an IMAP account:
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
The Outlook Anywhere feature allows you to access your Exchange account remotely from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall.
When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your Exchange server, we need to choose
the authentication method among Basic Authentication, NTLM Authentication and Negotiate Authentication. The difference among them is the way that the passwords are sent when connecting to the server. With Basic Authentication,
the password is sent in clear text. Using NTLM Authenticationcan significantly reduce the number of password prompts.
To check the authentication setting, please go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings,
select the Exchange account, and then click
Change. In the Change Account wizard, click
More Settings, and then click the Connection tab. Click the Exchange Proxy Settings button and now, you can see the settings under
Proxy authentication settings. Try to change the authentication to
NTLM Authentication and then check the issue again.
Slow or unstable network connection
If your network connection is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose connection to the mail server. When Outlook try to reconnect, it will prompt for the credentials. To verify this, please switch to a stable network environment and then check if this issue
persists.
Corrupt Outlook Profile
Corrupt profile may cause Outlook to no longer remember your password. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to fix the issue. To create a new mail profile, you can refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
Antivirus software
Antivirus software usually integrates into your Outlook and it may cause some conflicts. Try to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone.
Shared Calendar
Shared calendars can impact the user credentials, this issue may also occur if you have shared calendars opened in Outlook. You can try to unselect the shared calendar to check the result. It’s recommended to not open the shared calendar unless you want
to view them.
If you have any comments, welcome to post in the forum. Thank you.

Nope...
I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
time I start Outlook. None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me. I don't even have to supply a password. When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it. Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
"Need Password" with a key icon to the left. Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
The freaking software is BROKEN! Period.

Outlook 2010 prompting for password

Hi everybody. I ran into an issue yesterday morning where at one of our sites Outlook 2010 has started prompting for a username and password. If the user types in their username as "MYDOMAIN\myuser" and their password, it lets them in but the Exchange
status shows as "Disconnected". If the user sets their username to just "myuser" without the domain on the front it lets them in and works as expected until they close Outlook, at which point they have to enter their credentials again.
The strangest thing about this is that it's only affecting one of our sites and only Outlook 2010. Users running 2007 and 2003 do not have the problem and only users at this physical location have the problem. Does anybody know where I can look? I have tried
clearing stored credentials, created new Outlook profiles and reset passwords. None of these things seem to have had any effect.

After changing a ton of outlook settings, deleting the user's account profile on outlook, deleting their domain profile from the effected computer, trying to fix the registry, deleting stored credentials, etc.... almost everything else I found something
that FINALLY worked for me after over a year and about 12 different users being effected.
in the past I would just give up after much frustration and upgrade them to Office 2013 but that gets very expensive especially when I have 57 other users that could potentially run into the same issue.
Here is what I did.
- back up the user's data. log out and log into local admin
- delete the user from the local registry
- repair Office 2010 through control panel/programs, restart
- have user log back in with their credentials to make new local profile. recover their backed up documents. log out and log back in as local admin.
- install hotfix KB2597011
- restart computer
- install hotfix KB2583935
-restart computer
- log in, open outlook and setup user's account.
Some of these steps may be skipped as I didn't find the hot-fixes until after I repaired office, however I am just providing what I did in the process to end up with a working outlook again.
Some things unique to my situation that may or may not help.
- I noticed some of the computers have Office2010 32bit installed on 64 bit machines.
- Some of the users were swapped over using a profile mover program when we moved to a domain environment.
- For me this always happens when the user's passwords expire and they have to log in to the portal to change it. Then outlook starts with the repeated prompt for passwords. It is always computer specific and nothing but what I provided above has worked
other than re installing windows 7 and then office or upgrading to office 2013.
