Cannot login with AD credentials on iMac

Greetings:
I have a brand new 27" Intel iMac that had been allowing AD logins just find until today. Now, no matter what I do, unbinding, rebooting, manually joining domain (dsconfigad), etc I cannot login using my AD credentials. This had been working flawlessly until today. I can bind to AD no problem. When I go to login with my known good account, I just get the window shake. Logging in with a local account, I see error messages in the console of:
DNS Update Failed & Enter Machine Password
The machine account is already staged in our OU. I am not clear what the DNS error is alluding to.
reading through these postings: http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopardAD.html
I tried disabling creating mobile accounts at login. However that did not fix the issue.
I believe our campus is running Win2K8 AD servers. Our campus DNS appliance is a separate box, but should know how to delegate to AD (?). The other 10.6.3 machines we have, are authenticating against AD fine.
Any ideas?

Marcus is correct - the ZAM administration accounts (ZAM 7.x) are stored (encrypted) within the ZAM database.
Within ZAM 7.x there is no way to integrate this with AD (either by LDAP referral or some kind of identity / password sync) and AFAIK no plans to add this.
I believe in the ZCM version of asset (and I hope the standalone version of ZAM10 still in dev) you set up the AD account(s) that is/are allowed Admin etc. access within ZAM, then LDAP referrals are used to authenticate via AD. I don;t know this for sure, though.

  • I cannot login into iMessage on my iMac.

    I cannot login into iMessage on my iMac. Works with MacBook Air 11". Restart and reinstall made no change. Any ideas where the problem might be?

    Hi,
    The red indicators appears for regular iChat Buddy type chats as well as iMessages types in the Messages beta.
    From my own experience and reading some of the posts here it seem that sometimes that they don't inform you correctly.
    Part of the issue seems to be the way the Apple servers cope with periods of high demand.
    This seems to somewhat akin to using the internet during the late '80s and early '90s when yiou could tell when America woke up.
    I have one red Indicator here that shows.  A Buddy sent some IMS when I was Off Line.
    However I had changed a Setting in Messages to test something and this allowed the IMs to fire up Messages.
    It does not say they went Off line, which iChat used to do, (although they do not show in My Buddy list) so I tried a reply anyways (thinking they were set up for Ofg Line IMs)
    I did not get a message they they don't take Off Line IMs but I got the red indicator.
    Another one I have seen is an iMessage issue.
    I get the noise that  a Message was sent (to phone) but nothing appears in the Messages Main windows as the Chat.
    If the person replies to the Messages it is the only way you know the message got through (other than checking your linked iOS 5 device which shows the Synced version).
    Clicking any red indicator tends to shopw you a drop down from the top of the window that offers to try again of Cancel.
    Summary.
    I have seen some appear that don't seem valid (i.e to my Phone when the phne was on - and on the same Wifi network).
    I have seem posts of the same.
    I have also seen the situation where there should be red indicators and there are not.
    In addition to this some of the messages in Buddy Lists that iChat showed (as in  Buddy going Off line when a Chat window was open) seemed to have disappeared from the Messages beta.
    At present I have not found anything that seems to improve the situation - in fact it is sometimes difficult to tell  if the indicator is "right" or "wrong".
    As Apple have set up the Forum for Messages beta but no other feedback route,  they will, hopefully, be following many of the threads in these discussions.

  • Cannot login with Active Directory Account

    Hello,
    I am testing SnowLeopard (10.6.1) for deployment in my labs for the Spring 2010 semester. We use local home directories. This is a brand new fresh install of SL, on a freshly formatted Hard Drive.
    When bound to Active Directory I can get any AD account that I've tested (5 different accounts) to authenticate except one, which happens to be my own personal AD account.
    The secure.log shows these entries when I attempt to login:
    Oct 9 14:18:29 mac-0017f20fc40 SecurityAgent[209]: User info context values set for ctarbox
    Oct 9 14:18:29 mac-0017f20fc40 authorizationhost[208]: Failed to authenticate user <ctarbox> (tDirStatus: -14090).
    Considering that I could log in with other accounts, and after resetting my AD password then still not being able to authenticate, I came to the conclusion that I had a corrupt OU in Active Directory.
    I contacted one of our AD admins and had him delete both of my AD accounts: ctarbox and ctarbox1 then recreate both accounts. I still cannot login to AD with my ctarbox account.
    I can still login to my current lab machines anywhere on campus running 10.5.8 with ctarbox.
    I am baffled by this. I have been authenticating to Active Directory since 10.1 and have never seen anything like this.
    Any idea, anyone?

    I have found the solution to my problem. I have accounts in two different domains in our AD tree. I'll called these domains Domain A and Domain B.
    Domain A is the primary domain for authentication to our public computing labs.
    Domain B is a secondary domain for authentication to shared resources for faculty/staff.
    Both accounts have the same user ID, but different passwords. In my Directory Utility>Advanced>Administrative window I have the option "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest' checked.
    With this option checked Directory Utility in 10.6.1 will allow me to authenticate Domain B, but not Domain A.
    With this option checked in Directory Utility in 10.5.8 just the opposite is taking place, I can authenticate to Domain A, but not Domain B.
    It seems that somewhere in the upgrade to 10.6.1 the search policy for Active Directory has changed. My workaround is to uncheck this option and specifically choose Domain A in the search policy.

  • Login with domain credentials

    I have a mini version 10.6.3 I have it bound to my domain. I have checked the box 'create mobile account at login' but I can't login with my domain credentials. I tried my username and password, I also tried it in the format domain\username password. I was able to get this work 10.5. Any ideas?

    If the time is off on the client and server, it won't let you log in. Make sure that you have the Mac setup to sync to the time server the domain controllers are on.
    If that's not it, try to unbind and rebind and see if that fixes it.

  • I cannot login with my Microsoft Acount

    I just installed Skype 6.14.1.104 on my desktop.
    And I created a new MicroSoft account: degen_iddink   [at]   hotmail.com
    When I login using Login with Microsof account I get the message my login is not recognized.
    Can you help me to fix this issue so I can use Skype.
    NOTE: I already tried this without success:
    -reinstalled skype
    -restarted PC
    -performed a password reset
    NOTE2: Login on skype.nl / skype.com  and hotmail.com works properly.

    Did you click on "Microsoft account" on the first Skype sign in screen...
    ...to be taken to the Microsoft account sign in:
    On that screen you enter the email address and password for your Microsoft and should be able to sign in to Skype then.

  • Cannot login with password containing non-ascii characters

    Hello,
    I have web application, form based login. UTF-8 is specified "everywhere".
    And it works, except for passwords.
    If user register itself with password containing non-ascii characters, it is correctly written in database, but when doing either programmatic login or normal form based login, if fails.
    If the password is only ascii, it works.
    Username of login could be ascii or non-ascii, it doesn't matter, both works.
    I'm using sun java application server 9.1.
    jdbc realm.
    I'm not using hashing passwords, just clean (now)
    I tried configure realm Charset: UTF8 as last chance, but it doesn't work either.
    The problem is only with non-ascii characters in password.
    Any help very appreciated
    Thanks a lot

    hi,
    I know all that, but that's not the case. My app uses preparedStatements, everything is properly configured, in all pages, utf-8 is going from user to db and back without any problems.
    The only problem is with password field. As I am using form based login, with jdbc realm configured (again, nicely working when only ascii characters), I have very little chance to do something bad through the login phase.
    I'm not talking about special characters, I'm talking about non-ascii characters, let's say - Chinese, arabish, Russian alphabet etc.
    When user registers (my code), the fields are properly written to db. I have checked that, trust me.
    But the Sun app server realm seems to have some problems with the password field.
    (realm uses jdbc connection to mysql, the url contains all extra parameters to be sure about utf8. there is nothing more what can be configured...)
    If I try other alphabet codes in login and ascii in password, it works. But soon, as I use other alphabet code also in password, it doesn't work anymore.
    My only idea is, that I could try MD5 to create ascii only characters (I hope it works that way) on the client with javascript and then set Digest to MD5 in realm configuration. But still, it seems very strange. The clear way storage should also function? (now set Digest to 'none')
    Is it a bug of Sun App Server?
    thanks

  • Cannot login with Network account.

    Hi,
    I am an experimented Mac user, but quite new with Snow Leopard Server.
    I've just purchased the brand new MacMini Server.
    I have configured my server with the name server.local and installed OpenDirectory as Master.
    I wanted to try the network login, so I created a Test1 account in Open Directory. Then from my iMac I joined my server.local through System Preferences/Accounts/Options/... then I log off and try to use the newly created account test1.... I asked the system to change the password from first loggin... which works, but then I receive a message saying that I cannot log in for the moment... I tried everything but I just can't use the network account.
    Any hints?
    Cheers.

    You should avoid .local at all costs when configuring an OS X Server.
    .local is reserved for zeroconfig/Bonjour, and will cause conflicts.
    There's an excellent tutorial for new users here

  • I have set up a file share but cannot login with my account

    Hi everyone. I set up a file share using the settings in OS 10.5, however when I go to login on Windows Vista using my specially created read only account (called: remote). I cannot get it.
    I can only get in using these settings:
    user name = xxx.xxx.x.xxx\myaccount
    password = blah blah blah.
    Yet when I apply the same settings changing 'myaccount' to 'remote', I cannot get in.
    I'm not sure where I am going wrong, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    No need to apologise, I'm the idiot who can't setup a home network. Although I'm sure Vista is at least to blame somehow.
    I have sharing turned on and it says "Windows users can access your computer at smb://192.168.x.xxx."
    If I click "options" it has a box which has an "on" tick box and my name. I have ticked it. When I ticked it, it asked for my admin password which I supplied.
    On the firewall front I have allow all incoming connections.
    I am trying to login to 'remote' whilst my Mac is still logged in as me, 'nathan' I have successfully logged in to the mac on the same settings using account: 'nathan' on Vista whilst still in 'nathan' on the mac.
    I am trying to connect going into network on vista and selecting my mac, correct.
    The connect works with 'nathan' if I go:
    192.168.x.xxx\nathan
    password
    but for some reason the 'remote' user I have set up wont work on vista using the same format.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot login with my Skype Account name,

    I have tried to login to Skype and the following error returns:
    "Sorry, we didn't recognize you sign-in details. Please check etc. etc."
    My account does exist as I have asked my friends if they can see it.  Why has this happened?  I have searched the Skype so-called knowledge base and cannot find an answer.  Does Skype disable accounts if inactive for any period of time?
    Any help is appreciated,

  • Cannot login with mobile account when server is switched off

    Hello all,
    First of all, my condolences to the Jobs family. 
    OK.  On with my problem.  I apologise in advance if this has been answered before.  I've trawlled through various boards and I can't seem to find an answer.
    I'll try to keep it brief.
    I've set up a mac mini with lion server.  Done all necessary updates.
    I have a lion macbook which is the client.
    On server, created an Open Directory etc..
    I created 2 mobile network accounts on the server.  Set preferences etc..  Added both to workgroup.
    Added the client to the domain in system prefs login options.
    Logged into the 2 accounts on the client.  All working well.  Can see my mounts.  Mobile accounts created successfully and syncing working.
    So, the problem I have is, when I shutdown the server, my mobile accounts on the client disappear.  Also, the login screen states, 'Network accounts are unavailable.'
    I've been looking at this for a week now and it's driving me mad.  I must have missed something - can anyone shed any light on this please?
    With thanks, Paul.

    oh well - gave up and reinstalled lion server.
    GROAN!
