Connect To Server Hangs Before Prompting For Name And Password

Hi Everyone.
Connect to Server hangs for 25 seconds before prompting for name and password.
I am trying to access a share on a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller via a Mac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) using SMB.
Example: smb://192.168.101.11/sharename
Once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
I have specified port 139 and login name, I have disabled IP6 on the Mac, the Mac and Windows 2008 server are on the same LAN and are wired.
Again, once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Damian

Something to add ...
Connecting to a Windows 2008 stand-alone server outside of the domain (e.g., workgroup) does not have the same problem - the name and password prompt shows immediately.

Users prompted for username and password after sharing removed from servers

Hello Community
    On Sharepoint 2010 Server using the UI in a 2 server farm with an intranet running on it and everything functions as it should. However it was noticed that from a users computer when in "Windows Explorer" if "Network"
is clicked the 2 servers are visible.
    The problem is that when the server are clicked on in Windows Explorer the files and folders on the hard drive of the servers are visible too.
    Subsequently I logged onto the server and when into "Properties' - "Sharing" and
unchecked the checkbox to "Share this folder".
    That solved the problem of the users being able to see and access the files
and folders on servers hard drives but now when the users log onto the intranet
they are prompted for a user name and password and even when they provide the user
name and password and the page is returned the prompt appears on the screen again(then they cancel out).
    What can be done about the user being prompted for username and password without sharing the drives on the servers ?
    Thank you

What exactly was shared out from the SharePoint server's file system? There are certain things that are shared by default.

Network printers prompting for username and password

With the more recent OS upgrades I can now see my printers on my home network. Very cool. When I select one to print, I am prompted for a username and password. I have tried my network keys with no luck and cannot set a password on my printers. Is this unusual and if not, what should I be using?

You can try to take a fiddler trace in both scenarios and then search for the differences. This issue seems to be related with your network configuration that with the product itself.
In fiddler you can identify what verb is requesting for credentials and from there you can go further with troubleshooting.

Prompting for username and password for opening

Hi,
The domain of my organisation is xyz.com. So when try to access any office doc from the office network it opens the office docs without any prompt in office client. But whenever try to access them using VPN or citrix it asks for the username and password.
Then if I give credentials or cancel it irrespective of that it opens the doc for me.
The sites are in trusted zone. It is happening for 2010 and 2013 both. But for pdf it is not prompting.
Why it is asking for credentials and how to mitigate this so that it opens directly from everywhere.

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.

Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

Hi Guys,
We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues.
Below is some of the steps i have taken
- Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
- Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem
Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

Hi,
This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser.
Please try the following methods:
An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
Client approaches that can reduce the impact
Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable

Prompt for username and password when executing servlet

In Weblogic 5.1 when I set the username and password in weblogic.properties file, it prompts for the usertname and password when I execute the gatewayServlet
weblogic.allow.execute.weblogic.servlet.servlets/gateway.administration=vijay
weblogic.password.vijay=password
But I guess this is not the way it can be implemented in 8.1. Please let me know how I can prompt for username and password when executing the servlet. I dont want it to be done programatically. Please let me know whether I can set anything on the properties file.
Thanks

You can use Apache ACLs, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html

Outlook 2013 - Exchange 2013 - Prompts for username and password when EWS basic authentication is enabled

So we have an Exchange 2013 environment, and a CRM solution that requires basic authentication to EWS internally. Problem is, after a reboot of our Exchange server, all of our Outlook clients begin prompting for username and password (which nothing
works) which also starts locking users AD accounts out due to failed login attempts (somehow). If I disabled basic authentication on EWS, Outlook authenticates as normal using NTLM and there are no issues. Once Outlook has authenticated, I can
turn back on basic authentication, and Outlook will be fine until the next time the Exchange server is rebooted.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook client prompted for username and password when Exchange server restart and basic authentication is enabled for EWS.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
It’s normal. This caused by the difference between basic authentication and NTML authentication:
Basic, with any version of Outlook prior to 2010, results in a pop up dialog asking for creds. Outlook 2010 makes the 'save this password' actually work, so in an Outlook 2010 or later world, Basic can mean no need to authenticate every time you open/reconnect,
but in all earlier versions, you will have to enter creds every time.
NTLM, when used by a client that is domain joined and logged in with cached creds, results in the client simply sending the cached in creds to the server, resulting in what looks like a pretty seamless single sign on experience. However, if you want to do pre-authentication
at something like TMG, and not let the traffic go all the way to CAS, you need to configure TMG for this.

Micrsoft Outlook somtimes prompting for username and password

hello All ,
I Have Exchange 2010 sp3 installed two mailbox servers & two HUB & CAS Servers and Outlook sometimes prompting for username and password .
how can fix it .
Thank you

Hi,
Please check the following points:
1. Does the issue happen to your external users or internal users?
2. For all users or some specific users?
If the issue happens to internal users, please configure the authentication in Outlook Security tab with Negotiate Authentication to have a try.
Thanks,

How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password?

Hello all
How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password? I am writing a selenium job to automate cache invalidation to load test a production issue we are facing. Selenium is opening a fresh firefox session and prompting for username and password every time. I am also trying to modify my script such that it will use the same session again and not prompt for username and password. But I thought of asking this question in the group.
Your inputs will help a lot.
Thanks,
Sundar

Hi,
You can set enabled property of /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet/ to false. It will not prompt for authentication.

Any help would be appreciated thanks sam

Boot into your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys on startup. Under the Utilities menu, open Terminal. When in Terminal type:
resetpassword
A small app will open that will allow you to reset the password for a given user (hopefully you still have an admin home directory?). Type in your new password - twice - and then reboot and use your new password.

junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!
