When trying to open a workbook or drill to see the sheets in the workbook i'm getting the error:
ENTER PASSWORD
The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password.
This could occur beacuse this is a private connection or because the public connection password was invalid.Please enter the correct password now to continue.

Hello
You obviously are using a full application server with the capability to have Portal and both private and public connections.
If you are using a public connection then the password will be stored within the system and whenever the user clicks on the connection the password will be provided automatically. This is fine unless someone changes the password in the database. If this happens you will need to edit the definition for the public connection, using application server control, and provide the password.
If you are using a private connection then the passwords for these are not held centrally and you are required to provide the password at run time. This is normal behavior. After you have logged in, providing you stay within the same browser session you will not be prompted again. This happens with cookies. Upon successful logging in a temporary cookie is provided indicating to the local machine that the browser session has authenticated. If you close the session you will have to provide the password again. It goes without saying that you must have cookies enabled. Without these you will have some issues.
The only way to get private connections to store their passwords centrally is to use Single Sign-On. With this enabled and set up on the application server then even private connection passwords are stored.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

IMAP users continually prompted for password when switching folders

I've sifted through /var/log/mailaccess.log and I notice the following message is logged when the above behavior occurs:
Jan 19 00:59:49 hostname imap[3879]: badlogin: [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] GSSAPI [SASL(-13): authentication failure: user username is not allowed to proxy]
XServe Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) latest updates as of 1/19/07

to elaborate on this issue a bit more.
This issue seems to be isolated to imap clients only and started occurring two days ago on a server that has worked great for a long time. The exception is Squirrelmail which works flawlessly (Thunderbird, entourage, mail.app, etc. seem to have the problem)
The only change (that we are aware of) is a shift in the spamassassin kill rates (from 7 to 6). However reverting this doesn't help.
A user can log into their imap account without problem but when navigating to a different iMap folder the authentication information is sent, fails and reprompts then for their credentials. The second attempt (retyping of the password) works and they see their email.
The problem seems to be isolated to a few users and does not affect everybody. We can not find a commonality between them though.
The error message (posted above) is what we see in the log files. We see this in
system.log
asl.log
if it helps we are also getting some skiplist errors in mail.log
"Message skiplist: recovered"
Finally we ran all of the latest updates and are fully "upped" so to speak.

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.

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.

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 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 !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

XFA Pdf form call secure webservice without prompt for password

Hi,
We are using XFA forms within the company. We have created many (400+) interactive forms with fields to fill manually.
Now the business would like to lookup account details. They want user to be able to enter account number and then lookup details through webservice.
The webservice is created on HOST/CICS and in COBOL. We need security on HTTPS and we cannot accept that the user is prompted for password.
Our security department state that normal practice is to use KERBEROS token that gets authenticated later - is that possible with Adobe Reader??
Have anyone developed this functionality within XFA forms and Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Groenbaek

Reader can make Web Service calls but the form must be Reader Extended by LiveCycle Server to allow this. It does support secure web service calls but it does uid/pwsd or certificate authentication. Note that the web service can only return simple types. Objects cannot be returned.

Outlook 2013 continually prompting for credentials on new domain

Greetings,
I first posted this in the Office365 community forums and was directed here.
We are experiencing an issue where Outlook 2013 (Office365 install) is prompting for user credentials every time it is opened, despite checking the option to remember the credentials. So far we've tried a number of troubleshooting steps, but nothing
has resolved the issue. The issue is happening to multiple users on multiple computers.
We are running:
Outlook 2013 (32-bit) (Office 365 install)
Windows 7.1 Professional (x64)
Computer is domain joined (Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers)
Mail is hosted on Office 365
We've tried:
Clearing the Outlook and Office credentials from Credential Manager.
Removing the mail profile and the saved credentials from Credential Manager, then re-adding the mail profile.
We've tried adding the mail profile with both a manual configuration of the server settings and allowing Outlook to automatically configure them.
Ensuring that "Always prompt for logon credentials" is unchecked.
Setting "Always prompt for logon credentials" to disabled via registry (see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2984912)
Confirming that Autodiscover is able to connect (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/showcase/details.aspx?uuid=e8db028a-06f4-45fb-aff1-e8ac896d29c5)
Deleting the Autodiscover.xml file so that it is recreated
Doing an Online Repair of Office 365.
Reinstalling Office 365
Recreating the user's Windows profile.
Ensuring all applicable Windows updates and Office updates are installed.
Changing Proxy Authentication from Basic to NTLM (will not connect with NTLM)
The machines this is occurring on are on a new domain that we are in the process of setting up. The user accounts are still on the old domain. Cross-domain trusts are set up in both directions and all other services are working fine. GPO settings across
both domains have been set up to be identical. The issue occurs on computers that were built directly on the new domain as well as computers built on old domain and migrated over. Machines that are not domain joined or are still on the old domain are not experiencing
the issue.
If any of you could provide any insight or other steps that we could try I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Hi,
For the issue that Outlook keeps prompting for password, I usually suggest users follow the steps in this article below, but apparently you have tried almost all the steps:
Why does Outlook keep prompting for password
I've seen some similar issues that were caused by an old "network driver", which for some reason caused a wrong server name to propagate up from the network layer to the application layer. Updating the network driver would fix the issue, I'm
not sure if this works in your scenario though.

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.

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.

Office 365 Outlook prompts for password whenever outlook is restarted.

Hello Folks,
We have recently deployed Office 365 (We had Kerio email system previously, But we did not do a migration).
The problem is
Office 365 Outlook prompts for password whenever outlook is restarted
Tried the following workarounds,
1) Logon network security under More
Settings on the Microsoft Exchange Security tab
is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication
2) Tried removing the Generic Credentials from Credential manager.
The is issue is only for some users (Majority).
(OS Platform: Windows 7/Windows 8).
Thanks in Advance

The first thing I would recommend to do is to make sure that your install missing Outlook updates and try again.
I would also recommend asking them in this forum: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=outlook

Prompting for passwords even i configured ssh password less authentication

There are two servers :

2. Testing
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
cat id_rsa.pub >> 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
am i missing some point in performing procedure for ssh password less authentication ?

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

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.

Prompted for password after the PO is restarted

Hello everybody,
Some users are prompted for password on the device after the Post Office is restarted.
Killing the app "Mail" on the iDevice seems to resolve the problem. Do you have another solutions to avoid to kill the app.
Thx
