Erratic authentification failure

My computer has ceased to recognize my admin password when I try to run certain tasks, but not all tasks. Installers particularly are subject to failure. One VISE installer will request the system.privilege.admin right and tell me that "The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges." Another installer (Stuffit Expander 10.0) requesting the same right will not give an error, but will just quit directly after I enter my password.
I have tried repairing permissions, creating a new admin account, and would try running other maintenance a la MacJanitor, but that application also quits directly after I enter my password.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I posted the same query again under the title "Authentification Question" and got some responses. You can find it (maybe) at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=267636&tstart=0
None of the suggestions helped my problem, so if you get anywhere with yours I would love to know.

Blackberry Z10/Q10 - WPA2 PEAP MSCHAPv2 RADIUS failure

Hello,
we don't get our Z10/Q10 Smartphones to work with our RADIUS infrastructure.
All other phones (Windows Phones, iPhones, Androids, BB 9800,9810,8900) work without problems.
We always get an authentification failure. We don't need/have an certification check.
We also tested all possible options, but it won't work.
This is very disapointing and frustrating.
Regards

Just to let you know, we've found the problem.
It seems that the Z10 (Q10) have a problem with passwords which have special characters...
Maybe our security policies are too strong for the self-named high-security systems from Blackberry.
It's a pitty that it works on all other plattforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) but not on the Blackberry Z10,Q10 series.

[SOLVED]GDM don't ask password and fail authentication

Solved by reinstalling all the stuff involved, like skunktrader said the .pacnew files are the NEW config files that we had to fill with our preferences, because it have new options or diferent stuff
Thank you again Mr. skunktrader
Hi everybody.
I was looking for tunning a bit my installation of arch. and ruined something about X and authentification.
the files I remember to have deleted are all in /etc that ends in "-" and ".pacnew" and ".original"
those files includes shadow- and passwd-.
I was sure that those files are just backups, but now i dont know.
so, after that i run pacman -Syu, and then rebooted.
here is when all load exept gdm, which show the above panel and the central square with my username. and the cursor from x shows a handclock like it's loading something but never ends to load. I click on my username and dont do anything. i pres enter and here it should ask my password but doesn't do anything, then i press enter again and says authentification failure.
im tried uninstalling, erasing all configs that i know about gdm, and reinstalling, but no make difference
i tried slim, kdm, enter, console login to x by .bash_profile, i tried start it in daemon in rc.conf and service in inittab but it still the same thing.
obiously i have all the functionality of console but none for X
this is the /var/log/gdm/:1-greeter.log. I think that it said something about this

Hi everybody.
I was looking for tunning a bit my installation of arch. and ruined something about X and authentification.
the files I remember to have deleted are all in /etc that ends in "-" and ".pacnew" and ".original"
those files includes shadow- and passwd-.
I was sure that those files are just backups, but now i dont know.
You should never just delete .pacnew files. You are meant to merge the contents with your existing files

User confirm, generated report.

Using BI published, I created a report that generates and displays all incomplete records inside of the database.
Is there away to set a an (alert/procedure/trigger/confirm) that asks the user to confirm there transaction?
For example,
1. User generate report using BI Publisher
2. The data is displayed
3. Confirm ("Did everything display correctly?")
4. If confirm == yes then run some script
5. If confirm == no then don't run script.
Fyi: I am new to BI. If you have the any answers or questions, send me an email.
Or should I create a dataTemplate? Or this method is not possible?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Scott, I already have the WCS and I do see the line that I am looking for within the events logs. Unfortunatly it look like I can't generate an authentification failure report and/or export the event logs so I can then parse the csv file for the error I am lookfing for.
In regard to the syslog, the user name that failed to authentificated doesn't seem to show up, therefore I can't generate report per user as what wer'e looking for.

Can't connect to Azure Win 8.1 Enterprise virtual computer via RDP with Microsoft Account but Local Account

Hello Community,
I have Problems to connect to a virtual Computer on Windows Azure. But only when I host a Windows 8.1 Enterprise Computer in Azure. When I use a Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual Computer I can connect without Problems. Also when I use a Local Account on my
Windows 8.1 Enterprise Laptop at home with which I want to connect to the virtual computer, I can connect to the machine. But when I use a Microsoft Account on my Laptop it fails with "Authentification failure"
I hope anybody can help me. Thanks in advance :)

Strange log entries (authentication fail) wth Home...

I was idly checking the event log on my Homehub 3B and noticed something odd (to me) under the GUI category. An extract from the log reads...
12:51:50,26 July. HTTP User admin login from 192.168.1.64 successfully.
12:28:26,26 July. HTTP User Basic login from 192.168.1.64 successfully.
13:51:09,25 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 118.113.54.xx
14:36:57,23 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 121.229.212.xxx
14:40:16,22 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 118.114.109.xxx
The successful logins are from myself, on the local network, i.e. http://bthomehub.home/ but what are those Fail messages? A quick check using a port-probing tool http://.grc.com/ shows that all my ports are stealthed so how can anyone be accessing the router and getting as far a receiving an authentification failure response?
Im not alarmed, particulalry, but just intensely curious. Anyone any ideas?

12:28:26,26 July. HTTP User Basic login from 192.168.1.64 successfully.
13:51:09,25 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 118.113.54.xx
14:36:57,23 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 121.229.212.xxx
14:40:16,22 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 118.114.109.xxx
The successful logins are from myself, on the local network, i.e. http://bthomehub.home/ but what are those Fail messages? A quick check using a port-probing tool http://.grc.com/ shows that all my ports are stealthed so how can anyone be accessing the router and getting as far a receiving an authentification failure response?
Im not alarmed, particulalry, but just intensely curious. Anyone any ideas?

InDesign CS6 & CC - form field PDF output very erratic, unusable, disappointing ...failure.

Hi
Until very recently, my workflow has been to add the form fields in Acrobat. However due to problems getting form fields to tag properly in this workflow the client has requested that the form fields be added in InDesign which on one page or very simple tests forms appeared to work fine. Based on successful tests with single page test documents we embarked on a much larger job with a very false sense of confidence
I've just spent several days adding complex form fields to a 26 page form in multiple languages which includes text fields, check boxes and combo boxes. When output as an interactive PDF, several of the text fields and combo boxes do not highlight as form fields, but when clicked on repeatedly sometimes behave as check boxes, not as text input fields and sometimes highlight as a field when moused over, but are otherwise inert. I have tried using both text frames and images frames to create the text fields from indesign with similar results.
Check boxes sometimes work, in other cases, give an "on" value rather than a check mark which disappears when you click on another check box or move your curser off the check box.
d as being capable of
I've spent several days now, reinstalling software, downloading the CC trial version to see if a later version would give better results, Outpting single pages, smaller page batches but nothing I have tried has improved this problem. The results are basically unusable, which is a major disappointment because it means that InDesign is incapable of performing a task it is advertised as being capable of. I am about to begin the tedious task of rebuilding this form in acrobat, but hope that someone from adobe will be willing to weigh in on this subject. If needed I can provide both the source files and the disappointing results.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on salvaging something from this situation

Hi Derek
Thanks for sounding in. Yes, up until now I have been doing the layout in InDesign and adding form fields in Acrobat. But there are two major flaws with this workflow;
1. there is no way to properly tag form fields in acrobat as the accessibility tool "Add form fields to tags" does not appear to do anything in the way of adding tags, so in the age of accessibility these forms are basically unusable to a person using a blind reader
2. when the client makes edits (which they always do), you have a big workflow downstream, at the very least you have to go through and cut and paste from the old PDF to the new PDF
Besides which Adobe has boldly made the claim that, as of CS6, the form fields can be set-up in InDesign...

Is Mail.app one of the "erratic" behavior apps with a reset system clock?

I am hoping someone can help with a fine detail of mail.app (v2.1.3) behavior.
I had an incident where an iMac sent out 200+ smtp hits a minute and was tossed of the network for presumed zombie spaming.
I think I have actually tracked the problem to an unfortunate conjunction of circumstances that is actually innocent (if still annoying)
Let me set up the story:
1. This is a common use computer, so Mail is not configured (except that it is --I'll get to that in a moment) and
2. Safari will invoke Mail when you click on an "email link"
Mostly everyone just quits mail if they goof and click an email link.
BUT some time ago at least one person invoked Mail and composed a message. This message, naturally, remained in the outbox ever since. That person learned that they can't send email that way, so ever since they just cmd-Q Mail.
BUT Before this person learned, they walked through the mail-config and told mail to try hitting smtp.mac.com:"nonExistantUser".
So that covers the lead-up. Two days ago, mail was invoked via a Safari link, BUT it wasn't quit, it was sent to the background.
Where it undoubtedly tried to send the outbox repeatedly until it was kicked off the network.
Here is what I don't understand:
Under this scenario of a mis-configured .mac address, will mail repeatedly try and fail to smtp at the maximum possible rate?
OR
Is the one other factor I am about to describe responsible?
The one other factor:
The clock battery is dead and there was a power failure at 4am that day.
The system clock reset to 1969.
Of course, nobody reset it.
Is mail.app one of the apps that the finder message warns "may behave erratically"?
(a GROSS simplification) does it have a bit of code like:
1 check time-of-last-send-mail-attempt
check newest-item-in-outbox
if newest-item more recent then last-send-attempt
do send-mail and record time-of-last-send-mail-attempt
and go to 1
else wait X minutes and go to 1
which, if the clock was mis-set to 1969 would always record a last-send-attempt prior to anything in the outbox and trigger a send loop.
Does anyone know if either Mail is tenacious about sending to a bad .mac address, or gets ridiculous under this circumstance for bad-clock-set?

Macbook Problems: Hard Drive Failure or Bad Ram?

I bought a used Black Macbook several months ago. Everything was fine until recently I ran into some problems. It wouldn't boot one day at all, so I wiped the drive clean and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Once again everything was fine for a while until the same thing happened and I once again wiped and reinstalled. The first time it happened I used diskwarrior and disk utility to try and repair the drive with no luck. The weird thing is that after reinstalling I can check the disk and it verifies as ok until one day it fails.
I know that the guy I bought the laptop from upgraded the RAM and the HDD. He didn't do such a good installing the HDD since the IR port and Sleep Indicator Light don't function properly anymore. I've read that happens a lot when installing a new HDD.
So, Here are the symptoms:
Disk Failures
Erratic boot times: Sometimes only 90 seconds, sometimes as long as 13 minutes
Hang ups, beach balls in normal every day tasks
Complete system freezes during normal use
I've never had a kernel panic.
Recently when the system wouldn't boot I ran in verbose mode and it said something about error reading kernel cache Error 0x80000020
Is this definitely my HDD, or could my RAM be causing this?

Thanks for the replies!
Yeah, I think it's the HDD. I was just worried that the RAM was bad and corrupted the HDD or something, but given the symptoms I think you guys are right. Ordered a 7200RPM 320GB HDD off Amazon Prime...will be here tomorrow
I'll post how it goes after I finish installing it. I'm backing up as I type.
I wonder if I can fix the ir port and the sleep indicator light when I install the hard-drive. The sleep indicator light never turns off. It stays on as long as my computer is on, only turns off when I shut it down.

Time Capsule hard drive failure

Hello, all
I have a 500 GB Time Capsule that is about four years old. I use it to back up my MacBook Air and I also use it for file storage. Recently the HD has become erratic, in that it appears on Finder under Shared sometimes but not always. The wireless router part is still working fine. I can usually get the HD to reappear but it disappears again eventually. I can get it back by unplugging and replugging the TC, but I tried a hard reset and that didn't bring it back. I have backed up all the files I had stored on there as advised by the Apple Store Genius (see next paragraph).
I took it to the Apple Store and the Genius said that he thinks it is failing. He was not able to see the TC/HD wirelessly but was able to access it by plugging in a cable. He expressed surprise that my TC has lasted four years!!! He said I should replace it.
I then went to the online Apple Store and read the TC reviews, which contained quite a few reviews that report HD failure (mostly power failure, if I'm not mistaken) after 18 months or so! Some suggested that a good solution would be to get an Airport Extreme plus a USB hard drive of some other brand, not Apple. Many of these report power failure, which is not my problem. I still have power; apparently hard drive failure.
This sounded like a good idea, so today I went to London Drugs in Vancouver (an Apple retailer) and the salesman there (should be fairly unbiased) thought I should get a new TC rather than the two-piece solution just because it was simpler. He also said that in fact there about three HD manufacturers who produce all hard drives and that any one would have about the same frequency of failure, Apple include because they don't manufacture their own.
So I'm ready to replace my old TC with the new one I bought, but I'd like to get any suggestions the community might have. I can see the advantage of the TC because it's an all-in-one. I haven't opened it yet, so I'll await your well-informed input.
Thanks so much!

I think the TC is a much better buy.. If only for this reason.. the USB hard disk on the AEBS is dog slow.. whereas the TC internal drive is at least same as standard single disk NAS.. overall for what you get the price of a 2TB TC vs the 2TB USB disk plus AEBS is about right.. the 3TB TC is much poorer value.
Read the review.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4577/airport-extreme-5th-gen-and-time-capsule-4th- gen-review-faster-wifi-/4
It is fairly well done, but not everything is correct.. the stuff about the fan turning on is wrong.. it has the same issue as the old one. That is overheating, no ventilation and the fan does not turn on, has no outside vent anyway.
But look at the internal vs usb speed of hdd.. that should convince you of the value of the TC.. if you are using anything but wireless.
BTW the issue with the Gen 1 is still more likely to be the power supply.. The original 500GB hard disk was a Seagate Server ES drive.. the only server standard drive in the whole TC series although it was always promoted as having server standard drives..
IMHO a repair of the power supply would get it up and running again. Very extermely unlikely that drive will die in such a manner.. even if it was to go bad they tend to stay bad.. not come on again when you power cycle.. but power supplies sure do.
I have repaired dozens of them.. haven't ever come across a dead 500GB drive yet.. seen a few 1TB, both WD and noisy hitachi.. but even so not that many..
Lots and zillions of dead power supplies though.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair
At least you can pull open the TC and remove the hard disk and wipe it.
Interesting the Apple guys are surprised at the 4year life span.. obviously intended for you to buy a new one much sooner than that.

Trackpad Failure for no Known Reason - Should Apple be Held Accountable?

About a week and a half ago while using my MacBook Pro, purchased December 31st, 2009, I began experiencing intermittent erratic trackpad behavior. Untouched, the cursor would move across the screen and even opened Garage Band on its own. I was unable to use the trackpad due to this, as the cursor would jump around causing me to select things unintentionally. I attempted restarting, cleaning the trackpad, cleaning my hands, etc. The only way I was able to use the computer was by plugging in a USB mouse and selecting the option of turning the trackpad off when a mouse is present.
I began searching the discussions on here to determine what may be the problem at hand. I hadn't spilled anything or mishandled the laptop in any way, so that was not to blame. I came across discussions of battery swelling disrupting trackpad operation and thought it seemed possible. Not wanting to attempt a diagnosis on my own, I called customer service. The woman I spoke with said it didn't sound like a software issue as the mouse did not behave in the same manner. She did tell me that because my phone support had expired I would have to pay a fee to receive any troubleshooting help. This infuriated me - a company not willing to help a customer troubleshoot via the phone??? Mindy informed me that I could take it to the nearest apple store (over an hour away, might I add) and see if they could be any help. She set up an appointment for me the next day at 3:00.
At the Apple store, I checked in with a man whose role was not entirely apparent to me; he seemed disinterested in the swarm of people in the store and more focused on looking important with his iPad (A sales rep. had to tell me that he was the one I would need to check in with - I don't even think Mr. iPad made direct eye contact with me during this process). After I was paired up with my designated "Genius" I informed him of the problem, and what I suspected it might be. He turned the computer off and back on running his diagnostic tests. Nothing seemed to be out of sorts, so he took it to the back to inspect the innards of my beloved MacBook Pro. He came back a few minutes later, and told me the battery looked fine, and that everything else looked fine as well. He then told me that the trackpad itself must be to blame, and that it would cost me 50 some dollars and an additional 30 something for labor. I asked why the trackpad was malfunctioning, as I had taken good care of my computer. I was informed that sometimes trackpads stop working. Sure, they may stop working, but not on a computer under two years old that shows no signs of mishandling! I told him I shouldn't be expected to pay for this due to this reason. He told me that he couldn't waive the parts fee and that IT WAS A CHEAP REPAIR ANYWAYS. I was appalled and told him that actually, $50 is a lot of money to me - the computer was a gift and I don't take $50 lightly. He backtracked, saying that in comparison to other repairs it was cheap. I asked to speak with his manager, who came out and told me the same thing. They would waive the labor fee and charge me for the part. The labor wound up taking about 15 minutes - definitely not justifying the cost of the "labor". The final paperwork I received stated:
Issue Verified: No
Known Liquid Damage: No
Issue: Trackpad tracking issues
Steps to Reproduce: Checked at the bar
Proposed Resolution: Replace trackpad and waive labor
Cosmetic Condition: Minor scratched and abrasions
Seeing as how a laptop is useless without the mouse, and the fact that I have no car and had to get a ride for the over-an-hour trip, I really had no choice but to have them replace the trackpad. I am, however, FURIOUS that I was made to pay for a new trackpad when I had done nothing to cause the first one to fail. I thought that when you purchased a MacBook PRO that you were purchasing a top of the line product "DESIGNED TO LAST...FOR A LONG, PRODUCTIVE LIFE". No one in their right mind would shell out over a grand for a machine designed to last...less than two years! I have babied this computer and rarely ever take it of the house - solely because I did not want to make a stupid mistake and ruin a very expensive, very important piece of equipment!
I am wondering if Apple is ever held accountable for these sorts of issues? In the case that a piece of hardware malfunctions on an otherwise pristine computer with no known reason, should Apple be obligated to fix the part? As Apple states that their products are "designed to last for a long, productive life", shouldn't they be required to fix problems like this? Isn't that false advertising? I wasn't even given a real reason as to why my trackpad failed! Also, if the trackpad has a manufacturing/design error, Apple should be required to replace this for me - warranty or not. (After over a month of calling about a problem with an iPod out of warranty for over a year, I finally found a rep who recognized the manufacturing error presented and had it repaired, free of charge).
Has anyone else had success in holding Apple accountable for this on a product that is out of warranty? If so, I would love to hear about it - I am going to be writing Apple a formal letter of complaint and would like to know if anyone has had them own up to the problem, along with the case #. Also, does anyone know what could have caused the trackpad to malfunction in the first place?

This is going to be a hard argument and you may not like the answer.
Were you ever offered the AppleCare extended warranty when you purchased your MBP? Like you said above ..its a "Pro" model and it should have good quality parts. Believe it or not the MBP is very well made. However, like all stuff we buy it there is a chance it breaks. Unfortunately you had a failure. There isn't much you can do when you purchased the MBP you were made aware of the one year warranty and were giving the option to extend the warranty through AppleCare. Thats the arguement that Apple is going to make.
If I were you I wouldn't write a angry letter to Apple. If you write a reasonable letter that expresses your concerns over the quality of the Apple product you will be suprised what you may receive rather then writing a angry blast of their company. Basically write the letter step away from it for a couple hours reread and rewrite it.

Same Old Hard Drive Failure... with a twist

After the odd failure of my formerly reliable and beloved 17" Powerbook G4 I did some investigation.
(capitalized words are just to help make the key words stick out)
I did the standard list of trouble shooting with the system DVDs. REPAIR PERMISSIONS: Successful. REPAIR DISK: Failed. INVALID NODE STRUCTURES were found and after it tried to REBUILD CATALOG B-TREE there was and ERROR: THE UNDERLYING TASK REPORTED FAILURE ON EXIT.
So i ran the EXTENDED HARDWARE TEST.
I got an error in the mass storage: 2STF/8/3:ATA-100 ata-6-master
After several attempts to turn my computer on the furthest I could get was the login screen. Once I typed in my password, the computer would load for a long time then bring me to a DARWIN login screen. I don't know Unix commands so I didn't know what to do. Eventually I got back to the more friendly Aqua Login. This kind of thing happened many times with no sucessful login to my desktop (although Darwin login worked but I don't know how to use it.)
I looked on several online discussions and found that I was not entirely alone with this error. Everyone seems to have similar symptoms and a similar troubleshooting method, etc.
That said, here are the two reasons why I thought my case was worthy to post:
1. Every discussion about this error I have read so far has had the same symptoms (erratic behavior, super slow running simple tasks, unexplained crashing of simple applications, slow boot and login times, etc) the only difference is, their symptoms crept in slowly over a couple months. In my case I was using the computer on and off for about 5 hours. The first 3 or 4 hours of using it were absolutely unremarkable. The system worked just as fine as it always did. Then, in the last hour, after no major changes from the other 4 hours (no downloads, installations, moving, power adapter was in the whole time with no storms, etc.), the strange symptoms began to occur. I checked the processes and everything seemed to be running fine according to the ACTIVITY MONITOR but the system was clearly bogged down somehow. I decided to do the usual fix and simply RESTART. After that I was never able to login and currently if I turn the power on, the gray screen with the apple comes up and the loading circle (not the rainbow of death one, but the line one) appears but it just spins for a while then shuts off. IN SHORT: the difference is my computer's symptoms appeared and took over in a matter of an hour or two rather than months like many other peoples'
2. I am a silly boy and I've never done any real back up. If my hard drive has truly bitten the dust, what is the likelihood that I've lost everything?
Excuse my wordiness, brevity was never my talent.

You have two problems.
One is that your file directories are seriously damaged. This is clear from the notations in Disk Utility.
The other is that your HD is about to fail. This is clear from the AHT error code: 2STF/8/3:ATA-100 ata-6-master.
If it wasn't for the message in AHT, I might suggest that you try running DiskWarrior on your internal drive to see if it can fix the damaged directories. It may not hurt to try that anyway.
Either way, I would suggest that if you have access to another FireWire equipped Mac, you boot your PB into target disk mode and attempt to retrieve your personal data (docs, pictures, music, etc.) as soon as possible.
If you are unable to boot the machine into target disk mode, you might want to try using Data Rescue II from Prosoft. This app is quite good, but it will need to be installed on another machine or bootable volume on an external drive.
Should Data Rescue not work, you'll have to go to a third-party to help you with data recovery.
Last, if you don't have a warranty or an APP, it's time to start shopping for a new HD.
Good luck.

External Cache Failure reported and computer won't boot

I have a highly upgraded Digital Audio G4 (originally a single processor 533 Mhz, now a Dual 1.2 Mhz). The machine has been running through many ups and downs hangning in there for a while. Basically everything has been upgraded except the motherboard. Normally, this machine runs like a champ and I changed nothing on it when it started behaving erratically. It just sat powered off for a while.
The latest problem ocurred out of the blue:
After being powered completely off for some hours, when I went to boot it back up, everything came on like it normally does (fans, power light, hd's sound like they're running etc.), but it would not boot. My monitor would just go into power save mode and display nothing. When the computer does this, I cannot reset PRAM nor can I boot into Open Firmware. There are no chimes and the PRAM does nothing. My keyboard does not respond to any external stimuli, it will not boot off the original CD. No keyboard input affects the way it boots. It is as though the computer powers on but starts up nothing.
The only thing I have been able to do to get it up and running is to hit the black PMU reset button on the motherboard. If I do this before powering on, then the machine boots up as normal. When I actually shut down and lose power to the motherboard, then later try to reboot, it goes through this process again and again - monitor goes into powersave mode, no PRAM reset abilities, nothing boots, sits powered on only, etc. If I open the case, hit the PMU button, close the case and then restart, the Mac behaves as normal... UNTIL you shut it down and try to power it up, then it goes through this process until the PMU is reset.
First thing I did was replace the battery with a fresh new one that I have. The computer behaves exactly the same. I have tried resetting PRAM when it boots back up, have tried resetting NVRAM when it boots back up. None of this changes the behavior.
I was at a loss with this and tried disconnecting my external devices which did not change the behavior.
The reason I now believe it has something to do with the External Cache is as follows:
I have two versions of Mac OSX on two different drives. In System Profiler, Panther told me nothing was unusual. All devices including RAM seem to be okay. When running System Profiler in Tiger, I found a new item in the list called "Diagnostics".
Under Diagnostics, there was this very perculiar message: "Power On Self Test - Result FAILED, Failure Type - External Cache".
What does this mean? Is there a way to fix this? I am sure that it's related to my problem, but what are viable solutions?
G4 Dual 1.2 / PB 1.5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) running Tiger & Panther, 1.25 GB RAM

I have narrowed this down to an issue with my 3rd party Gigadesigns CPU upgrade. Though it worked flawlessly for about a year and a half, it now does not like being powered off. Works fine if you leave it on, but to reboot after a power down, the PMU must be reset. PIA! But at least it works. But it fails to get past POST (Power On Startup Tests) without the PMU.
By replacing my original 533Mhz CPU, the power off problem disappeared. Of course, that's not an optimal solution, so now I either keep the machine on all the time or it's PMU time.
Hope this helps someone down the road...

Kerberos authentification with WinServer 2003 ADS

Hi,
I tried to implement the Kerberos authentification based on Web AS 6.40 EP6 SP17 and Windows Server 2003 ADS according to the following logs:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3541">kerberos implementation with ADS made easy</a>
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3522">Windows Integrated Authentication via Kerberos on an LDAP data source</a>
But actually it doesnt work. Already at the generation of the keytab file I got an message that it was not possible to bind to the default domain ("failed getting target domain"). The other steps were made appropriately.
So where is the problem. Does it lie at the configuration of the Domain Controller. There was no special configuration made with it because I thougt that Kerberos authentification is possible by default
Thanks, regards
Markus Armbruster

Didnt work!
Let me explain what I did and maybe anyone of you will see my failure.
1. Assigned a workíng connection to ADS of an WinServer 2003
2. Took the xml of this configuration and added the corresonding lines. (kbr5pincipalname)
3. Uploaded the xml
4. Added -Djavax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly=false
         -Djava.security.krb5.conf= E:/usr/sap/SPE/JC00/j2ee/security/krb5.conf
         -Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true
   to server configuration
5. Created
    -om.sap.core.server.jaas.SPNegoLoginModule
    -com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.SPNegoMappingLoginModule
    -com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule
6. On J2EE Host %java_home% inktab -a host/[email protected] -k keytab
7. setspn -A HTTP/server.aaa.bbb.ccc serviceuser
8. Assign HTTP/[email protected] to the loginModules SPNegoLoginModule and Krb5LoginModule
So wheres the cause for this misfunction?
Last, what is the ConfigTool->UME_LDAP_data->use UME unique id with unique LDAP attribut = samaccountname?
Do I need to change it krb5principalname?
