Failure to Login Netwoprk Account | AFP EIO Error

Hi,
I'm running SLS 10.6.6 and clients SL 10.6.6. My account is a network account. It has started, recently, to fail to log in because the HomeDirec tories shared users home folder is unavialable (I presume). The console of the client is chocka with:
11/01/2011 14:35:03 /usr/libexec/mount_url[527] AFP error -5018 mapped to EIO
The client looks like it's logging in but actually it is stuck at the login window (not frozen though). The only way out is to hard restart.
If I restart the server the problems goes away and I can log in network accounts. This isn't the only login problem I get but the other one goes after multiple login attempys (message about user being unavailable).
Any ideas?

The same thing happened to me this morning. Both (Server and Client) are on 10.6.6. Home Directories are mounted via AFP over Airport from the Server. After rebooting the Server the Error disappeared. Is there any other way to fix it without rebooting the Server?

  • Error while Assigning database level role (db_datareader) to SQL login (Domain Account)

    Team,
    I got an error while creating a User for Domain Account. Below is the screen shot of the error (error : 15401)
    Database instance is on SQL 2000 SP3. ( I know it is out of support, But the customer is relutanct to upgrade)
    On Google search, i found below article which is best matching for this error
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324321
    I have follows each step of troubleshooting. But still the issue persists.
    Step 1. The login does not exist == The login is very much exist in the domain as i am able to add the same domain id to other database instances
    Step 2. Duplicate security identifiers == i have used this query to find duplicate SID
    /*  SELECT name FROM syslogins WHERE sid = SUSER_SID ('YourDomain\YourLogin') */
    But there was only one row returned with create date of today's.
    Error while Assigning database level role (db_datareader) to SQL login (Domain Account) 
    Step 3. Authentication failure == Domain is available. User is able to login on other servers via RDP connection.
    Step 4. Case sensitivity == Database collation is set to Case insensitivity. (CI)
    Other two 5. Local Accounts & 6. Name resolution == is not applicable to me.
    I tried other ways also.
    A. Creating login and providing permission in one go only = User account is not created
    B. Instead of GUI, use query to create login and provide required permission = Same error.
    Does anybody has faced any such situation

  • HT201317 When I go to log onto iCloud using my Windows 7 and it asks for my login information, I get the error saying my Apple account is valid but not an iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account? Thank you

    When I go to log onto iCloud using my Windows 7 and it asks for my login information, I get the error saying my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account?
    I don't have any apple products personally, this is for work to use Photo Stream so when Superintendents & Project Managers take pictures of their construction site, I am able to have those images immediately.
    Thank you

    You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, you will need an Apple product. Once the account exists you can logon to it from a PC.

    So my head's swimming with "I dunno's" and I've been perusing probably all the wrong threads trying not to sound like a noob and find the literature that will finally lead me to a solution.  This is my first rodeo so make no assumptions about my experience (maybe).
    Short Version
    I can't login network users.  I get an error "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.  Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>    i.e. /Network/Servers/department.domain.com/Department/Accounts/bbunny
    If anyone can point me where to read, I will do so.
    Perhaps a longer discussion on how to verify that the proper permissions exist on the share/home directory in question and what those would be.
    More detail...
    I want to setup a Mac Mini server to have network login accounts stored on the 2nd data volume in a directory we shall call Accounts*.  Here all the "network users/logins" have their home directories, so that when they login at the workstation the idea is the workstation will sync their account and allow them to login, if the server is not available, the hope is I can configure it to allow them to login if they've logged in before and the files will sync when they are able. That being the ideal, I get the impression that for best practices, Apple is discouraging the use of mobile accounts that use Home Sync perhaps because it's reliability has been iffy, please advise.  A windows user might think of this as "roaming profiles" but, if I understand it, its a little more than that.
    Note, I do not want to login to the server and actively work on that network share, I want the account to be local and sync'd as needed.  But I want the user to be able to sit at any of the 6 other workstations and see the same documents, emails etc.  Obviously if the server is down, it won't be possible to authenticate, but I think it should have cached credentials that should allow the user to login if the server is down and still go about their work.
    This is the small picture...there is a larger picture that involves, parallel virtual machines of Windows Server 2008 R2 on server and and Windows 7 on the client, ical, ichat and perhaps wiki's.
    I apologize for the roughness of this question, in the interest of brevity, I have plenty of problems that led me here that I can expound upon if asked.
    Also a silly question someone might know the answer too, Why does the login payload settings that I have pushed to a workstation device, sometimes vanish inconsistently upon logout? 

    Ok, Some Good news and clearer understanding to disseminate in this post I hope it helps
    "the Universe" so I am posting it here in my "ever-the-noob" blog on apple forums.
    Problem
    What do you do when you get an error when logging into a mobile account setup?
    One symptom would be the error message below...
         "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
    Logging in using >console  You get the message…
         "No home directory: <path to home directory>"
         or
         "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time. 
         Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>
    Solution
    Do the check list…
    Short Version
    Sever Admin.app > Access (Key Component)
    Check Permissions on directories for your file shares. 
    (The reason stuff doesn't work especially when you're rebuilding/recovering a server)
    File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
    Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl 
    ( Do not underestimate the importance of this part!!!!
    Use white-gloves when you're handling it though!!! )
    Workgroup Manager
    (You're poopy "main" interface that really is a "window", not a "door", but maybe Apple likes to do things "Dukes of Hazard" style?)
    Long Version
    Check Sever Admin.app > Access
    Make sure that your user has the "Proper" access.  For me I created a test user from Server.app and saw what access he had as a way to "check myself for a properly created users" and because I think one is kind of on his/her own using WGM and duplicated the same access. (I was a little neater, though and did it with a group, not individual users, that would have been a mess!)
    Server Admin.app > Access
    Click the "+" sign, sort by UID and Add the imported users  to the following Services…
    ( You can use a group, but understand when Server.app creates users they get added
    individually to each of these groups. )
    Address Book
    AFP
    iCal

    Check Permissions on directories for your file shares. 
              (That's an understatement) I could go in depth about all the crap I had to read about, I still
              know I am missing a chunk of tech brain when it comes to the particulars. Basically, I boil
              it down to this…
              Permissions require thinking about things first with regards to POSIX permissions... good
              ole ls, chmod, chgrp, chown to the rescue with ugo permissions or the old 755, 600 etc
              stuff.
              Apple's file-sharing access uses this as a starting point to see what the user is allowed to
              access.
              I also needed to use chflags once to unhide a file that I mucked around with using xattr. 
              I still haven't figured out why folders can lose their triangles, but I didn't find out if you cp or
              move them from terminal, the triangles come back in the moved or copied directory.  For a
              minute I thought it was because cp alone doesn't preserve flag attributes, but mv actually
              works by doing a cp that preserves the flags, unless it's a bug.  I dunno.
              This helped me get my file visible again...
              chflags hidden path_to_file
              chflags nohidden path_to_file
              Read up on those manuals, if you're not a terminal type go to apples website
              http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
              or download...
              http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ I thought that was cool.
              or if you prefer to read the manual in pdf try…
      man -t sharing | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/Sharing\ Manual.pdf
              man -t chown | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHOWN\ Manual.pdf
              man -t chmod | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHMOD\ Manual.pdf
              man -t chgrp | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHGRP\ Manual.pdf
              My basic guideline was avoid using ACLs if at all possible, if you try to use them, things
              can get crazy complicated, take notes and plan, baby. If you read above, opening up
              permissions wide is wrong though.  You would restrict permissions tightly to begin with and
              then place ACE (Access Control Entries) to specifically target the rights you want to enable.
              Here's one that's obviously a novice attempt to do this, but since the novice is the only one
              speaking…. here it is, Universe… >:P
              sudo chmod -R +ai "admin allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit,search,list" Department/
              That allowed my admin to do all the things a normal user could do so far… It fixed things for
              my admin, which made me happy.  I really hate having to authenticate or sudo just to see
              the contents of a nested directory.  I could explain it, and even give a few notes on why its
              probably overkill, but I will attempt to look less stupid till "poked".
              There's another command line utility I STILL haven't read, which may bear mentioning
              because…well I haven't read it.  umask (see wikipedia or unix.com)…I worked past my
              problems without going into it so far, but obviously it's there, and it serves a purpose.
              I also found this article helpful…and educational.  :O
              http://www.bresink.de/osx/300321023/Docs-en/pgs/ACL.html
              (          Its enlightening to hear the air whistling between a developer/coder's ears, still it's
                        apparent he has a clear idea what's going on.
                        Ever wonder why when you use get info to check or assign permissions it kind of
                        flakes out and doesn't take?  Read this article!          )
              Second, if you can't obtain the "specific" permissions you need with POSIX, chmod also
              can set the 2nd category of permissions, which windows users may be familiar with
              Access Control Lists (ACLs) and here you get some really fine granularity...messy stuff. 
              All in all, if I felt I could guide you through these murky waters, I would, but I think I'll let
              the professionals weigh in on that one and cut my wall-of-text to ribbons.
              To heuristically check I would connect from a client as one or two of my users and see what
              folders I could mount as a share, armored with an understanding of what ls -le@O * showed
              me in Terminal.
    3.)           File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
              Here is an example of using command line sharing utility where each share is properly
              labeled (that took a bit for me to figure out) still this share only enables the AFP share as
              you can see from my flags.
      sudo sharing -a /Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Database -A Database-afp -F Database-ftp -S Database-smb -n Database -s 100 -g 000 -i 10
              Then you do a sudo sharing -l and get back what you just did…
                                              List of Share Points
              name:                    Database
              path:                    /Volumes/Hard Drive/Department/Database
                        afp:          {
                        name:          Database-afp
                        shared:          1
                        guest access:          0
                        inherit perms:          1
                        ftp:          {
                        name:          Database-ftp
                        shared:          0
                        guest access:          0
                        smb:          {
                        name:          Database-smb
                        shared:          0
                        guest access:          0
              If you mess up the sharing command, you may not be paying attention (I wasn't) but there
              are a lot of defaults that Apple will just assume you meant to do anyway and it won't read
              any of your flags, you have to get it right or the flags will be defaulted. 
              (          Basically I could tell I was bombing it for one, I explicitly only wanted afp working, but
                        the default was afp and smb.  So each time I ran sudo sharing -l after I shot my sharing
                        command…back would come smb shared: 1 and I knew that wasn't right.  Also my
                        custom names were defaulting to the name of the directory not the name I had
                        specified.           )
              I like to know what protocol my share is over so when it doesn't work, I know which protocol's
              are connecting. It's not full-proof, but it's a bookmark.  I wish the network browser would
              identify the protocol that its available listed shares are using, because small visual queues
              like that help when you're trying to see what works.  Maybe that's something I should
              investigate via the command line?
              As a note about reading forums, I discovered using command line that "\" is kind of like a
              way of going to next line neatly with long commands…."\ " is a way to insert a space. As you
              can see above where I have a volume with a space in it. 
              Removing shares was a little trickier though, sharing -r Share\ With-space didn't work….I
              had to enclose it in quotes and do "Share With-space" instead. So nooby beware!
              (          *nix users are now rolling their eyes at this tip.          )
              I wasn't sure how you enabled a share for home directories from the command line, maybe its
              in the manual, but I was up to my eyeballs in manuals already so I haven't gone back to
              revisit this question since my work around was to go to Server.app and verify that what I set
              up in the sharing in terminal was being reflected in the gui…sort of my own MVC
              (model-view-controller) check.
    4.)           Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl 
      Make sure what you see in WGM and Server.app are reflected here….to that question let's
              take a journey where I did some exploring about that.
      Ever really wonder "WHY CAN"T I REMOVE AN OLD HOME DIRECTORY SHARE?!!!"
              Ah, then you will  - LOVE -  this tip…
              (          Provided my testing or yours, later, doesn't prove that in my ignorance I've broken
                        Open Directory. Remember, WHITEGLOVES!!!! but here we get a little dirty.  I think of
                        OD as Apple's Registry, but that's not what it is at all. However, you as the user do have
                        to "****" around in it from time to time.          )
              I scoured the forums and everyone was saying things like "You have to change your server
              role" etc. which seemed a little bit dumb to me (dumb because you're pushing views around
              not "controlling"), and well, yea, that share that I couldn't modify or delete was REALLY
              bugging me.
              Now hmm… Before you do ANYTHING, how do you try to not hurt yourself…in Windows you
              can make a Registry Backup….(yea bad analogy)  In Server Admin.app you can go to your Open
              Directory Service > Archive and Choose a place to Archive your information. (Figure this out by
              yourself, this is getting long…sheesh! It's easy. Restoring is just as easy and painless.)
      Before we can remove the entry we "SEE" in WGM we should make sure no
              one has it selected so as not to "corrupt" the OD db, so in WGM first before going to Directory
              Utility set the Home directory to "None".  (We need to remember to set this to a correct share
              later….Mental Note!!!)
              Now Open Directory Utility
              Method 1
              System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options
              Click the Lock to make changes…
              Authenticate -> click "OK"          (do I REALLY have to step-by-step this?)
              Network Account Sever: • Local Server - click "Edit" button here.
              Open Directory Utility > Directory Editor
              (          Wow, did Apple hire someone from Microsoft?  You'ld think with all their research in to
                        Human Interface Design that's WAY too many clicks to get to something you need.          )
              or
              Method 2 (It's good to know about this directory, neat-o speed-o app's hidden here.)
              Use "Go to Folder" Under Finder > Go > Go to Folder...
      ⇧⌘G /System/Library/CoreServices/ 
              Click "OK"
              and Double click Directory Utility.app
              or
              Method 3
              Terminal
              open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app/
              Now From the Directory Editor Pane you will see a Pop-up menu Labeled "Viewing"
              You should glance through this and get to know it.  You should use it to see what
              information is really being stored about your Users, Groups, Mounts…
              We are interested in Mounts, which is where we want to go…and there is the pesky
              mount that you will see reflected in WGM.
              Authenticate, and delete the bugger.
              Quit WGM and restart it.  Voila, bad share is GONE!!!!!
              a.)          First select all my users
              b.)           Then I clicked on the "+" and added the correct share
                        (          Remember, I only showed you the first one we created, this is another and
                                  for THIS one you HAVE to go into Server.app and verify that it is set to be
                                  available for Home Directories in this case for AFP.          )
                        For the home directory entry you do this...
                        afp://computer.domain.com/Accounts-afp
                        %short_name%
                        /Network/Servers/computer.domain.com/Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Accounts/%short_name%
      %short_name% is a wild card for the short name there are other wild cards check out Apple's
                        Documentation on them.  I lost the link   sorry \<shrug\>
              Interesting dscl commands…(check it out in command line form and compare side by side with
              what you see in the GUI Directory Utility)
              dscl . list /users
              dscl . list /groups
              If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:
              dscl . readall /users
              dscl . readall /groups
              And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:
              dscl -plist . readall /users
              dscl -plist . readall /groups
              This made a little more direct sense to me, language wise…but fyi "." is kind of a wild card I think so the first
              commands I think look in ALL directories local, Search, LDAP whatever you have.  The command here
              corresponds to the Entry from the Pop-up menu "…in node > Blah…" see GUI of Directory Utility to confirm.
              dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users
              dscl /Local/Default -list /Users
    5.)          Workgroup Manager
              Remember this is a utility that is not long for this world.  Apple's Mountain Lion is rumored to fully
              replace it, why? Yea, Apple's making a go at MDM (Mobile Device Management) and somehow
              desktop computers are being pulled/dragged along for the ride.  I have plenty of issues with
              Profile Manager, but I'll likely revisit it in a couple of months and see where we stand.
              Anyway, treat this baby like the bottom rung, because, well it is built like you start your
              foundation here, but it's just a viewer with controlling "tweaks".  Use the other areas to get a solid
              grasp of what is actually going on.  Server.app is where you should create accounts you can
              feel are safe.  When you create accounts in WGM, you are responsible for making sure they
              have the appropriate EVERYTHING.
    This list is by no means complete, but these are the areas this noob is or was prepared to talk about.
    Good night for now.  Enjoy climbing my wall of text, and yea sorry about that.  :O Run for you lives!!!!

    Clients are Mac 10.4.9 + / WIndows/Active Directory 2003 / OS 10.4 server for management purposes.
    any ideas?

    my apologies.... posted this question in the wrong forum. will repost.

  • System failure during locking GL account 5555 by 13113910 Message no. 8I076  and the time of saving out going excise invoice.

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We are configuring the CIN Settings for our client and at the time of testing, while saving the Out going excise invoice the system is giving the error as “Balance in Transaction Error” and when pressed enter the system displays the error as “ system failure during locking GL account 5555 by 13113910.”
    We have configured Out going excise duty condition types  in the SD pricing procedure
    and
    also maintained the same condition types  as mentioned below  in the path IMG / LOGISTICS GENERAL  / TAX ON GOODS MOVEMENT  /  INDIA / BASIC SETTINGS/ DETERMINATION OF EXCISE DUTY / MAINTAIN EXCISE DEFAULTS
    under the headings
    AR BED Cond – JEXP
    AR Cess Cond – JECS
    ECS AR – JHEC
    And also maintained the settings in the Path IMG / LOGISTICS GENERAL  / TAX ON GOODS MOVEMENT  / INDIA  / SPECIFY  EXCISE ACCOUNTS PER  EXCISE  TRANSACTION and also in SPECIFY G/L ACCOUNTS  PER EXCISE TRANSACTION .
    But still the above mentioned error is comming.
    Note : error in not coming when I am removing the  JHEC condition type  from the path IMG / LOGISTICS GENERAL  / TAX ON GOODS MOVEMENT  / INDIA / BASIC SETTINGS/ DETERMINATION OF EXCISE DUTY / under the heading ECR AR, But we need the JHEC(ie. Higher education cess) also in out going excise invoice.
    Please let me know what is the issue and how to resolve it.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Please help! Bizarre login/user account problem

    In 24 years of using Macs, this is the most frustrating thing I've ever faced and I am in desperate need of help.
    For the entire story of my circumstances, see below. The short version of my problem: My auto-login user account is corrupt but I can't figure out how to bypass/interrupt it so I can log in to a different user account. Is there a way to use Single User Mode to do this - to get to the regular login screen where I can enter a different user name and password???
    I follwed the steps outlined by Michael in this thread, but it did not work
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1124380
    Any expedient help is greatly appreciated, I'm in dire straights...my Mac has been down for a week with this problem and my work is suffering.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Nelson
    Here's the long version of how I arrived at these circumstances:
    I have a single (admin level) user account on my new Mac Pro, with auto-login enabled. The home folder is on a separate internal drive (bay 2) from the OS/applications (bay 1). Out of nowhere, I got the error "You are unable to log in to the user account. Login failed because an error occurred." I was not able to login to my machine. When I tried to boot from my bootable clone backup, got the same error. Tried to boot from the Leopard install DVD, got the 5-language kernel panic screen. Off to the Apple Store.
    It didn't occur to me at this time to mention my Home folder being on a 2nd drive, that was my mistake #1. They ended up replacing the logic board and RAM riser cards, neither of which was remotely related to the problem. In the process, they were able to create a new admin-level 'test' user account, and got the machine up and running again. At this point they noticed that there was no other user/Home folder present on the startup drive and at this point I told them that it was located on drive 2. That drive was not appearing in the finder, so apparently it had croaked - and knowing this pretty much explained the original problem, to me at least.
    I get home, log in as Test, delete my old user account, create a new user account and put the Home folder for this new account on drive 3. My stupid mistake #2: I used the same name for the new account as my old account, and mistake #3, turned auto-login to this account back on.
    But at this point, everything was still working, and I commenced to try to recover my lost Home folder from my Time Machine backup and figure out how to restore all of my system settings, which were wiped out with the creation of the new Test user account. I'll skip over some of the other problems I ran into with Time Machine at this point and get to the real issue: after a couple of successful restarts and logins to my newly created user account (the one with the same name as my old account but with it's Home folder in a different location), the ORIGINAL "You are unable to log in to the user account. Login failed because an error occurred." error has returned.
    Now I'm back where I started, and can't figure out how to log in to the Test account that resides on my startup drive, because auto-login is enabled for the 'broken' user account - even though the Home folder for this account is located on a working drive.
    I've done tons of searching and can't figure out how to use Single User Mode to login to Test. When I try the login command, it says 'login incorrect', even though I am using the correct user and password. Help!!

    well, something is really messed up with those accounts so I would create a new admin account, log into that and go from there.
    To do that [enable the root user|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278], safe boot, log in as root and create a new admin account, also while you are at it disable the auto login.
    You can also work from the root account but I would recommend against it. It's not really safe.

  • I am facing "Please re-login to renew your session" error in Blackberry Z30 smartphone

    After updating my OS y2 days ago, when I am logging in to Facebook using my Blackberry Z30 smartphone, I am facing "Please re-login to renew your session" error.
    Please help me resolve this problem.

    Ah, you move too fast and too far with restored your backup. Your phone is now re-syncing with all your programs, apps, contacts etc. That's why it's wonky at the moment. Unistall FB app once again, reboot your phone with battery pull while your phone is on and connected to the wall charger. Leave it for 20 minutes and reinsert the battery. Reinstall FB app again. See if there's difference. If still no luck, since you have data backed up, I'd recommend to wipe your phone. Then try to login FB app again. Do not restore your backup. If still fails, please call your carrier. They might able to help you with reset your sim account.
    It's quite weird, never happened with my BB devices. I am thinking it might be related with temporary network problem or temporary app server problem.
    There's another Knowledge Based, just for your additional reference. Article ID: KB35532  Troubleshooting Issues with Social Networking On BlackBerry Smartphones
    Good luck.

  • I can't login caused of an unknown error (-9808)

    I can't login caused of an unknown error (-9808) since a few weeks. I know my Apple ID and the right password...
    I also can't create a new account, but the connenction to the internet is there and I can also use the itunes store with all functionalities exept the log in...
    All the other desciptions of this error (-9808) and sugestions don't work. I've also got the latest version of itunes.

    I've seen this before but I'm a bit unsure of these kind of things. Is it really trustworthy? But thanks anyway for the answer, I'll probably try it anyway.

  • Iphoto'11 facebook login: "Cannot login to Facebook: An unknown error occurred. Please try again later"

    So Migrating to a new Macbook pro (retina) has cause a few bugs.
    I have the same version of Iphoto running on both my old MBP and new REtina MBP. The difference is that the Retina MBP is running mountain lion and the old MBP runs Snow Leopard.
    The Snow Leopard Iphoto app can login to Facebook without a prob
    The Moutain Lion Iphoto app give the: "Cannot login to Facebook: An Unknown error has occured. PLease try again later"
    Iphoto app is allowed on Facebook.
    Since Iphoto was the same on both macs: I copied over the entire library from the old computer to the new one.
    The library loads up fine in the new MBP.
    I tried deleting the Facebook account and re-adding it on Iphoto. It still gives the same error.
    Can anyone help.?
    Thanks in advance

    I have the same issue, but its happened in the last week or so on my older MBP with Snow Leopard - I know its authorised on FB and my password is correct! Just thought I'd share as it may not be a ML issue alone.

  • System failure during locking GL account "co.code" by "GL a/c"

    HI Experts,
    When posting an excise invoice in J1IIN we are getting the following error.
    "system failure during locking GL account 1800 by 13113910"
    Any one have idea why we get this error?
    Thanks and Regards
    Om Prakash RA
    FI/CO Consultant

    Hi ,
    This error could be caused because of many reasons,                                                                               
    As per my understanding, the error is encountered only                    
    when multiple user press the SAVE button simultaneously(the error         
    is not encountered when multiple users run the transaction J1IIN).                                                                               
    While creating the excise invoice, at the time of saving system tries to  
    lock the GL account that is getting updated with the new balances.        
    Probably some one else could be changing the GL account data  at that     
    point of time. This is a very short phenomena and is meant to keep the    
    data consistency.It is the intended behaviour of the system. Two users    
    cannot perform simultaneously on the same G/L account.                                                                               
    Also, Please note that while saving the Excise invoice through J1iin      
    you must click on the save icon only once even if you get any messages    
    Just  press 'enter' key, instead of clicking again on the save icon.                                                                               
    This will not give the GL account locking error.                          
    If you press the save icon the GL account will be locked and if you click 
    on the save icon again it tries to lock the GL account again and since
    the GL is already locked this error will come.                                                                               
    So please do not click on the save icon more than once                    
    Regards

  • Message: Unable to login to account (name) at this time.

    I have a Power Mac G4 Dual 500 MHZ tower with 600 MB of ram. The system, disks and permissions all check out perfectly. No hardware errors or disk errors. When I try to log into my account I get the message:"Unable to login to account (name) at this time". If I try 3 times with what I am certain is my password, I get another message that allows me to type in the master password and reset the account password.
    I have tried "resetting" the password to the old password and new passwords, I have booted from the system disk and reset the account password and I have logged into another admin account and reset the password for the account. NOTHING.
    FileVault is ON. I'm quite certain this has something to do with the problem, because of the message about the "Master Password and Turning FileVault off. I've scoured these discussion pages and elsewhere for an answer, but I can't seem to find any articles with the correct suggestions.
    Does anybody out there have any helpful suggestions for this situation? I literally have about 5 years of addresses, music, photos, and other important documents in there that I really really need. Some of them are backed up, but what a nightmare. Thanks anybody for any help.

    Filevault provides increased security, but unfortunately this sometimes comes at the expense of data integrity. Apple needs to emphasize this more, but it is essential that users of "Filevault" maintain up to date backups. This is true for everyone of course, but it is especially important for "Filevault" users.
    The contents of a "Filevault" protected account are wrapped up and stored as a single encrypted file, the username.sparseimage file. The fact that everything is in one file makes all of the data vulnerable to a single disk error. The error message you describe could indicate that that file has become misplaced (relatively easy to fix) or that that file has become corrupt (possibly impossible to fix in which case the data is lost). It will also appear if the login password doesn't match the ".sparseimage" password.
    To at least try to distinguish between these possiblities, try logging in to the other "admin" account, and begin by changing the password of the affected account back to what it was originally. Then try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering these commands (in all lines, where it says 'username', substitute the affected user's short name, and enter the affected user's password when prompted):<pre>su -l username
    ls -ald /Users/{\.,}username
    find /Users -name username.sparseimage -print -exec hdiutil attach {} \; 2>&1 |grep -v ^find</pre>The output and results of the above commands might provide an indication of whether or not the problem is fixable...
