"Invalid Credentials (Failure)"

Hey folks,
I've seen a couple posts about this but they either haven't been resolved or the help wasn't helpful...I've had my iPhone for a month or two now, and everything was working perfectly, until last night when I went to refresh my inbox and got the "Cannot access mail: Invalid Credentials (failure)" error warning. Not cool.
Any help, my Apple gurus???

A Gmail account can be accessed as an IMAP or POP account.
Did you use the Gmail account preset when creating the account on your iPhone?
If so, the account was created as an IMAP account on your iPhone, and the available IMAP Path Prefix also indicates this.
EDGE is at&t's data or internet network - which is accessed via at&t cellular network with the iPhone. The iPhone can connect via an available wi-fi network (which is much faster access), or via at&t's EDGE network, which is much slower than wi-fi. If you have access to an available wi-fi network, I recommend using it. The iPhone will switch automatically between an available wi-fi network you have previously accessed with your iPhone, and at&t's EDGE network.
I would try deleting and manually creating the account on your iPhone. Using the Gmail account preset when doing so automatically creates the account as an IMAP account, and no messages will be lost since all remain on the server - including sent messages.

Cannot get mail - invalid credentials (failure)

i have just purchased an iphone and tried to configure gmail on it, using the procedures given on the gmail site (https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702).
i receive the following error:
Cannot get mail
Invalid Credentials (failure)
I have tried:
adding another users account (my friends) - worked
changing my password so it doesnt have any uppercase or numbers - failed
using wifi and edge seperately - failed
The only major difference i can see between his account and mine is that my user name contains a . such as: [email protected]
i am at odds as to why i cant access my gmail account via the iphone when my mates works on my phone.

Hey dpark,
The link you posted is for setting up IMAP GMail account on the iPhone. Make sure you first setup your GMail account for IMAP.

"Invalid Credentials" Message for IMAP Gmail

When I tried to update my Gmail on my phone this morning, I got a message that said "Cannot Get Mail, Invalid Credentials (Failure)". I thought something had happened with the password, so I reentered it, but I got the same message. I deleted the account and reentered all of the email settings and I still got the same message. I've checked the IMAP settings on Gmail and nothing has changed there. I can update this account on my iMac and I can sync another Gmail account my iPhone so it seems there's something specific about this account on my iPhone. Any ideas?

As soon as I posted my question, the account started working again.

Gmail Error on EDGE (Invalid Credentials)

For the past few days I have been getting an error "Invalid Credentials (Failure)" whenever checking my Gmail account.
After multiple reboots, restoring, and re-setting the account, I have isolated the problem and realized that it only occurs over the EDGE network.
There was a fix on the Gmail website that asked you to re-login through Captcha, that however didn't fix the problem.
Any one else having this problem? Is it widespread? Anyone knows a fix?

Hey siriussphinx,
Can you login to the GMail website using Safari?
Are you syncing the account information to the iPhone using iTunes?
Is your Gmail account setup as POP or IMAP? It might be getting POP Locked if your using multiple email clients. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone.

Remove ACI failure: Invalid credentials

# ldapmodify -h hostname -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Password
dn: o=testdemo.com
changetype: modify
delete: aci
aci: (targetattr="dspswuserlink || dspswloop || dspswvalidate")(version 3.0; acl "deny write access to dspswuserlink, dspswloop, dspswvalidate"; deny(write) userdn="ldap:///self";)
modifying entry o=testdemo.com
ldap_modify: Invalid credentials
ldap_modify: matched: o=testdemo.com

It looks like the "Invalid Credentials" message appears after you have submitted the modification. The best explanation I have for this is that your ldapmodify is getting and following a referral, likely to a server with different rootdn credentials.
Depending on the ldapmodify tool you are using, you may be able to prevent it from following referrals. The Sun tool had the "-R" option for this. Using the verbose argument may also give you information about which server you are getting the referral to.

Invalid credentials report LMS

Hi there,
I want to know if there is a way to show invalid attempts to access to my different equipements on LMS.
For example, Show an alarm each time someone tries to access to a switch with an invalid credentials.
Thank you in advance

for failed login attempts to the switches, configure the following in global config mode:
login on-sucess log
login on-failure log
and you should get syslog messages on succesfull and failed login attempts.
Additionaly, you can define an automatic action on this specific syslog message to send you and e-mail based on this message

Invalid Credentials: The Network location cannot be reached

I am working with MDT 2010, and I am getting the error, "Invalid Credentials: The Network location cannot be reached." When I run the LiteTouch 64 bit, I don't think the network is working. It's like there is not driver for the network card in
the LiteTouch 64 bit to make the network connection. When I hit F8 key, it brings a DOS box up for testing, and I found out these things.
- I can ping the loop back address 127.0.0.1.
- Cannot use the net use command to connect to the server share \\server01\DeploymentSahre$.
- I can not ping by name or IP address the server that is holding my Deployment Share.
This is the first time I am working with this technology, and I was following a guide off the Technet library. It almost like I am missing the driver for the network card. I have Windows Deployment installed on server01, the server will answer,
and I am able to put in my user name and password, it accepts and starts loading.
I did figure out how to inject the network drivers into Windows Deployment for the Motherboard I was using, do I have to do the same thing here again? MDT is using the Windows Deployment Images on the server01; MDT is setup on server01. I would have
thought that since the driver was already injected into the Image MDT would use that as well. So, do I need to put a driver into the LiteTouch 64bit image and if I do how do I do that?
thanks very much for your help,

If you haven't updated the deployment share after adding the proper drivers to OOBD then your LiteTouch boot images will not have them included. Just right click the deployment share and click on Update Deployment Share, it will take a while but it
will rebuild the boot images with the drivers you've included in OOBD. Then it's just a matter of either recreating the flash drives or loading the updated image into WDS.
Another thought:
We had an issue with some HP's that had Main Boards replaced. the BIOS time was WAY off and the UUID wasn't setting itself because the network was denying it access to our servers (because of the horribly wrong time). Once we corrected the time
in the BIOS everything ran fine. The error we got while trying to do the deployment was the same as what you describe and we could still ping various machines on the network too.

Could not connect to Orchestrator web service - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials

I am trying to set up the Orchestrator Connector for Service Manager, when running the test, I get the error
<h2>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</h2>
<h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.</h3>
The account I am using is the system account for Service Manager. I have added that account to the local admin group on the Orchestrator server as well as the Orchestrator admin group. But to no avail.
Now when I am logged on to the Orchestrator server locally with my account, I can access the Orchestration Console with no problem, however when I try to connect to it remotely using my account, it will not accept my credentials. I need to sort this out,
can anyone help?

I found the solution, using the IIS Manager I changed the Windows authentication providers by moving NTLM above negotiate.

MDT user credentials error: Invalid credentials: The network path was not found

I have DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 pc. In the before, DELL630 is working with my MDT service, but now, DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 not working with my MDT.
When PE loaded and go to User Credentials interface, I input the user name and password(I confirm the user name and password is correct), it will display error message "Invalid credentials: The network path was not found". I checked that the network driver is correct.
After search some information in the website, someone said that maybe the network initializing timeout issue, so I according to Tim Quan guide to add following to startnet.cmd
wpeutil InitializeNetwork
ping localhost
wpeinit
Then I update the deploy location in MDT and then re-loaded it again, but unlucky, I still meet the same issue. I tried to use ipconfig /all command to check the network status, I couldn't find out local network connection. I click "Cancel" to check the error message, it will display"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. DHCP lease was not obtained for any networking device!Possible cause: check physical connection".
It seems that PE not loaded network driver successfully, but it is very strange that the network driver is correct.
Have someone can help me?
Thanks a lot

Scan to Email not working - Invalid Credentials error (using gmail and 2-factor authentication)

I configured the HP OfficeJet 8600 printer for scan to email using the Embedded Web Server interface. In the Web interface, I added/entered an email address for my gmail account, and set the correct SMTP server details, and entered 465 for the port number. I checked the "Always use secure connection" box, as well as the "SMTP requires authentication for outgoing email messages" box. I entered correct SMTP user ID and password. Yet when I did a test, I got an error "Invalid credentials" After a lot of frustration, and trying all sorts of things, I eventually got the idea to try another email account. This time I tried a different email account, a netzero email account, configured the smtp server details for it etc. And this time when I tested the netzero email address it worked. I tried the scan to email on the printer, and it worked for the Netzero email account. it just didnt work for the gmail account. I had a while back turned on 2-factor authentication. I went to gmail settings and requested an "App password" for my HP printer. Google/gmail displayed a 16 character password, which I then entered into the password box in the HP OfficeJet printer Embedded Web Server interface (instead of my usual password), for the gmail account. And this time when I tested the email account - it worked! Problem solved! .. I share this just in case anyone else is having the same problem I had, and is going through the same frustrating experience I endured!

Thank you. This helped TREMENDOUSLY!

Suppress HTTP Authentication dialog for invalid credentials

If I want a custom login screen with domain, username and password fields for my AIR application, that uses Basic Authentication on the server, I can use
<code>
URLRequestDefaults.setLoginCredentialsForHost(myDomain, myUsername, myPassword);
</code>
and it works fine. But if I enter invalid credentials, the "built-in" authentication dialog pops up. How can I suppress that? I read somewhere that I could use URLRequestDefaults.authenticate = false; but that just seems to kill the authentication process altogether.
Any ideas?

No, that's not the case. I am talking about the user authentication dialog that is shown whenever you access a member restricted web site.
Through Java, we can pass the user name and password values if we know, and the dialog will not be shown. But, I face the problem in NS 4.7x.

SSGD 4.40.907 and SLES10-SP1 64bit - Invalid credentials while logging in

Hello everybody.
As a test, I installed SSGD 4.40.907 on a SLES10-SP1 64bit virtual operating system (it's operating using the XEN hypervisor, paravirtualized mode).
The installation went well (I had to copy old libraries - namely, libexpat.so.0.5.0 and libgdbm.so.2.0.0 - from a previous version of SLES + ldconfig) and I was able to get to the login prompt but as soon as I entered the "root" password I got "Invalid credentials".
I tried again (in my test environment, the root password is VERY simple) but no dice; I checked the root password by logging into the system using SSH and it worked fine.
I tried with different local accounts (eg, ttaserv and ttasys) but got the same message.
Please notice that, under the very same piece of HW but using a SLES10-SP1 *32bit* under XEN, everything works as expected so it seems a 64bit OS related issue.
Thanks,
Rob

Casper,
Can you please try the following.
On the protected server please try to remove the account and remove the DPM agent. Reboot, after that please manually reinstall the DPM agent on the protected server -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757789.aspx. Run the setdpmserver command and after completing successfully check the account to ensure the following.
1) It is set for the password not to expire and user cannot change password
2) Is included in the following groups, DCOM Distributed Users, DPMRADCOMTrustedMachines, and DPMRADmTrustedMachines.
If that all checks out, please goto the DPM console and tried to attach from the DPM console first and then try the powershell command if the console errors out.
Here are some other things to check as well:
Step 1) Ensure NTLM is working - UNC from DPM to PS and back
Step 2) Ensure DCOM is enabled on protected server - Type DCOMCNFG > Computers > My Computer, right click and select properties, go to Default Properties and ensure "Enable Distributed COM on this computer" is checked
Step 3) Ensure all firewalls have needed ports open -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh758204.aspx
Step 4) Ensure user account is set to never expire and user cannot change password
Step 5) Try attach from DPM console first then DPM powershell
If that still does not work please ensure you are on the latest DPM patch and try again.
For DPM2012 SP1 that is DPM3.6(Note: you will need to have RU3 installed prior)
4.1.3419.0 - DPM RU3.6 - Hotfix for System Center 2012 SP1 Data Protection Manager (KB2886362)

Invalid Credentials

Hi LDAP Gurus,
I'm a novice in LDAP and JNDI.i installed OPENLDAP on my linux system and its working fine but when i try the example of JNDI, it is giving me the error of INVALID_CREDENTIALS. The Error is :

Netweaver CE 7.1 gives Invalid credentials

Hi,
I am new to SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1. I tried to install the CE 7.1. when I try to start, it asks me for OS user id and password. The OS user by default is my laptop user id which has admin rights and I don't have a password set. Every time it throws error "invalid credentials" and I am stuck up having no clue.
Appreciate your help.

Hi Naveen,
The systemrequirements.htm page in the download package says:
"Note: If you use a Windows XP account without a password , SAP Management Console can not start/stop your instance via Web Service - use system services instead"
I believe the "Start Application Server" shortcut in the Start Menu should also work in this case.
HTH!

Cannot complete email client form, keep getting error message "Invalid credentials check email and password"

I have Elements and Premier Photoshop 8 on my windows 7, 64 bit, computer. I just downloaded the upgrade to #13 for both. The Elements downloaded ok and transferred pictures from #8. My problem is that on 13 I cannot configure an email client so I can email my photos to other people. When I fill out the configure email client form I get an error message that says "Invalid credentials Please check your email address and password and try again" I did that and continued to receive the same error message. I entered the email address and password I use to get into my adobe account. How can I solve this problem?

Hi,
In the organizer, in the Preferences -> Email, the email address and password is not your Adobe Id, it should be your mail service provider - it could be a Microsoft Account or a Gmail.
When you normally use emails, you must have an email account with a password - use that.
If you have to use the "other" type of service provider, it needs to be configured for the SMTP service.
