Issue: Login to OS X server using Lion or Mt Lion client. Unable to connect for ~2 minutes after user logout & login

Situation:
Using Lion or Mt. Lion client, login to our OS X server (we have a Leopard server and a Lion server) using AFP and FTP.  No problem.
Log off server and then log off as user.
Log back in as user.  Attempt to login via AFP or FTP.  It continues to bring up the login screen and won't let me login.  Wait ~3 minutes and try to login via AFP or FTP and it magically works. 
Is there a plist or other file that may need to be changed somewhere that has a 'time out' causing this issue? 

Thanks Dave. Yes, I completely removed all the elements listed there before reinstalling. The only thing I didn't do was reboot the machine in-between. I checked logs and found no crash log for ARD. Presuming I looked in the right place: /private/var/log/crashreporter.log and /Library/Logs/CrashReporter
There was one entry from December 8th in the crashreporter.log but no subsequent file in the second location where it was supposedly written.
I can hook up a monitor and access directly, it is just that I have to make an appointment with our IT guy to let me in the data center where it resides. I was hoping to avoid that. I'm reluctant to reinstall via ssh after removal. If something did happen that crashed the machine, I would rather be at the data center so I can fix it directly. I suppose that will be my next step: to go there and do a removal/reinstall directly.
Thanks for you help. Let me know if you think of anything else.
I suppose that is the next thing to try:

  • DHCP Failover, one DHCP Server Partners Supnet is deactivated, Clients losing network connectivity for 3 sec. after renewing they IP Adress

    Hello,
    currently we are using two W2K12R2 DHCP server configured in "load balance Mode". On DHCP1 the IP-scope with failover partnership to DHCP2 is deactivated. DHCP2 is working fine. Now we register that 50 percent of our clients (W2K8R2 application
    server) losing the network connectivity for 3 sec. after rereleasing they IP-Address. On DHCP2 servers eventlog we receive a lot of
    BINDING ACK reject events 20291 and 20292 for these IP addresses entries.
    These 3 sec. of loosing they Network connectivity is our big Problem because the Client application (W2K8R2 application server) cannot handle these timeout. It looks like a
    DISCOVER-OFFER-REQUEST-NAK cycle that are described here:

    there is a solution to prevent the 3 sec network failure?
    Rgds

    Hi Steffen,
    Have you applied KB2919355 in the server?
    If issue persists, please check the detailed information about the event. It will tell us why does the server send the NAK.

  • Intermittent proxy error "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server "

    Hi all,
    From time to time (at least once a day), the following message pops up on the user's screen:
    "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server . Error Code 80000000)."
    If we click "OK" it goes away and everything continues to work although sometimes Outlook disconnects. It is quite annoying...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    For the security alert issue, I'd like to recommend you check the name in the alert windows, and confirm if the name is in your certificate.
    Additionally, to narrow down the cause, when the Outlook client cannot connect again, I recommand you firstly check the connectivity by using Test E-mail AutoConfiguration. For more information, you can refe to the following article:

  • I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

    I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    A weird 'person sitting at a laptop ' icon pops up suspending the use of my Mac. I see a countdown for 3 minutes and a line of letters to type in to allow me to continue working. I have 2 minutes to work. Help. What is this!

    Hate to say it. I isolated this to only be happening with email/Mail program. Then ran Sophos Virus detector on it and it did show a trojan virus in my email spam folder. I eliminated it ; ran disk utility a couple of times and  I am good now. Spent the whole day on it though before I thought of using a virus scan... as soon as I started running sophos it stopped sending me the two minute timer as well--so just opening the virus software was able to disengage whatever was happening. My computer is all mac --no PC interface added at all. Hope that was that. Thank you for responding.

  • Lion server/Mountain Lion client connection issue

    I am trying to set up our work Lion Server to use open directory. The DNS settings are fine on the server side but the Mountain Lion clients cannot bind to the server. We are hoping to get a static IP soon so the directors can access the network remotely but I want to get this cracked before I take that step.
    The server was set up normally as far as I'm aware (I didn't set it up).
    I'm wondering if I upgrade the server to Mountain Lion if that will help, it seems as though open directory is easier to manage wit ML. Would I need to reinstall server and start from scratch?
    Any help much appreciated, excuse my ignorance I am a bit of a novice but do have some experience.

    After force Quit the option Notes is not marked in the new configured Profile. I check it in a new VM and fresh clean install and have the same problem.
    If is it not marked, the Sync not with the Server and save only localy.
    Have you check it with an other Mac or Device too?

  • Can't connect to Easy VPN Server using Windows 7 inbuilt VPN client

Well, I can connect using Cisco vpn client v5.07 but I can't connect using Windows 7 inbuilt vpn client. Is there any configuration that I am missing so that I can connect using Windows 7 inbuilt vpn client to connect to the vpn server?
    Thank you.

    Hi MindaugasKa,
    Base on your description, your case must is the NPS client can’t pass the NPS policy.
    The NPS client can’t connect the network may have many reason, such as the Network Access Protection Agent service not started successful, the certificate not issued properly,
    please offer us information when your Windows 7 client denied, such as event id, original error information, screenshot.

  • Connecting to Oracle 8.0.3 server using Oracle 10.1.0 client

    I was wondering if it was possible to connect to a oracle 8.0 or oracle 8.1 server using oracle 10.1 client.
    I have tried connecting to oracle 8.0.3 and it gives me an error saying "connections to this server are no longer supported."

    If updating your Oracle Database isn't an option, then you can have 2 different clients installed (in different "Oracle Homes" (or directories), and use the selecthome.bat file to switch between your installed clients.
    For example, before connecting to 8i, you'd run:
    C:\Oracle\Client1_8i\bin\selecthome.bat
    or this to use your Oracle 10g client:
    C:\Oracle\Client2_10g\bin\selecthome.bat

  • Can't log in to Lion Server. Open Directory Log Message says: unable to connect to password server

    I am setting up Lion Server. I can't log in to Lion Server from client.
    Checking the Open Directory Log: says: "unable to connect to password server" or
    "3394.14268, Node: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Module: AppleODClient - unable to read Password Server response - connection to Password Server was closed, socket fd 18 (5205)"
    Thanks for help with this.

    I never discovered the problem, and instead rebuilt the server from the ground up.  I followed instructions at this discussion thread.  Very helpful.
    How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.
    I have had some log-in problems with users.  I have found that restarting the server helps. If this doesn't work, I rebuild permissions on the server, followed by opening up Workgroup Manager, go to the user's password, click on options and require that the user change password on the next log-in. For some reason, this will usually fix the problem.  I then log in as the user, and "change" the password to the original one. Also note, that if you import a user, the password is not brought in.  You must enter it for each user that you imported.  Even so, I have often had to resort to the re-set password procedure to enable a log-in.

  • Lion is unable to connect to the internet to download the windows drivers for bootcamp...how do I fix this?

    I have just bought a new Macbook Pro, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. I don't have any restore discs (obviously) being that they don't come with the macbooks anymore. I keep getting an error message when I try to download the drivers using the bootcamp assistant, telling me that the assistant can't connect to the internet, and asks me if I want to troubleshoot, despite being connected just fine. I'm not running any type of firewall that would prevent a connection for the assistant and am at lost as to what the issue could possibly be. Would be appreciative of any assistance here.

    (andriod + iOS) domain as well as non domain clients.If we join windows 7 pc to the domain it  successfully connects but non domain clients could not connect.We have large number of windows 7 users that have their own laptop machines and we dont want

    On server event 6273 generated with reason code 265 "The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted".Plz help how to resolve this issue.I have searched on the internet but no proper solution found.

    Hi,
    According to the error message, it seems that you used certificate-based authentication methods and the non-domain computers has no Trusted Root Certificate for the CA that enrolled the certificate for the NPS.

    Maybe an option to use a sleep or delay command/exe, for example : RJL Software - Software - Utility - DelayExec
    Call that in a force run application that runs a cmd where the delay then gets started, waiting the amount of time specified and then the installation gets kicked off?
    If this works or not could also be dependent on rights needed etc...

    Try disabling your Firewall and if that worked, go into your Firewall settings and remove Firefox. Depending on your Firewall vendor, you might have to restart Firefox and/or restart your Firewall.
