Leopard initial login problem!

I just upgraded to Leopard from Tiger and everything went well in the installation, but I got the the login screen and tried to login but everytime it says, "your file-vault protected home folder did not open and needs to be repaired". So I tell it to repair it and to continue logging in, but then it says "logging into user account failed". PLEASE HELP ME!! I have a school project on that computer that i need by monday!

This worked for me....Good Luck!
found this on the internet. I'm going to try it now.
This might make more sense then the Apple Support Document.
Insert Your Leopard DVD.
Shutdown and restart holding down C
pick your language
from the menu go to Utilities
Pick reset Password
Pick your hard drive (mines Macintosh HD)
From the users list select system Administrator
Enter a password and renter it and select reset
Quit password reset
Then quit OS x installer
Click the restart button
When your system restarts go to system preferences
Accounts and click the unlock button (the padlock in the bottom left hand corner)
It will ask for user name and password
For user name use the name Roots and the password you entered in the password reset.
This should unlock all the greyed out menus.
Check the Allow changes box to give you back Admin status.
Restart your computer.
This worked for me without another install. Hope it helps.

Leopard client login problem (Tiger server)... why can't I authenticate?

I look after a number of Macs and PCs at my company. Most Macs are running the latest version of Tiger but the newest machine came with Leopard. All users log into network accounts on our Xserve, running OSX Server (Tiger). However, the Leopard client machine refuses to log in to any network account, including the one I set up specifically for the machine's user, shaking its login window at me.
Users connect using Open Directory Master on the server and none of the Tiger clients have ever had problems logging in.
On the troublesome client machine, I have bound to the server correctly in Directory Utility which declares that the server is responding normally. At the login screen I get a green light and "Network Accounts Available" when I click through the options above the user name field so I know the machine can see the server.
I can successfully log in to a local account and subsequently mount the server volumes using the new name and password I've set up for the user.
What have I missed?
So far, in my attempts to resolve this I have done the following:
Removed the password from the new account;
Unbound from the server, changed the short name of the computer, re-bound to the server;
Tried logging in to other accounts known to be working;
In WGM checked that the NFSHomeDirectory entry shows the complete path for the user's home directory;
Trawled through endless forums for clues.
Kerberos is not running. Does it need to be for authenticating Leopard users?
Is there an issue with clear text passwords in Leopard? Seemingly eliminated through a no-password test account.
I'm sure that I logged in successfully once after setting up the machine but, after installing Leopard updates, logging in has consistently failed.
Anyone else having similar problems? Better yet, anyone have any answers?

No need to apologize. I learned the same way you are...
I think you may end up re-binding the 10.4 clients if you kerberize the server.
You may want to go to the server forum for folks with more definitive annswers.

In any case, make sure you have a reliable backup before you do anything.

Initial Login Problems with Oracle 10g Express

Hi,
Can anybody help, im a student trying to use oracle 10g Express for a project, my problem is the express will not allow me to login as an administrator from the word go. I'm using the right user name and password and every time I login the page just refreshes itself with no other prompts. If i type the wrong credentials i get a message saying so and if using the Hr user name and password it says its locked as it should. Ive used the sql prompt to login and this works so i no the password and user name are correct, but id like to use the GUI if i could. Ive unistalled and reinstalled twice still no joy. Any suggestions?

Hey again, thanks for your replies, Yes i have been using SYSTEM and SYS with a password of oracle in the GUI interface. When i use the SQL prompt i use the following to login:
SQL> conn system/oracle
connected.
SQL> Show User
USER is "SYSTEM"
This says to me that i have logged into the database but still i have no luck in doing the same through the GUI interface using the same credentials.

ITunes accepts password for initial login but not for Match, account information or automatic downloads

Hello all,
I have an iMac with 2.0 Ghz core duo running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and the latest iTunes 10.5.1. iTunes will accept my initial login for purchases and access to the iTunes Store. But if I attempt to access my account information, enable automatic downloads or iTunes Match, I get a login window that states, "Sign in required." I enter in the correct password but iTunes does not allow me further access. It just keeps giving me the same login window over and over. It does not state that I have entered in the wrong password.
I have attempted a few remedies, all without success:
1. Preferences>advanced>reset warnings and reset cache then restart.
2. User>library>preferences. Placed plist preferences for iTunes in trash, then emptied trash. Restart.
3. Reset password.
4. Trashed iTunes application, emptied trash. Downloaded new copy of iTunes 10.5.1. Restart.
5. Delete SC folder and restart computer.
None of these attempts have fixed the problem. I run the same software on my MacBook with a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and I have full access without any problems on that computer. The only problem is with the older iMac.
Any tips or solutions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, no I haven't heard from Apple yet. But I'm slightly embarrassed. When I was told there was no way I could combine accounts, the friendly Apple lady suggested I change the ID on the old account to be similar to my new ID. I did that (and promptly forgot about it). Until just now. Once again, I'm able to update my Apps, but it's still annoying you can't combine accounts.
More than slightly embarrassed,
Chris

AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

Hi All,
We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
Solution 1:
<key>mdns_timeout</key>
<integer>2</integer>
The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
Solution 2:
I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
If you've tried this please let us know.
TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
If you've tried this approach please let us know.
Solution 3:
Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
#/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
Place this in /etc/ folder
Hope this helps

TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
Friday, November 11, 2011
Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
Monday, November 14, 2011
Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
Unbind it from Domain
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
If you tried this please let us know.
Solution 5:
For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
Solution 6: for .local
To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
/Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
n=0
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
done
echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
Uses = ("Disks");
Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
done
I hope this helps someone!

But the question is 10.6 mac just like 10.6.8 , as long as its the same and works.
Yes. You can save some updates by using the combo update.

IMac login problems on any 10.6 update

I have a 24" iMac that is 2 years old. After using snow leopard on my husband's new macbook I decided to get it for my imac. The base install of 10.6 works fine but of course it immediately wants to be updated to a new release. If I update it past the base install from the CD I get login problems.
What happens is that the desktop appears and the finder menu is at the top but the date and network status etc - everything from the top right of the menu bar is missing. The computer will not move forward. No amount of waiting or button pushing will improve the situation.
Sometimes I could log in to another account but then it would start happening on that acocunt too. I made myself a new account and it started happening on that too. Every time if I did a re-install of the base 10.6 from the CD it went back to working fine. I would have to say no to every update of 10.6 on software update. This has been going on for 6 months. I thought maybe with 10.6.4 they fixed it but it did it again.
yesterday I did a fresh install. Thinking it was caused by my old quicken 2007 or parallels (though its v 5) or something else that has some bit that starts at login I formatted the HD , installed 10.6 fresh and installed nothing but ilife 9. I downloaded the 10.6.4 update and it still happens. I logged off my account and logged back in to test and it froze again. I am at my wits end. The only thing I saved from my old profile was my mail folder. I can find nothing else to fix. Any ideas?

Do things behave better if you boot into "safe mode" by holding down a shift key while your Mac is booting?

What's causing these power-up and login problems?

I recently switched from Tiger to Leopard (installed by the repairers) and have encountered some power-up and login problems. Basically, my set up is that the computer automatically logs into a non-admin account, launches a Safari page, and then that's it - after checking the webpage, I logout of that account, into my main account, and work from there.
In Tiger :
A few times quite recently the computer would freeze, either while Safari was launching / opening the webpage, or when I tried to logout. Force Quit didn't work (total freeze) so I would force power-off and switch on again, and things would be fine.
In Leopard, one of the following has begun to happen, about two weeks after I began using it:
• The computer reaches the grey screen with an endlessly rotating gear wheel. (Power off / on again)
• The computer logs in to the account; after selecting 'Log out...' I log out, but instead of giving me the login screen, it logs straight back into that account, and this happens every time I try 'Log out...'. (Use Fast User Switching instead to reach main account, where one or two software glitches prompt a Restart) This has happened twice.
• This morning, the computer reached the blue screen where the pointer appeared - faded - appeared - faded etc endlessly (Power off / on again).
Clearly it is not the System - experiencing problems in both Tiger and Leopard proves that. Nor is it my HD - I've had a new one installed. It must therefore be a setting in my login account, though it's hard to see what : I only use that account for login, and a single launch of Safari, and it's been ok for years.
Should i create another login account and see if that solves the problem? By the way, the repairers did not give me any Leopard install disks, so please don't suggest that method of diagnosis. I only have the original Tiger disks.

2. I don't know what Apple app(s) you refer to? As I said I've upgraded all the free ones, and iLife '06 is working (and I have the disks).
Look in your Applications folder: Any Apple app there, except for the ones you've mentioned. And all the built-in parts of OSX.
3. They told me that I CAN do a full restore from a Time Machine backup (via Disk Utility apparently).
That should tell you something about the quality of their advice.
See: [Mac OS X 10.6 Help Recovering your entire system|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html].
Or the *Restoring your entire system from a backup* section, towards the bottom of [Mac 101: Time Machine|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427].
Or look up +*Time Machine+* in Mac Help.
Or #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
And if there's a problem with your installation of OSX (which seems likely), or the Apple apps, you can't reinstall them, either.
4. Having spent hours and hours getting the machine to work properly (upgrading Mail and sorting out Mail problems, upgrading Safari, re-upgrading iTunes and sorting out problems), I'm not prepared to spend hours and hours doing the whole thing in reverse to restore Tiger, including learning HOW to do that.
Correct; unless you have backups of the Tiger system, that's impractical at best.
So unless anyone has a reasonably simple, straightforward answer as to what this problem might be, it looks like I must live with it.
You have some sort of problem with your Mac and it's not going to get better on it's own. Most likely, it will get worse.
If you haven't, try the things recommended by Dale.
Also try running the +Apple Hardware Test.+ It's on one of the disc(s) that came with your Mac, and is tailored to it's particular hardware. The disk should have +Apple Hardware Test+ and instructions for running it printed in very tiny type.
I sympathize with your situation, but the repair shop violated the Apple license, and put you in an untenable situation. If they won't correct it by supplying the Leopard disc, you really should report them to Apple.
You need to purchase a retail copy of Leopard (not the gray discs that came with another Mac; they won't boot yours). They're not shown on the Apple Store website anymore, and eBay and other sellers get a premium for them, but AppleCare should have them for the original $129.

Speed up initial login time

I have a problem in my domain environment with Windows 8 computers. Initial login time for new users is much longer than in Windows XP.
default profile size
new profile size
creation time of new profile
Windows XP
1,05 MB
~6 MB
~10 sec.
Windows 8
1,36 MB
~70 MB
~200 sec.
How can I speed up first login time? People in my enviornment very often change their computers and need to login very fast using their own login credentials. They also don't store any private data, workstations are only clients to server
applications. I'm not using roaming profiles.
I've noticed that a lot of space is taken by the files in these directories:
C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache
WebCacheV01.dat [32 MB]
C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer [13 MB]
C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\metastore [10 MB]
Is the creation of these files so time-consuming?

is that an answer? NO... Windows 8.1 is useless in school environments. How hard can it be to create a fast login experience? This is always been slow since Vista but now it's even slower... "Preparing Windows" if there is no local profile yet (which is
always the case when using roaming profiles in a large computer environment where users constantly change computers). Also what exactly is Windows doing? Because you can ctrl alt del out of it. Also sometimes a black desktop opens... Eventually icons appear.
Please MS... do you even test roaming profiles yourself as they are intended?
We have used roaming profiles for years with no issues when set up correctly. The logon times after the first logon are about 2 to 3 seconds.
Learning the basics of Windows networking and how to set up and correctly administer Windows in a domain is critical. Those who refuse to do the learning always end up complaining about how Windows doesn't work. They fail to see how it uncovers their
lack of training.
Oh - yes. On a brand new profile(never logged in before), if you remote to it it will show a black desktop. Logoff and on and the desktop will return to the default.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Portlet Errors at Initial Login

We are receiving random portlet errors upon initial login. It simply says "Error" in the portlet title heading and the portlet contents are not displayed.
Refreshing the web page corrects the problem, but you'd think that a fresh login wouldn't mean it was a caching problem, right? This is happening to all users from different workstations, and different portlets are affected at different times - but always at initial login....
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Katie,
Are there any timeout logs in your provider log files? My guess is that the error is due to timeouts. You could try increasing the provider timeouts to a sizeable amount :)
thanks,

Initial Setup Problems

I am setting up a Mac Mini Server 10.6 for our small school. We have been using 10.3 server for a number of years as a simple file server only.
I want to try out managed preferences and network home directories. I had some initial success with managed preferences but seem to have messed things up trying for network home directories.
Here are some things I am seeing.
In WGM, I delete users and they disappear but when I start up WGM again, they reappear.
When I setup my test client to login and show local and network users, only the local users show up. I do see the network users if I click on a local user and then click on the back button.
I can no longer login to a network account at login or from a finder window. I get a vague "error logging in" message.
I also could not set up my older 10.4 (Tiger) clients to bind to the server using Directory Utility. Is this possible? Ideally, I want managed preferences for 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 clients.
Thanks for any help.

Good site, Jeff... I'll check it out.
I got everything running after a few problems. A couple of the things I hit are well known bugs such as displaying network and local users and deleting users.
I had a couple of problems.
1) The DNS entry for my server was not entered on both network ports on my client. It needs to be first on all ports.
2) I had turned off access to AFP for some users inadvertently, which resulting in login problems. This took a while to find as I was looking for home directory and kerberos problems.
3) I had to automount the user's sharepoints, not just the container (/Users) folder for automount to work.

Hbogo login problems

How can I find someone at Verizon to help me with hbogo.com login problems? hbogo.com site says contact Verizon. I have spent more than 20 hours on the phone with Verizon support over a period of 5 weeks amd keep getting transferred to other areas and then eventually back to the original support service (if not disconnected first). hbogo.com is a service provided through Verizon. Initially I had no problem signing up and using the service. Then when I really wanted to use it while on vacation, I started received a message at logins that I had exceeded the maximum number of logins for this account - which I don't understand, since no one else is using the service or has my login info, to my knowledge.

Dear sloopy,
Are you using your verizon.net email to login? Have you attempted to reset the password? Please go to the secure link: https://www22.verizon.com/content/verizonsupport/ . Enter your Fios account Name, Address, Phone and Email. Please reply back once it has been completed. Thanks for your patience

Login problem after locking Mac overnight

We have a number of Mac users who are experiencing a similar login problem and we're at a loss to understand why. We are having the same issue on MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, and iMac. Most are using 10.5.6, a few earlier versions. Most have the lastest updates, a couple don't. Each has different energy saving settings as well. So, the issue seems to affect different computer conditions. Also, one user has reset the SMC, but that doesn't work for the Mac Pros, so that's probably not the issue. Below is the original email I got from a user so you can see exactly what is happening.
"I lock my screen when the screensaver is enabled and it works perfectly except when I leave the system locked for a day or more. After being locked for a long period of time it takes a very long time to unlock. For example, I leave at 3PM on Friday afternoon and lock the machine. When I arrive at 8AM on Monday morning it always takes 5-10 minutes unlock the machine. I enter my password and it appears to be attempting to check the password but it just sits there until it eventually fails and says “Please try again.” My password is still entered so I just click “Okay” and it logs me in instantly."
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply. In answer to your question though about shutting down, the users sometimes need to remote into their computer, so shutting down is not really an option.
How do I view the console logs?
In the utilities directory, run console.app
You can search by date or look at the various logs - error logs, normal logs, etc.
If I do find that one or more applications are causing a problem, is it then just a matter of sutting them down before logging off? It is just kind of unusual in my opinion that this is affecting so many users running so many variations of software, computers, etc.
It may be one app thta is common to all the computers. If an app is not properly written, it may cause a problem if it is forced to shutdown from an external program. When a computer shuts down, there is a signal sent out but unless the app responds to it properly, the app may essentially undergo an unexpected forced shutdown and when restarted need to recover.
Also, if for some reason the Leopard filesystem is flagged as not being properly shutdown, it may run an fsck upon boot, which takes some time, or it may simply copy journaled data which is faster but also make the restart appear slow. These items should show up in the console logs.

Web Center app with ADF Security - login problem

I have a custome Oracle Web Center app.
I have a page.html with an embedded login form posting to j_security_check. I've configured the ADF security policies to redirect to a JSPX on successful login.
When I try the correct username/password, I get redirected not to the page I defined in ADF, but to the root page http://127.0.0.1:7101/MyApp-ViewController-context-root/
and i get
Error 403--Forbidden
I've checked the weblogic.xml as per http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/12/solving-error-403-forbidden-in-adf.html, all the required entries are there.
This works fine if i use a Login link with
destination="#{'/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx'} "
which redirects to the default login.html and then to the right page. I've copied the form from the default login.html into my master HTML page.
Hope my question is clear. Any suggestions why it is going to the wrong URL after login.
Is there anything specific I should see in the jazn-data.xml or web.xml regarding the post-login URL since i cant see that in either.
P.S. Have been advised to try here when I originally asked this in the WebCenter forum. Web Center app ADF Security - login problem
Edited by: new_to_webcenter on 18-Jan-2011 05:25

When configuring ADF Security via JDev , I chose "Redirect upon successful authentication" to the Welcome Page
"/faces/postLogin.jspx"
this then adds into web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adfAuthentication</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.adf.share.security.authentication.AuthenticationServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>success_url</param-name>
<param-value>/faces/postLogin.jspx</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
So the sequence which works is:
Login via the '/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx' and this redirects to login.html (OOTB form which posts to j_security_check) and then to the postLogin.jspx
I'm trying to do away with a Login link, and trying the simple login form embedded in my page alongwith other content.
So should the form be posting to j_security_check directly or to the adfAuthentication ?

Leopard initial login problem!
